Seriously? 8.5 to 9.

I can see he has a plan. But I don’t have any idea how it’s going to play out.

This was debated back when that “old” button first came out. It was eventually deemed incorrect and should be Ole Miss.

Indeed, the 2-foot thick Old English Dictionary says most uses of this term should be Ol’.

The OED makes exception for two uses — Grand Ole Opry and Ole Miss.

True story: I was the football writer for The Reveille in 1973 and wrote the 10+7+ … headline and game story. It did not run in The Advocate.

But I did get a shout out for it in the briefs section of Sports Illustrated.

Thank you for remembering.

And … Argentina is doing some saber-rattling of their own. They want the Falkland Islands back. 2027 should interesting for the UK.

This is by no means a call for LClark to play over Sam. But I am encouraged by the poise and performance of our Elon transfer.

I had heard a lot of praise from different sources about him during the summer.

Nice to have someone who doesn’t send us into panic if Sam has to come out for a bit.

Another key figure in all this is the champion of the sports bill — Nick Saban. All this SEC stuff is jeopardizing Nick’s baby. Plus Nick would like to be Sankey’s replacement AND is Kiff’s mentor. Sankey has pissed off a deep sea of power.

Like one insider told me today, Sankey really is an ok guy in person but also has a high opinion of himself and always thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. Evidence of this was his attitude in district court.

I was at first flabbergasted by the length of your OP. Then after reading all the negative posts by apparently anti-LSU types, I figured I might be missing out on some solid background.

Thanks anti-LSU posters, y’all forced me to read an extraordinarily fine dissertation on the merits and machinations of this chaos.

Somethingdifferent truly gave us something different to absorb and ponder.

Do yourselves a favor and force yourselves through it.

Sankey and some roguish presidents have the SEC embroiled in a fine kettle of fish.

If y’all thing this chaos has gotten ugly, just wait.

I’m definitely flagging this OP.

(By the way, OP, I am a retired newspaper editor and your piece very well written and transitionally well done.)

… to bash LSU and whine about everything that chaps your arse at the moment?

Chicken will disband the SEC Rant. Maybe rename it the ACC Rant or something else.

And, I’d like to add, LSU knows where all the skeletons are buried — hold onto your butts Bama, Ole Miss, Florida, A&M, et al.

Clemson was No. 26!!

Wisconsin in all red, Irish in all blue. Looks odd, not sure it works for iconic teams.
