I am glad that you don't have your hopes up and just "expect [LSU] to compete for a National Championship"! ??

I would hate to see your expectations if you bought into the offseason hype!

These posts make no sense. It's the offseason. There are not games to be played v SEC teams for several months. Why the vitriol for fact reporting on what the Tigers are emphasizing in Spring practice? I like what I am hearing; I would think fans clamoring for more balance would agree. And yet you are here running down the coaches and QB who you think in a very self-entitled way have to "prove it" to you. No they don't. They have to work on it, which is what they are doing.

I find it almost comical (but really it is sad) that we have a returning starter at QB with a big arm and athleticism, we have a solid line returning, we have (at least) three future NFL WRs and the best running back in a generation and, rather than being genuinely excited about how good this offense could be, the cool thing to do is be negative.

What does being homeless have to do with a bad event?

My post was sarcastic. But yes, we do get something if we finish 1st. We get free publicity on air. Recruiting is about momentum and we would have it.

[of course, these only help on the margin]

Just our luck. He will wait, we finish #2 to Bama. Then he signs with us a few days later and we overtake Bama but recruiting is over and no one cares anymore.

According to Rivals, Giles is the top in-state DT. When did this happen?

I think his point is to not be a desperate, creepy jock sniffer that tweets high school boys

I bet every recruit is amazed at how many people unfollow them once they sign. Regardless of who he picks, Giles will lose half of his Twitter followers by 11 tonight.

Texas mods seem awfully confident.

He reminds me of Speedy, Willis, Janzen...

Some times a team is better without a talented but cancerous player.
