Revenue Sharing

So if/when that starts, I'm guessing next year's season. Does the NIL go away, and if it does, won't we be in the same position as before? obviously players get paid, but will there be big money boosters running money like before NIL? Bag men, under the table payments, ect? If so, I don't see how that will even the playing field for a school like Ole Miss. Seems it'll be back to the haves and have nots. Or am I missing something?

Lioness season 2

Season 1 was good until the end. Season 2 has been getting insane reviews so I figured I’d watch it.

Season 2 episode 1 might have been the most unrealistic and plot hole episode I have ever seen. How in the **** did Sheridan really script that and think “yeah. This will be good?”.

1. How’s the senators wife not see the killer in the hall.
2. What was the point of the QRF team killing the orange truck guys.
3. How they gonna kill a bunch of Mexican police and military and get away with it? Also they had trucks with .50 cals and didn’t kill them (I’m fine with this but the fact that they were killing Mexican military and police is too far fetched).
4. The masks? They put them on for 10 seconds then they didn’t wear them? Then were on the news?
5. They set up camp directly across the River from where they just escaped Mexican police?

TLDR: episode is horrible.

Numbers Don't Lie:

I know that we must move on but I had time to kill so I looked at the following stats for the teams ranked in the CFP top 15:

SOS
FP+
Scoring Defense
Scoring Offense

There is only one team ranked in the top 10 in all categories. That one team is your Ole Miss Rebels.
6 of the top 15 have a SOS ranked below 20th in the nation. Of those 6, 5 have an FP+ ranking of 10 or worse. Those 4 teams are: SMU, Indiana, Boise, Arizona State, and Miami.
Cam Ward was posting and bragging on social media about Miami's defense. Yea it ranks 61st in the country for scoring defense against the 28th ranked SOS.

So many teams don't belong in the discussion.

We really missed a golden opportunity this season.

Come take your victory lap if you were right about DeBoer...

I know enough Bama fans to know that their expectations are for DeBeor to just continue what Saban has built. That isn’t reality and when they go 9-3 next year they will already be calling for his head. The loss of Ryan Grubb is also huge from a football perspective. I give him two years.

I'm not predicting the downfall of Alabama football in general, but I do expect DeBoer to fail and potentially fail miserably. He has two years of coaching experience at the Power 5 level. Think more Scott Frost rather than Saban 2.0. He also lost Ryan Grubb who has been his O coordinator for over a decade and had to promote a 36 year old TE coach with two years of coordinator experience, which he ended up getting fired from Indiana for having the lowest scoring offense in the Big 10. 8-4 incoming for this year and they run him out of town in two years. Please credit.

Yep, it's his offense, but if Lebby had coached with Lane for over a decade and left suddenly and then Lane promoted the TE coach whose only coordinator experience was running the worst offense in the Big 10, we would all be worried. Bama thinks they are invincible and those days are over.

2 Thoughts on the Podcast Discussion

1) I'm not sure the regression from last year to this year was in the O-line. Judkins was covering up their problems all along.

Last year, Judkins had the lowest number of yards before contact of any qualifying running back in the SEC (1.36 yards). He led the conference in broken tackles (100). Yet, he finished second in total yards behind Schrader from Missouri. See: https://secstatcat.com/sec/rusher-stats.

(2) I'm not sure the decision to go for the 4th down is the moment that I would have running through my head coming out of the Florida game.

In my mind, the moments that I keep returning to are (1) the muffed punt (Defense dominated the first drive out of half, was going to have great field position and momentum, handed them 3 pts instead) (2) the Wells dropped TD and (3) the missed chip-shot FG. But of course, its hard to blame Kiffin or the teams psyhcology for any of those plays. Its just tough luck.
