Get over it, it’s not College football anymore, NIL ruined it, no salary cap & no portal jumping rules, get use to it.

Imagine spending your hard earned money on 17-18 yr olds that don’t even know who you are

It never seemed Leavitt was well protected. Even though Chambliss would have had plenty of time, he made quick decisions and hit a target more times than not.

Long season ahead and do believe we’ll get much better.

I can’t help but laugh at all the TD posters worrying about how much money LSU is spending on players like it’s their money they losing.

Was always going to be a highly spent roster. We turned over damn near or over 50 players and won 5 games last year. How many people can’t connect those dots is beyond my comprehension. If we wanted any semblance of competitiveness we were going to spend a lot. We’d be much worse if we didn’t.


I don’t understand how people don’t get this either. I think the offense will continue to improve each week. Bakers defense does concern me some though.

We had some high-dollar holes to fill and a lot of other holes to fill.

Anytime you have a change in the coaching staff, you have turnover in personnel, and reloading is expensive.

So youre telling me the 40 million that was spent. Is multi year contracts? That it was only 40 million because we had to fill so many gaps?

You truly dont belive that its going to cost another 40 million next year?

You think it'll be 20 million next year? I highly doubt that dude

Had this conversation on numerous occasions this weekend, even before the loss. If these donors don’t see any ROI, will they continue to pony up?

Everyone needs to understand 35 to 50 mil is just ante to sit at the table. You can pay less and be an also ran. But if you want talent thats the price right now

Bingo. They had to spend to be in national conversation. People assume that since we spent that, we have a Top 3 roster in football. Doesn’t work like that when you have to turn over half of the roster.

We were tied with number 8 on the road, and had a chance to win.....probably should have. Seems pretty solid to me.

We had a chance to win with a minute left on the road after withstanding probably the best QB play in one half by opponent ever.
I’m gonna give it a bit longer before I criticize

I'm not agreeing with OP but every program in FBS is dealing with high turnover. The avg in the SEC was 24 players transferring out.

stop apologizing for that shite zone defense by baker

you obviously have never watched many LSU games if you think that is the best performance by an opposing Qb in a half? fn hilarious.

And less than 38% of the team is from
Louisiana! Just doesn’t feel right! even if LSU turns out to be world beaters it won’t mean as much to me! It’ll be like the Saints winning the Super Bowl! Cool but not as big as LSU winning the Natty with a majority La roster!
