It's interesting that so many of you are absolutely desperate to eject LSU, despite no actual evidence of wrongdoing, and no rules being broken.


I love you all continuing to conflate fear and us not liking you.

Even if they HAD told the players, "You need to have your rights established in court like other players have done," so, what?

Key word there is "firsthand". Like LSU and/or the player would just offer up an admission of guilt out of the kindness of their heart. Just because the SEC doesn't have "firsthand evidence" doesn't mean that they aren't 100% sure that LSU did it.


Thats not how it works.

Did you know the US government relocated thousands of high ranking Nazis to Huntsville AL after the war “ended.” Makes sense now doesn’t it?

That's what the court hearing today will decide, whether or not the SEC can enforce their own bylaws. And the current bylaws state that all the SEC needs is just 2/3 of it's members to vote a current member out. No evidence needed, just 2/3 of the members to agree to disassociate with the member school in question.

Not having firsthand information and firsthand information not existing are completely different things.

But . . . but . . Ole Missed fans on this very site have assured me that there are texts showing Lane's involvement. Why would they post such inflammatory nonsense with nothing to back it up?

They can't think clearly without first consuming a throat lozenge

It is far more complicated than that bud. There would be multiple hearings not just this one. That isn't the way courts work.

The SEC has always been able to enforce its own bylaws.

There really isn't much room for argument.

So why is this hearing still going on??


Because LSU hurt Sankey’s feelings making him come to BR and take the stand.

Oh, and Lane said something Saturday night that butt hurt all the SEC members and now they’re out for BLOOD!

One would think that should be case. But if todays federal court hearing isn't about getting a court ruling on that, then what is it about?

Hearings are held for the presentation of evidence, it is not the purpose of a complaint.
Is the plaintiff now on the hook to prove the allegations? Absolutely, or the injunction/suit gets tossed.


The allegation has to be made in the complaint. Find me where in the complaint does the SEC allege that LSU conspired with the players and encouraged them to sue the SEC. It's not in there.

lol…. What a little bitch. Meh we don’t like you. Meh, kick them out. You’re probably an over emotional Austin homo or a woman so we forgive you. Either way, you definitely gave out handies under the bleachers. The only reason your in this conference is money, you may go now.

They want the court to prohibit LSU from being able to seek legal action against the SEC.

No doubt. They want to be able to follow their bylaws (which all of the member institutions agreed to) without having to go through the courts every time.
