I’m pretty conservative and in favor of heavy sentencing for repeat offenders, but I will never agree to the premise that it’s ok to murder inmates and treat them like animals “because they deserve it”.


Heavy sentences is fine for repeat offenders and those that have committed heinous crimes.

Solitary confinement for speaking out against a guard outright committing murder and having to live among rats (he caught 11 in one night in water bottles) is not ok.

The amount of drugs flowing through prisons is not ok.

The vast majority of prisons do not even attempt to rehabilitate prisoners. Because there’s no money in that. Our prison system thrives on repeat offenders. It’s a backwards system.

Doctors are not getting rich off of this. Payors have seen record profits, though. Repeatedly. I’m talking shattering records.

Either indirecty or directly the answer is yes.


Please elaborate? I work in the industry so am curious how others view this.
I would be worried that if my home burned down I would have no way to get a new home.

From a commercial standpoint, businesses would be still be sued. Without liability insurance, plaintiff bar would go after personal assets.

Inmates bitching that prison sucks for a couple hours. Sounds great. I tried to watch some but it was awful.


It’s far more than that. Guards are outright murdering people and getting away with it because ADOC covers it up, and because people view prisoners as subhuman.

Correct

Lane built your program with subpar players. Imagine what he will do with a program that actually invests in its program

But I am happy you guys locked in your big coach that no one else was even considering. Congrats on locking him down before MTSU or FAU made a run at him

You have really been struggling with this.


Brother we raided your program to steal your head coach and entire offensive staff in the midst of your greatest run in the modern era of football.

LSU fans are not struggling. We are laughing at you. Even when you are title contenders, you are still a stepping stone program. That has to fricking sting.

Nope. It's simple regime change.

I suggest studying history.

There will no doubt be pushback from insurgents and we will have to respond.

Regime changes are never swift. Ask virtually any Indochinese country how regime changes panned out for them. Particularly with US involvement. It’s messy.
Hopefully this isn’t for long as there’s plenty of work to do right here in the United States.
It’s called coping, let them have that

Everyone knows Lane built this roster and staff

I was there in 2022 for Saints Bengals and it looked so good

Soak it up, I know this is all bitter sweet

tDecline is imminent
All of this is public information

Each of the coaches leaving OM for LSU would owe LSU 300% of their salary if they leave before March 2026.

For Weiss alone, that’s 7.5M, all because he signed a contract before their season was over. This of course doesn’t cover the other coaches nor does it cover the cost to now fire their replacements.

Your original response of “frick it and stay at Ole Miss” like it’s actually up to them is simply not based in reality.
Hugh.

Kiffin did not breach his contract. He was bought out of it.

If you are implying that Ole Miss would buyout these coaches weeks after they signed a new contract, to the tune of millions of dollars, when they already have their replacements who are also under contract with Ole Miss, that they would also owe millions of dollars, then idk what to tell you.

Seriously man. I get wanting to zing people on the SEC rant, but you are making yourself look like an idiot.
Jesus Christ, Hugh

I’m trying to be nicer in the new year so I’ll say it plainly

If the current Ole Miss coaches, who are contractually obligated to coach at LSU, decide to say “ frick yourself and stay at Ole Miss” LSU will enforce their contract through litigation.

Meaning they will sue them for breach of contract.

I hope this clears things up for you.
Are you dumb or stupid?

That’s not how it works. LSU would not cancel their contract. They’d enforce it through litigation.

You could make the demand. I expect some would say to go frick yourself and stay at Ole Miss.


They are under contract at LSU and Ole Miss has hired their replacements.
I think he would feel like an idiot if Ole Miss manages to make the final.

But last night’s game was actually good for LSU. The offense looked really good, and we are of course taking most of that offensive staff.
Ole Miss looked good!

I’m pretty excited to get your offensive staff and several players
