re: DBU origins? Was it Corey Raymond?
Posted by TDlurker on 1/18/24 at 9:08 am
Have always hated the "DBU" thing. Makes it sound like LSU is some niche upstart. LSU is "Football U." The only thing ever missing was legendary QB play, and now we have that....

[quote]They are mutually the same.[/quote] No they are not the same. Saban was a great hire for LSU, but he was only here for 5 years. He’s been gone for almost two decades, yet LSU had enjoyed sustained success - success that would be even more spectacular but for Saban working directly AGAINST LSU...

[quote]Skip had a lot to do with it but Saban was the one that demanded that we upgrade our facilities.

If you're looking for a coach to credit with LSU's success
Posted by TDlurker on 1/11/24 at 9:26 am
It's probably Skip Bertman more than Nick Saban. I was there. I still remember Skip's 2001 barnstorming tour. Fans were furious with the price of everything going up (to pay for Saban's salary + spending spree), but Bertman was lecturing us that the screws were only going to get tighter. I remember...
re: Does LSU have any National Chsmpionship other than ‘58 if Saban doesn’t come to LSU?
Posted by TDlurker on 1/10/24 at 7:20 pm
[quote]1, maybe 2 more. 2011 for sure. 2012 potentially.[/quote] Alabama won the SECCG 9 times under Saban. LSU was the SECW team Alabama beat out in most of those, and that doesn’t count 2011. LSU had a fence around Mobile (thanks to Saban) before he left Miami, and that doesn’t count an endless ...
re: Does LSU have any National Chsmpionship other than ‘58 if Saban doesn’t come to LSU?
Posted by TDlurker on 1/10/24 at 5:14 pm
LSU went from paying coaches a few hundred thousand, to making Saban the 2nd highest paid coach in football the day he arrived in BR, with a contract that automatically made him the highest paid if he won a NC, which he did. LSU built Saban a new building, and the finest football facilities in the ...

Posted by TDlurker on 12/11/23 at 12:32 pm
Ole Miss 2023 joins TAMU 2018 as the most shameful college football contests LSU has participated in. The only solace is that even the winners should be embarrassed for having been a part of them. Those games are a stain on the sport. Crap like that is how soccer creeps up....

re: The more you watch the reactions to the FSU snub….
Posted by TDlurker on 12/6/23 at 9:55 am
At LSU, we've seen some incredible defensive units, and what we saw from FSU's defense in the ACC championship game was something special. On that performance alone, FSU deserved a spot. Louisville's entire offense consisted of:
- 50 plays that netted -8 yards total.
- A single coherent drive th...
Disinterested fan perspective: FSU defense deserved it
Posted by TDlurker on 12/4/23 at 3:57 pm
Not dissing Alabama or Texas, but just as a college football fan, what we saw from FSU's defense in the ACC championship game was something special, IMHO. It felt that way watching the game, so I looked at the drive chart, and it was even more special than it looked. Louisville's entire offense con...
re: How close do you think we are, realistically?
Posted by TDlurker on 12/1/23 at 4:09 pm
Everything is going to change in the next 9 months, and the difference between being a top 1~3 team versus a top ~10 team won't mean what it does today. 24 months ago, LSU hired away the coach from arguably the most storied program in all the land. Yes money, but Kelly also realized that realignment...
