I was planning on it, but decided to postpone the Oxford trip until I can take my son to see the city and family since we haven’t been able to make it back in a few years. It‘s going to be a madhouse and I’m afraid if we go, it’ll literally just be in and out to see the game while costing an arm and a leg. Instead, we’re going to make the NOLA trip, assuming we don’t choke…

Shocking as it might sound, I am now banned from the CFB sub for the tenth time this year.

I’m not agreeing with everything OP said, and I’m trying to look at this objectively. Looking at Oregon’s schedule, which of their games are equivalent to the “bad” SEC teams such as AR, LSU, SC, FL, State, etc.? Many of those bad teams are a few plays away from being 1-2 loss SEC teams. They’re also considered bad because they got beat by in-conference teams ranked #3, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc., all season. The talent differential on an LSU or FL compared to anyone on Oregon’s “bad” conference team opponents is massive. Sure, those SEC teams may not be great or title contenders, but to consistently beat them all season without one or two of them sneaking up on you is much more difficult than making sure you don’t slip up against a Wisconsin, Oregon State, Rutgers, etc.

Nope, don’t care at all. Atlanta in November is totally overrated.

Don’t disagree, just posting what I found. I thought he’d be a solid option for us.

I’m not sure how that’s relevant to the statement that we A) have a lot of talent in-state and B) should try to lock them down vs just going full portal. We’re not debating that it’s harder to hold them vs a place like Louisiana, just that they are here and we should make a strong effort to get them.

I asked Grok earlier about NFL talent per capita and Mississippi currently ranks #3 with active NFL players and going back to the leagues inception we’re ranked #1 by a decent margin. Yes the portal has proven to work and it’s hard to keep kids at one place more than a year, but I’d really like to try and lock down the in-state talent for a number of reasons.

A normal person would want this to get buried as you look like a clown, but by all means keep bumping it.

Romaro Miller commented on this yesterday from a QB’s perspective. He said no QB wants a new play caller coming in, especially for something as big as the playoffs. I hate it as much as you do, but the continuity will give us the best shot at rolling deep.

Side note, every time I see Ro’s name I can still hear it being called over the speakers like it was yesterday. “RO-MARE-OH Miller with the pass. FIRST DOWN….Ooooole Miss”.

LSU fans are super insecure today and I truly think they’re starting to question the move. They’re not thinking rationally and responding to every single post even remotely LSU related like highly emotional women. I’ve said some of the wildest shite this morning and they’re buying it hook, line, and sinker.
