5 picks that game btw. If the average point return for INTs is 4-6 it would mean that all of our points in that game should be credited to the defense. "We can run the ball" :spank:
Actually not opposed to this IF they simultaneously rule that you cannot play if you 1. have ever signed an NFL contract or declared for the draft, and/or 2. have already exhausted your 5 years of eligibility.

This fixes the NFL issue and fixes the issue of players like Chambliss and Johnson who are ineligible per the 5 for 5 ruling from playing as well.
If these players got a TRO against the NCAA it seems exceptionally fair to assume that they can get them against the conferences as well. The whole idea is that these guys were owed the 5th season of eligibility within the 5th year of their enrollment (who did not forego their eligibility early).

If the courts already ruled in their favor, it seems they would just do so again.
in theory, if the NCAA/SEC's stance is that they already exhausted their eligibility then it would be a bad look to say they can only play at the school that they were initially at. That would make them backtrack on their own exhausted eligibility stance. Furthermore, if the SEC rules that they either have to return to their previous program or transfer out of conference, and then they transfer out of conference... the SEC would then be directly responsible for improving the roster of a school in another conference. Looks to me that they're best move is to express their disagreement and frustration and then let the courts play it out, but if the conference office meddles in this there's no way they come out looking like the moral hero... which truly is the only reason they'd involve themselves to begin with.


Again, I don't like it. But the NCAA screwed this up and CLK is putting himself in the best position to win with the circumstances the NCAA created. As is Sark, as is Ryan Day, and frankly as is Golding.
I don't like any of it but from a 30,000 ft view it sure seems a lot worse to me that there are guys still playing in their 6th and 7th years playing AFTER the 5 for 5 got implemented than it is for guys to be given their 5th year that all other players now get.

I'm with you that I don't like any of it, but I fail to understand how this is somehow worse than Chambliss getting another year or Max Johnson damn near earning a pension with the NCAA. If this is the way it's gonna be, we may as well be the best at it. :geauxtigers:

Can you imagine the melt in Oxford :usa:
It's getting pretty wild but I fully intend to enjoy it while we can. I've tried to be realistic and settled on 9-3 because of the difficulty of our schedule but man... there's really no excuse for this roster to miss the playoff at this point.
Oh it's certainly broken... but if it's already broken we may as well pick up the pieces and go win baw :cheers:

I don't know much about him but the ND sites seemed to be excited about the possibility of him coming back. Can't imagine they saw this coming
It's their tradition to wear Orange vs EA. Only game of the year that they wear orange I believe

re: Lane Kiffin system vs players

It's so ridiculous. Chambliss is a great player who excelled at the D2 level and then had tons of success at Ole Miss. Why people are incapable of acknowledging that 2 things can be true is beyond me.

I mean Blake Sims was a converted WR who threw for 3500 yards and 28 TDs in 2014, Alabama won the natty with Jake Coker in 2015 under Lane, Chris Robison at FAU threw for 3700 and 28, Matt Corral threw for 6700 and 49 between 2020-21... Notably, the above listed QBs have a COMBINED stat line in the NFL of straight 0s.

No one can tell me that combining any level of talent with THAT coaching is meaningless. Yes, Chambliss is a stud. Yes, you have to be an absolute bumbling idiot to think that Lane had nothing to do with his success.

The most mind boggling thing about this is that he could actually move. He was the 4x100 anchor for his high school track team. Was always so strange to me that he couldn't get on the field.

22 Bama was incredible, 24 Ole Miss was electric. Even the first half of the TAMU game last year was awesome. Obviously, the stadium cleared out pretty quick when the train went off the tracks but that place was alive in the first half and we took a lead into halftime. The fanbase and that stadium are begging for a reason to be what they can be and I think you get it this year with all of Clemson, TAMU, Bama, and Texas coming.

I thought the same thing. Pretty embarrassing in all honesty and could have been much worse of an injury than it was. But also, pretty incredible that he gutted out the SC game with a broken ankle.

Between him and PJ Woodland should have the entire fanbase excited.


Could not agree more. Woodland has been one of my favorite players the last couple of years. He's been over looked by local and national media because of names like Delane and Pickett but he's such a difference maker. His picks come from man coverage and he's always in phase on tape, he plays through blocks with his hands on the perimeter, he's twitchy in his zone breaks towards underneath routes causing several PBUs, and the dude can blitz effectively from the corner position. I'm not saying he's the best DB we've had, hell he may not be the best DB we have currently with Pickett on the other side... but that dude would be the best DB on the field for a lot of football teams, and he's damn fun to watch

Whit’s football IQ

In his interview with Moscona, Whit mentioned how he's been working on understanding offensive passing schemes better this offseason. Says he's looking for 3 picks and focusing on taking away reads 1 and 2 rather than squatting on reads 3 and 4 like years past.

This type of stuff fires me up. He was already a dude based on sheer ability and instinct, but the attention to detail of knowing the opposing QBs read progression pre snap based on personnel and alignment is really promising. If this is the level at which we develop players moving forward then it ought to be a really fun several years.

Similar outcome would be cool
HUGE misconception here man we scored 35+ in 11 games and 40+ in 9 games including against #3 Oregon, #16 WVU, #17 Florida, #20 Auburn, #3 Arkansas, and #16 Georgia. Bama was our kryptonite that year and we beat the dog shite out of every other team we played.
I think the reality is that the schedule is brutal but 3 of the 5 question mark games are at least at home.

You have:
@ Ole Miss (game 3)
vs TAMU (game 4)
vs Bama (game 9)
vs Texas (game 10)
@ Tennessee (game 11)

If you can find a way to win 3 of those, I'd think you're in. If you only win 2 of those you COULD be in but it would entirely depend on where the losses were on the schedule. In theory, Tenn should be a W but it's on the road right after Bama and Texas. Brutal
Yes. The star rating system is a predictor of NFL success. 5 stars are more likely to play in the league than 4 stars and so on and so forth. I'm sure the height is the limiting factor as it relates to predictable NFL success, but rest assured he's going to be an absolute animal in college.
