Did you not pay attention at all to Ole Miss throughout the entire year? Or what Lane had done to that Ole Miss program throughout his tenure there?
And you are hesitant to think he may not do as good at a behemoth like LSU?
Yeah I did, and I saw him raise the ceiling of a historically struggling program which is awesome. He also went 11-24 against ranked teams while at Ole Miss in an era where the playing field has been leveled more than ever, in part because he's over-aggressive in certain moments on game day.
Regardless, I'm excited about him as head coach, but it's also a different job than Ole Miss. The portal has been a great success so far, but forgive me for being cautiously optimistic and wanting to judge him based on what he does at LSU and not at his old school, and he's been here all of a few weeks. I will say I don't think he's gonna have many of Kelly's issues after what we learned in the weeks after his firing.
The one thing I know for certain is, many of the same posters bashing me in this thread are going to be the same ones pining for his firing while quoting his contract in the game day score board after his 2nd or 3rd loss, because their whole identity is tied to LSU football and they're emotionally incapable of not being reactionary... and I'll likely be one of the few defending him.

Lane's done great so far in the portal, which is both exciting and what was expected as it's a strength of his, but LSU also has recruited itself long before Lane got here, NIL or otherwise.
I'm far more interested to see how he manages a game and a season.
Kelly had the #1 portal class last year as well.
On that note, can we hold off on threads more-or-less crowning Kiffin before he ever coaches a single game? ...because the second loss and this board's gonna want him tarmacked.
I think he's going to do well here, but I've also seen this story play out far too often.

re: Why do pros not just have one divot mark?
Posted by 904 on 1/15/26 at 4:23 pm to DestrehanTiger
A couple reasons...
Because grass is not a hard floor and the ball settles down to some degree, even on the tightest of lies, meaning that blades of grass get impacted before the you see the visible dirt of the divot.
It's also because the part of the golf ball that gets hit first is behind where the bottom of the ball is sitting. Considering that pros almost always have a descending strike with any club not driver, they can still catch the back of the ball first while taking a divot because the ball is round, not a singular point. So unless the ball is on a tee or they catch it thin, the divot will actually probably start around where the bottom of the ball was even though they hit the ball first.
Slow motion of impact:

It's kind of a myth that pros divots start after the ball, unless it's on a tee...

Sounds like he's saying some of the other engineering on the car is brilliant such as the fuel economy and other out-of-the-box thinking. It's possible that management decided to outsource the software side, or imposed too aggressive deadlines.

This was disproven a while ago. There is video of the tires pointing directly at the officer, spinning out, and then creeping forward before she begins to turn left.
It's not disproven with the newest bodycam video. You can clearly see when the car spins out in the new video, and it all happens after that first screenshot and the ones I posted when she's continuously turning the wheel to her right, which is away from the officer.

Cherrypicked screenshot (which is the last of the 4 below). She's continuously turning the wheel to her right which is away from the officer where he's positioned on her left headlight. Look at her hands and the relative position of the car.
The fact that y'all are making me defend this lunatic is stupid, because she's at fault as well.

He probably won't. If he was a competent officer, he would've known to not place himself in front of a subjects car, but it's enough of a gray area that it will be considered self defense. Barnes v. Felix all over again.
The point is, it was avoidable by both him and the crazy woman.

It won't matter. This is Kyle Rittenhouse 2.0.
Their mind is made up and nothing will change that.
Rittenhouse was a clear case of self defense where the deceased was chasing him down. There was no debate for that. Justified shooting, regardless of what happened before or after.
The deceased in this case at the VERY least appears to have been potentially trying to escape, which is the difference. You can't examine this video and the others with a unbiased eye and tell me that she was, unequivocally and without a doubt, intentionally trying to run anyone over after visibly backing up and continuously turning the wheel to her right.
Additionally, considering that the officer placed himself in front of the vehicle which goes against any and all officer training, far more of a gray area than Rittenhouse.

I've always doubted she was actually trying to hit him (although I think that's far from certain considering how psychotic the "wife" sounds on the video). But even if this bolsters the idea she wasn't, it's pretty obvious she's ignoring commands and clips the guy.
Yeah agreed, from the longer videos I've seen, she's always ignored the "get out of the car" commands. I never heard any officer tell her to leave which was what was being reported in some cases.
quote:...which is why officers aren't trained to position themselves in front of a car because, besides being dangerous for the officer, it forces the officer to make a fatal choice regardless of intention.
He has no idea what she's trying to do.
Nothing I've seen thus far points to it being anything but an avoidable event by both the woman and the officer. Both are to blame.

Haven't seen this video yet.
This woman and her wife continue to be annoying as hell, but watched it several times and trying to be objective as possible.
If you start at 38 seconds, she backs up, stops, and then visibly begins turning the wheel hard to her right when he's lined up directly over the far left side of her grill / left headlight. Watch her hands and the relative position of the car.
If she was trying to ram the officer, she would have had to be turning to her left when he was at her 11 o'clock, not the right.
She ended up ultimately clipping him, but it's pretty obvious from this perspective that she is trying to flee around him, even in real time.
quote:
how could he be more professional?
by not positioning himself
quote:
infront of her car.
As I explained above, the officer placed himself in front a subjects vehicle while it was being operated, which is both common sense and against protocol of just about every department in the country, because if the car moves forward for whatever reason, whether accidental or intentional, he is shooting.
Whether or not someone is told to stop is irrelevant because they could accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake or something else entirely.
It's really not that complicated. She fricked up, and he fricked up. He's also supposed to be the professional. They're both in the wrong. If either one of them doesn't frick up, she isn't dead and the country isn't at each others throats as much as we were yesterday.

It’s so shocking that all the OT Moderates are up in her simping for the bitch who tried to murder a federal agent. It’s amazing how a liberal’s view point of absolutely anything is 100% predictable. Total mindless lockstep.
Very few, including myself, on this board are simping for this woman. She didn't need to be there, and panicked when the car should've been in park.
But we should also demand more from officers who are supposed to be professionals, because this event will without-a-doubt only make things far worse for everyone in an increasingly divided country, especially ICE and others in law enforcement who are actually doing their jobs as they are supposed to.
There are no winners today and you'd be wrong for believing otherwise.
quote:
Whether or not the cop should stand in front of her is department policy. It’s also irrelevant bc she isn’t supposed to try to run him over, policy or not.
She's probably an entirely insufferable human. Most anyone whose politics are their entire personality are which are often the types that protest at these places.
But humor me for a second. What if she wasn't trying to run him over? It's entirely possible, if not probable, that in the 2 seconds of adrenaline and chaos of her backing up and trying to evade the other office who was grabbing at something in her cab, that she didn't even see the guy in front, or at least thought she had turned the wheel enough that she was going to miss him. Maybe the other officer even hit the steering wheel or her arm in the process. He was reaching for something in through the window after all.
That's why the shooting officer's erroneous position in front of the car is a huge issue and something absolutely 0 departments teach. If she moved the car in his general direction, even accidentally, he put himself in a position where he was forced to make a fatal and hugely consequential decision.

They might be the most trained and most equipped federal law enforcement agency that we have.
There's no police training curriculum in the world that tells an officer that they should position themselves in front of an occupied vehicle (which he did as seen in the longer video I linked above), always from the side. She's not blameless, but the officer certainly isn't either.
If this instead was a car wreck in a state with modified comparative negligence, insurance would deem them both at fault.

Oof. This video is brutal.
On one hand, the woman should've put the car in park and not panicked and she'd still be alive today.
On the other, what the hell is the supposedly-professional agent doing? In the longer version, it shows him walking both behind and in front of the car which goes against every bit of vehicle training fundamentals that officers are given when a car is occupied by a subject. Never would've happened had he approached from the side, but Barnes v. Felix all over again because of awful positioning.
This is gonna get messy. Here's your powderkeg.
