All the advantages that people tout for LSU over other programs have largely disappeared in the NIL era.

I would say NIL has diminished the advantages to an extent, but not wiped them out. I agree in principle, though.

Ole Miss has shown it can raise the money to buy players in the portal and Kiffin can recruit high school players at a level that is good enough. Ole Miss doesn't have the expectations LSU or Florida does, so if he competes for a playoff slot regularly, he'll never be fired. Couple that with an eight figure comp package and living in Oxford, which is arguably a better quality of life than Baton Rouge or Gainesville and I don't see why he'd leave.

I think this part -- that Ole Miss can raise enough funds to build playoff teams -- combined with the Velvet Ditch argument where he can just be a god there for the rest of his career and deal with far less drama is the more compelling argument to stay.

When all the smoke started, I assumed he'd sign his extension and stay. But it's clear that he's seriously considering leaving. He may just be the type that loves the bright lights, and Gville and BR are much bigger platforms & stadiums where he would have a higher ceiling. Who knows.

I don’t think that’s true…

But if it was, that ultimatum would make a certain type of person wait until 15 minutes past the deadline, even if they intended to sign all along.

LK seems like that kind of person.

Will be interesting to see play out.

Nah. I default to my Geaux Tigahs! Setting on Saturdays in November.

Let’s just forget about the rest of the saga for a few hours and hope the boys steal a win.

Also: F*ck Arky. Been to enough games up there to hate those inbred jackasses. Would love to hang an ugly L on them.

Excellent verb. But sounds gross. :lol:

Would be a match made in heaven. The Heartbreak Hogs deserve that goober.

Phillytiger is Kaiser Soze. He may surface just one or two more times.

Then? He's gone. :lol:

Tigerland was a great place to be in the mid 90s. Cheap rent. Pretty safe. Shitty but fun bars where you could reliably get hammered for $20-30. Good food options: AM Mart, Rotolo's, Cory's, Silvermoon closeby.

It wasn't always a crime infested shithole. It was actually pretty nice.

There's always been a lot of crime around campus. At least back into the 80 thru mid-90s. The campus is just too close to low income areas past the northgate.

But I will say that the crime has spread south over the years. The Siegen area is a good example. Was a nice area thru the early 00s.

Glad you came back, baw. Appreciate the update. Been nothing but doom and gloom around here!
