LINKPasting for those that don’t have X, GEAUX TIGERS!!



I’m going to try not to overreact here.
But I do want to describe what we saw last night - and, more importantly, what it feels like.

With one very important distinction: I am not declaring that this is the truth. I’m describing the feeling.

And tonight, it felt like Lane Kiffin was the perfect fit for LSU, for Louisiana, and for everything this place is about.

Kiffin has spent his entire career being doubted, criticized, and hated on—and he’s never seemed particularly interested in giving a damn.
That sounds a lot like Louisiana.

He went in to the locker room and said “Now imagine if we had Pro players” up 31-3.

He went for two up 44-3…

He IS STTDB made in to a football coach.

Give LSU fans something exciting. Give them something entertaining. Give them a reason to believe that when they walk into Tiger Stadium, they’re going to see something they can’t see anywhere else.

And they will show up.
We saw that last night.
In a huge way.

And now LSU finds itself with perhaps the most reckless entertainer in all of football.
LSU fans have been begging for excitement for years.

Lane Kiffin might be the answer to that call.

Because since Nick Saban left, LSU has often felt like a program that wins in spite of itself, rather than because of everything it does right.

We know the talent this state produces.

We know what Louisiana football looks like when that talent is put on a national stage.

And we know how many championships that talent has helped carry coaches who, frankly, probably weren't good enough to win them on their own.

But somehow, through all of it, LSU has still felt like college football’s sleeping dragon.

Well tonight, the fiddler walked in and woke the dragon and the fiddler’s name is Lane Kiffin.

I read that a couple hours ago, and really feel the same way.

One of the comments was this feels like when Sean Payton took over in 2006, and you instantly felt your team has a SIGNIFICANT coaching advantage

I liked when he was asked about the positives of the first half, all he focused on was the interception and how he was pissed we weren't up 38- 0.

This sums it up perfectly! Has CLK ever been somewhere that the fanbase matches his personality like it does at LSU? It’s like a match made in heaven imo

That's very Saban-esque and you know Lane was greatly influenced by Nick.

I've been saying all the bs the rest of the college football world was throwing at Lane and LSU was to cope with fear.

They are scared that Lane is about to finish what Nick started here.....

Uh, that’s not the rant. Maybe the most insecure place on the internet.

Accept the LSU admin is still spineless and won’t join him and let the band play!

Yep the “Never Satisfied Approach” is so welcomed!!

IMO, it’s one of the characteristics that separates good coaches from GREAT coaches!

Clemson didn't deserve Neck. There will be a game or two that will warrant the STTDB. Know what I mean? You don't play Neck when you beat La Tech either. A competitor that gives us a game earns the right to be "Necked".,
