Our AD does not do anything unless told to do X.

100% they cancel the series after the home game there

See OU, Vanderbilt.

Vandy canceled before *any* games. Personally I’d offer Ole Miss just a home and home, not a 2:1. They signed a 1:1 with little ol’ Wake Forest (that won’t be completed, sure—but they still signed it).

In case I wasn't clear, two games at SMU and one at Oxford. Lane says they'd beat us every time, let them put their money where Lane's big mouth is.
UNC better keep that Ram away from Peruna

Lane will be gone before the games could be scheduled and played. Lane’s always a couple losses away from another meeting on the tarmac. He’s really not worth our time.

We really need to bulk up our Oline before we start trying to schedule these games though. They were exposed all year long as a huge weak spot. Imagining Kevin with a clean pocket brings hope we can compete with the big guys but until we can upgrade our lineman that won’t happen

Yeah I thought you meant the reverse. That would be a funny, and fun, offer.

Duke is likely going to get obliterated by Ole Miss in the Gator Bowl—2 of our 3 scholarship QBs are out, including the starter all year, Maalik Murphy—but at least I’m liking how distracted Kiffin has been by his CFP anger.

Appreciate Jason B all season! However, I'm not entirely sure the 'ball is a frozen rock' deal is a worthwhile argument. Penn St. had the same issues and didn't throw 3 ints. I did listen to some of the interviews that PP posted and it sounds like we wanted to be aggressive on play calls on offense. I suppose that's one approach. Avoiding mistakes and allowing the opponent to beat themselves while relying on defense (if it is a strength) is another.
