Oh fuck you're gonna make me call the hogs.

Give me this guy, Metcalf, Roberson, the UAB and Auburn receivers and I'll renew season tickets.

Supposed to get a DT from Mississippi State then sounds like we're done.

Our state media keep hyping up every single transfer as some kind of a massive pick up for us.

That guy really would be.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Tulane and Maryland corners look like great pickups and the OT from Louisiana. Kentucky DE has production in this league.

Quote from: DirkPiggler on Jan 09, 2026, 10:11 AMWhere did we all of a sudden get this money that we're using to clean up in the portal right now? 

I'll answer for you.  It was available all along.  Decisions like hiring Pittman, giving him a prohibitive buyout when we were only competing against ourselves for his services, then keeping him at least two years after he should have been fired kept the people who were holding onto that money from making it available.  It would have been like piling it up on the fifty yard line and setting it on fire. 

Making those kinds of decisions show that you aren't serious about competing in the sport.  You can call that stupid if you want, but judging by just how quickly the money came back it appears that the people with the ability to influence outcomes agree with me (and pretty much everyone here but you).  Call it something different if it makes you feel better, but it's still the same thing. 

As for borrowing it, that's exactly what the team we saw last night did to jump start their ascent.  It's not my preferred method and isn't something we would have had to do if our AD was managing things properly, but to dismiss it as an option is ignorant.  I don't think anyone at Ole Miss regrets the decisions that got them here.

Here, here.

We have vastly improved over the last couple of days.

I don't care who we pick up on the defensive side of the ball. They will be better than the bunch we rolled out there this year.

Picked up a TE from BC and Bama. Former 4 star who was the #2 player in Tennessee and picked Bama over a slew of SEC schools.

Not much in the way of stats but projects well and has 3 years of eligibility.

Yet another reason we need a new athletic director as it should not have taken 8 years to get to this point.
And the 4 bot members who think he's is doing a great job need to go too.
Check your damn blood pressure!

Without details it's meaningless. Did they provide him with blow? Haze him? Withdraw a scholarship? Fail to text enough times? Insult his mother?

the qb hendrix is going to reclassify and be on the hill in may.
