Sometimes, things just don't work out. What is it they say about plans when the first shot is fired?
Ole Miss blew it yet again when a program-building game was on the line. Ole Miss could have been playing for it all but Lane had to be Lane. Going for it on fourth down and failing multiple times, screwy play calls, and a lineman running off tackle instead of up the middle. Every time Ole Miss has a chance to finally move up to the next level such as the 2003 and LSU game and the 4th and 25 game, it blows it.
Just think, if the refs hadn't stolen the LSU game, the Gamecocks would be 9-2 and in the playoff. Who would've thunk it, right?
Chris Fowler summed it all up in his nightcap.

The nail in the coffin was the 4th quarter where Dart threw and interception. They called it back and gave it back to Ole Miss. Dart then threw another interception. He is a headcase. How long until the "Lane loves Ole Miss and he is here forever" people start the "Fire Kiffin" chants.
Once again, the Rebels snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!
Crying like that at the end. Flashback to Thurman Thomas. Kiffin is immature, undisciplined, and somewhat soft. The teams reflect the coach. Ole Miss's problem this year is it was not mentally tough.
Kiffin is an arrogant asshole prick.
Agree with you KF @ 8:41am...been saying that for long time. The boy is soft!
I'm sure Mr.Portnoy is thrilled with Alabama's lack of performance.
I'm a long time Bama fan, but that abomination of a game they put on Saturday night was unreal. Let me add, the honeymoon with Coach Deboer is over.
The after game press conference failed to accept the responsibility for the lack of competitive performance.
@9:57 got it right - spot on.
Can someone please explain to me why Kiffin put that little wide receiver at running back and kept Bentley on the bench?? Bentley has proven what he can do in big games. It was very obvious early on that the kid he put back there was grossly overmatched. With him at RB, Ole Miss was no threat to run.
Not Lane
Someone compared Lame to RAINMAN. So I went back and watched some of the movie RAINMAN. DUDE IS SPOT ON RAINMAN!!!
Anyone DNA that kid?
Estimates of NIL money between $10-18 million dollars spent on this team. This is what they produced. If there ever was a year for Ole Miss to win it all, this was going to be it. Now the fans have to dig deep and fund the Grove Collective and hope they can get the talent bought. The players on the team this year will more than likely jump ship to another school in homes of collecting more NIL money. Sadly, this is college football these days and is why I cancelled my season tickets. I just isn't worth it to me anymore.
Any guess as to how many of these “play for pay” NIL starters will opt out of the bowl game? It’s all about the money now.
Kiffin is of the "gentle parenting" generation, where the intention is - above all - for the players to love their coach who is always "fair" to them. The results speak for themselves.
