Good post & upvote because I feel the same way to a certain extent.

I think the creation of the transfer portal is overwhelmingly the biggest driver of the issues - not NIL. Paying recruits has been happening for decades so I don’t mind that either (new structure actually levels the playing field moving it above board vs. watching Dodge Chargers all over).

I support the players making money and it’s deserved, but combining the money with the transfer portal is creating a massive shitstorm bubble that is not going to benefit college football or college sports in general. It’s now an unregulated 1 year contract/free agency market every single year, for every single player.

Absolute chaos that self interested “agents” are going to prey on

The headlines will say this: Chambliss was unconscious - simply incredible throws. He is impossible to sack (I was in Oxford for the LSU game and we couldn’t touch him once).

Lacy also played great (excluding the fumble). That 3rd down where he took that pass & big hit for the key first down was beyond huge. Lacy popped up and the UGA defender looked like he hit a brick wall.

However, the ole Miss defense looked great in the 2nd half and allowed the offense to shine and come back by stopping the run. Remember UGA never punted the 1st time and they stepped up

They need to just get rid of targeting. Refs repeatedly cannot call it consistently which makes it worthless.

Go to the NFL rules where it has to be violent and a blatant hit to get called a personal foul.

Edit: Funny thing is Stockton hit in the NFL would be personal foul and the other no flag

Pretty much the exact same way OU beat Bama in Tuscaloosa…pretty wild

I still have faith in Durham. His runs freshman year weren’t a fluke and he broke a ton of tackles.

I hope the bad year was due to the terrible offensive scheme and bad play-calling. We knew the offensive line was going to be a weakness and our offensive scheme + Nuss inability to push the ball down the field exacerbated it.

FIFY - “the heaux”

Thanks god - Appearing on gameday made absolute no sense.

Time to escape the nonsense from the last 2 weeks and go to work with your head down…interjecting yourself into the picture again would be ridiculous

I could be wrong but I thought no school can spend over the cap - however, private NIL payments can be made as long as the athlete is providing a real professional service for the compensation that has to be validated by a clearinghouse. So I think yes, $30MM can be spent.

I think Oregon has spent $30MM/year for 15 years

The dad is pretty crazy and very hands on from what I hear. Doesn’t Simmons play baseball too?

If we landed Underwood and not had this “go all in” year with Nuss / NIL, we might still be stuck with Brian Kelly.

New LSU era has started
