Alford leaving is really not that big of loss. But DJ leaving is huge! He had so much upside. This NIL and portal crap totally sucks. I just believe that schools like ours that don?t have daddy warbucks lined up to pay we will going forward lose more and more games because our inability to retain rising stars regardless of whom the coach is.

It?s really really sad that a college sport that I truly love and devote a lot of time and expense is being ruined. The NCAA has totally screwed this up. I?m pretty much fed up with this crap. I?ll be in Starkville a lot this fall not to support the football team but rather to support my granddaughter that will be a cheerleader.
