I honestly haven't up with which alter # this is but why do the other accounts keep getting banned? Or does he just swap to a new one?

That's the point my friend of reason. To me, yes the schedule is difficult, but it lends more of an oppurtunity than a detriment.


I agree with this. If you look at the teams alone, it looks really tough, but if you look at the entire week to week layout, it is a lot better than it could be. The toughest matchups are split up by easier matchups. We don't have a brutal 3-game stretch like some teams do.

15-11 SEC record in his last 4 seasons



57.7%

Definitely not good enough. Not even for a coach that has won multiple SEC titles and a NC and has one of the best all time SEC winning percentages.


Wanna know what O’s SEC record will be if he goes 4-4 in the SEC this year?

14-8 63.6%


Is that good enough for a coach that hasn’t done a fricking thing in his 30+ years of coaching to indicate better things are just around the corner?

it’s true. The patriots would lose 4 games with the schedule poor O has to endure. It’s not fair to mug coach

ll be honest, I haven't looked at the schedules of anyone else. So you are telling us that two other teams in our division play more than 4 teams in the top 9? If so, you are correct then. Let me guess, the answer is no, but you'll have your reasoning for lsu not playing a tough schedule. I wonder if any team has ever played more than 4 pre-season top 10 teams? More than 3?



You forget there are schools that have to play LSU bama and Auburn every year. Or in 2011 when every sec west school had to go up against 3 teams that were in the top #3 at some point.

LSU has no leadership to drive a change with AD or HC. And by no leadership, I mean President, BOS, or boosters. Lastly, the fans seem ok with whatever results Yaw Yaw delivers. “He’s one of us.”

I would do agree here though. UGA, State and Bama in a row is rough. However, the team doesn't leave Baton Rouge in that 4 week span and have a bye week before Bama. They have a bye week then as well, but at least we can recover and as I said never leave home in those 4 weeks.

There's no doubt it's a tough schedule, but as you said, it's spread out evenly and there's just that one road game that is super difficult.

He doesn't want to add any degree of difficulty to away games. It's as if every game is neutral.

Agreed. But outside of that, lsu has #8 Miami, and the two highest ranked teams from the East. #3 ga and #27 Florida.

That Auburn schedule is rough. I bet they are glad they have that liberty game between Georgia and Bama

*Spoiler alert : Bamacessed



While we’re on the topic of schedules. Has anyone seen Bama’s schedule?

A decent CYO flag football team could roll thru that schedule.

I will chop my legs off and feel no pain if we beat those bastards. I hate them.

Yeah, upon further reflection theirs is probably the toughest. Number 1, 3 & 18 all on the road with #6 at a neutral site.

That's my belief as well. Those road games are just brutal. I would rather have LSU's 5 toughest game schedule vs their 4 game schedule with 3 brutal road games and Washington who is very, very good.

Both schedules are tough though, no way around that.
