Re: SEC wants change in CFP wants more at large spots

Consolidation is happening in spite of high viewership.
What is causing that?

2023 Defense

Is our D Line running at mostly odd numbers. Are we crowding the Los? Are we occasionally shooting gaps?
Are we playing responsible up front by denyiing clean access to the 2nd & third levels?
If the boys up front can execute a solid 2 gap we may be on to something.

Re: Ole Miss AD frustrated with Tulane

1-0, stay focused and win and we will have extended seating on the west, north & south sides. That should be enough to satisfy future opponents & conferences.

Re: Tulane among a number of schools filing to join the imploding PAC-12

We need to focus inward as a football team & fan base. Willy Fritz is a remarkable head football coach who is not chasing money/fame. The dude is a legend who's on the brink of continued success on Willow Street. Everybody can see this conference positioning for what it is: $$$$$! Coach Fritz wi...

Re: Tulane among a number of schools filing to join the imploding PAC-12

We need to knock-off not only our conference opponents but Big 2 teams within our current schedules. As long as the 12 team playoff format exists we're good for the next next couple of years. The "PAC 12" is a panic move right now and I think it will be a mistake.
1-0

Re: Teams being considered for the Big 12?

How good will the ACC be without Clemson, FSU, Miami, etc? It's gonna collapse like the PAC-12. I don't think the ACC will collapse. I also think the ACC would welcome a program that gives access to Mississippi, Louisiana & East/North Texas. Geographically the PAC-12 is facing a tough row to hoe.

Re: Teams being considered for the Big 12?

Between the rise of the P2, NIL & a nationwide collapse in football participation over the last 25 years it is very difficult to speculate on the future of college football. A conference championship post season playoff format for all FBS programs will be essential .
Just win!

Re: T Minus 30 Days - Are your ready?

We'll do alright if our DC & defensive staff can get the DB's & DL to dial-in a more aggressive scheme. We may have to revert to the bend but don't break scheme of 2022. We'll find out soon enough. Should be fun to watch.

There is more content being distributed and more broadcasting money at every level of college football. Doesn't a rising tide raise all boats?

The whole notion that the Big 10 is a premier conference is complete bullshit. They suck, no really they're terrible.

They got more than the previous contract, but I would contend that it would be higher if UT and OU were staying. That seems like common sense since they are premier programs and the others are not. one may be considered a "premier" program, OU has won 14 big 12 championships...Baylor and ...

Jadon Canady is on the Ole Miss roster because we are not developing key position groups to execute very difficult techniques (Cover Zero DB's & 2Gap DL). They need to be part of the DC's Kit and deployed effectively, or they won't work. If you see a pre-snap cover zero being deployed with D-Lin...

If the comments from our DC are true about a more assertive defensive play, it would have helped if this new DL coach had the spring drills to make the transition in technique.

There likely won't be any relegation. The top teams in those conferences want some easy wins in conference play especially as they go to 9 conference games.
