This I can agree with...

“I will say this: as much as we’re celebrating this team, I wasn’t a real fan of the postgame stuff, the OBJ stuff with the money,” Herbstreit said. "The way they handled themselves at times. If it’s just about 2019, great. But this is about staying power, right? This isn’t the finish line of their program. Don’t they wanna win in 2020, don’t they wanna win in 2021? I almost feel like it’s all the chips in, we made it, that’s it and forget everything else.


This.... frick him. They just won the natty... they are young... let them fricking celebrate.

did you honestly just becoming an LSU fan? Everything our fan base/band did last Monday should have come as no surprise...minus OBJ.

Sad thing with him is.......he has a answer for everything and it's usually BS out the side of his mouth. Him and Stephen A.

To be fair to Joe, if you watched/ listened to that interview, Joe looked and sounded like death.

Hell the PMT guys had to stop the intro so one of the guys could go summon the dinosaurs.

go listen to it instead of posting the transcripts that are edited and taken out of context. He was 100% accurate in his comments.

So he's ok with other teams like Bama talking sht after they won it or smoking cigars? Ok with Dabo planning a championship parade before the season? GTFOH.

He killed him to have to defend us during this playoffs and he had to think that we would lose to Clemson and his gestures prior to that week would prove he's non-biased. Ok.

My first memory of the Tigers is from 1977,
If you think that shouting about sucking dicks is something older Tiger fans did you are insane.

The fans that made Tiger Stadium would've slapped the taste out your mouth for shouting that around their families and kids. Period

The fans that started that are the ones that didn't care to stay past half time. Our fans are a disgrace.

Herbstreit is exactly correct. It certainly doesn't help LSU. Beckham is a show off and should be banned from any LSU activities in the future

Herbstreit has been out of control praising LSU most of the year. Our people just have such a inferiority complex they cant listen to any objective criticism. The same reason they hate Danielson.

Were their freshman and sophomore covering their eyes when Bama was smoking cigars for beating a shitty Tennessee team in the regular season?

Herby has always shite on LSU. This goes back to the early 2000's. He is a Midwest prick and that hasn't seemed to change.

OBJ is the problem. He should have all his sideline privileges revoked. His attitude is horrible. It reeks with selfishness and materialism.

That is not the culture you want in a program and there are many signs that this is the culture of LSU. We have had more players leave early than any other program in the last 10 years. Some that leave early don't get drafted or are drafted very late. They want out of school as fast as possible even though staying another year would benefit them greatly.

Herbie is right on this.

OBJ is an idiot.
Burrow's comment was unnecessary
The cigar thing was no big deal.
Burrow's hat was trashy.

Dude you really do have no clue. So many of the old tigers I knew (that are gone now) would have gotten a kick out of Neck.

On Paul Finebaum’s show on Wednesday, someone called in about how LSU is ranked 3rd in ESPN’s power rankings. Finebaum, who has never been in love with LSU, called BS on that, saying that those were irrelevant. He also went on to say that ESPN is biased against the SEC in general, and he named Herbstreit as one of those who are very much biased toward the Big 10. I was surprised he actually said that.

Although our fans can be total wimps about that kind of stuff, Herbstreet was completely wrong to throw Clemson and Bama in the conversation and act like they are the model for doing things right. As I stated earlier, Bama has had NUMEROUS bad optic things (which I listed) and total lack of discipline for players doing actual bad stuff.

And Clemson had a major PED issue before the title game last year with four players getting suspended for the NC game and two getting suspended for this season. Dabo defended them and then stated Clemson may have "accidentally" given them the banned substance. Yeah, ok. I like Herbstreet, but he was completely wrong to act like Bama and Clemson are the poster boys for good behavior.

And by the way, if you are seriously criticizing adults for smoking victory cigars after the title game, then you are acting holier than thou. That is something that goes back a long time and is a simple, harmless celebration. It's not like they smoked them on some team's home field.
