re: How excited are you about LSU football?

Not one of those kids that actually have to play gets payed 3 mil. You do realize the players have to play regardless of the coach right? Let’s let the coaches play scrabble for the W from now on, the players can just watch. Bich please

Let’s not overlook LA Tech this year. The GD USL fans here are bad enough. Imagine Tech fans if they beat us.

Good point. They are similar to Troy, IMHO. A capable second tier opponent with a history of playing LSU close (c.f. 2009).

On the other hand, I liked what Ensminger did with the offense when he was the interim OC and I love the type offense that he currently seems to be installing. Also the new OL coach seems to be a solid addition. Also like what I am hearing about the WR advisor(?) Sullivan. I think the offense is in capable hands.

And then on paper and in theory their seems to be a whole lot of players with a lot of potential and talent on offense:
Players like Narcisse (known to be a big strong, strong armed, and fast QB) combined with Brennan (known to be a tall, accurate, quick thinking QB) that in theory are just what we need at QB. Both talented and bringing different strengths to the position, making it harder to game plan against.

They will be throwing to what appears to be a very deep pool of highly talented WR's. Players like Giles, Marshall, and McMath to name a few among many. Some tall and strong, and others fast decisive route runners.

Also a TE in Moreau who can do it all and could very well have a break out year that moves him up the draft board. Add in a RB who fits the offense perfectly in Clyde Helaire and who is dangerous catching the ball out of the backfield and is a strong elusive runner. A lead blocker who will knock the crap out of defenders and can catch the ball also in Tory Carter.

In front of all this we have some young, but now experienced, o-lineman who were thrown into the fire as true freshman and not only survived, but by the end of the season, thrived. A couple of big JUCOs transfers who are the real deal and Brumfield. Also a handful of big talented backups, like Campbell, Savage, and Magee who will be pushing them hard.

So is it possible that all this can come together by September 2nd and be clicking like clockwork and steam roll Miami? Anything is possible. Is it likely? (I decline to answer that question). Remember the 'miracle on ice' when the USA hockey team beat the Russians. Miracles happen. This is LSU by God. One heartbeat!






Remember the Titans! the next one is going to be called: 'Remember the Tigers!' the story of the 2018 LSU Tigers football team which will be written before our very eyes in the months to come.

“ I like what in Ensminger did with the offense when he was interim OC “

What Did you see? We had a whole lot of talent last yr, but that didn’t stop a much, much less talented team from embarrassing us on Home Coming night.

After the disappointment of last season, Coach O has a lot of proving to do before I expect anything “clockwork” from LSU football.

i'm more excited about next basketball season

When your expectations for next year references "miracles" in other sports, maybe you are out a bit over the skis.
Championship teams know it and can point to the reasons they expect to be champions without luck or divine intervention.
we will have an excellent defense, thin at cb, and will very good, inexperienced athletes elsewhere. Eight wins is about the best I can see...

I don't understand where this "wanting him to fail" idea comes from. Sure, there are a couple nutjobs that say "I hope he loses every game so he gets fired", but some people act like that's the majority or something.

Entering a new season, I'm always excited about LSU Football .
