t's not LSU's fault Kanas State and Florida State haven't been very good, but those wins aren't helping as much as you hoped they would (at least as of now).


Exactly, so this game IMHO is fairly important and is our last chance as the rest of our OOC schedule is very useless. It will be at least one Quad 1 win, which is better than none, and I have a hard time seeing us do much better than 8-10 in conference play this year, even though I think we're better than last year even without Reed - and we went 9-9 last year.

Four star recruit in the Efton Reid, Brandon Murray, etc class. Went from LSU to to K-State, to now, SMU. Never a big contributor, though it looks like he plays about 10 mpg for SMU.

The highlight of his LSU career was a game where Wade wanted to put him in late in garbage time, but he either forgot, or chose not to wear his jersey under his warm ups. He couldn't go into the game because he didn't have a jersey. Wade lost his shite

Anyone know the status of Trey’dez Green? Is he still planning to play basketball? Will we have to wait u til after the bowl game?
I am not in the know, but given how many receivers and te's are in the portal or declaring for the draft i am guessing Kelly isn't letting him go until after the bowl game.

FSU should be good long term but K-State looks like they may implode.

I heard on the radio it’s considered a neutral site game since it’s not technically at SMU, just in Dallas so a win wouldn’t boost the RPI as much but would still be big regardless. Apparently they’re coming to play us in Nola next year so it works out better next year for us

Not sure about that, they just lost by 10 to a bad NC Stat team and were picked to finish in the bottom third of the ACC. But I hope it turns out to be so.

Using most LSU Basketball fans logic:

SMU Beat Alabama St by 29

LSU beat Alabama St by 13



Sooooo....SMU by 15+???

It was an OT loss despite the end result.

NC State's net is 109 - 6 of their 7 wins are Quad 4 wins and their other is a Quad 3.

I'll be there. Hopefully we'll have a nice turnout of LSU fans.

Does LSU get a Road Top 25 win this year? I'd put odds at 50/50.

Going off current wins I feel like this is a must win, kinda game that separates an average OOC from a good OOC run. It’s still early cause I really expect Central Florida to make a run when they get those two elite freshman back. But this feels like a big one to me

Just pointing out that it wasn't simply a 10 point loss. It was an OT loss on the road against a conference opponent.
