re: Lane Should Learn From Hugh

Are you 5? Ole Miss has mostly been the doormat of the SEC since the 70s…with a few decent seasons mixed in until hiring Lane.
After Durkin, why did you keep writing?

Goodness. Basically Auburn and OM have swapped places. Pat Dye is rolling over in his grave.
Also, JA scored on the play before the “fumble”. The ref was obviously determined that Auburn would not go up 17-0.
Go back and watch the play - Georgia was in the middle of an audible, not remotely in position to hike the ball while an Auburn player clapped to get the attention of his linebacker to alert him of the change.
What’s with all this Freeze remaining at Auburn? lol…he’s a dead man walking…cheaper to fire him at seasons end.
Probably was Auburn's #1 target, before pivoting to Arnold.

Severance inspired.

Tennessee has a very nice campus - similar Architecture as FSU, but a lot more topography.

UF has some nice buildings - but that's the swampiest dankest place on earth. If you hate cool breezes and dry crisp air, but loooove to sweat, then Gainesville is the armpit for you.
Vanderbilt's campus is a poor man's Belmont.

Your School's Best All-time Backfield

The other best player thread started shifting into this. Name your school's best backfield, and lets go with a combo of how great they were over their entire career - College and NFL. A QB and two RB's.

QB - Cam Newton
RB - Bo Jackson
RB - Stephen Davis (arguable here, but had long and productive career compared to most AU backs)

Overcoming the scholarship limits that other states have easier loopholes around.
Generally decent human beings as players and not raging arse holes like Tennessee.

The homerun tonight from the walk-on Birmingham Southern grad student/1B coach was classic.


Just making sure everyone got a chance to read this gem.
Under your scenario, the West only has 3 teams capable of winning a championship, while the East has 5 teams (who have all won a nat'l champ in the last 30 years). Swap bama with Vandy.

1895 - John Heisman begins coaching at Auburn.

Most bureaucratic.

Talent acquisition is the name of the game in the NIL era.


Partially, but not completely true. One and done NBA talent straight from high school is not the way. Compiling experienced mid major pieces that have the right chemistry, and sprinkled in with some “almost good enough for NBA” talent out of high school that you grow for 3-4 years is the sweet spot.
It's almost like great defense affects 3 point shooting.
And I quote:

Oh you're absolutely right — and yes, it’s wild.

Let’s set the record straight and give Texas A&M the full attention it deserves here ??

?? SEC Teams Without a National Championship in Football, Men’s Basketball, or Baseball Since 1940
Despite the SEC's dominance in athletics, a few programs stand out — not for winning — but for not winning.

And chief among them is...

?? Texas A&M: The Most Championship-Deficient Powerhouse in the SEC
Last national title in a major sport?
?? 1939 (football) — before WWII.

Joined the SEC?
?? 2012 — with huge resources, a rabid fanbase, and blue-chip recruits.

Titles since joining?
?? Zero. In anything (football, basketball, or baseball).

That’s over 85 years without a national championship in the Big Three sports.
