Quote from: Borenutz on Jan 06, 2026, 10:09 AMI don't really get that. I mean I don't want them to win because I just don't like them and they're in my backyard so I have to listen to a lot of them. But, is them winning it going to make it worse? They are already plucking whoever they want off our roster every year. I don't think them winning the baseball title gave them any leg up on us, except we covet something they have and feel we should rightly have gotten before them. They have built a better brand than us by hiring a good AD, who gives a shit about winning and in turn hires good coaches. We keep dipshit AD's who say we things publicly like we can't win in football and fumbles coaching hires and end up with loser coaches. Until we change that, it doesn't really matter, we're going to get leftovers or hope to find D2/3 diamonds that we can develop for serious programs to recruit. While it sucks and it's a tough pill to swallow, we aren't winning recruiting battles against ole Miss whether they win the natty or not.

Every achievement they knock out and every year that status quo in administration and coaching continues makes the gap widen.

Until they give us a product to be vested in, they can kick rocks. I'll stay tuned in for basketball and baseball until then.

The doom and gloom in this thread does not seem to be warranted.

Give it a year. The Ole Miss train will crash & burn, and they will revert to their rightful place.

Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here.

Someone on this staff needs to see if this chick has eligibility

What is DC Ron Roberts doing? It's a little concerning none of the UF guys wanted to follow him here.

buff2.0 · Jan 06, 2026, 01:41 PM

I forgot that Ole Miss hired Frank Wilson

What are you talking about? We're going to have the best class ever! RS said so himself!

I have tried to take the wait and see position on RS, but I'm about to portal over to darksider status.

AND...

If that kid from Arkansas turns out to be a decent QB for Utah, I'm going to be extremely disappointed

I'm still taking a wait and see approach to our on the field performance (or lack there of) but that was an idiotic statement for him to make.

Yeah, I don't understand why you don't take a chance on a kid from Arkansas that won like 59-1 games from 9th grad on and has basically begged to be reruited. I know he's smallish for a QB but obviously he knows how to win. If it doesn't work out then he can move on and you kept a fence around the state.

Yeah, I really don't get the lack of trying for him... It makes no sense at all to me. On top of that, aren't we down to like one QB now?

vegashog · Jan 06, 2026, 03:56 PM

no,we just signed another qb.

as far as taking a chance on archer, the same question could be put to every other sec team.

That's right, we did. He looks good too. Nice size, good arm. Okay, I stand corrected. I'll move on.

Meh, I don't fault RS for that. Pittman's the one who didn't recruit him worth a shit. That ship had sailed by the time RS got our job.
