re: How will Rebel Bear Shark fans feel if Lane goes to Baton Rouge?

I've never seen such clickbait in a single season because of all these mid-season firings. Let's just say that there is a hella lot of desperation out there among some mighty spoiled fan bases.

Here's the reality: NIL and the portal have changed everything. The teams that were bending or breaking the rules before all that because they could get the best players no longer have an advantage. Although I don't like the fact that a player can transfer without sitting out anymore, it's a fact of life. The X factor will continue to be a great coach, however.
Curly Hallman was an illusion created by Brett Favre at Southern Miss. The perception was that he was responsible for the success while Favre was there. But it was strictly a matter of Favre being NFL QB material. Even so, Southern went 5-6 one of the years he played in Hattiesburg. LSU fell for the illusion. Brian Kelly was not an illusion. He had won at a high profile school but did not turn out to be a good fit in Baton Rouge. Patience doesn't exist anymore in the NIL/portal era, however.

I read that construction will start next year on luxury suites above the press box.
I just rewatched 'The Many Lives of Lane Kiffin.' All the signs point to Kiffin staying at Ole Miss. You can literally see the man growing up in the documentary. Everything else is just clickbait noise.

Do you really think any name coach is gonna want to get in the middle of all this political takeover of sports by committee?

Tenn. already has two losses. I wouldn't put them in that group. The others have either have one loss or are undefeated (A & M).

Really? Have you seen his record at Colorado?
re: Path to the SEC getting 5 playoff teams (Vandy)

The CFP committee needs to live up to what it said it would consider re: SOS and quality wins. If they do so, the SEC will get four teams in: the two who play in Atlanta, and the two with the best records after that. Note that it's possible that one of the teams that gets to Atlanta may actually have a worse record than one left out. The league is that strong.
I see A & M, 'Bama, Georgia and Ole Miss getting in if they all hold serve. Vandy is a possibility if they can beat Texas and Tennessee.

Most competitive I have ever seen the league from top to bottom.
Serious Question

Several pundits/coaches in the know over the years have said that refs could call holding on just about every play if they wanted to. So, lots of holding calls during the Ole Miss/LSU game on both teams. When I watch the replay, I can see the holding sometimes. But other teams, it just seems nitpicky to me.
When you take someone to the ground or hold their jersey for a long time, it's obvious. But there are other times that the refs call holding, and it seems like they could have let it go.
Does holding need to be redefined? It seems there are an awful lot of holding calls that really slow the game down, and I shake my head. Anybody?

re: Why does Alyssa Lang always sound like she's gushing with excitement, very annoying

People's voices can definitely trigger others. Lang doesn't bother me that much. But Joe Tessitore does. I literally have to mute games he calls. He goes way over the top, and it annoys me. Not crazy about Beth Mowens on her calls, either. Anyhoo, I can unmute if something comes up like a penalty or a review.
The same is true of Ole Miss. Counting the first game against Georgia State, of course, they have played five undefeated teams in a row.
My take on all these 'Kiffin is going to ____" threads is that lots of people think Kiffin is a great coach, and they want him to coach at their school. At the same time, these same threads talk about how no one can win at Ole Miss and what a second-rate job it is compared to their school. So, that pretty much makes the first part of their argument crazed.
Lots of panties in a wad over a man they keep saying is a great coach but hasn't accomplished anything at a terrible program.
Kiffin knows what he wants according to all the reports and the ESPN documentary, and it's not to move around anymore because of his family and the complete freedom he has at Ole Miss compared to other schools where major donors throw their weight around. Every season, the same threads about Kiffin. And every year, he stays and his program gets better and better.

Does anyone else detect a BIG bias at the top?
re: SEC Rankings based on Efficiency Metrics

This year, I think there are at least 14 SEC teams that can line up and beat any of the others on a given Saturday. I've never seen the league as deep as it is now.
Texas now has eight SEC games in a row. I think this makes them less likely to get to Atlanta among these other possibilities: 'Bama, Georgia, Oklahoma and Ole Miss. All the other teams have a cupcake or two to relieve the pressure.

They are the only team in the country that is allowed to use noisemakers in the stands legally. They are not supposed to ring them when the opposing team comes up to the line, but they are allowed to ring them before and after. The NCAA agreed to this, but I don't know why their fans aren't required to make noises with their voices like everybody else.
As a sidebar: So, who doesn't like a yellow Lab? They are smart and loyal dogs. From an objective standpoint, I think Ole Miss should consider having a yellow Lab as its mascot from here on. Call it Juice the Rebel. Tennessee, Georgia, Miss. State and A & M all have dogs as mascots.
