I'm starting to think the same. CBK has been given everything he needs to build a dominant team and we are nowhere close.

Well there is a problem, none of the above is true.
So what is not true?
LSU does have the best fans in college football.
LSU has amazing football facilities
LSU has a lot of NIL money, which is one of the reasons we've done so well in recruiting/transfer portal
You are correct about the pay being incorrect! I said 15M, but I was way off.
CBK makes over 10M and his staff is scheduled to make over 9.2M according to the Daily Advertiser, which puts the overall sum closer to 20M!
My bad!

Did you even read his post or just the thread title? He clearly said he doesn't think it's acceptable
Thanks bud! I was thinking the exact same thing. I think I made it clear that we are LSU and no Vandy loss would be acceptable.
Well, they say every fanbase has a few DAs, and I think we found one!

This is such a weird game, It’s a really strange dynamic, such a huge discrepancy/canyon win vs loss outcome … even moreso strange with Vandy being favored and it being Vandy as one of these defining moments to begin with.
A loss (even as the underdog) would feel crippling for the Kelly regime… Basically the beginning of the end. However…. On the flip side, win it and you’re exactly where you need to be heading into the Nov stretch, needing only 1 of A&M/Bama and squarely in the hunt. In other words… this game outcome is legit Playoff Hunt or Program Meltdown… pretty huge gap there depending on the outcome.
I truly believe this game’s outcome could define the current state of the program with a loss. A win … moving forward as scheduled in the playoff hunt and maybe nothing to see here, a loss and it’s panic mode time and Kelly may never recover from it.
I would have never anticipated or guessed that one of these program-defining games/moments would come against Vandy, but that may very well be what we have here.

Absolutely not. Shouldn’t have lost to Ole Miss. Another loss, especially to Vandy would piss me off.

Judge me in year 4.

Lose to Vandy? Is that even in our vocabulary? We are supposed to win every game, hoist the NC trophy, and fire the coach after the NC Game. On a serious note no losing to Vanderbilt is not cool although I’m a great admirer of their upward trajectory they’ve pulled off the last two years. This is a must win game like the other 11 games we play in a regular season.

What are you a 20 yr old pansy? A loss is never ok!!!??????

What do you think?
Posted on 10/17/25 at 6:40 pm to homemadeshine
We created the situation of us being underdogs. To me it's always bad to lose to Vandy, it's even worse that we've gotten to a point where we're expected to lose to Vandy according to the sportsbooks.

Literally nobody even read the post. OP SAID A LOSS TO VANDY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! Y'all are downvoting his post then agreeing with everything he said. Bunch of damn idiots in this thread.

This is a playoff game. The margin for error ended with Ole Miss.

A loss to Vandy would be devastating at this point in the season. Had we not shite the bed against Ole Miss it would not be as bad, but we did so we have little margin for error. Anything other than a playoff berth is a failure.

If Kelly loses this, it's the beginning of the end for him.

Tough crowd, lol. Most LSU fans are tired of excuses from Kelly. I’ve prepared myself mentally that this team likely won’t make the playoffs. I can hope they will, but not expecting it.

Well there is a problem, none of the above is true.
The only thing there that is subjective would be the comment about the fanbase yet LSU is consistently noted as having one of the most passionate, toughest environments to play in the entire country. We had the #1 portal class so don’t know what else you could be on about but you’re wrong per usual
