Assuming Ole Miss loses to UGA and Bama loses to LSU leaving them all with 2 loses, then Ole Miss would be eliminated by the tiebreaker with 2 conference loses to the others' 1. LSU would then take it over Bama with the head-to-head.

At least that's how I read it. Could be wrong.

Kavanaugh's concurrence isn't the official opinion of the court, but I believe he wrote to signal that student-athletes should press the issue. They weren't the ones who appealed, so the court only ruled on what the 9th Circuit had ruled the NCAA couldn't enforce. As for now, internships and other "education-related" compensation can no longer be regulated by the NCAA. This is likely the first domino to fall in a line of many.

Just flipped over from Auburn v UK. Atmosphere doesn’t even come close. They have students almost right on the court going nuts the whole game. We have old people sitting down and talking on their cell phones.

I know USCe ain’t UK, but come on.

Yes, unless there's a satellite issue, your in-room tv will carry CBS. The sports bar will also have the game.

It seems the conventional wisdom, or should I say "Rant Wisdom" is that on a regular basis LSU, under Miles, doesn't put away easy team and "plays down" to the "rent-a-win" opponents. I was curious to see if this is actually true or just something that gets repeated over and over without any basis in fact. In the previous 5 season (not counting 2015) we've played 12 games that I considered to be rent-a-win games. Here are the results of those games listed by margin of victory.

Sam Houston State: 56-0
ULM: 51-0
Idaho: 63-14
NW State: 49-3
UAB: 56-17
W. Kentucky: 42-9
Furman: 48-16
Kent State: 45-13
ULM: 31-0
N. Texas: 41-14
McNeese ST: 31-10
Towson: 38-22

That's an average score of 39-8. The average win was by 31 points with 56 being the largest margin of victory and 16 points being the smallest. So in 5 seasons only 1 rent-a-win team even came within 3 touchdowns of beating LSU. Sure, a couple of these wins aren't as pretty as they should be, but I'll take consistent wins and more dominate performances than not over what most other fan bases deal with year in and year out.

. People throw this word around a lot. What part of the Constitution is being broken? The NFL, NBA, & MLB are all private organizations made up of private companies. It's not unconstitutional for a private company to establish hiring requirements. The constitution even has age requirements written into the articles for congress and president.

So Mike's the 1% I keep hearing about. If we're not careful, instead of PETA protesting we'll end up with an Occupy Mike's Habitat movement.

She's really hot and loves college football so I never get crap about watching games all day.

Question:

He has Bama shirts. He just refuses to wear them. I know exactly what he would say, cause it's what he says ever time he sees bama stuff (keep in mind he's 5) "eeewww gross, I say Geaux Tigers not Roll Tide."

I've been married to my Bama fan wife for 10 years. We're in AL today with her family for Christmas. There will be people up here all day long and the only other LSU fan I've got is my 5 year old son who, when asked, says "he hates the 'Roll Tide' cause they cheat." Which, of course, thoroughly pisses off his mom. Anyway, if today is anything like Thanksgiving I'll have to hear the same old crap all day about "beating a team twice" and "we really won, we just need a kicker." Pray for me brother, I just may stab one of these Gumps in the eye today.

If I can make it through today, we head to Baton Rouge tomorrow.
