But in my opinion I feel like these next two games are huge for Kiffin. Optically you need to win at least one of Texas or Tennessee. If you lose both I’d say this season would be an absolute failure. No way this is a 7-5 roster. You’d also have zero wins against a worthy opponent. I feel like these next two games are massive not just for this year but the future of the program.

We need to shell out some NIL money for a QB next year that isn't a functionally illiterate drunk.

Yep. I've listened to Indiana and UCLA fans on this exact point.

LSU is spending 10x to 12x times on players in 2026 than we did in 2024.

We were drastically under spending in 2024 compared to top tier rosters.

No dipshit, obviously not. Don’t try to make a point of comparison and then dismiss it.
Get control of your emotions you mental midget. It’s a football game.

I guess my point is, folks were saying, "LSU HAS to spend more money. HAS to."

Okay, we spent, really, almost $200m to build the 2026 team. That's counting firing coaches (with pay), hiring a new staff, and roster "upgrades".

And this team could EASILY finish 7-5. EASILY and 8-4 is likely. Obviously, we'll see.

And now, some of the same folks who said, "Spend more!", will say, "Be patient!" Like Indiana? UCLA?

Outrageous. I'm not saying that the expectation to win 10 or 11 games and push into the playoffs in year 1 wasn't pie in the sky. I'm saying that losing winnable games to Ole Miss and Kentucky, and being unable to score (with the reputation Kiffin/Weis have) against Bama are borderline inexcusable. Getting outcoached in 3 losses after the first game in November seems inexcusable.

Is that just me?

I appreciate your concession on the merits with the resort to namecalling. I really appreciate that.

I thought we would likely lose 3-4 games this year. So no surprises so far really

Are you surprised that LSU is getting outcoached, though?

(ETA: And not by the Kirby Smarts of the world, either.)

You lost all credibility when you throw out what you tried to draw a comparison on.
You are not a serious poster, just a whiny bitch who feels $cammed. As you keep repeating.

By your estimation and $cam man’s we are spending $200million on a roster for this year.

Throw whatever number out there you want but if Kiffin loses another game or both, this season would be a massive disappointment. You can spin it however you want to but once you remove Kiffins ball bag out of your esophagus it may clear way for some air to get to your brain.

That’s what I thought you over emotional moron.
I’m sorry so much of your self worth derives from a fricking game played on a grass field that you don’t even participate in.
Do better you pathetic frick.
