Is that the leftover carpet from before the Astrodome imploded?

Ha! Mentioned that to someone yest- both tx & kn have fields that look like 70s astrodome. Man- hate seeing that, like I’m watching a damn travel ball game

It was their best game on paper and they sent their best team. Had the least competition at that time slot. Didn't want to go head to head with their best game vs. MLB and Stanley Cup Finals.

True - and very valid point - and a sound biz decision - but that don’t make it right!!!! Obviously I’m a little biased in my viewing pref

Hasn’t been murderers row for us in the post season so far. However you still gotta get it done. One more to Omaha

Can’t really put my finger on it - and have to admit don’t know much about y’all’s team - other than the success this year - but there is something that makes me feel like bama might be waiting in the shadows to do some damage in Omaha ( expecting all goes as planned today). Don’t know - just seems like they have been quietly moving through post season -

First crime by the NCAA is aligning State with UGA. Second by NCAA/ESPN is putting them in morning games. They had to know these two would be the best matchup. Would’ve been a great watch on Saturday/Sunday nights!

No kidding - I’m an lsu fan so naturally believe there is a conspiracy against us by both espn and ncaa - and my paranoia extends to the sec in some cases. We have two supers as all sec match ups - I’m telling you - they plotted that shite out on purpose!!! those bastards try to make us canabilize ourselves!!!!

If I choke down my hate ( and disappointment on season) sure will be something to possibly see 5 sec teams in Omaha.

I like picking on Aggies as much as anything - but feel like after that last game in Tiger Stadium we should sit this one out for a bit

This is a valid point. Unintentionally - I don’t think Kiffin would have treated it like some situation like some mail in bowl game - I believe he would have made every effort to do all he could to coach the team as he had all season - but even with those intentions - would have been plenty of slippage, and have to think def would affect their play.

Look - I hate ole miss more than any other school in SEC, in the U.S. - in the galaxy- but I honestly cannot blame them for not allowing him to coach the playoffs.
Take away any emotional baring on it, any talk of going to a rival and all of that from an operational standpoint - I would figure operationally just too much distraction, risk, etc.

Yeah - I think you are right, - seems like maybe if you have two sec teams on cusp of national seed battling it out - it has a little influence

But almost like they expect or accept there is always a good chance none of your potential national seeds will even be in the ch game.

They’re a hypocritical bunch, aren’t they?

Ahhh- bit of a diff - Saban left us for the nfl - after winning a NC, which as a side note - won said nc the same year as the ole miss co west champs banner that is so proudly displayed.

It’s this generation- helicopter parents - buying huts in kids college town.

See we just go section 8 housing here in LA- plus not Californians moving here.

Another win for us!!

There's really no shame on losing to a Top 8 national seed 3-1...

You see Johnson’s pregame interview? Was basically asked about how he felt about game- and he more or less said season hangs on beating the team he picked at bg of season to win NC - talking about Auburn of course. Then explained his reasoning - only team that swept us, young team last year that returned many of same, obviously good and so on.
