I hate "journalists" these days


It’s a symptom/microcosm of society these days. Thanks to social media, every Tom, Dick, and Kinsleigh thinks people give a flaming %hit what their views are - on anything.

The main character syndrome so many people have is nauseating and incredibly worrisome.

LSU isn't for everybody

Nothing wrong with what Wiggins said.

Just look at baseball, if you can’t crack the lineup as a fr you are going to fall behind quick

He should have gone to ULL. Hes not an SEC or even Big12 player.

He was likely coddled and enabled at every turn in HS.
This is basically pro football now. There's no time for kids who need to be motivated every 5 minutes.

Some here will use any kind of subterfuge and misdirection to take a swipe at this head coach. It’s become BKDS.

If Daniel’s, Neighbors, Thomas, and Taylor’s time at LSU was their baseline talent. I hope Kelly brings in more players like them to underachieve and give us their bare minimum.

Yeah, but the absolute worst are the ones whose beat is their own team and not national. Those local beat reporters aren't stupid...they know that the fans who read about their teams want about 3 layers of rose colored glasses. There are exceptions of course....that clown Glenn Guilbeau I think his name is would find something wrong if LSU wins the NC. I assume he is still the same a-hole he was years ago...lost track of him...thankfully! Seems like he got fired a time or two.

What exactly is the "terrible advice?" Sounds like he needed more individual attention as a player given that he hasn't played a ton of football, and Colorado was able to give him more of that than LSU can. This actually sounds like a Transfer Portal success story to me.

Kelly can have his “Million Dollar Match Challenge.” He can have his top-rated 2025 transfer class. He can fake all the Cajun accents he wants.

If he can’t connect with players, Kelly will never get more out of his players than their baseline talent level. He’ll also never retain the players he was able to nab via the university’s donor class’s donations.

And if he can’t make a run to the College Football Playoff entering his fourth year in Baton Rouge, LSU may find someone who can do those things.

The amount of butt hurt when something negative is said about BK is hilarious. He has been one of the most disliked coaches nationally since his ND days but Tiger fans still get so upset when something negative is said about him.
