Europe should rearm and pay their fair share. I agree. But this is about us controlling an area strategic to our economic interests. You don't cede territories and nations any more than you allow yourself to be diluted in an equity position, unless forced.

They're a threat to our economic interests which is a major reason to the formation of the post WW2 order in Europe. It's all about economics and our sphere of interest and control. Even Reagan understood that.

Ukraine is not, and never has been, a member of NATO. If Europe wants to fight Russia they should create a separate alliance and include Ukraine.
I never said it was. But you do realize that's part of what the fight is about, correct?

Piss on anyone who tries to entangle us in a foreign conflict. Ukraine should seek terms, they are butchering a generation over a war that they can only lose. It’s funny how you libs are all secretly the most blood thirsty people on the planet. Millions dead or mutilated and you still want more.
I'd recommend you go back and study post WW2 Europe, our role in its security and why NATO matters.

Technically, it's not considered downtown Knoxville. It sits between downtown and Sequoia Hills next to a neighborhood called The Fort. Really it's own unique area.

One of the biggest brands in college sports.
This is a huge deal that plays heavily into HS recruiting. LSU produces a lot of big name stars in multiple sports. Ole Miss? Outside of Eli, not so much.
re: OM retaining the entire staff for the Playoffs is very telling….
Posted by Beau Fontenot on 11/30/25 at 5:06 pm to themetalreb
My understanding is Weiss is coming with him and so is Kevin Smith. Also heard that he will retain some of the LSU defensive staff including Blake Baker. Frank Wilson on the offensive staff could be retained.

Not a morally upstanding program? Whatever. Where does that exist in college football outside of the academies?
But I'll say this about morals. People in Louisiana saved my life. Literally. And LSU is one of my largest and most loyal clients. It's meant a lot to my family.
Take your sanctimonious drivel somewhere else.

Apparently, he felt like the only way he could get Ole Miss to that level was via the portal. Whereas at LSU he won't have to rely as much on the portal to maintain a level of excellence.
re: The fallout from the Kiffin drama will be this...

Liquidated damages for breach could limit future behavior. If the damages are so punitive they limit your ability to accept future employment it could be viewed the same as a non-compete. You are effectively eliminated from working for another employer due to the excessive penalty for leaving your current employer. That may be seen as unreasonable.
Plus, I don't believe a coach would ever agree to a contract that has excessive liquidated damages. There are so few really great coaches. They hold the hammer.

They already exist in coaches contracts. All we are talking about is increasing the about of the buyouts.
But if you make it so large is retrains a person's ability to take a new job, it's going to face a serious court challenge. Non-competes also existed, but people started challenging them and winning in court.

I'm not sure that would survive a legal challenge. A judge might view that in a similar light as a non-compete clauses which have consistently failed court challenges.
re: Rank SEC Coaching Jobs

Alabama is still the gold standard in the SEC.
I think LSU has really hurt its branding with this recent fiasco. It will come back, but right now, it doesn't look as appealing as it once did.
Ole Miss looks a lot better than it used to look. I'd say it's definitely in the top ten SEC jobs.
Arkansas looks worse than Vanderbilt. In fact, I'd rank Vandy ahead of SC, Auburn, Missouri, Kentucky or Miss State.
OU is still an elite job. Top ten in the country.

What about their legendary steroid use?
Definitely was used by some of the guys in the early 80's. You could go into just about any Gold's gym and guys were shooting up in the gym, and there were often college players working out with them in the off season. I was in there and saw them. One guy I remember benched 600 pounds with one leg in a cast. He died young.
But Obsorne started random testing in 1984. He caught one guy the next year.
re: USC and Michigan may leave the Big Ten.

The part about USC and Michigan being opposed to the inevitable dilution caused by private equity is 100% correct. And they're smart to oppose it.
