re: Tristan Leigh at Florida Game

I heard it wasn't a done deal. The staff has to keep working it.

Just my opinion.

I think the family connected with louisiana and lsu has been on him forever

Also, the visits and early playing time

I think that made a big impression and then the whole family will be close as far as school

I just believe that he is going to sign with lsu.

Mom was blown away by the way she was treated.

The heart this team showed after not having Sting, Flott, etc.. against Trask of all people, had to help show that this team still has some fight, I mean damn every time I looked at a big play, it was a true freshman that was making it, the future is bright no matter what the media says, "lets frickin geaux"

Doesn’t Nuss have a younger brother too? Imagine that would certainly help w UHigh recruiting if they all end up on campus.

The media has been down on us all season, but they were eating it up last night. Our players got a lot of praise for showing up and playing their asses off the way that they did. They earned it.

It’s not just the media. What is worse is our own so called fans beating the same drum. I don’t care what people say, it has an affect on recruiting. It may not be a huge affect but it could very well reach 2-3 players that we may have gotten if not for the negative narratives.

I’ve been saying all season that Bo Pelini wasn’t the problem either. It’s simply a young arse team that had no time to prepare. You can say well then simplify the defense, but then you get burnt because it’s too simple. I don’t think Pelini is the long term answer because eventually offenses will get over on his scheme but I think it could help recruiting in the style he plays. It’s a flashy type of style and big time players love that.

I think we need a new play caller more than a DC. Keep Steve E in some type of role but get another young guy here that is aggressive and innovative. Let him learn the conservative side and then let Steve E fade to a place he likes. If that’s retirement then so be it. If it’s a recruiting role, ok. Whatever but we need new blood on offense and eventually defense imo.

If you take out the Bama game, look at the schedule. It screams young but very talented team all over it. Win, lose, win, lose, win, lose. Beat teams we shouldn’t have and lost to teams we should have beaten. This program didn’t all of a sudden lose its greatness. It lost a hell of a lot of talent and on top of that had some bad luck to boot. I think we’ll be just fine and we not Auburn. That will be proven wrong next year. Hopefully all of the guys who opted out, except for the few sure shot 1st rounders come back. If so we’ll have a decent team next year, especially if we end up landing the top players on our wishlist.

Leigh at LT and Dumervill at RT

Nice real nice
