No comment on his abilities, but he was a big LSU fan from way back. In his early days as a student and journalist in Chicago he claimed he could pick up LSU games on WWL (New Orleans) on his car radio so he became a big fan of LSU football that way. ...

re: Willie Gay hear say

What else could we expect her to say to the people around Starkville. For all we know, her employer is a Miss. St. graduate and/or supporter. Being his mother, she probably does hope he stays home and can say that to people honestly, but to him she can also say he has to make his own decision. ...

re: LSU offense moving forward?

Posted by JP46 on 1/21/17 at 1:49 pm
A more creative offense (more difficult to read) and less predictable play calling might help our OL look a lot better than they have in the past few years. They have had to do everything the hard way. ...
Well, I will put it like this. As I recall the Florida game, LSU looked to me like they came ready to play. Maybe it's a matter of degrees (of focus), and maybe they weren't at 100% following big games against Alabama and Arkansas, but they played pretty hard for most of the game and well enough to ...
I don't agree with you - they looked focused to me. I have seen many times a stronger team outplay its opponent and still lose the game because of critical mistakes. Yes, I know that the critical mistakes are often due to a lack of focus, but not always. Fumbles are a part of football - you work har...
Agree - good information and much appreciated. ...
I agree that with Canada's offense and Orgeron as HC the whole year, I think they could have been undefeated. The SEC was not that strong and I think Canada (w/o Les Miles handcuffs) could have scored 13 points on Alabama. ...
Not sure - I saw in one story that Aranda thinks he can be used in a variety of ways, inside and out. ...
I didn't say that LSU should favor early enrollees or that early enrollment should be a primary consideration. I just wish that more of those that we need and want could enroll early. ...
I hope in the future that LSU can bring in more early enrollees, especially in the case of the very best players who will probably only be here three years. I think it is a trememdous advantage for any recruiting class. The spring conditioning program and spring practices gives them a nice head star...
"...counter recruiting visit?" I doubt it would be intentional, but if he visits and gives prognosticators reason to believe he might sign with LSU, then it might well have an adverse effect on the other LBs who are considering LSU. Remember, Willie Gay, for example, was very interested when he...

re: Phillips CB'd to LSU

Posted by JP46 on 1/12/17 at 10:44 am
I wouldn't say "certain" but I feel REALLY good about getting him to LSU. He has always liked LSU, and he wants to play in the "best conference" (his words) and where his family can more easily see him play (many SEC games will be within 4-5 hour drive: Vandy, Kentucky, Alabama, Tenn, Ole Miss, Aubu...

re: Best 2 sport athlete of all time? LSU

Posted by JP46 on 1/8/17 at 4:30 pm
I think Cannon is the greatest easily - 2-time All American and Heisman winner in football, and had world class ability in the 100 and in the shot put. I think it was Alvin Roy that said Cannon could have been a contender in both the Olympic 100 meters and the shot put if he had trained for it. Of c...
I might get pissed off, but first I'm gonna be shocked....

re: What do you think?

I doubt that Aranda's defense will give up 17 points per game as predicted by the writer. I know we lose some good players, but we have some good ones coming up too, and a more advanced edition of the Aranda defensive system. ...

Distance factor for Cam Akers...

Posted by JP46 on 12/27/16 at 3:09 pm
The difference in football game travel for Cam's family, between LSU and FSU, is even more pronounced if you consider all the games, not just home games. Almost all of FSU's away games are up and down the east coast, even farther away from Clinton than FSU is. His family can much more easily get to ...
I have heard coaches say that players need to play to develop, but one of my chief complaints about LSU under Miles was that LSU far too often played down to inferior competition. This is not too uncommon in college football, but the really good coaches find ways to maintain a reasonably consistent ...

re: If successful, is the O model sustainable?

Posted by JP46 on 12/19/16 at 10:38 am
Besides having to hire a new coordinator every couple of years, maybe even both of them, there is the additional problem of luring the very best out there to LSU. If we have the best already, then there is no where to go but down when we have to replace one of them. Who would be the equal right now ...
I agree - you cannot out-work Saban, and the demands he makes on his staff and players means you cannot out-work them, either. I noticed even when he was at LSU that trick plays didn't often work against him - you could try reverses and throwbacks, etc., but his players almost always stay home and t...
I agree - IMO Jimbo should be achieving more in that conference with the advantages he has at FSU. Actually, I won't be very surprised if the OP ends up being right about next year. LSU has been so hamstrung with stale, predictable offense and lackluster performances for so long that it is hard ...
