Is he saying they had plans but in laws couldn’t go because of money so now they’re going because he’s paying for it?
Correct. It’s not a big deal. $800 bucks for wife to be happy and two children to go to Disney for first time. No sweat.
Some of yall sound like broke arse haters and terrible men. Happy Thanksgiving figs.

How did you get conned into this arrangement?
Wasn’t a con, I wanted take the kids to Disney almost as bad as my wife. Perfect ages of 5 & 7. I’m not going to let two deadbeats disappoint my wife or take this away from their children.
Flew into Central Florida yesterday with Wife (no pics) so she can enjoy Thanksgiving with her family. Pothead SIL is hosting.
Wife would also like to take her niece and nephew to Disney. Well in advance arrangements were made, tickets booked hotel booked. Whatever you want baby (we all know the drill). Find out Tuesday SIL/BIL aren’t going which means niece and nephew aren’t going. Wife is crushed she cannot go to Disney with her niece and nephew. Guess who is now paying for SIL, BIL, niece, and nephew to go to Disney for two days? I feel like Clark Griswold. I love their children so it’s completely fine, but wtf you can’t let us know in advance? I’d would have rather gone to fricking Miami, same for my wife.
Wednesday, flight landed 12pm drive 1.5 hour north to visit with the kids and see if we can help in preparation for tomorrow. Nothing is done and the house is FILTHY. I asked SIL repeatedly if I could help prepare some of the food or get some things ready as she “works from home” but was repeatedly met with no. Wife was also incredibly off put by the state of the house and lack of preparation so we left after a few hours for nice dinner and many drinks. Very grateful we booked a hotel room.
This is our first holiday with her family in 4 years. Usually spend holidays with my family for obvious reasons and lucky for me likely will for all eternity. This morning she rolled over and said, let’s not do this again. I’m elated but playing the, “ok, are you sure? It’s not that bad.” game because I’m good like that. She’s now listing off all the reasons why we can never come back. Thanksgiving hasn’t even started and it’s already been a success/win for me. Just have to go grab a bottle of bourbon and push through the next 72 hrs. Wish me luck.

Yeah, I’m checked out until I get an ESPN alert. This place has been a roller coaster of bullshite.

I like BR but his shtick since Gov Landry got involved has gotten ridiculous. How many episodes can you whine about the governor. All his bitching is for nothing if we land Lane.
Sometimes he reminds me of a liberal woman.

This situation has many folds, Verge giving a deadline is not one of them.
Kiffin has two huge choices here…
1) Unimpeded competition with recruiting and a history of championships. More NIL money than he can spend combined with salary. You just have to win.
2) Heavy competition with recruiting. Similar salary with close NIL but schedule complicates championships. Winning/losing isn’t tied to being fired necessarily, but expectations are present. Ex-wife loves it there.
If Kiffin is about the chase and getting out from under other’s (Father, Saban, Meyer, Spurrier) shadow, LSU gives you the best opportunity/path. If Kiffin wants to please everyone around him and the championship is a bonus then UF is the choice.
LSU is Kiffin’s best shot back to the pros as well. Win 2 championships and every NFL team with a vacancy will be calling. I would argue the quickest way to pursue that path is with LSU instead of UF. FSU & UM aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. FSU is likely to hire a new coach within the next 2 years if not sooner. Do you really want to go through the SEC gauntlet and then have to play FSU or Miami on top of recruiting against them? I don’t think so. ThrowUSF into the mix and it’s a no win scenario for a total rebuild at UF. That would take some serious time and foundation laying.
LSU is always 1-2 years away from a championship. Always. The state’s talent and money is top 3 in the country. We have witnessed two championship teams with BK get absolutely squandered at LSU. All the regional coaches know it. Even Kiffin has made remarks about the roster. The clear choice is LSU. Only question is, does Kiffin still want a championship chase or does he want a check. Ball is in his court.

You are setting yourself up for the biggest legendary status of all time or the biggest loser of all time. Your judgment day is pending. Your proclamations are becoming less feasible. Doubt is increasing, confidence fading.
Hope you’re right, this would be huge for LSU.

Loosen crank strap to at least 3 foot. Slowly go down ramp. When it floats stop. Climb on dock or trailer tongue and hop in boat. Dock it, hop back in vehicle and pull off. Simple, I do it with my 24’ Tidewater all the time.

Now we are talking. Timeline’s starting to come together for things. Crazy Ole Miss doesn’t want to let this man coach through the playoffs. Deal or no deal signed.
re: If Kiffin misses deadline, Ole Miss might not let him coach the playoffs

What’s the deadline?
He’s leaving Ole Miss for sure. Where he’s going is best guess. Never underestimate Sexton.
re: Honestly why would Kiffin leave OM now?

Money, prestige, championships, and elevation to Pro Ball.

Philly, you’ve made a sucker out of me since we fired BK. I hope you’re right and I want to believe.
I have one question. What happened with Saban?

Just relax. Quit judging something that is completely out of your hands.

I think you may be giving them too much credit. Hope I’m wrong.

The belief is Nuss is playing hurt.
Nuss isn’t hurt. He hasn’t been hurt/injured since SELU. This has been consistent and confirmed multiple times. BK has used it as a scapegoat for performance and self preservation. Essentially, he lied about it. Nuss all but confirmed it was BS after Vandy.
Unfortunately for Nuss as a nepo baby has done what nepo babies do. He squandered an amazing opportunity.
Season is done dude. We are in admin restructure mode right now.

There is no universe where the governor flapping his gums like an idiot about this process helps LSU. None. Just make the moves behind closed doors.
This is the only reasonable gripe with the situation. But at the same time, why not. This is kind of who we are as a state. frick it.

But but but. The governor is talking to media and our AD was just fired. The sky is falling.
