The season lasts through January. He doesn’t have to be in peak physical condition on September 7th. A lot of y’all are really downplaying just how much better these 2 guys could make us. We don’t have anybody like them at all at their respective positions. Do we NEED them? No. Can we win the NC without them? Yes. Would they make us significantly better on both sides of the ball? Absolutely. They would not be “just depth.”

Key words "not rostered". You are not a real NFL player until you make a roster. There are thousand of players walking the streets that never made a roster. I can assure you, none consider themselves NFL players and they have the empty wallet to prove it.

Pyburn and Carpenter and Weeks, OH MY!


Carpenter looks like an absolute freak. I hope it translates to the field this year for him. He definitely looks like he has put in the work in the weight room.

I shouldn’t be surprised by the Rant anymore, but it is still absolutely bananas that most of you are fine with Lane blowing up college sports like this. There is zero chance any of you a few years ago would have been in favor of cut NFL players playing on college teams.

You are right with the exception of this one year. And only because the NCAA screwed them over for no reason. Next year unless the NCAA does some bone headed move again to screw players out of an opportunity then no I don't think it should ever happen again.

Pyburn is not worth the trouble for LSU to pursue him in any way. He was a flop last year, and we have better DE personnel than him this year.

He said In an interview a few weeks ago he didn’t really practice hard or take college seriously. Go and look it up

Do scholarships even matter anymore? Ill give you enough NIL to cover schooling and then some, which wouldn't need to be much for him.


The House settlement replaced scholarship limitations with roster limitations. Every player on the roster can have a scholarship. There’s basically no more walk ons.

I am sure LSU has enough scholarships to add Pyburn and the other names mentioned in recent reports who make not make their NFL rosters. But didn't the full scholarship limits increase from the 85 it was for a long time also?


All those metrics have changed.

You sound like the rest of the talking heads on ESPN who failed to admit the reality of the situation. LSU is not the only school doing this. This entire thing has absolutely nothing to do with Lane and “blowing up college sports”. College sports got blown up when NIL was introduced. This lawsuit has been filed on behalf of the players and not coaches or schools. The coaches and schools are named just to provide protection to them.

No, you’re right we wouldn’t be for that because the new rules hadn’t been put in place. There would’ve been no place for it. But if you’re too stupid to see that this is just a one year situation and these kids got the short end of the stick, then that’s on you. A 5th year of eligibility was granted and this would be those players 5th year. But the NCAA said no to them for some reason, and that’s just not right. It’s not just LSU doing this. It’s not just football players and basketball players. It’s players from all different kinds of sports.

Well, no one bitched when Alabama had a professional basketball player on their roster last year so….. Lane is the problem? Please.
