So if the refs had ruled St. Brown's forward progress stopped right before he intentionally fumbled, it looks like there might be 2-3 seconds left. Lions get one more play in that case, correct? Or is there also a time runoff which ends the game anyway?

Hate that they gave up these two garbage TDs
Tomlin teams are good for 2-3 games per year giving up multiple garbage time TDs and either making it look close or actually risking the loss.

I'm actually amazed the coaching staff had the brains to take the fg instead of burning off the rest of the clock on a few deep shots and leaving absolutely no time even if they did recover the kick.

Yeah, whatever you think of Kiffin, I don’t think he did a thing wrong here. He stayed until his team played its last regular season game. He didn’t talk about it all so it wouldn’t become more of a distraction. He isn’t the one who made it a distraction.
He then made and announced his decision quickly. He tried (or said he tried) to stay to coach the playoffs. He wanted to take some coaches with him, which any coach who likes his assistants would. the guy was the hottest candidate in this coaching season. He got a nice payday.
a. He didn’t ruin his team’s season.
b. He didn’t drag all this out.
c. He didn’t smear Ole Miss.Not sure what else anyone thinks he should have done. He’s not the one who created the drama. And I am not suggesting I feel sorry for him.
Trying to blackmail Ole Miss into letting him coach the playoffs via threatening to poach as many players and staff immediately was a pretty shitty move. There's been no pushback from Lane regarding those threats, including telling the other coaches to get with him on the plane to BR this afternoon or they won't have a job.
This of course also requires that you give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't make his decision until today (I call bullshit here) as well as his desire to coach Ole Miss in the playoffs is due to his loyalty to the players and not for his own ego (I call bullshit here as well if that's going to be his claim).

“staffers embedded within the program for the purpose of monitoring and reporting on the head coach.”
A guy born in the Soviet Union like Golesh should feel right at home.
Hold on, so you're telling me you'll have people spying on me all the time and keeping tabs on everything I do, but failure results in paying me millions to do nothing instead of defenestration/a firing squad? Where do I sign?

This really does beg the question of "what does the playoff committee do with Ole Miss?"
Either they keep them in as an easy speed bump of an opponent for a favorite big name school that kinda sucks (Notre Dame)
Or
They kick them to the curb and leave them out all together, which allows a team like Texas/Bama/Miami to sneak in. It wouldn't be unprecedented with the way they treated Florida State in the past, but it would make for much better football games.
Middle ground. They drop them from 7 to 9-10 and give ND/OU/Bama a home game in the 1st round.
FSU was already arguably the last team in, so the committee had fewer options.

I don't get it. Isn't LSU just as poor as ole miss? Any claims of higher NIL budgets and so on are probably just lies.
We keep hearing how complete morons like Miles and Orgeron won national titles at LSU so it'll be easy to keep pulling top recruits and win for someone like Kiffin.
Of course, none of these arguments ever acknowledge all of this was done pre-NIL.

He’s going to poach them anyway. What a cunt.
Nono, if Ole Miss lets him stay through the playoffs, he won't actively try to pull players and other coaching staff with him to LSU. Sure, they might choose to follow him out of loyalty and adoration, but that's completely different from coaching.

Well us getting left out maybe moves it to a 16 team playoff and it won't matter if we have 3 losses going forward.
Can't wait till the rage filled arguments 5 years from now when a 4-loss Texas/Bama/tOSU gets left out because of a marquee non-conference loss.
"The SEC and Big-10 need to break away and form their own league if the NCAA doesn't expand to 24 teams or get their shit together! Biggest travesty in the history of the world!!!"

Dumb question amnesty, what exactly is expected when the committee says you "won't be punished" for scheduling a tough OOC game that results in a loss? It seems like people are asking to completely disregard the loss and treat it as if Texas only has two losses, and then compare them against other 2-loss teams, in some cases where they have H2H result. Asking to go that route seems like an unrealistic expectation.

Would have been icing on the cake if one of the Baltimore players got injured in the last minute of game time. Just kneel if you're going to run straight up the middle while down 18.

One question: will this version of the CR have enough votes in the House?
House just needs a simply majority, right? Are the House Republicans stupid enough insist on the RIF and refuse to even hold a vote on healthcare when there's a 0% chance of it passing?

The truly sad thing is that there's decent odds some of the Dems actually had that plan. Shutdown just long enough to see if they can win some off-year elections, then immediately fold and assume the swing voters will continue blaming the Republicans.

LSU just needs to cut out the middle man and name Governor Boucher head coach with a White House staff member TBD as special assistant to the head coach.

Now we wait for the inevitable outcome of the 1st Circuit Court shrugging its shoulders for the next 48 hours and we're back here again by the end of the weekend.

Overall a solid night but i cant help but feel like it’s winning a tier two bowl game or NIT
Probably more like University of Florida fans right now. Could your school screw up the coaching hire again? Absolutely. But if the alternative was keeping Sunbelt Billy around for another 1.5 seasons, you're thrilled.

I'd just like to take this time to point out that outside of college football fans, current students of the University of Texas and Vanderbilt, and the alumni of those schools, the vast majority of the United States is unaware that Arch played very well this Saturday. Just saying.

Yes, nobody outside the very politically online knew that there was important democrary taking place tonight.
So much, so, that citizens of a deep red state contacted their state reps wondering why they weren’t voting and everyone else was not realizing their state isn’t in an election season or a special election.
Let's assume the original premise was correct. The only people that were aware of any of these elections were the people of those states and a very small minority online.
What would we need to be "politically honest" about? The NYC mayoral election holds less weight? California being able to re-district for the upcoming 2028 election is no longer a valid win for the democrats?
Sounds like someone trying to act like they're playing 5D chess and the rest of us are too stupid to realize it.

Of course would’ve loved a sweep in Toronto, but we did what we needed to, got the split and took home field back to LA.
So did the Blue Jays in all likelihood. Asking for anything more than a split from Yesavage and Gausman wasn't realistic. They also have proof of concept that they can hit the Dodgers bullpen.
Asking to get 1 of 3 in LA is also reasonable. See if they can get it back to Toronto and hope for some real luck.

Best case for the Warriors regarding Steph returning is maybe game 5 at the earliest?

I'm not trying to be glib, but it's hard to even fathom how Houston lost this game. Got toasted by GPIII.
Jimmy Butler school of dark arts. The role players on his teams seem to overperform at a significantly higher clip than expected in the playoffs.
