Let’s relax. Last night was not that unexpected.

-We are made up of mostly transfers, which means the talent is good/ serviceable, but not elite. When that’s the case you need the elite coaches. Ours are good/serviceable not elite.

You can’t build a real contender with the portal in 2 years. You need 4 no matter how you get them.

Kelly still needs time. He said he thought we a year away talent and depth wise.

Last night I think he was honestly surprised that his coordinators got out coached. He had more faith in them. He will correct or replace them.

Last night was very unexpected, how can you say otherwise?

After last night, we may be 10 years away.

We are actually ahead of schedule - defending SEC West champions.

And moving backwards if you look at our 4 most recent games. But we did beat up on Purdue!

Realistically, you are right. The media hyped us up though, and it's concerning that Brian Kelly was surprised but I guess I appreciate his honesty. Our team sucks

Ever heard of Jared V, Fiscke, Keon Coleman, they look like transfers to me.

Kelly won the SEC West last season. You think Deion is going to top that?

Sanders will be brought back to earth this. He will have at least 4 losses this year.

i'll give him that. i would expect a new dc for you guys next year if what happened last night keeps up.

i think everyone knew your secondary was average at best(for an sec defense), but i think the most alarming thing was the oline play.

We have mid SEC level talent i.e. typical Arkansas/Auburn level talent and we played a team that has a once in every 7-8 year roster that can legitimately compete for a national championship.

We should never expect to get blown out like we were last night.

TCU literally went to the national championship after doing it in 1 year.

He should probably start recruiting some defensive linemen then..

TCU caught lightning in a bottle at the end of last season.

They now have given up more than 100 points in their last 2 games.

Great. Do you consider a team playing in the national championship a “real contender” for the national championship?

Ok. Did you think LSU was a real contender in 2011? As a matter of fact, what teams from last year do you consider real contenders?

2022 TCU would have lost 4 games against 2011 LSU’s schedule. Maybe 5.

Yes! 2011 was a great team. You’re missing the point.
TCU didn’t win their conference. Bama was the better team. They should’ve been in. Michigan would beat them 7 out 10 games last year. They were lucky. Georgia proves it!!

1) You have no way of knowing that but ok.
2) You didn’t answer either of my questions.
