The only acceptable result for a good season is Lane & the boys making the playoffs anything less is a disappointment!

This right here is what college football is going to be about going forward for just about any team with NIL and Portal. This will be a yearly occurrence most of these players will be one and done,
A new roster every season, combined with the LSUAD destruction and decline of the "Legendary" atmosphere in Tiger Stadium, makes it easy to walk away.

The NFL just needs to go ahead and implement an official semi-pro minor league football system. (Just like MLB has) All this NIL BS has destroyed College Football. It's not sustainable long term. It's just semi-pro now, so just officially make if official.

If you want to get a College Degree, then go to college and play football. (No NIL and No Transfer Portal) You get your Athletic Scholarship and a small living stipend. That's it.

If you want to play professional football, you enter the minor leagues right out of high school. Play a few years, then get drafted by the NFL.

No flip flopping either, one or the other.

CFP or bust! (With a blowout win in the September 19th game against the North Central Mississippi Junior College Butthurt Bear Sharks)

Why the frick didn't the SEC Office schedule that game on Saturday Night October 31st HALLOWEEN?

Over the top and asinine decision to play it on September 19th.

Really have no idea about the team this year.

We could be national champs, we could be 7-5

I think success THIS YEAR is 9-3 or better

Playoffs. I don't think that unreasonable to have a real expectation of that. It's what we paid for and the - it takes 3-4 years does not apply anymore, it just doesn't.

I just want them to look like a team that cares what happens and looks well coached.

Brian Kelly teams just didn't always look well coached.

The SEC is tough every year but with Lane our offense should show major improvement. Give our defense a breather once in awhile.

I am guessing 8-4 or 9-3.

For the teams that win consistently, it does. You still need to recruit and develop guys. Use the portal to fill the holes on the team, not build it each year.

Winning an opener would be a great start.

Winning all Non-Confrence games points to good direction.

Winning every home game.

Splitting away games.

An effective Offense that minimizes 3rd and long. Protects the ball and scores points.

An effective Defense that gets off the field, exudes toughness. High stepping D-Linemen disrupting shite in the backfield. LB's with pop and Turn over machines in the Secondary.

LSU Semi-Pro FB = millions upon millions to make a former coachs go away, million dollar contracts for "student athletes." The Bar set itself.

Improved defense and smart offense.

Our record will be fine if we see this.

A semblance of complementary football. Didn’t have that in 4 years under BK wanna see both sides of the ball actually being competent at the same time

It's not unreasonable. The game and methods of roster building have totally changed. That means the prior expediency of the expectations for success have changed with them.

LSU has a HC who, over the last 10 years, has won at places (FAU and Ole Miss) at a higher and more consistent level in those programs' recent history. At Ole Miss he did so by building rosters primarily through the transfer portal. He's already shown reaching the playoffs with a transfer heavy roster can be done (last year). So there is NO reasons to think it SHOULD take multiple years at LSU do to so. Look no further than last year's top 5 ranked transfer portal classes:

1. LSU - Fired coach
2. Texas Tech - CFP
3. Miami - CFP
4. Ole Miss - CFP
5. Oregon - CFP

Texas Tech and Miami were slightly above average programs...until they decided to go hard into the transfer market. That produced immediate success. Of course, the best example of how quickly a program can change is Indiana. It went from a program that was 3-9 in 2023, a program that had won 33 games over an EIGHT year span, to 27-2 in two years with a NC. Hell, this year's national championship game was a matchup between a teams that just TWO years prior when 3-9 (Indiana) and 7-6 (Miami)

The tradeoff for being able to sign good, experienced, players to immediately join your team is that patience level to achieve success has shrunk. You have the resources and the players. Make the CFP! Sorry, that is the landscape now.

Take out 80% of piped in music and no doubt we will have guaranteed success against Clemson, Bama, State, Agm and Texas. Let the crowd Roar!
