Ya'll are melting too hard

You mean losing a close game on the road to a top 10 team with a talented quarterback equivalent to Moses in college football years isn’t the end of things?

But seriously it depends on how we respond.

SFP, are you saying unless we are perfect 15-0 every year, its unsatisfying and worth complaining about?

This I disagree with strongly. I was entertained.

Is LSU perfect? No. Are they fun to watch and still deserving of support? Yes!

I said LSU had to weather that early emotionally driven onslaught to win the game. They didn’t.

Chambliss threw for 248 yards in the first half and Leavitt played the entire first half, until the final drive, horribly. Baker and Kiffin came up with a gameplan that was really soft because they were afraid of Chambliss.

Once they settled in it was too little too late, but they did claw back and have a shot to win it.

This team has some great players but no one was seriously expecting a national championship this year. We knew we were not that good. Lane scrambled to put together the best team he could. Had Chambliss come to LSU, which I believe he should have we might be talking about much better team. As is neither team, LSU nor ole Miss, is now suited to do that. But Lane tried and has put together a far better team than we would have had with BK. The trajectory of the program has moved in the right direction with some tremendous nil pickups. We got beat by a very good 6th year qb and a great and physical rb for ole miss. Once Chambliss is gone ole Miss will return to a lower tier of the SEC again.

Are you under the impression that "good" teams don't have any flaws?


They do. They are just even better in other areas to make up for them.

Define not that good.

A top 5 team? No. Anybody that thought we would be was only kidding themselves.

A top 15 team with a chance to make the playoffs?
LSU is definitely that. It just depends on how much better they get throughout the season.

Even in the NIL/portal era, teams aren't built in one offseason.

Look at the current rankings in college football.

LSU is in the top half and should be.

I’d take being competitive relative to the CFP, which is now approaching the 7th consecutive season of not happening.

Thank you.

The better QB won that game.

The better team won last night. LSU may end up being better 10 weeks from now but as of week 3 Ole Miss is the more complete and put together team.

This LSU team is not a national championship caliber team yet. And people bought the fools gold off that inflated Clemson win.

LSU invested in this years roster to start the rebuild. To show the fan base and future recruits that we’re serious and going to build a national championship program again. If we were to somehow win a championship this season, that’s honestly an accident and you can downvote me all you want, but it’s true.

We showed a lot of positives last night. We battled back. We were legitimately a couple plays away from winning that game. 2 that stand out. The missed tackle on that 4th down on their last drive. We make that play and we go down and probably win it.

If Sam hits Grace on 3rd and goal at the end, it’s a 2 point game with a chance to tie.

And enough can’t be said about the Pat Mahomes flip pass. Chambliss is a 26 year old NFL QB playing in college. He’s going to beat a LOT of teams this year. He IS Ole Miss. And once he’s gone, Pete and Ole Miss will become a back burner program.
