At least they had a neato little trumpet show to enjoy at halftime. So, hopefully that was fun

He was a 5*

That might be the worst coaching hire one of our rivals has ever made.

Obviously there was going to be a drop off and multiple lean years when whoever took over after Paul Johnson tried to move the program back to a more standard modern CFB offense, but Collins was just an utter clown who clearly had no coaching chops.

Say what you will about Brent Key, but at least he’s a coach you can take seriously.

I think the threat to expel LSU is actually about the SEC’s endgame goal of self-governance.

Which means the part they have no patience for is not whether or not LSU’s playing NFL players. It’s whether or not they will abide by SEC rules without taking them to court to try to gain a competitive advantage. And whether or not the President and A.D. are actually running the football program.

At this point, the NFL players are just the canvas that this shitstorm is being painted on.

I know 15-0 is a good trump card, but I will contend to this day that the 2021 Georgia team was better than 2022.

Yes, they had the one loss, thanks to generational-level performances by Bryce Young (Heisman-winner) and Jameson Williams in the SECCG, but dear God, look at every other game that team played that year. The only other game that was within 10 pts was the season opener against Clemson.

The talent level of the 2022 team was insane, but now go add to it Jordan Davis, Devonte Wyatt, Nakobe Dean, Lewis Cine, Jamaree Salyer, Zamir White, George Pickens and James Cook and you have the 2021 roster (minus Starks).

It might be the last true super-team in CFB history.

So what's the plan reckon?..... 2 TE set? 3 TE set? 3 TEs and line one of them up at fullback?

All of the above.

frick it, we ball.

Offensive pass interference shouldn’t be a 15-yard penalty. It should be loss of down and 5 yards.

I know the goal is for it to be the same penalty as the defense would suffer, but a 15-yards penalty inherently hurts the offense worse than the defense because 25+ yards to go in a set of downs is almost always insurmountable.

When you look at our roster, every other position looks to be good to great with known quantities

QB: Gunner returns
RB: Frazier, Bowens and Phillips are back
TE: Ton of talented young guys led by Lawson Luckie’s experience
OL: Mostly returning starters with some very quality depth behind them
DL: Harris and Griffin should be studs
LB: Wilson, Cole and Walker
DB: Stacked at both corner and safety

WR is a question mark. I know a lot of people are counting on Taylor and White-Helton to have breakout years, but if they don’t, you’re looking at a room that is full of guys who aren’t really #1 options. Branch and (when we had him) Young bailed us out a lot last year, and it worries me what our options will be on 3rd and longs if we don’t have that go-to guy out wide.

No…

…BUT, I miss the era of the big, burly running backs just running through people for 1,500+ yard seasons.
