This crap is exhausting.

There's still more roller coaster to come, hopefully more ups than downs. I just hope we don't get blindsided by a critical loss at the last second.

How many spots do you think we save to see who enters in May?

Will things settle down by May or will we kick into overdrive as players look for playing time or a sweet NIL deal?

LSU will have an influx after spring when the writing is on the wall they're not starting. I expect several OL to enter so you can expect LSU will target it in spring too since they'll know who's leaving to fill holes and also what starters they're not comfortable with starting.

If it stresses you out this much then you probably should not follow it.

How'd you like to be a HC in this day and age? Talk about exhausting. You never know who might leave your team. At any time. Tolan is a prime example. Head on a swivel. Got to have targets lined up too.

Again, the portal has far more benefitted us than those that complain about how bad it is.

We lost Arik Gilbert and Eli Ricks? Big deal

If not for the portal, the Tigers would have been in big trouble last year. The portal is also helping us tremendously this year.

Where did I say it was stressful?

I said it was exhausting, as in trying to keep up with players entering the portal and announcing destinations, researching players that I'm unfamiliar with etc.

I actually enjoy it and and find following the coaches different strategies interesting. BK has been killing it.

You on the other hand seem to be a little moody. Hope you have a great day.

They have to be running nonstop.

I agree totally, just hope no last minute loses with no viable replacements. After all these young adults can have maturity issues, egos and lots of $$$$ being thrown at them.

The portal is the rich getting richer. It benefits LSU but that doesn't mean it's right. I'm cool with graduate transfers and everyone else must sit out a year. Otherwise, there is too much tampering

It has literally become NFL Free Agency. I still think more rules and enforcement need to be done to improve this system.

We've been one of the biggest beneficiaries in college football because it's expedited the rebuild. It's still not good for the sport, in its current form.

You could just not follow it day to day and just wait until August and see who is on the team then. It’s all out of your control anyway so letting it exhaust you is kind of pointless.

Lol!! I mean the coaches jump around like they are in the portal also ! Hell they are even opting out before the season is over but they should be exhausted because kids go elsewhere?
