"Thursday night's Mississippi-Georgia game was one of those seminally batshit evenings in a sport that generally likes to wallow in its own self-parodic seriousness, and not just because nobody could seem to figure out when it was supposed to end. The stage upon which the Rebels were supposed to receive the Sugar Bowl trophy after outpunching the Bulldogs came to resemble the 1982 Stanford Band in its ability to enter, leave, and then re-enter the field of play-twice-before the game could actually be declared officially over."
"Four Ole Miss assistants and two other staffers, including offensive coordinator Charlie Weis The Younger, have signed on to join Kiffin, the former Mississippi coach, on his new staff at LSU. But with the transfer portal opening today, allowing for the legal trafficking of any football player worth the bother, there is now a serious question about whether those coaches will have to leave their current team before its championship semifinal game to join their other current team in trying to seize players"
Thursday night's Mississippi-Georgia game ended with a chaotic finish that delayed the trophy presentation as people repeatedly entered and re-entered the field. Ole Miss defeated Georgia 39-34 in a contest alternating between brilliance and zaniness. The stage confusion produced images of players unable to celebrate until officials resolved the ending. Four Ole Miss assistants and two staffers accepted positions on Lane Kiffin's new LSU staff. The opening of the transfer portal raises questions about whether those coaches must leave before the championship semifinal to recruit players.
