To USC is the rumor. He wanted 1 mil and state wasnt gonna pay that.

This might get funky.

# 1 QB
# 2 OL and DL
That is where a lot of games are won in the three positions. You can take a decent running back and he can run behind a good OL. Then center the rest of your roster around them.

Ignore everything that happens between the end of the regular season and the start of the next season. Just tune out, & see what happens come September.

Players leaving. New players coming in. It’ll be alright. Save your stress for the games.

Stepping away from Shark Tank and sold shares in the Dallas Mavericks…hmmm….

Maybe it always was ?

Didn’t do a lot of research but didn’t see anything.

THE START OF THE GOLDEN EGG
The Golden Egg was first proposed by members of Sigma Iota, an Ole Miss honorary society in 1927. Sigma Iota proposed that a trophy be awarded in a dignified ceremony designed to calm excited fans, after Ole Miss fans stormed the field at Starkville's Scott Field following the Rebels' 7-6 win in the 1926 contest. The 1926 win snapped a 13-game losing streak to then-Mississippi A&M, and was just Ole Miss' fifth win in 23 tries. Following the game, Ole Miss fans made a dash for the goal posts, while Aggie fans took after them with cane bottom chairs and fights broke out. The mayhem continued until most of the chairs were splintered. After Sigma Iota made its proposal, Mississippi A&M approved the suggestion, and Ole Miss, two weeks before the game, officially added its approval. The trophy, to be called "The Golden Egg," would be a regulation-size gold-plated football mounted on a pedestal. The cost of the $250 trophy was split between both schools. On Thanksgiving Day, 1927, the first "Battle of the Golden Egg" was waged before a crowd of 14,000 in Oxford. The Rebels won 20-12 and the symbol of supremacy in the series was born.

ORIGINS OF THE NAME
The term "Egg Bowl" can be traced back to 1978, when Executive Sports Editor of The Clarion-Ledger Tom Patterson decided to spice up the 1978 meeting. A year earlier, the Clarion-Ledger headline on game day had been "Egg Bowl Is Up For Scramble." With the Rebels and the Bulldogs 6-4 and both apparently out of the bowl picture heading into the 1978 game, Patterson instructed his staff to follow the "Egg Bowl" theme throughout the week. The result was a special section on Sunday, which recounted in great detail the Rebels' stunning 27-7 victory. While the game is still officially the "Battle of the Golden Egg," most members of the media now refer to the annual game simply as the "Egg Bowl."

SIAP: my Arky buddy says State is closing in on a package deal for the pair. Just passing along.

Staying at Oklahoma and not going to Starkville.. Per 24/7 site Lebby was not able to convince any of the on field coaches to join him.

Helped our defense that wasnt worn down in the 4th quarter and helped the roster that is not as deep as some others stay healthy. Tempo is awesome but you also have to have the ability to manage games/the clock and play complimentary football. We were more committed to that this year and it showed.

2022:
5th in offensive snaps at 78.8 per game
18th ESPN FPI offensive efficiency
51st ESPN FPI defensive efficiency

2023:
34th in offensive snaps at 72.1
17th in ESPN FPI offensive efficiency
30th ESPN FPI defensive efficiency:

Leaves them less money to chase new talent. They will have to make some hard choices.

Is calling out Iceberg and Rosebowl because Neal had the Lebby info before they could get breadcrumbs. He wasnt even trying to work the story and beat those clowns. Rosebowl is getting very defensive.

6-0…..well damn……is 6-0….

Just being in the playoff would be huge, but hard to imagine how crazy it would be for the town to host a first round playoff game

What all does he bring to the table? Positives/Negatives/Intangibles?

I am pretty sure this isn't shocking news. Assuming he will end up with Lebby.

LMAO
