Looking at those snap counts that guy screams "potential over production" to me.

re: Would Bama take Ty Simpson back?

Posted by TheTideMustRoll on 1/15/26 at 10:32 am to thelawnwranglers

That's a difficult question to answer. Is his true level of play what he did in the early part of the season, and his regression in the second half was solely due to injury? If that's the case then hell yeah I'll take him back, he was playing at a championship level. Or, was that just an unsustainable peak for him and then he regressed to his mean? In that case we're better off rolling the dice with Mack or Russell. It's a hard call to make when his play was so different from the start of the year to the end.

re: Let’s talk about the current state of Auburn football.

Auburn fans are currently in, "Football isn't that important, I'm just proud that Auburn University is an institution that does things the right way," mode. If you know any Auburn fans, you know what I mean.

Settle down, OP. Yes, the constant Kiffin crowing from the LSU crowd is tiresome, but just think about how great this place is going to be the first time Kiffin Kiffins and it costs LSU a game. The backlash is going to be extremely entertaining. :lol:

They were talking about why so many guys have hit the portal from Bama.

I was under the impression that the number of players we have transferring out was just about average for a P5 program. Is that wrong?

The one thing that I think is truly funny is the amount of fans that claim to be done with it.

I find this pretty amusing too, especially the guy who posted on this board earlier today that he hadn't watched college sports since 2019 because of the way things were headed... and yet here he is posting on a college sports message board in 2026. :lol:

re: Besides college football, what is your next favorite sport to follow?

Posted by TheTideMustRoll on 1/13/26 at 10:37 am to PSS101

College football I love. I schedule around Alabama games and I can watch just about any game that is on that involves any SEC team or big teams from other conferences.

College basketball I enjoy. I will watch Alabama games if I am home when they are on but I don't schedule around them. But I can't watch regular season games that don't involve Alabama, unless maybe it's to watch Auburn lose. Even other big SEC matchups don't interest me all that much. Of course I'll watch the tournament but everyone watches that.

The NFL I am lukewarm about. I don't have a team so I have no rooting interest. I'll watch the occasional regular season game and I'll watch the playoffs, but I am not emotionally invested at all, unless it's to pull for a particular ex-Bama player's team.

For a while I enjoyed watching the Premier League but then NBC put the games behind a paywall for a few years and that really torpedoed my interest. I tried to get into the MLS but the massive LBGTQXYZ presence drove me away pretty quickly.

Baseball is fun to watch in person but is ennui-inducing on TV.

Maybe I should try to start watching the NHL.

re: ACC trying to poach UF & USCe?

Posted by TheTideMustRoll on 1/13/26 at 10:23 am to Yaboylsu63

If there is any truth at all to this - and I very much doubt there is - then that's a pretty big tell that the SEC is planning to add Clemson and either FSU or Miami in the near future. That's about the only thing that I think could make UF and SC "disgruntled."

That article was clearly written by an AI that read "re-signed" as "resigned" and went from there. Even if it were true that Mack were leaving no one says that they are "resigning" from a team, but rather that they are entering the transfer portal.

So you have one incredible gymnast (like LSU has/had) and makes scads of money yet the rest of the squad gets squat.

The gymnast wasn't an issue and in fact I'd argue that she was an instance of the system working the way it is intended to. She wasn't getting paid to be a gymnast at LSU, she got paid because she was super hot and therefore actually marketable. The issue is in football and basketball where NIL has become brazen and unregulated pay-for-play while the system tries to pretend that it is not.

How do you see college football bringing this incredibly wide open transferring and highest bidder scenario under control?

The NCAA is caught between a court system that has effectively told them that operating an amateur sports league as a for-profit concern is illegal, and their member schools who are extremely resistant to the idea that the players be considered anything other than amateur college students. The result is this weird mishmash that we currently have where the players get to be professionals while being treated like they're still amateurs. They can't be both and the courts won't let them be actual amateurs so the only answer is to make them employees of the schools.

re: Is Cignetti’s turnaround better than Bill Snyder at K-State?

Posted by TheTideMustRoll on 1/10/26 at 8:45 am to Rosco P Coltrane

I don't mean to discount what Cignetti has done in the slightest, it's extremely impressive. But there's a major difference between, "Go sell high school and JUCO recruits on committing to spending their college careers at one of the worst programs in college football history with nothing more than the promise that things are going to be better," and, "Mark Cuban said he'll buy any players you need so go find out how much it will cost to build a winning team using the transfer portal."
