From what I can remember, the AP do not think Oklahoma belonged in the championship game. For this reason, they went against the BCS and voted for Southern California. Technically, by contract, Southern Cal did not win the national championship that year, they only won the AP Poll. LSU was the true national championship team.

re: Coach O's health

I had a knee replacement four years ago. It became infected a year later. It was not the fault of anyone as joint placement infections occur in about 1 to 5% of the surgeries. I have had four operations total, however, except for some mild pain, stiffness, informally the knee is finally healed. I hope Coach O makes a full recovery.
The southwest conference disbanded because they turned in each other for cheating with the result that a lot of the southwest conference teams were on probation most of the time. Of course everything they did would be legal today.
JB9 and JD5 had somewhat difficult first years also. The next year they led us to to a national championship.

re: What has Kiffin won as a HC?

It took only six years for him to transform Ole Miss. It will take less time at LSU.
The first amendment only protects the citizen from being persecuted by the government for speaking out, wearing what some would interpret as objectionable clothing, etc. It does not protect in case it’s like this. I think Ole Miss is trying to prevent avoidable violence.
He is not a journalist! He is a small time shock jock that got lucky when that Alabama fan poisoned the trees in Toomer’s Corner.
I really hope LSU is exempted from any monetary settlement. Let the 15 schools split the settlement between them.
God of Layne Kiffin would have recruited him. He has a very strong player evaluation process, and Bryce Underwood may not have scored high enough to recruit. The kid does not seem to have much football IQ!
I think you are comparing him with Burrow and Daniels in their second year at LSU. Remember JD could not pass that well his first year at LSU. He improved greatly his senior year. Burrow developed through the year with his game against Central Florida in the bowl game a prediction for 2019 period

re: LSU completes its roster

Simply because LSU was removing the reason to expel them from the SEC and also to penalize Layne Kiffin. Not hard to understand!
Paul Finebaum was just a local shock jock from Birmingham Alabama, who came to prominence only after the Alabama nutcase poisoned the trees at Toomers corner after the Auburn victory.
I think the SEC is trying to find a way to wiggle out of this with some semblance of respectability. Also the 15 SEC president that voted on the “regulation” are trying to get their collective heads out of their asses.
I think the SEC is going to pay for their actions. LSU doesn’t have to do anything at this point.
I think if we go into Oxford, Mississippi and hang 50 on Ole Miss then the message will have been sent. Ole Miss will probably represent the most hateful environment for the season.
When Kiffin talked to the players, this situation was that they would be held eligible to play. There was no rule broken at the time. The important action was when LSU announced that the players wouldn’t be removed from the roster consistent with the stupidity passed by the 15/16 SEC presidents.
Who cares what that shock jock says!
They would have to show cause for sanctioning LSU. LSU did not do anything to warrant penalties from the SEC.

re: After LSU Pounding Dabo.

Sabin retired for the same reason Clemson has become irrelevant. Management of NIL and the portal takes a totally different approach. Dabo lack the inside to change with the times. Sabin realized that he was superannuated and got out while he was ahead.
Kiffin and the team will not be distracted will not be distracted by all of the hype and noise.

The roster no longer looked as loaded as it did. Louisville’s offensive output was huge!
