MSU fans should just fight fire with fire on this and quote every Malachi Toney post with “gonna look so great in maroon and white next year” with maybe an eyeball emoji or two
And just see if someone is dumb enough to write about it or say it on tv
NEW: Nick Saban on Mississippi State QB Kamario Taylor:
"If I was coaching right now, I’d be trying to get KaMario Taylor to get in the portal."

reminds me of the “NIL calculator” that was pushed with On3’s launch, that factored in Instagram followers into its equation.

Wowza! Former #LSU Provost Roy Haggerty unloaded about what prompted him to leave the university: @LAGovJeffLandry’s bid to revive LSU’s tradition of bringing a live tiger to football games. Haggerty said Landry started yelling during a meeting about it #lalege #lagov
EXCLUSIVE: During last week's testimony opposing @BeaverWBB players’ union bid, @OregonState provost invoked his prior tenure at @LSU—including, for first time publicly, the tiger-related reason he left in 2024. Is that relevant to OSU? For @Sportico 👇

Ah, yes, Uber and AirBNB famously took the approach of “how close can we get to breaking the laws and regulations of the industries we exist in, which will undoubtedly make said industries worse off in the long run.”

Last week @dmagee_writer joined @MorningsCross and talked about the filming of Dear William, recovery and the power of faith in his life.
The memory of his and Kent’s son, William, lives through @olemisswmc. The work they are doing today is more important than ever. Tell your kids you love them and you’re proud of them. It might save their life.

Ole Miss lost at Florida in 2024 to miss the playoff, a game in which the rebels ran the football 35 times, with just 10 of those carries going to players listed on the roster as a running back. A fifth string receiver and punt returner led the rebels in carries and rushing that day

“The best running backs to ever come through here is because of me.”

Whatever the hell this is, after beating a Clemson team on the fast track to 4-8 might be the most hilarious post to come out of this whole saga. Dear lord 😂
I’m going to try not to overreact here.
But I do want to describe what we saw last night - and, more importantly, what it feels like.
With one very important distinction: I am not declaring that this is the truth. I’m describing the feeling.
And tonight, it felt like Lane Kiffin was the perfect fit for LSU, for Louisiana, and for everything this place is about.
Kiffin has spent his entire career being doubted, criticized, and hated on—and he’s never seemed particularly interested in giving a damn.
That sounds a lot like Louisiana.
He went in to the locker room and said “Now imagine if we had Pro players” up 31-3.
He went for two up 44-3…
He IS STTDB made in to a football coach.
Give LSU fans something exciting. Give them something entertaining. Give them a reason to believe that when they walk into Tiger Stadium, they’re going to see something they can’t see anywhere else.
And they will show up.
We saw that last night.
In a huge way.
And now LSU finds itself with perhaps the most reckless entertainer in all of football.
LSU fans have been begging for excitement for years.
Lane Kiffin might be the answer to that call.
Because since Nick Saban left, LSU has often felt like a program that wins in spite of itself, rather than because of everything it does right.
We know the talent this state produces.
We know what Louisiana football looks like when that talent is put on a national stage.
And we know how many championships that talent has helped carry coaches who, frankly, probably weren't good enough to win them on their own.
But somehow, through all of it, LSU has still felt like college football’s sleeping dragon.
Well tonight, the fiddler walked in and woke the dragon and the fiddler’s name is Lane Kiffin.
