I'm pretty sure the NFL has said that if they go back to college, they cannot play in the NFL this season

[Why?]

I understand that you question the value, ESPECIALLY after seeing the response to ridiculous claims by Bama, and even more so, Auburn, but this is a different story since the NCAA already declares it to be so. It's ancient history, I get it, but for most of us, so is 1958, but that one matters (at least it does to me).
Now let's imagine a possible future where LK goes on a Saban-esque run, and wins 5 of the next 8 championships (I know, unlikely, but not impossible). If Michigan, USC & OSU don't win any in that period (I mean, these days, they have to beat IU to even win their conference, right?), then we can say, "We're in the top 3 in history for NCAA championships!"
Only Bama & ND would be ahead of us, and BOTH of them have some sketchy claims to titles. Ours would all be legit.
Having grown up in the mediocre '70s, attended LSU in the up and down '80s, and endured the awful '90s, that would be a pretty cool thing to be able to say.
None of it matters in eternity, but if our team is playing for championships and we want them to win one, why not also accept one that's already declared to be ours?

Not sure why all the downvotes, but that was AWESOME! The anticipation built by switching just before the big play was made in the first half of the video really built suspense, and by the time you showed the completion of those plays, I had tears in my eyes!
Geaux Tigahs!

If I can (at least initially) accept BK, I can do the same for Kiffin.

Faith Torres on bars landing swung her arms AND took a step. That's an automatic 2 tenths deduction, right? Yet she got a 9.85. Then she hops on the rebound on her final pass on floor, which should be at least a tenth deduction, and STILL gets a 9.95.
That's one tenth right there that would've been the difference in winning and losing.

Don't forget Anthony Wilson's buzzer beater to beat Memphis, too! PMAC went WILD!

To be honest, Florida has been great, but LSU has been so underscored that it's maddening.

I wouldn't trade coaches cuz I just can't be a fan of Staley, but she's just better. Sure, she has better post play, but her coaching decisions in game, sadly, just seem to always catch Kim. off guard.

If they can't win in THAT atmosphere, when will they? I mean, I know they'll break the streak sometime, but it's hard to imagine the circumstances given the talent and the atmosphere tonight.

The NFL is always a threat with successful coaches, but the difference between Lane and Saban is that Lane has already had a taste of that and Saban just needed to find out what he could do as an NFL HC.
No idea what Lane would do, but I think that works in our favor this time.

1984 vs Bama at Legion Field (before Bama went back to playing in Tuscaloosa). Tornado spotted nearby, but the game continued and Tiger fans made it seem like a home game as we won in Birmingham for the 2nd time in a row after losing 12 in a row to them!
