My guess is Lane will see how far he can go with this Ole Miss team and that may have some bearing on if he believes he can win it all at Ole Miss.

This makes sense if you don't know anything about this team.

This is not the "if it can't be done this year, it can't be done" year.

This is the "oh, wow, you can now make noise at Ole Miss even in a down year" year.

We deliberately kept our NIL powder dry this year to try to make a run again next year once Simmons had some experience under his belt, and then somehow put ourselves on the cusp of making the playoffs without the major investments like we made last year and will make again next year.

Should go to Oxford, with all the drama surrounding Kiffin would make for compelling television.

I heard Kiffin was going to sign his new contract live on GameDay. They're going to borrow Feinbaum from SEC Nation for the day and make him sign as witness.

Rece is going to wear his judge's robe from college football final and serve as notary.

I literally don't know a single Ole Miss fan who is remotely concerned. I don't even think I've seen anyone outside of some idiots on this board floating the idea that it might happen.

It's so not going to happen that I don't even think Lane was trolling with this post. He probably doesn't even know there are people out there saying that he's going to Florida.

It's so not going to happen that Pat Forde had to make up some insane hypothetical where Sark voluntarily leaves Texas for BYU and Lane goes to Texas just to get some Kiffin in the coaching carousel clicks last week.

Literally not even our biggest win of the last 11 months.

This feels like one that gets away from us. Could see it anywhere from a 3 point Ole Miss win to a 3 score loss.

The spread has hedge bet against your team written all over it. I'm inclined to place a large bet on LSU so I'll be happy either way, but I'm terrible at guessing how much money I could lose without it being enough to sour an unlikely win.

Can't tell if he's stupid or just a particularly unentertaining troll.

Could be both, I guess.

Florida is an extremely good team now. I really don't see how we can beat them.

If it does turn out, though, that Ole Miss is actually good enough to beat this Florida team, we should easily lock up the five seed in the playoff. With how good Florida is now, that would be one of the best wins anyone in the country has had all season.

I wonder how much that one series impacted recruiting this week. It's one thing to sell a program that is currently good but sending all its talent to the NFL shortly. It's another to get an opportunity to demonstrate the future they're going to be part of.

And a sonnet for good measure:

Once Tigers ruled, a force of feared renown,
Now stumble meek, their pride laid low and spent.
'Gainst Ole Miss’ might, they falter and fall down,
A once-proud roar, now muted in lament.

Their fans, who boast of triumphs long ago,
Now cling to faded dreams of what once shone.
Yet when defeat arrives, they're first to show
Their fickle hearts, quick to cast every stone.

They sneer and jeer, claim victories not earned,
Pretending still that greatness is their right.
But recent games have shown how far they've turned,
From champions' grace to shadows in the night.

Ole Miss ascends while Tigers mourn their fate,
Their fans reduced to rue and empty prat

I actually agree with this. Will be a huge embarrassment if you guys don't win. Would probably kill any hope of making the playoff.
