Lane Kiffin Rule? SEC reportedly adding warmup regulation
Lane Kiffin has reportedly led to an SEC rule change.
Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports shared Wednesday that the conference is passing a new regulation regarding warmups.
“SEC has officially passed a new regulation that all warm up activities — both pregame and after suspension of play — has to be either in the locker room or on the field. They cannot warm up in adjacent facilities, which Ole Miss did earlier this year,” Thamel tweeted, citing sources.
Ole Miss notably held pregame warmups in the team’s indoor facility instead of out on the field before facing Alabama. It was exactly one week ago that Thamel shared a change to the policy was being discussed by the conference. Thamel’s report notes that the new regulation also applies to second-half warmups.
Before the season, the NCAA made a rule that players must display jersey numbers during warmups, a policy change that frustrated Florida head coach Dan Mullen.
More weak sauce out of Birmingham specifically targeting a coach they simply don’t like.
Soft Eastern Conference.
Don’t forget the new rule that let’s a coach start the world’s biggest cock… I mean world’s biggest bar-room-brawl, at half time for a mere $25,000 dollars. See how that worked. Kiffin gets the $25,000 for talking about a call… Then Mullin gets the exact same fine fine acting out because of a no-call. This is the old trick “we saw… that and we can do it too…. and get more mileage out of it”. 99% back-fire so far, however
And it will turn worse the next time Florida takes as little as a loss of yards where the quarterback is in possession or recently in possession.
Not as entertaining but more practical. I learned my sophomore year that when two football teams use the same corridor to get to their locker rooms, it’s really best if you can be the last one in the tunnel. Because if so you are only player who can’t get a helmet blind smacked over the next by a cheap shot artist. And even better, when both teams boil back out of the dressing rooms, you are the last guy who has to get your fists up over it. lol. For pete’s sake Flor-duh who put your half time traffic flow plan together? Don King?
Was that really that big of an advantage? So I guess Ole Miss can just attach an indoor facility to the stadium locker room now?
It already is
Maybe since Lane worked for Saban, he knows Alabama films anything and everything the other team does. A tip Saban got from his good buddy Bellicheat. Lane was like I’ll show you Saban. You ain’t video taping these plays. Those plays, not on Bama’s film, almost cost them the game against Ole Miss. Saban complains to the SEC Office. SEC Office says oh $hit we can’t have Bama losing and make the new rule.
Yes sir! Well put. There is no doubt SEC personnel will put the wants of two teams from one particular state ahead of what’s right. Every. Single. Time.
“Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep.”
I doubt Bama is filming things but it’s well known that UGA and Bama (maybe others, I just know more about the staffing of those teams) have no shortage of analysts staffed who monitor everything within sight.
So to an extent your conspiracy theory is right that warmups are being watched by analysts who don’t have to run warmups for their own team, but filmed? I don’t think so.
Sec office — in the pocket of alabama – never will change
Why is Sec office in Bham anyway? Why not Nashville, Atlanta, or even Jackson?
Maybe they should move the SEC office to a different city every year (just to make everyone happy). Marines don’t cry, complain or pout.
Because they have a $1 per annum lease to be there.
Birmingham. The Magic City!!
Easier for Saban to pay off the lease since he already has other properties all across Birmingham city limits
The OVC office is in Brentwood, a wealthy Nashville suburb. Conference USA discussed moving here as well. The SEC would be welcome in Nashville, and Mr. Sankey has a good time when he’s in town. Just don’t put the office in Leipers Fork.
Why not ???? Best place for it. Nice and quiet, hard to get to, plus go to Pucketts everyday. Sankee would pit on 50 pounds from breakfast alone.
All foolishness aside, it needs to be OUT of Birmingham. I don’t care what they do to it.
Nashville would be better.
As a Tennessee guy, I can remember the first time the SEC came up with a Lane Kiffin rule and the first coach to get fined for it was Urban Meyer. Worth a laugh.
In other news, Kiffin today failed to wash his hands for a full 20 seconds before exiting the bathroom and will be fined an additional $25,000 by the SEC.
Dateline Oxford;
Ole Miss has renamed their practice facility the “Screw You Greg Sanka, Come Fine Me Now Lockers at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.”
Let’s face it…A young brash head coach who is not afraid to speak his mind does not blend-in with what Sankey wants in the SEC, so the league office will fine Lane Kiffin for the small things…to keep him “in his place” so to speak.
Amen!
The SEC made it very obvious who they value when they added the two additional conference games to the schedule. The wanted to make sure Alabama and Georgia got two weaker teams from the other side. It didn’t matter that by doing this they were giving Arkansas and Missouri a ridiculous schedule. They were only concerned in making sure Alabama, Georgia,and Florida were protected.
