So I guess that means good times are around the corner?

More like the end of the DiNardo years. That was before the good times were around the corner.

With the Lane buzz I think a lot of people will drop in late and attend

It’s 9 am on a Saturday when LSU is playing WKU so it’s a little early. I’m still at home and probably won’t get there until 1030ish. There’s probably a lot that are doing the same so just relax.

Playing the equivalent of a preseason game in the second to last game of the season is awesome!!!

I know Dinardo never delivered the big pop, but the man deserves some flowers.

He brought the magic back. He brought the whites back. He convinced 3 to stay in Louisiana. He had a team that was poised to compete on a national level before Cecil did Cecil things and the wheels came off.

The team this year is more reminiscent of the DiNardo years. Potential is there, which makes the disappointments more acute. With Hallman, we never expected to win.

The game will not be a blowout. LSU will win, but it will be more like 27 - 14, where we score late to seal the victory.

When you're right, you're right. Those who laugh are young and uneducated on LSU football history.

Ok thanks so much for correcting me you a-hole. I didn’t realize the way I saw things was so wrong. I was referencing the general vibe at LSU not the lack of people out getting wasted. So frick your face … and relax.

Yup. Dinardo’s downfall was hiring and refusing to fire Lou Tepper. Talent wise the team was in good shape.

No it’s not about being a pussy. It’s about the choade keyboard warrior that has a desperate need to correct every thing and everyone to affirm their own relevance.

Crowd picking up a little.. we are overcast but looks like clearing.. a quick shower but you had to run around if you wanted to get wet.. looks like going away?… band is practicing over in practice field so you can hear them.. I see Mardi Gras Mike parked up at the top in front of enchanted forest.. guys throwing beads.. some new small set ups popping up.. looks like families coming in with small kids.. that is nice
