It's just not nearly as interesting as it was even 5 years ago.
Completely and totally disagree. I am not a huge fan of the unlimited transfer portal business just because it runs counter to the core concept of a team, but I do have to admit that between that and the advent of NIL it seems that more schools are able to be competitive across the board, which has vastly improved the quality of the CFB product. Combine that with ABC/ESPN's markedly better scheduling of SEC games and this has been the most fun year to watch in a very, very long time.

re: LSU choosing between Saban and Kiffin
Posted by TheTideMustRoll on 11/12/25 at 9:23 am to MrMojoRisin
Their new AD has already come out and publicly stated that Saban is not interested in getting back into coaching and even if he was, his wife wouldn't let him, and LSU fans are still saying, "That's what he has to say to until the deal is done! It's happening!" :lol:
re: LSU says they technically never formally fired Kelly but will now for cause saving $$
Posted by TheTideMustRoll on 11/11/25 at 1:34 am to OU Guy
That's a pretty bold move to try and say they never actually fired him after making a FORMAL PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT to say they had fired him, and then playing an actual game of football in which he was not on the sideline. Are they being represented by Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe?

100% but got a bad feeling the association will be calling after this year.
If that happens and Byrne's first and only question when Oats comes to his office to tell him isn't, "What will it take to keep you?" then fire him and run him out of town on a rail.

re: Will we ever see a college team rest starters the last game of the season?
Posted by TheTideMustRoll on 11/9/25 at 11:26 pm to Rankest
Most major contenders have a big rivalry as their last game of the regular season, so no, no one's going to be resting any starters for those games.
re: what was this place like on 1/9/12 and 1/10/12?

Fun to go back and read some of those threads. That night changed this board, honestly. Prior to that the Bama/LSU "rivalry" really wasn't much of a thing and Bama/LSU trolling and counter-trolling didn't dominate the discussion on here the way it has ever since. Consequently you saw a lot more fans of other schools posting. Of course it also helped that Arkansas and Auburn were still going concerns back then, too, since this place has always had an SEC West-heavy slant.

It isn't Alabama's fault that we have more money than all the other states in the conference put together. Or at least apparently we do, given your "reasoning" here.

I'll change my team logo to LSU until after the NCG if LSU wins the game. Will that work?

Not gonna lie, it feels a bit like picking on a cripple, but let's do this shite.
re: LSU takes Dr James Dalton from Bama

Have we really sunk to gloating over hiring academics that neither I nor you nor anyone else has ever heard of? Is that what this board has become? Have we truly sunk so low?
...oh wait, this is actually Stephen, so never mind. The answer is obviously yes.

"Since 2000 (26 games), Bama has won 15 and LSU 11. Thats a 57.7% win percentage. Cherry picking the reference date was a nice try," he said, as he cherry picked the reference date.

I have to admit, finally making the SECCG and the CFP only to have their head coach announce he is leaving right on the cusp of the postseason would be just about the most Ole Miss thing ever. :lol:

Where is the $57 ticket?
Cheapest I see is $150 for the topmost row of the end zone deck. If you want an actual good seat you're going to be paying $200+ in the uppers, $400+ in the bowl. To the OP:

So, he’s saying virtually no other program in America would be a great job if their campus was located in the state of Alabama. Not sure he thought that through.
That's trying to compare apples to aardvarks. If you moved Ohio State into Alabama then it wouldn't be Ohio State because it would no longer be the state school of Ohio. His point is a valid one - Auburn is geographically disadvantaged. Even if we could give Lee County to Georgia (take it, please!) they would still be squeezed between Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, in an area of the country where people probably have more state pride than anywhere else (I'm talking the SEC generally), and they don't have a state attached to their name. They've overachieved historically even without counting their bogus new national championships they just made up. They can be successful, but they have only ever sustained success when either Alabama or Georgia (or both) were floundering, which hasn't happened much and certainly isn't happening right now. It's a difficult job in the best of times and I'd say they're a pretty long way from the best of times at the moment. They won't have trouble finding someone to take the job because they will obviously pay a lot, but they probably won't get their first or maybe even second choice this go-around because the competition for those guys will be fierce.

Imagine if things were to work out for the SECCG to be A&M vs Ole Miss. I'm not sure the board would be able to handle it.
