People that whine about how LSU paid this much to coaches/players should be winning.

All you idiots who believe money wins games shows what a dumbarse you are. Until you know what it actually takes to win in football, just stop making yourself look dumb.

All you idiots who believe if a player ranked in the transfer portal means that the player is "good" is wild. Ill give Benefield his props but many of the portal players do not and have not lived up to the hype and its not even close. Sometimes you need to realize the situation you put yourself in and punt the dam ball.


One last thing. People tend to not really understand the game of football. The ones that do understand, on 5 different possessions, LSU made a bad decision and lost "field position" and/or didnt take pts by their own doing. Yeah we went up and down the field but the times we didnt , bama absolutely took advantage of the nice field position and got points. When a game is close, winning field position is the most important fundamental of playing and winning in football.

I was disappointed in Lane for making these decisions cause ive stood behind him but what's done is done. I do believe nobody is burning over this loss more than he is. This is his first year. There are too many variables that need to be in place that really isnt in order to win. He needs time and good recruiting. Lets beat the horns Saturday.

NIL has changed the drive for these players.
It used to be that a player would sell pif to do anything to make the play so they can get drafted & get paid

Now they already “made it” and 95% effort is what you get instead of that last 5% which makes or breaks a game

Those players are robots. Buy them, plug them in, and book your travel to the playoff games. Simple as that!

Yet another example of why I like college football less than ever - the “if spend money, we shall win” fans. Texas A&M had this forever. Now, LSU does.

Yuck.

I can agree money has done nothing but water down player execution most likely.

Are obviously not smart and unsuccessful in their lives.


It should be embarrassing for anyone that uses that low IQ talking point but they are too stupid to realize it, obviously.

Everybody likes to throw this around like it’s a fact, and it very well might be…

But you truly have no clue how these guys are wired. Some of them might actually care

The fact that these are STILL 18-20 year old kids making money they are still kids at the end of the day it’s still the same game as before the only difference is depth that is the real reason it’s hard to win lack of depth and parody the field is more level but at the end of the day fans want results

100% its amazing to me the amount of chatter in X claiming this crap. Even past players like that idiot Samoan who played in 19.

Highest paid teams are Texas, Ohio State, Texas A&M, LSU. Add up the losses.

Saban stated as much…he said players used to ask him if he can help get them to the league. Once they changed & started to ask “how much will you pay me” he knew it was time to leave the game

Good players and good coaches win games. Is the entire point not to pay for the best players you can get now? I think you're accidentally making the point you oppose.

Is this supposed to be some sort of “gotcha”? “ LSU didn’t get beat. They’re just incompetent”. Is this supposed to make anyone feel better?

I feel much better now that you’ve explained it to us that LSU can’t execute the fundamentals. How much do you think it will it cost to fix that?

troll game weak. Money doesnt buy tangibles/intangibles LSU needs in order to win consistently.

Again, that doesn’t mean every single player is wired that way


That was my only point

It’s almost like the “analytics” argument where people who have a very minute understanding of the topic base an entire argument and viewpoint in general on it.

We returned 28% of the roster this year. Over 61% of the new roster came from the portal. Normally Kiffin teams (NIL era) retain between 62-65% of the roster. So year 1 is a tear down/rebuild, year 2 and on we’re building off of a foundation. There’s a big difference in the successes of teams who have high retention rates compared to those who don’t. Our fans have become used to tear downs because Kelly did this multiple times and now we had to do it this year out of necessity but it isn’t what’s going to happen moving forward.
