re: They aren’t ‘public schools’, they are government schools

I had always assumed that they were considered "Public" because they are paid for by tax dollars...not because the public actually has any governance over them. This is not new...some people are finally awake enough to smell the coffee.

If LSU is gone...why would their be an "SEC Rant" on Tigerdroppings?
quote:
Why should LSU face any repercussions for falling in line and not rostering the players?
Meanwhile there’s multiple SEC schools with players on their rosters that participated in some capacity with the NFL process
I was talking about if they hadn't backed down.
re: Other SEC fans - you want to expel LSU for breaking no rules and a halftime joke?
Posted by madmaxvol on 9/8/26 at 11:19 am to CatfishJohn
No...you don't expel a team for something like this. Just make them ineligible for the conference championship and/or vacate any SEC wins for the season.

That's good news. I missed when he signed his contract with the Bills. I guess the internet lost that information somewhere.

re: LSU Voted to Prohibit Harris and Wright From Playing in the SEC

Your melt is escalating nicely.
Exactly. These players only declared for the NFL draft. It isn't like they signed contracts to play in the NFL. I mean...except for Dae'Quan Wright did actually sign a contract with the Eagles and was claimed of waivers by the Browns...but still...Zxavian Harris did not sign a contract. Oh...wait...he did sign a contract with the Saints in May. Still, they haven't actually played for an NFL team. They should be eligible, because they never played as pros.
They weren't REAL NFL players like...say Donte' Stallworth. Remember when he declared for the draft on January 10, 2002, but 4 days later he decided he wanted to come back for his Senior season. He was told that because he had submitted paperwork declaring for the draft, he forfeited his remaining year of eligibility. So...back then, just declaring for the draft made you a pro player, but now...signing a contract with an NFL team does not make you one. Makes total sense to me.
re: What are each teams' 2026 floor expectation?
Posted by madmaxvol on 9/4/26 at 8:44 am to AUTiger789

For some reason Vol fans are incapable of understanding that reasonable people have different expectations for Year 1 of a head coach and Year 5 and 6 for a coach.
It's mind boggling.
Reading comprehension is hard...so I'll break it down for you. I was saying that a 7-5 floor is reasonable for Golesh...not solely because of expected improvement in performance, but because Auburn's schedule is significantly easier this year than last year's.
As for Tennessee...7-5 wouldn't be considered "an acceptable year", because this year they haven't lost our starting QB in the transfer portal and added a new one a month after Spring Practice like they did last season.

Tennessee: 7-5
The Vols went 7-5 last season without beating a ranked opponent and they still act like Heupel is the greatest coach since Knute Rockne. Obviously they will put up with this record.
quote:
Auburn: 7-5
A 7-5 season would not create excitement but it would be a nice page-turner from the Harsin/Freeze era... wild give Golesh something to build upon for 2027.
So...Tennessee had a QB that transferred in a Month after Spring practice and went 7-5...so, 7-5 is a reasonable floor this season.
Auburn went 5-7, but their floor is 7-5 because Golesh will use it to build upon for 2027. In reality...their floor should be 7-5 because they have the weakest schedule in the SEC per Phil Steele's 2026 College football strength of schedule rankings.

Sure, the coaching staff changed...but the schedule got (from early comparison to the same time last year) significantly easier.

Possibly...if only there was a way to find out. Maybe they could play each other on the field like they have done every year for the last 31 seasons. Kind of like they are already scheduled to do on November 28th and every November through the 2030 season.

The frankincense and myrrh that Nicodemus gave for Jesus' burial would cost between $150,000 and $200,000 today. The tomb where Jesus resurrected was provided by Joseph of Arimathea.
Low estimates of Joseph of Arimathea's wealth in current value is around $30 Million. High estimates put it in the Billions.
Nicodemus was one of the wealthiest men in Jerusalem.
Just because someone is rich and gives to charitable causes, doesn't mean they are doing it for their own glory, either.

re: “Biggest blowout loss for each current college”
Posted by madmaxvol on 8/19/26 at 8:56 am to GoldenDawg

Georgia has the least worst blowout loss.
There should be an Asterisk beside that one. There were only 5 SEC schools that fielded teams in 1943, and a lot of players were fighting overseas. So, I wouldn't count that team as fully representing UGA.
Georgia's worst blowout loss would probably be their 0-60 loss to USC in 1931, followed by their 0-47 losses to both Vanderbilt and Sewanee in 1901 and then their 0-46 loss to Tennessee in 1936 and their 0-46 loss to Vanderbilt in 1912.
