Saturday Night Thoughts

Can we please stop pretending Billy Napier is some elite coach? He’s Butch Jones without the trash can.

A&M hiring Mark Stoops is basically Jimbo with a bourbon company.

Moo U hiring Lebby is perfect. Can’t wait for him to stand on his business of “running the program for most of 2020 and 2021”. Feels like some sobering reality is heading his way.

Missouri now only has ONE top 25 win and that win is a Tennessee team that has no business in the rankings. Yet because we have to have a tv ratings palooza for half the season they will hold onto their nine spot. Meanwhile Ole Miss will have a top 15 and more than likely top 20 win. The College Football Playoff Committee epically failed us this year.

See you all at the Citrus Bowl, let’s hang 40 on Iowa.

Rhett Lashlee

Does anyone try to get him away from SMU this year?

SMU just went 8-0 in the AAC. Sits at 10-2 with losses to TCU and Oklahoma.

#11 in Total Offense
#6 in Points per Game

#15 in Total Defense
#16 in Points Allowed per Game

Last year was Lashlee's first year and SMU went 7-6. This year, 10-2 regular season with the AAC Championship game next weekend, so a chance to go 13-2 on the year, depending on bowl game.

Is he doing that good of a coaching job or does SMU just have more money to acquire talent in the portal, etc. than their (ok, our) peers in the AAC?

Grove Collective

I’m about to make @Reb Talking18 happy

I hope we aren’t complacent and content with where we are. 10-2 is awesome, but things are getting really real now with the 12 team playoff. This is the time for us to step up. We never have enough. No matter what we give, it’s not enough. Every little bit counts though. We have to keep pushing. This league is only getting harder.

A few months ago @The Grove Collective had a one week event to raise money. There were giveaways and different incentives to give. Seems like we raised a few million that week. That needs to happen again to finish this class (HS/Portal). It shouldn’t be hard to get Dart and Judkins to sign some footballs to give away. Do something like if you give a one time $250 donation you will be entered to win a 5 minute phone call with Lane Kiffin where you can ask him anything or something like that. I don’t know, just throwing out some ideas.

I know a lot of people gave after the egg bowl, and that was awesome. I just think when everybody pushes in the same direction at the same time, it motivates people to give that normally wouldn’t. Another event with incentives to donate would be smart as this time in my opinion.

Let’s use 10-2 and the 12 team playoff and expanded SEC as motivation to help Lane have the resources needed to field an even better team next season.

Grove Collective: Just bought two of these…

WE RUN THE SIP!​


Feeling 10-2 this Saturday! In honor of our win in the 119th Egg Bowl, we created a limited-edition graphic T-shirt because We Run The SIP.

Every $65 donation to the Grove Collective in the next 72 hours, celebrating our 65th win vs. State will come with this exclusive t-shirt.

As always, every dollar of these donations goes directly to Ole Miss athletes through the Grove Collective NIL.

Only 100 in stock – orders will be in hand for Christmas!

Sorry, I am not very good at linking, but thought some people who pledged donations to the GC for our Egg Bowl win might want a T-Shirt or two for their donation. You can always use it when washing your car or cleaning the house LOL.

And if you already have too many bad T-Shirts, please give anyway! We know we are undoubtedly going to have to fight off some last minute offers for some of our DL recruits and we desperately need some OL out of the portal to keep this thing going. The cost of poker is definitely going up and this is a critical time for us to reload.
