You’re an idiot.

Those things Kiffin does are resurrecting the brand. He’s also done a great job. Leavitt is a problem and folds when he shouldn’t. Baker does the same. Do not underestimate the power of branding. It’s a good tiebreaker when it comes to NIL and players wanting to come here.

No one GAF if you want fire extinguishers on the sidelines. I don’t want them either and I want #7/#18 to go away. But the players like it, so I like it and so should you.

This is the same rationale behind wanting just the band to play. It’s boring to kids. Lane isn’t boring.

Lane’s influence goes beyond just fielding a great team. And had LSU pulled out the coin toss UK game, which was basically 50/50, this would be a different conversation. He’s one play away from 7-2. If we’re playing at home, those games go our way.

You think boosters are putting in money for yet another year with boring arse BK? Lane will ALWAYS have LSU being talked about. Don’t underestimate the power of keeping the LSU brand relevant.

They held up in pass protection far better than our offensive line did, especially after Davis went down. With their starting center back, they did not struggle and give up sacks the way they did at UT.


Russell also played better. He kind of crumbled in Neyland.

In today’s college football every year is “Year 1”. The college rosters turnover every single season. There is no program building. There is team constructing for one season. Then you do it all over again. It’s just a lower level of the NFL now.


More opinion that you masquerade as fact. The top P4 programs are paying a premium to retain their best players, especially QBs and players on the two lines. There is a reason there’s not some glut of star defensive and offensive linemen every year in the fricking portal. They aren’t leaving unless they are backups or there’s a coaching change. They’re being fricking paid to stay where they are. That’s not constant whole roster turnover. That’s replacing backups with portal and recruiting.

Look at Georgia. They use the portal about as little as anyone in the SEC. They depend on recruiting and use NIL for retention. They supplement very lightly with the portal. They are not turning over their roster every fricking year. That’s why they’re so damn good. Ohio State, bama, in Miami, are doing the same fricking thing. How can you not see this?

Now go back and look at Lane Kiffin’s career at Ole Miss. While he used the portal extensively, go look at the roster turnover. There wasn’t a ton every year. He and Glasscock became known for looking for portal players that had multiple years to play so that they weren’t having to turn over the roster every year. They used the portal as an extension of recruiting. And if you look at their first portal class here, the majority of the players still have multiple years of eligibility.

Alabama handled them without too much trouble. They did get no help from Leavitt again but they are not as advertised


You are a casual fool if you believe this DL is bad. Bama ran for only 79 yards on 2.7 per carry frickhead. And that’s without Reliford and Anderson.

It sure didn’t turn into much yardage production.

I know Im in the minority, but I agree. There's a lot of childish BS going on. I also questioned the hire I am willing to give him time to build a team. I hope he makes better decisions in the future.

But did you have a problem with it when lsu blew out Clemson? I have not problem with your take but just be consistent?

The wide receivers not getting open is also a big fricking problem and has been all year.



They’ve been open all year including the Bama game. Sam isn’t seeing them

I bet Lane's agent has a call into Nvidia about the possible CEO opening.

The guy is a psychopath.

Us not getting Russell on the ground while he either bailed them out of negative plays or made positive ones set up the ending where they were able to explode and take control of the game.

Those negative plays killed Bama on the road at UT. Russell built momentum through the game without this Saturday and was ready to roll when we handed them the ball deep in our territory twice.

Well said but I don’t have a problem at all with Lane going on 4th. I do have a problem with the poor play calling and/or execution on 4th. It sucked.

Last I checked, the DL didn’t blow a read that gave up Bama’s one big pass play. That was Cooley. They didn’t give up the punt return that gift-wrapped the next score. They also didn’t go for it at our own 25 and basically end the game.

Are you really this ignorant? My fault- I forgot who I’m talking to here.
