Everything except spend money and build the best football team we can. But no- let's blame the lack of players on the d-line on the third string QB. It's just dumb. It's not even logical if you say it out loud.

Ole Miss on the other hand- they give money. They hired a qualified coach in Kiffin. They didn't cut corners. They didn't say don't spend money on that Chambliss guy because if Simmons goes down we're screwed anyway.

And our fans don't see the difference. They just keep looking for ways to cut corners and not spend money.

And with the full control he had, Lame overstocked on WR's and TE's who never saw the field when he could have gotten a few OL or some more defensive guys...........sounds familiar

If we have a pot of 20 million that needs to get spread around in some form or fashion to 85 players, guess what, you need to make a decision on where it goes.

I don't want to spend a bunch on a backup that can't actually be a difference maker. There is no point.

At some point you have to push your chips in the middle and roll with paying 25-30 kids and shoot your shot, especially when you have a playmaker at QB.

The goal is to have a special season, move the needle. The program needs this.

You can't play it safe and think, well we need a decent backup so lets go spend on a Van Buren type of backup as opposed to taking that money and landing an impact WR or DE. A quality backup QB will cost more than an elite player at another position. QB prices are out of control right now.

I don't want to back at the end of the year and see a player making a bunch of money that played mop up duty on a 7-5 or 6-6 team. I would rather shoot for a 9-3 type season and risk that if KT gets hurt we probably will be a 3-4 win team. I mean, that is where we have been the last 3 years and there is no guarantee that a backup QB makes a difference in SEC play. I doubt it would.

Then we need to find a way to raise more money. And I think we can because we have made some amazing strides in that just in this one season alone not to mention since Charlie took over the BI in 2022 I think it was.

It's hard to argue with their success though. Their defense and offensive line have been fine recently.

If there was a year to do this, it is def now. Chambliss is going to have every D2 starter thinking they can come in and beat out a mid level starter y1 and parlay into a 7 figure deal y2. That was an outlier but we can take advantage of it

I think making fun about what they did over there looks pretty stupid. Whatever he did, we need to try and do the exact same thing.

i just repeated what the shartt fans told me. they think they will be even better under lil petey
