Explain to me how an SEC National Championship by a team other than LSU directly contributes to LSU victories in the future.


I am a life long die hard LSU fan, but after that I pull for the SEC. There are recruits who just want to play in the SEC. If any other SEC team wins the NC it keep the SEC's perception alive and if a SEC team wins the NC they get more money.. Bowl money is put in one big pot and split up evenly between all 14 SEC teams.. So that gives LSU more money. If anything.. It doesn't hurt.

I too feel that 'pull' sometimes. I've never succumbed on a general basis. But after years of being 2nd tier SEC (under Slive) and then the SEC front office shennanigans with bridge schedules and this year's UF game debacle, there is no 'family' to speak of. Or no feeling of family; the 'pull' is long gone for me personally.

Now the structure of the SEC is great. I damn sure don't want to see LSU leave the SEC especially because of that revenue sharing. It definitely makes all schools better, thus the conference better, which then comes full circle. The people that would prefer the Bevo 12 amaze me.

But I'm a zero sum game guy; if Bama (or Ole Miss, or Arky) is winning we're losing (in my mind). It's great SEC gets and splits those revenues from having a champion. But I want it to be LSU. Anything else is bad (in my mind). I realize not all feel that way. But some, like me, aren't afraid to admit homerism and jealousy or want LSU to do something about it.

I don't think you can convince me that we shouldn't use every practice for the backups and red shirts to get extra reps.

Who are you to tell a multimillion dollar coach how long he should practice?

This was a bowl game. The players earned the trip and deserved time to see the sights and to enjoy the trip.

LSU totally dominated the Heisman winner and you are whining about not practicing enough.

I cannot see it but some seem to believe that. PLEASE EXPLAIN IT SO THAT EVEN I CAN UNDERSTAND IT!!!

Oweo came close to explaining it. The biggest money generator is the tv contracts. The SEC Network is a gold mine! Evenly split among SEC teams and the SEC Office. Vanderbilt gets the same amount of money as does LSU.

Any SEC teams representing well keeps us in the minds of high school players nationwide. It gets the SEC the better players, we have better teams and we get better tv contracts.

As much as I hate to see it, Alabama playing in the National Championship every year is PR that money can not buy.

You are a complete idiot! Mike Slive made the SEC what it is today, the premier college football conference. How could you not know that? How old are you?

The SEC dominated the BCS era! And we are in the hunt every year with the new format.

My son and I had this conversation yesterday while watching the game and head said quote "Coach Saban believes in quick crisp practices, if you executed and did it right he would get you all the field."
Hey played for Saban

So you think Alabama winning a NC is good PR for LSU?

You think that when Alabama wins a NC that athletes see that and say "you know what I want to play at LSU"?







That is the dumbest shite statement I've ever fricking heard.

No one is a bigger recruiting rival of ours than Alabama is and you want them to have ANOTHER ring to flash to an 18 year old kid in West Monroe?

You're pathetic. It's fricking sad. Every game they win makes it harder to recruit. Every recruit they get makes it harder for us to beat them. If yall can't see that then you're beyond help.

frick you. WE were second tier in the SEC during most of Slive's time.

"But after years of being 2nd tier SEC" is much different than...
"But after years of being in the 2nd tier SEC"
fricktard.

And old enough to have gone to Bama vs UF first ever championship game in '92, that Slive basically "invented".

I love when people make grand sweeping statements like this like they have an "all-knowing" perspective.

So I'm assuming that ANY coach, throughout history, that hasn't taken advantage of the practices, is INSANE?

You might want to do some research. It's not that big of a deal.

Your emotional IQ tells everyone a lot about you. Don't you understand that intelligent people understand how immature you are?

Alabama can only give 25 scholarships a year. Are you saying there are only 25 good players nationwide every year?

Why does ESPN list the top 300?

I'll try.

That was 2.5 months ago in a nola.com article. No promises

I can tell you that one of the comments was that LSU was sort of mimicking NFL practices: more time in film room, less on field to keep players fresh but more opportunities to teach

O knows how to prep a team.

Even the NFL scouts raved about it during practices during Bama week

Well I guess I'm pretty safe from you figuring it out then.

But no we couldn't use Cam Robinson this year at all. Left Tackle wasn't a problem position this year. Our offensive line dominated alabama this year right?

Tim Williams certainly couldn't help this team at all. We didn't have depth problems at that position.

No Nick Saban doesn't regularly snatch a top recruit or two per year from our backyard.

He didn't just steal two top linebackers in the state when that's our biggest need this signing class.

And I'm sure he never once mentioned their Championships while doing it.

Get the frick out of here. Figure out how college football works before you speak to the adults.

Alabama still gets only 25 scholarships a year.

Are you saying this country produces only 25 good players every year?

Do you think LSU isn't telling prospects that we are DBU?

Do you think LSU doesn't tell prospects that we have more active players in the NFL than anyone else, including Alabama?

Do you think Odell Beckham JR doesn't come up when recruiting receivers?

Fournette/Guice?

This is "how college football works".

Everyone had an equal shot at establishing a football dynasty.
We had Saban as head coach at LSU and couldn't keep him.
Blame the LSU admins for letting him get away.
