Outside of jones and swinson, yea def felt like he upperclassmen underperformed. Even Campbell and jones didn’t dominate as much as expected

Money. I don’t know why people keep forgetting that It took LSU until July of 2024 to merge TAF with Bayou Traditions and start raising serious dollars for NIL. It was about fundraising through TAF and getting the money.

Judge him after year 4

Until we go 9-4, and he needs another year to develop the new guys plus more money from fans

Any fan base going into any season with that attitude is absolute foolishness.

I expect to compete for a championship and to be playing meaningful football until the final snap. That’s all you can ask of any team. So much luck goes in to actually winning a natty.

LSU will be a good team this year, but it’s been half a decade since they're been physically dominant. Until that happens I’m not getting my hopes up.

Even more so I think this is the kind of roster LSU fans expect every year and rightfully so.

Bold words are signs of either low IQ, lunacy or both. None are good. You choose……

At the end of the day it took BK until this offseason and losing Underwood to take the portal seriously. Will never understand why he didn’t but glad he finally did.


Ever think that LSU was probably pretty strapped financially? This isn’t a video game where there’s billions of imaginary money floating around. LSU paid out O, paid out Will Wade, paid out all the legal settlements for the sex scandals, plus legal fees, re-upped J Johnson and Kim Mulkey contracts, built a new training center, then sign BK to a big deal.

End of the day, the cupboard was pretty bare. This is NIL era. Money talks. I don’t think it was as much a willful avoidance rather than being super picky bc he knows he didn’t have much to spread around .

I don’t think BK learned anything or changed his attitude towards the portal. I think LSU finally got its NIL act together, and so Kelly finally has the money he needs to go get guys now.


Yup. People seem to forget that in a short period of time they paid out O, Will Wade, paid out millions in legal fees and settlements for the sex scandals, signed Johnson and Mulkey, and BK, and built a new training center. Thats a lot of cheddar going out the door in a short period of time

I don`t think BK is doing as bad as alot of haters think.Considering that
BKs 3 year record at LSU is about the same as NSs and BK inherited
a much worse roster than did NS.Unfortunatley for Kelly he will never get the support from those who just didn`t like the hire.No matter what the facts are
or the situation these type of fans were going to expect championship
caliber play from day 1,which was ludicrous.
I`m so happy I grew up emotionally and live in the real world,thats what
keeps me from being one of them and from being miserable.
