re: Given the brutal schedule and CLK’s first year, how would you feel with a 7-5 finish?

This place is pure misery after a loss. We lose on the road in the other programs Super Bowl against a more talented team on the last play of the game and now we are a 7-5 team. Jesus Christ some of you are just plain dumb.

I'm still on board with 9-3 this season. The OL will figure it out and Leavitt will adjust to the speed of the SEC.

With a 50 million roster? Kiffin would be the biggest con man ever

I predicted 9-3 with a tough schedule, but that is when I thought our Oline was vastly improved and our incoming qb could actually find a receiver and throw a catchable pass. I don't believe either of those are going to change this year. So unless Clark comes in and proves to be the better passing QB, then I can't see how LSU can possibly be better than 7-5. I'll be disappointed, obviously but I will expect LK to be a minimum of 9-3 in year 2, and better than that after that.

I got a feeling we are going to lose around 5 games. Kentucky and MSU are games we may lose. Baker defenses have shown the inability to stop mobile QBs and MSU QBs is better than everyone not named Trinidad. A&M-L MSU-L Bama-L Texas-L


If we win Saturday night, I guarantee you that you will be in this forum crowing about how great LSU is and how we’re going to the championship game and making the playoffs.

You dont fire a coach with a 50+ million buyout, give the next guy 13 mil per year, and invest 40+ mil in a roster just to go 7-5.

Disappointed!!! I think 8-4 should be the floor. 10-2 the ceiling.

You say that, but we could lose 3 more games before Halloween. Not easily, but it could be done.

We got our 4th choice at QB. Wanted Chambliss then Sorsby then the Washington QB before turning back to Leavitt. Wish we had Mensah. We aren’t good enough on line of scrimmage to win without an elite QB . Baker is an average DC and is exposed against good QBs. Let’s hope Leavitt improves quickly.

I would be VERY displeased. I predicted 9-3 and that was mostly due to my concerns with the QB missing the whole spring.

Kiffin had his best year EVER by far in his career last year with a team that had 20 new starters and a new QB. This is NOT 5 years ago. The landscape of college football is different. We spent a ton of money to get talent in and 7-5 is absolutely not acceptable.

Does it mean we can't do better after that? No, but your question was how would you feel about 7-5 and that's my answer, SEC schedule will always be tough and Clemson is not part of that brutal schedule, they suck. So going 4-5 with the roster we paid for - would be a failure of a year.

What the frick are you even talking about? This board hasn’t been readable in years.

Imagine being so fricking retarded that you think someone is soft and “out of touch” because they suggest they’ll spend less time on a message board due to the drivel.


Congrats! You truly are a shooting star in a sea of idiots

Saban and Kiffin didn’t have NIL in those examples. 7-5 would be a complete failure of a season. Especially with a $50 million roster.

I am going to trust Lane to be Lane...which means, that I am going to trust him to build a Championship team.
