Why would anyone be bummed about someone breaking Josh Reed's SEC single game receiving yardage record eight years after it happened? Cobi Hamilton of Arkansas had 303 yards on 10 catches against Rutgers in 2012. Its in the SEC record book. Apparently a lot of media people, including The Advocate, didn't check out the facts and got it wrong.

No, records get broken. We should be happy the SEC single game receiving record still belongs to an LSU Tiger.

Kinda like how Guice broke Fournette’s record? I feel like LF7 is still the best RB to come thru LSU even if his records fell to a POS.

I think there is always a want for records to be broken in big games with real consequences but sometimes it’s just a day when Ole Miss couldn’t stop Boutte on a crossing route.

If you’re not dying over our defensive pride that game was a classic

Reed no longer had the SEC record so I’m glad the record is once again held by a tiger.

Not at all. I live not far from where Reed played in High School, and we went to LSU together. I never played against him, but friends have and raved about how awesome a RB he was. I left LSU early to join the Marines, as I was afraid I was going to lose my scholarship because I had trouble controlling my urge to screw everything instead of studying, and my dad wouldn't let me take a semester off and move back home ("better get your arse an apartment")... I just wanted to take one damn semester off to get my dick under control.

Anyways, I was very excited for Josh when he switched positions and started playing a lot. I was also able to see most games his JR year and it was exciting this local boy was leading the nation. Was happy when he got drafted by the Bills and took Peerless Price's place.

Now, all these years later, I work not far from where Boutte played, and followed him his SR year. The reason I am not bummed at all is because it was another local kid from Acadiana, representing our state well.

I hope Boutte shatters the records set by Jefferson and Chase as well. All that does is make LSU become WR U again.

the only thing that may bother me was that I really liked that it was "Most Yards Ever..." and against BAMA-
But, oh well - Go To Hell Ole Miss Go To Hell.

I am so old I can remember YA's passing records being broken....

records are goal to shoot for as a player, team and coach...

they are broken all the time...

Charles Alexander total rushing yards record did not last long

broken by Dalton Hilliard...

Broken by Kevin Faulk

Football records are meant to be broken, that is one reason we keep them recorded.

So if LSU and Boutte don’t pan out in 2021, the record he broke in 2020 isn’t worth it? But if LSU and boutte are lit in 2021, then the record in 2020 is legit? So let’s wait and see how next year pans out before getting excited about a record we already witnessed?

Man I can’t wait to see if I can be excited for Boutte’s performance last weekend!

I kinda am because he was just a man amongst boys while in college. So much fun to watch him dominate, but change is good sometimes.

Agreed. The SEC record was broken after Reed, so LSU is once again at the top.

No. If records are being broken, that means we have good/great players.

CSB. I’m attended that Rohan to Josh Reed game inTiscaloosa as a guest of a Bama fan. He had 4 tickets and asked if me and one of my sons wanted to go. We accepted, met in a parking lot and walked i together. He was excited to say that Bama should prevail and that it would be a good time even though LSU would lose. We poked each other about winning and losing back in the day. As the game progressed he would repeat his surprise at how good Davey and Reed we redoing. He also realized it would be a record setting day and just shook his head a lot.
My young 5 year old son enjoyed the game but mostly just tossed peanuts at the backs of Bama fans. We named the game, “The Peanut Game”. It was great to see the Bama bunch humbled by the LSU team that rolled them that day.

Rant, tell me not to worry.

You're worried that a true freshman QB/WR combo just set an offensive record??
