re: Pete Golding

There is this: Kiffin could not hold on to beat Georgia during the regular season last year. Golding did in the Sugar Bowl. Over the summer, I did say that LSU may have hired the wrong coach.

So, who's taking N. C. State this week?

So, would someone tell me: what happened to Oklahoma's offense?

Yes, the crowd showed restraint in staying in their seats and celebrating. It was Bear Bryant who said, "Act like you've been there before."

Announced attendance was 70,000+. That's what the Superdome attracts when the Saints are good. So Superdome=high school stadium.
There's no reason to drop Ole Miss for winning aTop Twenty-five matchup. It was the only one this weekend. Louisville had won three straight nine-win seasons, and Jeff Brohm is a well-respected coach. All sixteen SEC teams won their openers, but except for Auburn versus Baylor and LSU versus Clemson, the matchups were SEC versus Cupcake U.
Both LSU and Ole Miss should be 2-0 on Sept. 19th, and whoever wins that game will settle any arguments about who should outrank the other. That said, it's clear that Louisville is a much better team than Clemson is.

UGA and Ole Miss are tied at 23-6 for the most wins in football over the past two years. Golding has the best playoff record of any coach in the country right now in the 12-team playoff--2-1. Smart hasn't faired so well.

There's a rumor going around in some circles that LSU may have gone after the wrong coach. Think about it.

Seems I got some bad info when I googled about SEC teams in regionals and Supers. Should have posted that Oklahoma was the only SEC team that lost a game during the regionals and Supers. The rest were undefeated.
At any rate, there will be at least one SEC team in the finals, and there could be two, guaranteeing the seventh straight SEC CWS champion.

I note that UGA and Texas did not play during the regular season. I'm picking Texas to outlast UGA in that first game. Schwab Field is much larger than Foley Field where Georgia plays, and the homers come a lot easier.
You just did. Sorry.

I corrected my post above. Both Ole Miss and UGA went undefeated in the regionals and Supers.

Ole Miss and Georgia are the only teams in the CWS that are undefeated in post-season. 5-0. No one picked Ole Miss to win the Lincoln Regional or the Auburn Super. They're not favored to beat UNC. Everyone talks about Troy being the hot team. But they lost twice in the regionals and Supers. Sometimes, it's better to be undervalued than hyped.

Won't four SEC teams be on one side of the bracket? And only one SEC team on the other? Anyone?
re: Is UCLA the most overrated overall 1 seed in college playoff history....
Posted by ht1950 on 6/1/26 at 11:23 am to koreandawg
UCLA's ball park is a disgrace to Jackie Robinson.
68,000 + was the attendance at the Ole Miss-Tulane CFP game, according to the records. That's actually about what most NFL stadiums seat. Between 60 and 70,000.
Some college and pro teams have changed their mascots and names in the past twenty to thirty years. There is much greater awareness of what's appropriate and what's not in a more inclusive society. The Ole Miss Administration banned the Confederate Flag and Dixie and Colonel Reb as a result.
Fact: Georgia once waved the Confederate Flag and dropped it somewhat earlier than Ole Miss did. Then, adopted Glory Hallelujah as its song.
Stanford ditched the Indians and became The Cardinal.
Arkansas State ditched the Indians and became The Red Wolves.
The Washington Redskins are now the Commanders. There are other examples around the country. BTW, Florida State got permission from the Seminole Tribe to use their name as a mascot.
These switches have been made in the post-Civil rights Era. Do not pretend that in the '30's, 40's, 50's and part of the '60's, many people didn't give these associations a second thought. Now, they do.
But the point is, all of that is in the past. The changes were made for the better. And talented black athletes everywhere have the access they need. In the age of NIL and the portal, the game has changed to the point that athletes are free agents and no one is dredging up the sociology of the pre-civil rights era. Except the disingenuous Lane Kiffin.

Football Integration Time Line--For The Record
Posted by ht1950 on 5/13/26 at 3:11 pm
With all this civil rights consciousness rhetoric that Kiffin is preaching now through a fashion magazine, I thought it might be helpful to list just when it was when some of the SEC schools actually tackled integration. Because they all practiced segregation at one time; and to act as if that is still a problem and factor in recruiting, is just a bunch of hooey. Here's when various schools first signed and played black athletes. Almost sixty years have passed since that door was opened:
1967--Kentucky
1968--Tennessee
1969--Miss. State
1970--Vandy
1971--Alabama, Ole Miss, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU
All of these schools and their rosters have been diverse for long decades now. Kiffin's remarks are like saying that polio is still a huge health problem.

These are the Top Four attendance figures for a single baseball game at the four largest SEC ball parks:
Miss. State--16,423
LSU--13, 376
Ole Miss--12,563
Arkansas--12,167
Those are SRO figures.
