It’s a business.

Recruiting - fun as hell to follow for yokels like us, but this shite is big business guys. LSU football made something along the lines of $55M of profit on $145M in revenue last year. That’s crazy money. This year will be even bigger. Big business means big time strategy and in Ed’s case, a bold strategy. His strategies so far have been pretty fricking successful. He made some strong recruiting moves and landed a very solid class with some very big fish. He missed on 3-4 big fish. Well, shite happens in business sometimes and WE have to have the stomach for it. For us, this is theatre but I think we all have to understand that Ed’s strategy had to include a contingency plan, and he’s got 2 months to execute it. Relax, he man has 6 spots to offer up to play for LSU for the next 4 years. We gonna get some solid kids. They may not be as good as the ones we missed on, but who knows, they might be better.

Either way, if you’re going to be the best you have to go get the best and be in on enough of them to fill the class. I think that’s what Ed will take away from this years class... that we were very successful recruiting nationally, but we needed to be in on more kids for backups. This was a very down year for Louisiana recruiting numbers, so with that I think so far O’s strategy has been great. Let’s see how it closes out.

Oh, and to whoever ran Vol off - thanks a lot dickhole, you’ve made this a much less interesting place.
