And OU giving Arkansas all they want.

Lost 12 of 13, now they’ve won 3 in 3 days. Might as well win two more. They’ve got off to hot starts and held on the last two days. Crazy.

2nd year in a row, however if he had been able to keep the players that left last year, they probably would have had a better team. The transition from one of the best defensive teams in the SEC his first two years to one of the worst the last two is surprising.

Safe, but I think Beard outcoached him tonight.

Both teams couldnt buy a three, but when Hubbard goes 5-10 from the line, you know it’s not State’s night. I couldn’t believe he missed two with the game on the line.

State could barely drive inside the three point line. Bama was covering the guards up, and on the other end State couldn’t keep Bama’s guards from driving. The stat lines were really odd. It seemed like Bama was draining threes all night, but they only made 3 more than State. Both teams had 19 fouls, yet Bama made two more free throws than State attempted. They were 27-33 from the line. Two great games tonight. KY comes from 18 down and beats LSU on a last second shot. OM gets a big road win over UGA on a third attempt with .2 seconds left.

I think Indiana’s coach has proven himself and he can do it without star players. I don’t know about Golding. OM will miss Kiffin and his offense and his game planning. Plus they have a much tougher schedule next year. They benefited the last two from a favorable schedule. OM won’t go 2-10 though because they will get players with their collective. All the praise for Golding is premature. Not saying he won’t be a good coach, he’s been hyped too much and Kiffin devalued too much in my opinion. Same with Texas Tech. Not sure about the coaching, but they’re going to spend some money.

That was a hell of a game. Two classics in a row for OM. The dropped INTs by Miami almost cost them the game. Miami was able to execute their game plan and push OM around on offense. OM stayed in the game with Chambliss making great throws and the WRs making some very good grabs. Weis made Golding look good against UGA and Miami. I give Golding credit for keeping the players focused, but their run was all about offense. Nobody will get that PI call. If the only contact was made by the defense, maybe, but there was pushing and grabbing by both.

Exactly. They have even done it without big name portal guys and they recruit in the 35-40 range. I don’t know how much they spent on this team, but I bet it wouldn’t be near what the others have. That tells you how good of a coach Cignetti and his staff are. OMs schedule was set up again for a great season, but I thought after Simmons was injured that was a big blow. Chambliss has been insane. For him to have the game he did after completing just one pass against UGA in the 4th of the first matchup. Last night’s performance was legendary.

That game was insane. Big plays all night long and so physical. The drive OM had when they went up 27-24, the plays that Chambliss made were plays you make when it’s not just your night, but your year. That 3rd down play to get in FG range was a great call. Kudos to the LSU coaching staff. The whole situation and plays and outcome is almost not real. Lol

How does everyone think OM would have looked offensively if they didn’t have the coaches on “loan” from LSU?

Then matched up with a team that you lead by 9 on the road going into the 4th qt.

Hosting is huge for the program and city.

I really don’t trust all the NIL figures being thrown around. I’d have to see some audited financials. There was a rumor OM would give Kiffin 40m, then all teams in the running offered 25m, then one of the deciding factors was LSU offering more NIL money.

I thought the OL was really improved this year.

With all the coaching changes, the next portal transfer is going to be crazy.

Of course I don’t know him personally, but if he stays focused on football there’s no reason he shouldn’t do very well there. What he did at OM once he got the talent was impressive. He will get the talent. He turned a Ferris State QB into what should be a Heisman candidate. LSU already paid for a DC, so Kiffin should get him some players and stay out of his way.

The difference this time is Kiffin was the HC. Coaches coach to win a national championship. I’m sure he would have done all he could to make it happen. For bimself. While his new LSU coaches talk to OM player reps. Lol

Congrats on the new Wammie.

Yep. And all the way back to sending him to rehab for alcohol AND drugs. IG DMs. Snap pictures. Good grief. That’s some high school mean girl stuff. OM and Kiffin were the perfect match. Sad.

I think I saw Wammies in one of those videos at the airport. jk So OM offered the staff double to stay. This has been very unexpected. I know the pay means a lot to the assistants, but the opportunity to coach an 11-1 team in the playoffs is a dream come true. Let’s not pretend though that Kiffin didn’t make OM what it is. They have boosters who will support and give a bunch of money to the program, but Kiffin was the key. Now they practically hired a coordinator to be the head guy after we heard all week how Sumrall was dying to get the job, but they’d settle for Golesh. This does seem like the Arnett hire at State in regards to keeping a team in tact, but the season isn’t over and they have a lot more to play for (and a good team).

I think Carter helped some. That’s two hard headed dudes standing their ground. At least Carter was doing it for the school, while Kiffin was doing it for himself.

I would think between Judge and Golding, one would leave because they’ve both been mentioned as a potential HC. I couldn’t see them both staying after one gets picked as interim over the other. Golding probably has the biggest salary to be giving up. As nasty as this is already, I imagine those crazy bastards on X will lose their mind if OM loses the first round game, maybe even if they drop to a non host spot (which I don’t think will happen). I’ve already seen someone tag Kiffin and the Oxford PD in a “what if” post about underage girls. A freaking “what if” post.

Would OM fans rather have Judge or Golding as HC. If you couldn’t have both.

Dang. OM fans on X are telling all on Kiffin now.
