that’s my point. Having some goofy arse “teams” for weight lifting is hokey bullshite. Is the fact you are competing for one of the biggest prizes in American sports a college football national championship not enough? I mean I’m sure our players don’t see it that way because it wasn’t put in those terms but that should be the day 1 explanation and the backbone to everything we do. National championship or bust. That should be the only standard. You aren’t working out to win some goofy arse game within the locker room you are grown arse men getting paid 100s of thousands if not millions of dollars and have a multi million dollar facility to work in, and you should be lifting to get one step closer to the nfl and to win a national title. If that isn’t enough motivation get the frick out.


And before anyone responds yes I know we aren’t winning the title next year that isn’t the point. The point is the standard and the standard doesn’t change. How do you think cignetti did what he did at Indiana? Because you can bet your arse he never once walked in and said “we’re Just Indiana

Clearly you don't understand how to change a culture.... maybe you should..... IDK... LET THE COACH COACH HIS TEAM and you just be a fan.... or go to school and get a degree and go coach 'em.....

You are either part of the problem or part of the solution.... griping about everything and being a naysayer is clearly being part of the problem.
Culture doesn't change until attitudes and perceptions and expectations change... if you knew how to do the job you would understand that but you CLEARLY would rather just be an internet naysayer....

High school ball can be really rewarding, you just can't gauge success in wins or how many kids you put in the league.
I look back and hope and pray that:
1. I developed boys into quality young men that will go be the salt and the light.
2. I taught the game right, tried to coach fundamentals, stayed innovative with schemes, and helped them have fun with it.
3. Taught them there's a much bigger game to win than just the one we play on a given Friday.

I hope I was able to do that.... didn't get rich as a coach. In 22 years probably had maybe a couple of dozen that played beyond HS at some level.
A couple were able to play at a high major.
But I love to see them come back home and husbands and professionals and they are living out the ideals we tried to instill in them.
That's success at this level.
College and pro is a lot more about the talent and the money. Always thought it would be cool to coach at that level but never really had the chance.. and that's cool.
Big Dan would make a heck of an O-line coach! Best of luck to him!

and you Louisiana folks have SO much room to talk.

One of my favorite things to do growing up was to go to Spearsville and laugh at my Louisiana cousins

or Arkansas at #9?

All the hype will make the crash that much harder to look away from.

and after one class and a portal haul if you can't see the obvious improvement to the roster you need to take off your BP colored glasses and pay attention.

Can he coach? We shall see.... but he can recruit....

Team has to channel this effort and take it on the road with them.

Arky Texas had some dandy games back in the day. So far the SEC side of that rivalry hasn't really heated up.
I expect it to soon though.

Someone beat me to it but Thursday-Friday Semifinals were a dumb idea.

We happened to be home randomly for the Thursday night game but were at a HS basketball game Friday and what little I got to watch was on my phone.
That's bad scheduling by the CFP or whoever made that call.

Every recruiting guy out there will tell you they don't evaluate the portal very well. Impossible to with so many guys in and out in such a short amount of time.

It's a crapshoot and the best you can do is fill needs with the best player you can afford that fits what you are doing. Hopefully they fit from a chemistry standpoint also.

Let me clear up a few things about this completely unhinged Lane coaching football circus everyone seems determined to create.

We’ve watched other coaches poach entire rosters (Lane has one from his old school) and march them straight into new jobs — no outrage there. Totally fine.
But Lane? Oh no. Different rules.

We’ve also seen coaches accept new positions and still coach their teams through the playoffs. Again, perfectly acceptable… unless your name is Lane. Sorry, he wasn’t going to get conned into a lifetime contract just to coach the team he had built in the playoff.

Then come the daily headlines out of Oxford, most of which have been debunked almost as fast as they’re published.

Tampering? Ole Miss shut that down themselves.
Threatening to steal assistants? Funny, considering Lane explicitly allowed any coach who wanted to stay and finish the playoff run to do exactly that.

And the latest pearl-clutching moment: Juice isn’t Lane’s dog. He chose to let him finish out the season, and now — shocker — he’s back in BR. The horror.

At this point, it’s not about ethics. It’s about selective hypocritical outrage mostly caused by Oxford and media and they’re all falling for it like Trump derangement syndrome.

Sad times :(
