Way more science behind this than the stupid cuck cap

Guardian caps are at least a cushion material that absorb some of the blow. I’ve never understood the NFL not getting away from the hard helmets we know that are used as weapons.

I’m 40, I played football, I love big hits and the sounds they make, but a head gear that softens the impact only seems logical, to me.

Freaking unnecessary Reid

It was necessary because he was burnt & would’ve been a TD. However it was very unnecessary to for a highly paid veteran safety to not be playing over the top in that situation! Awfully stupid

They are keeping some of the seats and the old yellow bulb lighting scoreboard on the lower board to hold onto & honor some of the legacy & history. With that being the reason, I like keeping

Anyone whose opinion changed following yesterday’s game is having an emotional response.

Demario & Cam have slowed down a bit, but still produce.
Demario is still a 3 down LB, probably only a handful or so better, problem is just when will he fully hit the wall & having a contract to match.
Cam is also still proving to be a savvy veteran, even before the 1.5 sack game yesterday. He’s still good against the run & a good spell/situational pass rusher. Similar to Demario he is worth bringing back depending at the right price.

Taysom has been off all year, usually throwing our rhythm out of whack. Glad he got his 3x1000 yard club, truly has been fun watching him over the years, but it’s time to let him ride off. I don’t foresee a contract materializing that would justify his current production

Gay rule of defensive low block, even gayer that he hit him up at the waist so stupid arse call

When is he supposed to find out if he got approved for another year?

Sadly, gone are the days of guys debating returning for their senior year to dominate with their team one final year. The team dynasty histories are broken, however dynasties can still be achieved through puzzle pieces.

With NIL money that will actually encourage more players to stay in school another year since they can get paid without having to go pro, save for those basically guaranteed 1st/2nd rd. Many will likely earn more $ returning a Sr year as opposed to being a late round draft pick.

Portal is meant to pick up a handful of key players, and more developmental or rotational players.
Only teams with a new HC should have to rely on building a roster through the portal like Brian Kelly after taking over for Orgeron, but Lane & 2025-2026 LSU do not fall into this category.

Played recently for 1st time.
--Tee boxes were absolute shite, tough to find level ground for set up!
--Fairways on first few holes were especially tough, tight lies on hard panned grass. #1 fairway had me thinking this was going to be a long day if the course is this dead. None were "great" but they definitely get better than the first few.
--Chipping was difficult on several holes due to the tight lies, after 2nd hole had to switch club & style to less loft unless going over sand/water/mud.
--Greens were in great shape, rolled true.
--Good overall value for price & quality, will definitely play again.

Challenging but playable with a ton of hills everywhere, felt like Mississippi or Alabama type course almost with all of the hills. Quite a bit of water, but I think I only lost 3 balls, and I'm an 18 handicap.

I think he's in it for the long haul considering that he consulted both Nick Saban and Pete Carrol. Both of those guys similar to Lane also had NFL HC experience and stayed HC at a college for 8+ years. He's also been sober a few years, plus just getting a bit older I think he may see value in staying put now and try to build a legacy.

HOF voting is not perfect, and there’s a bit of politics involved in it. However for the most part the committee does a good job at looking deeper than just stats & in the case of a d-lineman beyond just sacks specifically.

But sack stats alone he’s at #18 all time! Are all 17 ahead of him in HOF? What about the next few 19-25?

Cam was never one that you heard commentators say in their discussions with o-coordinators they game planned around him all week. He wasn’t quite that take over the game kind of guy, or at least was not viewed as such because he’s not the quick twitch bend & beat you with speed DE/OLB like most elite sack leaders are. For as much physical ability he has, he always lacked that elite burst, and that’s part of what makes his career even more impressive.
Consistency is his best attribute!
Consistency & discipline to his craft to be a great against the run, both in tackles & setting the edge to turn the RB inside for the LB to get tackles.
Consistency to find inconsistent ways to beat the OL to the QB. He’d go bull rush, occasional speed rush outside, great swim move, good spin move, violent hand fighting, precision timing on his pushes on OL while they’re in step to knock them off balance, and a non-stop motor to keep pursuing the QB on the play after not winning immediately. Some of his sacks came sort of from coverage sacks, thats not a knock but rather a testament to his never quit mentality.
Then you go to how many batted balls he’s had at the line, I’m not sure if that’s a tracked stat or how far back that stat might go to compare against NFL history but that’s just another component to Cam’s game that couldn’t be taught & made him well rounded.
In game/play instincts, as well as film preparation is another thing he’s good at.
Then you also have to factor his health and Ironman career! Thats absolutely elite! And the damn Covid game he had to miss still pisses me off cutting his active streak short
