Kiffin at presser today, nothing he said was wrong:
quote:

We have you know made a decision to recruit some kids around the country, and through these multiple injunctions around the country, which, this is not a first time in college sports, a group of players were granted a fifth year of eligibility, in multiple sports. And through them winning their injunction and entry into the portal, they’re available to recruit.

So ourselves, like many places around the country, are recruiting them. At the end of the day, you know, because of these rulings, they’re either going to play for you or they’re going to play somewhere else around the country. So, we made a decision to recruit them, like probably most people are.

Fox News story, one of the first media outlets I've seen that's defending Kiffin and LSU with this:

Exactly, don’t hate the player. Hate the game. And the folks hating on Kiffin should be thanking him because he’s exposing how f’d up the entire system is currently.

Monte RIP was an innovator.

I’d expect nothing less of Lane.

Like it or not, he’s changing the landscape of college football as we know it.

Boot Up

The outrage is so disingenuous. As if it takes LSU capitalizing on your shite policies to understand they were already shite in the first place.

If Chambliss can get 7 why can’t others get the 5 that were given with no constraints defined or attached? Play on playa.

Not all coaches sons do very well, but my two favorite teams have two of the best.

He's correct. Again, the NCAA fricked this up.

People need to get used to this. Anything and everything Kiffin does will be scrutinized. Always has been this way.


He could cure cancer and he’d still get criticized by someone for it.
