Sounds like a nasty incident. As it reads, the kidnapping is a pile on charge, so it's clear authorities wanted to send a message.

In the few WBB games I watched last season, Watkins was typically the most obnoxious on the floor.

In the big dustup with LSU last season, she was the catalyst.

Either a big suspension or Staley clears room for another scholarship.

Good thing Dawn got Douda from the portal.

I heard suspended for first half of opener

I wonder if Dawn will allow her to be with the team for the White House visit in a few days.

It was just a vanilla offense.
We don't want to reveal all our secret weapons to our next opponent.

No way.

The only way he saves his job is if he pulls of 7 or so wins and then you could argue he shouldn’t an extra year.

But we are about to have another losing season. No way he survives it.

He's lost the fanbase with a game we won. Just wait until we start playing SEC teams.

Sorry to hear that. You are too young to go through that. Be careful to take care of yourself.

It’s about what’s best for the “student tho”

SFC, the question is will the "powers that are" @USC pull the trigger at the end of this season. It matters not what you and I think. I'm not sure they would. Of course, we fired Jim Carlen (one of the best coaches we ever had, imho....damn that Holderman) and then fired Richard Bell a year later. Who knows?

CARLEN was as big a mistake as Beamer.

NOPE. WHAT WAS I THINKING???? BEAMER IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN THE HISTORY OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!

Money.

Quick history timeline:

+ Both teams go 8-5 in 2022. We're 40th in Total Offense that season. They are 30th.

+ We beat two top ten teams. They beat UK and lost to every other notable team.

+ Kiffin takes the stage openly begging for money -- Stating the system is rigged and the only way to compete against the better teams in the SEC is to buy up players.

+ Money flows in Oxford from all directions during their off-season and there are openly flaunting it.

+ While Ole Miss is buying up the planet, we're watching our 2022 stars walk out the door.

The rest is history.

Do you honestly believe Wells wouldn't have stayed at USC if we had offered him $250K more than other teams?

Please.

Didn't we finish above them in recruiting that year?

Maybe they just spent their money better than we did? Our recruiting was just smoke and mirrors because we blew our budget on a 5 star who isn't capable of playing the position he wants to play.

JIM Carlen was a piece of CRAP! ... should be in our HOBs.

LOL!!! He already is ... LOL what a joke!!!

Sanders ran hard but he's more a finesse back.

We really needed Anderson's size in the backfield last night to run through tackles like he was doing the 2nd half of last season.

We're not running thru anything with this atrocious offensive line

Robhawk29 said:

Did the coaching staff really have to call a timeout at the end of the game to explain how to run out the clock? Anyone?

Click to expand...

Don’t worry that won’t be much of an issue going forward

We have been beaten by Sun Belt teams before. One, fairly recent.

Definitely need better qb play

Our WR group is equally as lost

Thanks for your honest update on your new game day experience. What did you think inside the stadium atmosphere was like?. Before the lightning delay. 2001 and train entrance. We dodged a huge bullet having the big cloud over head. Bluff rd hasn’t changed in 20 plus years. I’m good with it. It’s my out to Greenville. It’s quicker.

My 2cents. I thought they should have cancelled half time band after the long delay. That was useless - especially with threats of weather still in the area. They didn’t need two 30 min breaks . Maybe they wanted to keep band parents in the stadium a little longer. I’ve been through one before and 1/2 time was like 5-10 min tops.

We have four rows of aisle seats. Best seats ever. Makes letting peeps in and out a breeze. Plus can fit extra people in when needed.

Ashford is marginal. However, he's also a RS Senior who threw the ball around for Auburn in 2022. Mediocrity by committee.

Are we completely priced out of the quality SEC QB at this point?

Click to expand...

Yep and there just isn’t as many quality lineman available these days and the big dogs get them all. I don’t see big guys playing even at high school level.

Ha. Yes.

For those that didn't watch the game though, it's hard to describe how bad a victory can look.

But we are 1-0.

He was our highest paid player. We weren’t being cheap with him.

His comments about wanting to play with a better qb certainly look prophetic now that the season has started.
