re: We’re going to be alright

You're melting.

LSU can set itself apart by continuing to hire the best coaches in the game and developing players better than any other program.

We will be fine but the next few years are going to be unsettling as things get situated with NIL and the market fluctuation

---

The next 2 years will likely be the best recruiting hauls in LSU history in a 2 year span.

quote:

---

We aren't what pro leagues would call a "large market" program.

---

we are a large market program. Being a large market program and being the Dallas Cowboys are 2 completely different things.

quote:

---

Don't have to be to maintain what we are. A very good program with perceived elite potential. We've been elite exactly twice in our history(and didn't win the title in 11). 03 is debatable and 07 laughable(in terms of being elite).

---

What a complete dickwad dumbass. Outside of Clemson, Bama, and now UGA, every other university would have killed for our 01-11 era.
2 national championships
3 national championship appearances
4 conference championships
5 conference championship appearances
6 11+ win seasons

quote:

---

To me the question remains, have we placed expectations of the program on an unreachable pedestal? I believe we have. The gift and curse of 3 titles. NIL will increase the height of that pedestal in the short term imo

---

LSU has the same expectations as UGA for a reason. So many of you want instant success instead of a firmly built program.

quote:

---

The state isnt productive enough in every area to fully support an elite program. Particularly if NIL lessens our monopoly on the talent.

---

LSU has enough money to do it the way they want to do it. Get elite players, get good players, get low ranked but high potential players, guys who want to be here, and develop them all. Something many of you whiny assholes tend to never talk about is that LSU has yet to lose a player they really wanted to another university based purely on money. See unlike many fools like you, they understand retaining your good players is the way to go. Not one LSU starter has tested the NIL market. When you grab character kids, show them that developing them for a high paying future over the most upfront money is the way to go, you have way less hassles in the long run. LSU's model will prove to be extremely successful over time. You're just the typical blind mouse who can't see the vision.

I really wish the Admins would make a seperate board only for whiny children so the adults can talk like "sane" recruiting fans. All this bitching every day for the last couple of years is extremely fricking annoying.

And you proceed to post absolutely no evidence whatsoever to back up your ridiculous statement. LSU is:
-in a major city, especially for college football, in a major football state
-one of the highest grossing athletic programs in the country
-an excellent brand with a ton of pro representation
-regularly top 3 in the SEC and top 5 nationally in football attendance
-very flush with major money donors

You are fricking retarded if you don’t think LSU would be in the top 10 if you researched “major market college football program factors” and averaged them out.
