I don’t remember any threads in 2022 about Tennessee being cheaters. Wonder why?


Obviously because none of those other players had been ruled ineligible by the governing body of college football.

ESPN shows one clip of Wright in a Browns practice uniform, and suddenly every junior and lulu at Buffalo Wild Wings thinks Lane Kiffin is trying to bring Jamar and Jordan Jefferson back for their fourth year of eligibility. Zero nuance and context in the entire debacle

Eligibility is a red herring. LSU fans are mad because Chambliss is older/more experienced. So were these other players


The ones I've talked to are "mad" because the eligibility rules are being enforced selectively.

Matt Mauck was older than Chambliss entering his last season at LSU.

Then why do all the posts on the rant reference his age? He would still be 24 if he got the waiver.

And lsu fans would still believe it was a conspiracy against them.

It’s also arbitrary to let Chris weinke and Brandon Weedem play. But that’s the world we live in.

Age has never been a qualifier on NCAA eligibility. Not sure what your point is.

I guess you'd have to ask those specific people. I have no problem with his age. I have no problem with Ole Miss doing all they can to make him eligible.

I have a problem with this conference picking and choosing when they want to determine eligibility.

1. Yes
2. He got a 6th year because of covid not a pretending he was sick when he was just 4th string

All of the older guys should be embarrassed about playing in a league comprised of mostly 18-21 year olds. There should be a hard age cutoff at 23, with very, very rare exceptions allowed.

I think it is dumb to reference his age. I would just call him an ineligible 6th year player which he absolutely is.

When it comes down to it, there is no public outrage because it is Ole Miss. If that same thing happened with Kiffin at LSU, there would be so much outrage at LSU "cheating". But good guy Ole Miss can do no wrong by having an alumni give players extra years to help his own school out.

Ole Miss using the court system to successfully land Chambliss a sixth year

This reminds me, he's still ineligible per the NCAA. Would be hilarious if a Gainesville judge issued a TRO for Chambliss to not play this weekend

If I were an Ole Miss fan I would be bragging about sticking the middle finger to the NCAA and SEC and playing a sixth year quarterback.


It’s way more bizarre to pretend he’s unquestionably eligible and act like the university actually abides by the rules and ethics while LSU does not

You mean Chambliss coming back per the Ole Miss Law School grad Judge...

He is playing due to a State Judge injunction, not a federal one. Don't see why the two players that were looking at LSU are being singled out and not Chambliss.

That being said, we lost. It is what it is. I hated the defensive game plan and the O Line stunk.

All I want is for LSU fans to admit they wouldn’t give a crap about the whole situation if Chambliss was at Kentucky or Vandy or South Carolina.

Y’all care so much because he is at a rival school. A rival that you desperately need to feel superior to but haven’t actually been better than since NIL came around.

I didn't like the conference allowing Pavia to play any more than Chambliss.

Cool? Clearly this thread was directed at the 90% of posters on the rant posting about Chambliss nonstop.

Why would LSU fans care as much if Chambliss is at Kentucky? That wouldn’t give a huge rival a substantial competitive advantage. Of course we’d care less if he was at Kentucky or Vanderbilt. Who is arguing that?


LSU isn’t desperate about anything. Our NIL in the big 3 is miles ahead of Ole Miss. Wade has twice the NIL Chris beard does. We’ll be just fine
