Jon Sumrall spoke very highly of Will Hall after he took the Florida job. Also, UConn has been a solid program as of late

Ole Miss was America’s team tonight. Beating Georgia without Kiffin earlier this year and now this? What a time to be a rebel ran. Kamario had a rough start but it was expected for a young guy in a tough environment. We were already pretty thin at DT and Trevion’s injury looked season-ending. Happened last year to Whitson and his absence was definitely felt. Sucks to have that happen when the game was pretty much already over. Both teams are probably top 25. We may have a # next to our name tomorrow. Mizzou didn’t look great against Troy today, and they’re also without Ahmad Hardy so another very winnable game next week

I think every one still has PTSD from DeSean Jackson’s punt return. Even though it’s your best bet in that situation

LSU is the better team. But the difference lies in who’s commanding the offense. Trinidad wins games, Sam Leavitt loses games. I think Kiffin will win the chess match and OM’s OL should struggle. But because they have Kewan and Trinidad they can compensate for that. In a big game I’ll always roll with Trinidad, Rebels 35 - LSU 28 I think Gus Malzahn had a legacy game last year against Bama (as always against bama). Hate he retired I enjoyed watching his offenses through the years. Anyways, I got Bama rolling through the noles while establishing the run game 42-17 UF - Auburn. Said this about 2 weeks ago. I like both hires. Florida’s is in a much better spot from a roster standpoint and could upset someone this year. I’ll take Florida 21-17 This game for state really tells us how good this team is. Lebby’s vision is happening before our eyes. Nightmarish speed on the perimeter. A bowling ball coming down the middle in Fluff Bothwell. A QB that was built in a lab 30 minutes from Starkville. Our OL finally looks like a physically imposing MS State line that we’re used too. Obviously we’re not world beaters, but I thought last week was the best looking state team in years. SCAR has dudes and could match us in a track meet. I think this will be a shootout determined by which QB turns the ball over, I’ll take State 45-42

Let’s see how much this line changes the next 2.5 months

1. Clemson saw a lot of new things from Kiffin & Weis and were severely unprepared 2. Clemsons not a very good football team 3. Leavitt has always had a problem with trying to be a superhero and turning it over The Clemson game made LSU look like a force to be reckoned with. No doubt they’re talented with a top 5 roster. They’re still human though. Right now LSU is probably a td better than Ole Miss, but Leavitt can most definitely lose them that game Saturday

Minn with 13 total rushing yards. My optimism for this season has grown exponentially because of that single stat

In Minnesota’s defense, they probably have never seen this Wide Choice offense and can’t get a simulation of it in practice. SEC teams differ in the fact they have played Tennessee and State for a couple years so they’re more familiar with it

After watching that first drive defensively, we seem much more physical than I expected. We’ll see how that stands in the 4th quarter. 1m 40s drive for us, 10 min drive them haha

10 years ago State was littered with stud homegrown defensive linemen. Now it’s our weakness. Stylistically we don’t match up well with Minnesota defensively unless Arnett has some secret sauce

Id say both of those are true

I’ve been thinking since the egg bowl game last year that Kamario is the most talented Wide Choice (Vear & Shoot) QB that we’ve ever seen in cfb. The big thing for him is staying healthy this year. He’s pretty slippery and doesn’t take big hits though, a lot like Lamar Jackson in that regard

Ole Miss has a tough outing to open with. I’m a big Jeff Brohm guy and think Louisville will be in ACC contention as long as he is there. If there wasn’t such a talent disparity, I would take Louisville to win right here. But Pete somehow managed to bring back IMO the best QB and maybe the best RB in the nation. That alone gets him above .500 this year. I really like Joe Judge, Frank Wilson, and Baker. This will more than likely still be a top 20 offense. The big question is defense. Pete wasn’t exactly the cream of the crop from a coordinator standpoint, but they still had great defenses in his time because of the recruiting. Have to imagine that won’t sustain now that Kiffin is gone. Not that Pete isn’t a great recruiter, but I don’t think they’ll be able to replicate the last few years of Kiffin’s tenure. I’ll take Ole Miss 21-17 No idea what to think of Clemson and LSU. SMU (-3) v Florida St. Both of these teams have some dudes. Norvell could be gone by November this year. FSU pulled a tough ACC slate and then have Bama + Florida OOC. FSU will be the biggest job open this season unless Norvell lights off a powder keg this year. I’ll take SMU 32-20 Auburn (-7.5) v Baylor. Byrum Brown may be the freakiest athlete in the SEC this year. The most violent QB I’ve ever seen. Really looking forward to week 3 with Auburn vs Florida. Floridas probably in a better spot right now because of the roster they were able to bring back. I like both hires from each team, and the staff Sumrall brought in. Golesh is going to need a little more time to turn his program around than UF. UF has the ability to upset some folks this year. But back to this game, I’ll take Auburn in a close one vs DJ Lagway 17-14

If it’s someone like Trinidad, load your weapons SEC we’re going to war. But this is over a 2nd string TE and an undrafted DT. It’s not worth losing a conference membership over

This isn’t the first time Buddy’s voiced an opinion in such a manner. There had to be some other tension between him and whoever had the ability to fire him

Minnesota actually may be one of the upper tier B10 teams this year. I wouldn’t doubt if State rolls in as underdogs by that time

For Ole Miss, I think just having Trinidad and Kewan guarantees you 8 wins

Think Kiffin is playing mind games with this whole buyout deal that OM just filed a lawsuit for? Situations like this need to be addressed soon from the NCAA. If players leave after they just signed a contract, the rev share amount shouldn’t be locked into the University’s cap. The buyout clause wouldn’t be necessary if the allocation could be reversed. Ole Miss could’ve gotten 3-4 more players with that $$

I think Lebby needs 6 wins to keep his seat cool. Pre season talk is chasing the wind. By week 5 Bama could be a winnable game and Mizzou could look like a force to be reckoned with. 3 SEC wins Is the goal, and a Bowl win just for the record: We got a chance to upset one of those titans (looking at you Bama), it may could secure him another 2 years. If we had Arnett and a 2nd team All-SEC DT last year I think we were a 8 win team. So weren’t as terrible as most people think. Just hope we get atleast half of the improvement we showed 2024 to 2025

State has a good amount of a winnable games. ULM, Minn, SC, Mizzou, Vandy, Auburn. Wouldn’t be surprised if they upset one of the powerhouses. 6 wins would be a good year

Baseballs a weird sport and anything can happen. But I dont think anyone is close to Georgia at this point

Don’t see how they could match the firepower of this years lineup. We’ll probably take a step back there. The big thing is landing another reliever or 2. Bauer’s development is a huge piece of next year too. He showed flashes near the end but was inconsistent

Felt like we’ve seen Jacob Parker in that situation about 7 times this year. It was a fun season with a lot of tough losses. The jump from last year makes this program exciting again. Think this was a home-run hire with O’Conner

Story of the season

A track meet doesn’t favor us
