This might be the first and only time I’ve seen this sub on the side of the SEC

Leave it up to Lane Kiffin to bring the world together.

This timeline is insane.

I just want to watch my football team play games and hopefully compete for Natty’s occasionally. I knew hiring Kiffin would be a wild dog and pony show, but goddamn, I didn’t expect to take off this out of control this fast…

I just don't understand why he's willing to go 15 rounds over this. When has getting good players ever been an issue for y'all? Seems like a big risk for a small reward.

For the same reason all other children push boundaries. To see what happens. Personally I hope he actually goes through with it and reality runs in from backstage with a steel chair as Clemson walks off the field and the following morning LSU finds out it is no longer an SEC member institution. He's a big boy now. It's time he learns.

Lane just has a big hardon for Jack Pyburn.

I never thought I would be more happy he left Oxford.

In the sub's defense, this is also a rare case where the SEC winning is both a) good for the sport and b) potentially bad for the SEC.

outside of the ever expanding playoffs sankey has generally been great for the sport, unless youre a big12 fan.

And in 48 hours, it will feel like it never happened

They are probably just rooting against Kiffin.

Kinda like how I root against USC when they play Texas.

I mean, if this is what it takes to clean up this shitshow, then I'm on the side of the SEC, too. This has been a nightmare for all the LSU fans I know. LSU learned nothing from Texas Tech.

I feel for the 2022 class that got screwed out of a year of eligibility, but the counterpoint is that they are the only class that will ever suffer this problem. It sucks for them, but it's the best outcome for the sport.
