After calm reflection

I still think LSU should evaluate leaving the SEC and joining the Big 12 or ACC. Do a business case analysis. There are people who do this for a living. It's too easy to say, "the money is too good, blah blah, LSU can't leave the SEC." It may very well be that the "money is too good" and LSU would be foolish to leave the conference. But I would at least study it and make it known to those assholes in Birmingham that you're studying it. And who knows, maybe the financial impact isn't what people assume it would be. Don't know until you study it.
Yes, the refs screwed LSU royally ... it was obvious and intentional. Part of it was that they are old dicks and were tired and wanted to go home. Reminded me of when my kid played little league and the ump's strike zone got a mile wide at 10 pm in the late innings. frick those old fricks. With no due respect.
LSU however had the opportunity, several in fact, to win the game -- throw a pass and get one more first down. Game over. Stop them on 4th and 18. Stop them on last play of regulation. Stop them on any number of TD passes and 2 pt. conversions.
I am by no means an Orgeron fan. I am relieved that he exhibits a basic level of competency (in other words, can win more than 3 games a season like he did at Old Miss.) Yes, I know, some of you would rather he flame out so they can fire him. You fear that he'll continue to lead the program in mediocrity where 9-win seasons will be the norm.
I get that. But, I honestly don't believe, as some post on here, that the program is in a downward spiral, etc. ... I can see LSU having a great season, then an average season, etc., in other words, up and down. Nothing says that there will be a downward trend that does not also trend up.
Is he good enough to beat Saban? Probably not. Who is?
I can't help but want the team to succeed and he's the coach, so, I want him to succeed. I want to win the bowl game and finish 10-3, and sign a great class. I really hope he replaces Ensminger, b/c that is a needed program move. Offensive philosophy has been stagnant and needs new blood, has needed it for several years.
All is not lost, I guess I am an eternal optimist. I really hope a NY6 bowl is still the destination.

Agree with most every thing but first sentence.

With Saban at Alabama and what Fisher will be doing at A&M and Mullen at Florida, I could easily see LSU getting left behind over the next 2-5 years.
LSU will maintain 7 wins per season but I can see Orgeron getting passed on by these three mentioned universities in recruiting.

After calm reflection you think your school should leave the best cf conference for the big 12-2-2+2 or acc???? You gonna just move over there and roll everybody on your way to title after title? You need some more calm reflection.

Do you want to be a big fish in a little pond, or a little fish in a big pond? As long a Satin is in the SEC everyone else is a little fish.

"Don't wish things were easier. Wish you were better."
That's a good saying to live by.
I find it interesting that rather than insisting that LSU do everything in their power to be better as a football team, you think the answer to our problems is to move conferences so that we'd seemingly have an easier path to the playoffs.

dabo, malzahn, freeze, stoops, CUM, should i continue?
if that is your excuse for not hiring a coach with a proven style that can beat saban its quite cowardly

I 10000% agree with everything you said Jeff!! Never hurts to explore our options!!

Jimbo Fisher said it himself, it’s not a rivalry until A&M beats LSU.
The LSU / Bama matchup is fizzling out. Birmingham already decided a close game would go to A&M to create more competition.
The SEC needs A&M to be successful way more than they need LSU to be.

If you care about winning NCs or being in the play off it is stupid to stay in SEC.

A&M was extremely lucky last night. Granted they never gave up but when you’re even benefiting from your negative plays what else can you call it? ESPN had the Tigers win probability at 99.7% with 46 secs left. But despite all that, all that you listed, the fumble, the dumb and the questionable penalties it still took them 7 OT’s to beat us.

Just the threat of leaving could help balance the playing field. Coaches do it all the time to get better deals. SEC brings LSU a lot of money but LSU also brings a heck of a lot of money to the SEC. There are only a handful of teams whose brands are as big as LSU’s.
This might sound stupid but I would enjoy watching the SEC sweat. They would have to answer a lot of questions if there were talks of LSU switching. The media would have a hay day with this story line.

so you want to leave a conference run by Alabama to go to a conference that is quite literally run by Texas?
a conference that actually allows Texas and ONLY TEXAS have their own damn network?
