Sheriff Brackett

The way it was marketed made it seem like a deeper-dive into him and his story and him coming to Baton Rouge, which I was kind of excited for.

I guess I shouldn't have expected much since it was Vanity Fair, but I had already read and seen 98% of what was written multiple times in ESPN, The Athletic, etc.

Only real items of note were at the very end when he said that the Confederacy symbols were a problem with recruiting at Ole Miss, and LSU is essentially the hotter girlfriend with adult money, but we already knew the latter.

Other than that, it was a white liberal magazine writer's piece on how black athletes are only making millions of dollars instead of tens of millions in college football, and that we need to diversify areas that have too many white people.

But I am sure the mainstream media members like Rece Davis, Pat Forde and McAfee will be clutching their pearls, screaming "Why would anyone want to go and coach at this circus when the governor is getting involved?!?!?" with multiple think pieces like there was with us after BK was let go.

Guess you didn't get the sarcasm. Don't think we'll hear a peep from them about this.

This QB draft class is very weak outside of Mendoza.

I have been very critical of Nuss especially how he has performed in big games, but he is easily the third best QB by a mile when the other options are Drew Allar, Taylen Green, Carson Beck, etc.

Maybe not for Kiffin, even though I think LSU handled that entire situation masterfully. You didn't hear a peep from our side and anything that was getting out was coming from Ole Miss's side.

There wasn't some huge lead up from the media about it for this coaching search. Mostly just speculation on sites like this and podcasts, but pretty air tight for the most part.

Really didn't hear about how we actually courting him from the media until Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.

A big part of that is we never actually fired McMahon until we had Wade in the bag. Then we pulled the trigger.

The rebuild ain't going to be with the current regime that's demanding it I can promise you that.

I'm not hating on anything. Don't know why you're acting like a dick.

Football is 1 and Baseball is 2 and Basketball is 3 in the pecking order at this current juncture. That doesn't mean that we can't be good in all three.

I don't think anyone on this board or in the administration thought at the start of the 25-26 academic calendar, that we would fire our head football coach.

Given the amount of money we are spending to buyout Kelly and his staff, while bringing in Kiffin, his staff and allocating NIL funds his way, I don't know if there is an appetite to buy out McMahon, but that is strictly speculation.

If we didn't fire Kelly, I think we would have already pulled the trigger on firing McMahon.

It's not my money, but I hope they get rid of McMahon because I would like to be good in all three sports.

All I am saying is that baseball has a much more storied and passionate following here. And if baseball had gotten to a point where the basketball program is now, they would have already gotten rid of the coach regardless of the buyout.

Yeah, I don't know enough about it to have an informed opinion. Based on what local media is saying, it is a factor, but I don't know if that's even true or how much they actually know.

How does Iran have any capability to dictate terms regarding Hormuz? Especially since we destroyed their naval capacity.

This is a site where people come to bitch, so you must be in the wrong place if you're looking for different material.

Nice change of pace to have something different to talk about as opposed to people bashing MBB and baseball from their 2-game stretch.
