Yeah, they're called rednecks.

Worst fan base in SEC. Think Deliverance on steroids. They’re just weird — cheesy and corny at best — and about 20 years behind the times.

Coming from Austin, TX to Knoxville, TN … holy shite. A modern, in shape, unique and fun city to a spawning Cracker Barrel

re: Is Iowa a better CFB program than Nebraska?

You’re missing the whole point. Did you just disregard the following:

It’s no jab or slight to Iowa. I have nothing against them and kinda like them. Iowa has been more consistent as of late, but since 2000, Iowa has a .643 winning percentage while Nebraska has a .577. Iowa controls the head to head in that timeframe, but the difference between the two isn’t too far off. It’s not like comparing Nebraska to Ohio State. I just think Nebraska is more capable to turn the corner than Iowa. That’s all. I mean, their history speaks for itself…they’ve proven they can win and win big.

About 20 years ago, I went to the LSU - OM game. Had a blast and ended shacking up with a really pretty OM KD from Madison. I kid you not, early morning she, still asleep / sleeping it off, ripped a massive deviled egg fart. Could never shake that. We were up there the following Spring for Double Decker and she was trying to meet with some of her NOLA sorority friends…just couldn’t shake the sound and smell

How about the TouchTunes today as well, LSU fight song was blasting on them throughout the city on any TouchTunes jukebox that, the digital splash and the aerial banner. I must say the tiger fans did their job. Now it’s time for the players to do the same

I remember Tennessee did the same (TouchTunes) to Ohio State — blasting Rocky Top throughout Columbus — only to be absolutely OBLITERATED by the Buckeyes. Ohio State thoroughly reminded Tennessee who the are and who Ohio State is.

BK is the last person who’s football opinion I give a shite about.

Truthfully, this. I “thought” he was a good coach. I thought Notre Dame couldn’t compete due to a plethora of things: culture, academics, location, women etc. Freeman has quickly proved that to be wrong. I, evidently, was a dumbass.

Kelly is just a straight up shite coach and a trash human being. He buffed his record up by beating Akron, Navy and Purdue while getting the doors blown off against anyone of note.

It boils down to he was just a shitty to average-at-his-best coach. He doesn’t know football, can’t recruit, and can’t out scheme other coaches. He’s just a fat dud. There’s a reason they’re sticking his useless arse in Las Cruces and San Jose to “call games.”

You’re effectively shutting down 50%+ of college athletics. So many programs in athletic departments need those games and depend on that money.

But the SEC plays a directional school in November! (ignoring the previous 5 game stretch of LSU, Texas, Georgia, Florida and Auburn).

I still say no. Nebraska always seems to have a higher ceiling — much higher than Iowa. It may be unfair or wrong, but that’s just how I perceive the two programs.

Ignoring Nebraska’s championships and blueblood reign for 50,60 years, just looking at the stadiums and the fan support, it’s like comparing LSU to Ole Miss.

Nebraska just always seems more invested and more of a big time program, right or wrong, than Iowa.

They’ve got Iowa, Indiana, Penn State, Oregon and Ohio State. I trust they’ll have a few losses, but the CFB Committee needs to internally dock them 1 game

For those going to Oxford, remember this

Posted by GentleJackJones on 9/16/26 at 12:19 pm

Ole Miss is the vastly inferior program and school, in every way. They are beneath LSU academically, financially, and, the obvious, athletically.

So, when you go to Oxford and visit the Square and The Grove, be prepared, you’re going to hear it from needle dick Fletcher in a bow tie and Kaylee in a sundress. But remember

quote:
They seem genuinely convinced they're members of some landed Southern aristocracy because they own a blazer, drink bourbon, and once stood near a chandelier. That's what makes Ole Miss arrogance so spectacular. Texas arrogance is backed by money, academics, and championships. Alabama arrogance is backed by the greatest football dynasty the sport has ever seen. Ole Miss arrogance is backed by a bow tie, a tailgate, and a deeply held conviction that putting on loafers magically transforms a Mississippi redneck into a member of the British peerage. They're not even pretending to be athletic royalty anymore. They've skipped directly to pretending they're actual royalty. The Grove isn't Versailles. Oxford isn't the Hamptons. And wearing pastel pants while getting hammered under a tent doesn't make you high society. It makes you a redneck with a dress code.”

“Ole Miss has somehow produced a fanbase with the arrogance of Texas, the regional superiority complex of Alabama, and the athletic trophy case of absolutely neither. Ole Miss fans don't merely think Ole Miss is good. They seem genuinely convinced they're members of some landed Southern aristocracy because they own a blazer, drink bourbon, and once stood near a chandelier.

re: Ole Miss's hatred of Lane Kiffin

I actually appreciate the reasoned, rational response. Obviously, the reasoning will differ for everyone, but for the longest time, I could never get a rational response. Plenty of “he’s a heaux,” “because frick LSU”, and “strdb”, but the legit why was never articulated. I just presumed the obvious — because he was doing well and went to an in conference rival. But, all intents and purposes, Michigan St’s head coach isn’t hanging around if Michigan comes calling. Georgia Tech’s head coach isn’t staying if Alabama wants him. If Notre Dame wanted Purdue’s coach, they’d take him.

Ole Miss's hatred of Lane Kiffin

Posted by GentleJackJones on 9/16/26 at 9:54 am

Can someone rationally explain to me the hatred of Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss?

- Was it the timing (i.e., before the Playoffs)?
- Was it due to not coaching in the Playoffs?
- Was it due to leaving Ole Miss for LSU, arguably Ole Miss's biggest rival?
- Was it due to all the offseason behavior (trying to roster the 3 players)?
