Let all the Bulldog faithful rally behind the men who now wear the red and black with two words, two simple words which express the sentiments of the entire Bulldog Nation: Auburn Sucks.
Imagine being this "high-ranking LSU official" today:
"Yeah, we know Coach O tried to bang your pregnant wife last time but it's good PR for Lane. Don't worry, we'll get you a cuck chair…" pic.twitter.com/gQ9Farzu9M
Between Kiffin’s allegations and Orgeron’s history, I hope that they are investing some of those NIL funds into a healthy Title IX department in Baton Rouge.
I’m guessing the best thing to watch this season at LSU won’t be the product on the field, but the off-field nonsense these two can drum up together. Since Lane is putting together the Title IX version of Saban’s Alabama, a repository for the Land of Lost Toys, let’s up the ante:
But, sure, keep those driving reports coming out of Athens. Nothing to see here, mon ami.
But what about the basketball program…there’s hope there, right? RIGHT? Cough.
One Top 20 head coach to @TheFieldOf68 on LSU's Will Wade:
“You’re being an idiot asshole for the sake of being an idiot asshole. What you’re doing is fucking it up for everyone else."
Wade is building a program made of international pros and grown men, where the team’s average age is older than the San Antonio Spurs. Does he worry about NCAA intervention?
Lane Kiffin just can’t stand being out of the spotlight for fifteen minutes. Now, he’s decided to create a new story about why he left Ole Miss for LSU, and, no, it wasn’t all about the money. At least, that’s Lane’s story this week, and he’ll stick to it.
It’s a slow time of season, so, naturally, this blew up on the socials and people were quick to point out why LSU landed on the Tigers as a mascot:
NEW ORLEANS — You may have seen a petition circulating on social media aimed at getting LSU to change their mascot.
The Change.org headline reads “Change the racist mascot of LSU,” and goes on to say “these powerful white males choose the Tiger as a symbol to honor a confederate regiment called Louisiana’s Tigers. They were known for their propensity for violence on and off the battle field. They were just as violent to the black slaves they owned, and later even more violent once those slaves were set free.”
Is there any truth to that statement? We started our search for answers at LSU.
Media Relations Director Ernie Ballard told us that the university is aware of the “largely anonymous petition suggesting the university change the mascot.”
“The tiger mascot was adopted in the 1890’s by the football team and was selected based on lore about the battlefield ferociousness of a Louisiana regiment operating in Northern Virginia,” Ballard confirmed.
But as for the alleged “propensity for violence off the battlefield” or their alleged ownership or treatment of slaves before or after the war? Ballard says “there is no information about soldiers’ conduct outside of the battlefield accounts.”
LSU heads to Oxford on September 19th this year.
If Kiffin thought going back to Tennessee was bad, he may need consider calling in sick when he returns to The Grove.
NEWS: The NCAA’s appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court in the Trinidad Chambliss eligibility case has been denied. He’ll be eligible to play for Ole Miss in 2026. pic.twitter.com/GbrhRLNhxI
Well, great. And we have to travel to Oxford. The one thing I can say we have going for us is revenge, and Gunner seems to be a guy who is hell bent on earning it. And Kirby is his head coach.
Something tells me that lessons will be learned that day. It’ll be Georgia’s third chance against this guy, it took four quarters in the first match, and we seemed to have him in the first two in the rematch. Now it’s time to have him in the first quarter.
If lessons are being learned, let’s hope they are learned in Georgia’s favor.
That title’s a bit of a reach. But let’s be real, we all saw this one coming, didn’t we?
NEWS: Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss has been granted a sixth season of eligibility by a state court judge in Mississippi. Chambliss received an injunction today, which paves the way for him to play in 2026 after the NCAA ruled he was eligibility. (The NCAA can appeal.) pic.twitter.com/nzeaak6uMq
The NCAA attorneys weren’t real happy about it, opting to leave the courtroom before the Judge’s decision had been reached, to which the Judge had a nice response:
Judge Whitwell just went after the NCAA attorneys in Trinidad Chambliss case for leaving before he was handing down the ruling, mentioning that he guess they were headed to Knoxville (Joey Aguilar case)
Said he will discuss holding them being in contempt of court
Thankfully, it wasn’t, and I have an opportunity to take us on a tour of the message board universe. We saw at least one team eliminated from CFP contention, a lot of pain inflicted on our main rivals and a program with a delusion.
Let’s start today’s trip in Baton Rouge to check in on the Corn Dogs’ coaching search.
If Nick Saban wanted to coach in the NIL and transfer portal era, he would have stayed in Tuscaloosa until he collapsed in his office. He looks very happy to be doing media, enjoying his ability to play golf, and living the high life after a successful coaching career.
Cajuns, Nick Saban isn’t coming back to save you from your governor’s decision to choose the next LSU football coach. He’s 74 (yes, a young 74). No way does he have the ability to look a recruit (and family) in the eye and say he’ll be a coach for 4 or 5 years at this point.
For all of those fan bases who believe Saban is coming back to save them, just stop.
Let’s move on to check in on Coach Amazon Prime in Boulder.
Colorado gets absolutely smashed in Boulder by Arizona. 5 turnovers and fewer than 300 yards of offense (3 turnovers of which led to extremely short fields for touchdowns) will get you run out of the stadium. The Wildcats led 38-7 at the half and played like Ralphie running over the Buffs.
I don’t know if Deion can be a successful head coach long-term. His formula isn’t working and probably isn’t going to work to make Colorado competitive. I wonder how happy Juju Lewis is in Boulder right now.
Let’s head to Dallas to see how the week 3 national champions are faring.
The Hurricanes are down bad after their 2nd loss to an unranked ACC opponent. Carson Beck throws 2 interceptions including a backbreaking pick on the goal line in overtime. Miami’s defense gives up 365 yards passing as Kevin Jennings takes care of the ball and engineers a 2:00 drive for the tying field goal aided by unnecessary roughness penalty.
Miami probably has to win out including the ACC championship game to be in the field of 12 at this point. Does Cristobal get blown out if that doesn’t happen? Coach Oeaux in Coral Gables would be a clash of cultures.
Let’s head to Greater Opelika to say “Thanks for the memories” to Hugh Freeze.
To those who believe #FireEverybody is the answer to your football program’s problems, Auburn should be the cautionary tale. Lather, rinse, repeat, War Tiglesmen. Your job is 3rd best of the conference’s open positions by a large margin. You have to convince someone that they can be successful being squeezed between 2 of the current giants of the sport while your past advantage (cough, cough … Auburn boosters … cough, cough) doesn’t matter any more. How quickly does Cam Coleman go into the portal with plans to play in Tuscaloosa?
I wondered if this was fake news. If not, this is pretty incredible. If Hugh was playing golf every Sunday in season, that’s a bad look, and I believe these guys should have a life.
The Corporate Media cannot fathom this level of investigative journalism, which broke the story of Hugh’s firing before it actually broke https://t.co/pe0WZ9Z2e9
Fun fact: Yesterday’s loss to Duke was the first time in 129 years of football that Clemson has lost when scoring more than 45 points. (134-1 now) Ouch. For the IPTAY crowd that loved Dabo for doing things the right way and looked down on the rest of college football, it sucks to be you now. Georgia broke Clemson in Charlotte on the night of September 4, 2021, and smashed them in Atlanta on August 31, 2024.
Can Clemson afford to fire Swinney or encourage him to find a new employer? Do they want to jump into a football coach hiring frenzy that already has LSU, Florida, Penn State and Auburn looking?
Sorry, Clive, but I’m guessing Dabo will be on the sidelines when Clemson goes to the Bayou in 2026.
Let’s move over to East Tennessee to check in on the fan base and team playing Halloween dress-up in a CFP elimination game.
Bobby Hill and the Vols likely save Brent Venables job with a loss on Rocky Top. Tennessee’s lines of scrimmage get dominated giving up 192 yards while gaining only 63 on the ground. Joey Aguilar’s 2 picks were both bad. One took points off the board for Tennessee, and the other enabled Oklahoma to steal 3 points right before the half.
Those 2 picks eventually led to the winning margin.
We’re going to take a short stop in Jacksonville to check on the geniuses of the UGA message boards.
This team keeps finding ways to melt down the fan base. This time it was a couple of explosive plays allowed by the defense while the offense sputtered for portions of the first 3 quarters. The first TD was the result of a poor punt leading to a short field and then a blown coverage. The field goal was the result of a turnover and then another blown coverage on a short field. The 3rd quarter was generally garbage.
I would love for this team to come out and blow people out. This team isn’t that right now, guys.
Sad, pathetic and soft aren’t words I would use to describe a team that has fought in every game for 4 quarters.
Let’s wrap up today’s trip on Tobacco Road to check in on America’s darlings, the Nerds of the North Avenue Trade School.
StinkTalk is probably saying how great they are because a 4-4 team rushed the field after beating them. Alas, since their board is blocked, we won’t know. I’m here for you to find other sources of amusement.
Nerd reaction to getting a swirlie on Saturday night in Raleigh
While no one cares enough about the other nerd boards to send any #MeltdownAlert posts to MBG, this post encapsulates their team. With Clemson’s implosion, they haven’t beaten anybody with a pulse and almost lost to Wake Forest who allowed FSU to break their ACC losing streak yesterday in Tallahassee by the score of 42-7.
NC State lost to Duke by 12, Virginia Tech by 2, Notre Dame by 29 and Pitt by 19. NC State’s offense then pistol-whipped the Jacketasses’ defense to the tune of 583 yards of total offense including 243 on the ground.
I’m sure Kirby is licking his chops over what much better athletes are going to do on a fast track in MBS against their defense.
That’s what I saw this weekend. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
We got to sit on our couches as a couple of seasons totally go up in flames and watch Alabama with the Gus Bus’s rabbit foot. We’ll have an abbreviate tour of the message board universe , but there’s some quality over quantity.
This ain’t good.
Let’s start this week in Fayette Nam where Hugh Freeze saved his hide for another week.
When your fans call wins a loss, you have lost the fan base. Auburn gets to 4-4 with bowl eligibility as the best the Tigers can achieve in a season where they pushed their chips to the middle of the table. His buyout is $15,000,000 plus assistant coach buyouts. Next year’s schedule has the Tigers at Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Ole Miss and hosting LSU, Florida and Vanderbilt.
With a comparative pittance of a buyout, do the Auburn Board of Trustees wait until season’s end to make the move or do it now? Who in the world wants that job given that you are at best 1-1 every year before the season starts with the Iron Bowl and the DSOR?
I can see Auburn standing pat and rationalizing it with the officiating excuse as well.
Let’s stop in and check on the season that has crashed around the South Carolina football program.
If you told South Carolina fans during the week that they would be in the game with Alabama in the 4th quarter, they would have declared a moral victory. Instead, they are turning on Shane Beamer for exactly that.
I’m going off the normal script for this feature for a moment. I thought Sellers forward progress was clearly stopped when the ball was ripped out. He was being turned the other way when the ball was dislodged. I’m sure the SEC officials would have called it exactly the same if the QB had been Ty Simpson.
The way they lost that game was classic South Carolina losing and Alabama as “hard to kill.” At this point, I’m getting to be ok with the idea of Alabama and Texas A&M fighting it out in Atlanta even if we’re 11-1. Yes, as this Georgia team grows up, I like our chances against either team in a postseason matchup.
Let’s move on to Norman as Oklahoma’s playoff chances go up in smoke (and Josh Pate is sad).
That’s some professional level message board genius right there. Oklahoma blows a 4th quarter lead to Ole Miss (Go Rebels! – only to keep Lane Kiffin engaged as long as possible from considering Florida).
Brent Venables seems to be a great defensive coordinator who just doesn’t seem to have “it” as a head coach. Oklahoma fans want a Big 12 offense combined with an SEC defense … sort of hard to do. If you’re curious, the buyout is $36,000,000.
Let’s finish our short trip in Corn Dog Country where Brian Kelly appears to be out at LSU.
As I mentioned on other threads, the Cajuns never embraced Kelly. Sure, he took the Tigers to an SEC title game in 2022 and positioned Jayden Daniels to win a Heisman in 2023.
LSU has looked terrible on offense whether that’s due an injured quarterback or lousy offensive line play.
Scott Stricklin is probably panicking at this point in the Lane Kiffin sweepstakes now that the LSU job is open.
