I’m aware of the rules, but if you watch games, officials just ask teams to confirm they want the ball when it is their option. Practically speaking, officials try to help players avoid this mistake.
No kidding, that’s exactly what happened twice…
Well, see the article above. Happened under the greatest coach in college football history.
It used to be possible. My memory was pretty good. MSU won and deferred. Brady James chose to receive.

Now officials don’t give the option. Whoever has the choice is automatically deemed to receive. Used to you actually had to say what choice you were exercising.

Mississippi State won the toss and deferred to LSU. However Tigers team captain Bradie James elected to kickoff rather than receive, costing the Tigers a possession to start the half. The last time the Tigers were a victim of this miscue was in the Curly Hallman era, and, ironically, Hallman was on the sidelines as the defensive backs coach on Saturday.
Yes. We won the toss and our captain (Brady James, I think) demanded that we wanted to kick. Even the ref tried to talk him out of it.

ETA it was under Nick not Les.
There is some resentment because Kiffin didn’t want Arch.

All of his shots are short. The whole team has tired legs and it's showing


Beating up on the bottom half of division 1 basketball teams is absolutely exhausting.

Auburn lost by 30 to Michigan and 20 to Gonzaga. I won’t judge on one game or one half. Will se how they respond in 2nd half and how they play next Saturday against SMU.


Those teams also have other wins against the net top 100. We do not. When you play a crappy out of Conference schedule, getting your doors blown off by the few teams you play doesn’t help.
quote:

So who would bench Max to start the 2nd? Or do you just play him a few minutes to see if he starts out hot


Would have benched him earlier in the first half. Not because he was cold from behind the line, but because he was playing lazy. Several times he missed shots and walked back up the court. Not surprising that nothing happened, playing soft, and lazy has been a calling card of McMahon‘s Teams since he got here.

quote:

It has nothing to do with McMahon. Somehow it gets assigned to that. I will always support LSU no matter what.


Like somebody else said, ignore this guy. His opinion is worthless. He will blindly defend McMahon because McMahon is not Will Wade.
quote:

I disliked Wade because he's a grimy charlatan, with no hope of ever taking LSU to the promised land. His peak was sneaking up on a few overrated Kentucky teams.


Nice try. There are a few of us on here that have followed you long enough to have connected the dots. Your blind support of McMahon is completely tied to your hatred of Wade. Your hatred of Wade is tied to the fact that he was far more popular than your favorite coach. You really are operating on about a 10-year-old level.

Look, no time to panic. Was this team a 25 team? Maybe not. However, they are nowhere near as bad as they played in the 1st half


He has his roster, he has a big enough player budget to be competitive, and we are seeing the exact same deficiencies. We have seen throughout his entire time in Baton Rouge. It is year four, the excuses are over. This team is soft, defensively lazy and lazy with the Basketball. This has been the staples of his team for four years.

The first eight games met absolutely nothing.
It is truly entertaining how far this guy will go to defend McMahon. Especially when the only reason he is doing it is because he is still bitter that Will Wade was more liked on campus than his beloved Coach O. Give the guy credit, he can sure as hell carry a grudge.
quote:

I don’t think you can blame this game on Vince McMahon

TT cannot miss


What about the rebounding, lazy turnovers and lack of any scoring production.

This is what happens when you play a team with a pulse. The first eight games were agains awful completion and it’s now showing.
quote:

This is the worst theyve played all year and texas tech cant miss


You think maybe the competition has something to do with that. This is literally the first team they’ve played with a NET below 100.

The first 8 games really didn’t tell us much.
It’s same problems we’ve seen throughout MM’s time. Poor defense, soft on the board, and prolonged scoring droughts. Amazing what playing a team with a pulse reveals.

Fun fact, Grant McCasland was available when we hired MM, along with Todd Golden, nah, big game Scott had McMahon.
Tap the breaks a little. We haven’t even played a sub NET 100 team yet. Let’s see what happens today and next week.

Have not played a team with a sub 100 NET ranking and only one with a sub 100 RPI.

The next two weekends will tell us a lot.
Meeting has been delayed. Team meeting scheduled for later today has also been pushed back...

Poor Marty Smith still waiting outside for a comment.

Trinidad would be a 2nd or 3rd choice. He’s maximized his talent, but there will be better options in the portal.
Yes, as expected, Marty Smith knows less than this board.

Certainly entertaining to see that Lane is basically treating him like he’s at the kids table
