Lane dropping a Nuclear Bomb on Oxford?

[FreshAsHail]

If he takes enough cheap shots at Ole Miss, they may decide to retaliate by releasing some dirt on Lanes extracurricular activity while at Ole Miss. seems like a bad strategy.

He is at LSU...You think they'll care?? Hell they'll probably praise him for it.

Seems inconsistent. If the national perception of UMiss isnt any different than the perception of Mississippi as a whole....then its perception is a bunch of confederate soldiers.

I guess my point is there isn't much perception of Ole Miss that is crazy above and beyond of what the perception of Mississippi and Mississippi state is.

But id agree with you on the state as a whole.

Yawn.

Lane Kiffin is doing his best impression of a Wrestling Heel generating heat.

All this is normal for him which is expected

Hate to burst your hate bubble, but black players coming from poor or bad situation would put on a confederate hat and wave the rebel flag in front of 60,000 fans every Saturday for the kind of money a lot of them are getting.

You're right, but the question is whether it takes a little extra money or other efforts to overcome whatever racist perception there is. I dont know the answer to that, since I've never tried to recruit someone to Oxford. But the old racist image could be an issue in recruiting even if you eventually sign a player.

Kiffin wasn't and isn't universally hated. He has a lot of fans around the country. Kiffin is a lightening rod both ways. I can't stand him, but that dates way back. My second team is USC.

Well nobody is universally hated. But I just googled most hated college football coach. First hit was from 2024 & had him #2, behind Deion.

Some zeros from the northeast, northern Illinois or California may say no to ole Miss and any other school in the middle of the old south, but not players and families from poor situations.

Im pretty sure UMiss isn’t losing black players because of their name or a mascot they dropped before these current players were born.

Which is why it is a shame that we don't promote what make us different, we are the most inclusive school, we have "The Game of Change" in basketball, and we even have the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library. All 3 things are poorly promoted and are positives that we are not taking advantage of. I refuse to accept that we are the same as Ole Miss just because some get us confused, in my opinion that is a branding issue that we could resolve.

How about we just promote us being a good university and 17 what a bunch of yankee kun ts think about us?

Was in Baton Rouge for a week soon after Kiffin was hired. General consensus of people I talked to was we hate him, but I guess he’s our coach now so I hope he wins.

a large part of this and similar threads are how Kiffin's comments are mistakenly associated to us as well. It's either an issue or it's not. if we don't care what the "yankee kun ts" think of us, why all of the hand wringing? If it is an issue as some believe, we should get out in front of it, and not just because of this incident.

I don't think its an issue.

Lot of people saying its an issue for OM.

I just think its kiffin being kiffin. OM pretty recruiting pretty darn good recently.

based on some of the tweets leaked on social media, they could smear the hell out of Kiffin if they get a willing coed to share some embarrassing details. He can’t sue here, she can embellish.

Never happen.

Glass houses and stones thing.

It’s no more racist and segregated than any other town in MS. As bad as you want it to be, it just isn’t. Lane pandering to the lowest common denominator hurts everyone involved and probably puts State in an unfortunate position because every dipshít that can’t figure the difference between State and OM will just assume either one is the racist environment that Lane claims “hindered” his recruiting efforts while he was the self anointed king of the portal.

you simply haven’t had to work in the poorest blackest parts of town to know how segregated it is. You simply haven’t to only listen to the people on the square to hear how racist they are.

worse than other towns in Mississippi? Maybe, maybe not. But for the town where James Meredith statue was noosed and two people died in the riots integrating ole missy, it’s pretty 17 ing racist.

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

Wow. Invoking James Meredith from mid-1960’s.
Look, all I know is they have had Top WR’s and Top Running Backs to go along with black offensive linemen a whole lot more talented than the ones State gets. So is our school considered to be living in the Confederacy still? From what I’ve seen regarding Ole Miss football and basketball, GREEN is the only color that matters.
Lane just taking parting shots because he got his wittle feewings hurt by the mean ole Miss fans!

They hate him the same reason we would. He coached at our rival. We would get over the hate pretty quick though when he had us in the playoff.

He is going to crash and burn. He can't just be a football coach. The added attention and publicity that he gets at LSU is going to be more than he can handle and he won't be able to keep his eye on the ball.

I'm beginning to think Lame is a female TikTok influencer trapped in a male's body who just happens to be good at x's and o's. This guy just can't behave like a normal adult. I'd be embarrassed to be associated with him.

I'm not sure how much good will we can squeeze out of the Grant Presidential library, but it is a fantastic troll job towards the Rebels.

I do wish more people knew about it.
