This phrase is older than our country by a good bit. It’s originally a position in the Catholic Church to take contrary position in arguments for canonization of saints.

Only 12 conference wins is not sufficient to get into the regional. Especially with our lackluster overall record. We would need a good bit more than two wins, and even then I’m not sure.

45 days before the draft is the cutoff for that, I believe.

If you do it won’t be till after the Oklahoma series. Both because you shouldn’t overreact to one SEC game for Evans, but also because it gives an extra day rest after a Thursday-Saturday series. For any hypothetical skips forward.

Grabbing some to go pizza after the baseball game and it’s on TV while I wait at the bar.

It’s capitalism. People spend money on what they choose to care about. Most care a lot more about football than they do about the academics. Can’t make people choose to care about the right stuff just because it should matter more.

The government stopped pretending they care about LSU being an institution with any sort of academic rigor a long time ago, anyway. Admissions standards are a fvcking joke now, and the people in this state won’t take steps to change that because higher education is for liberals anyway.

re: How far will Lane take LSU? What can LSU fans expect from him?

He'll likely struggle to recruit heavily from traditional high school pipelines

This is where you lose me. Why do you say this? Because he couldn’t at Ole Miss? I mean it’s hard to recruit when you’re sharing your state with another SEC school and Bama and LSU also reach in and take what they want.

He may not be the world’s best recruiter, and we may not get every recruit we want but I doubt we’ll see significant problems in consistently getting blue chip players from Louisiana and East Texas.

Lane won’t have to build entire classes in the portal anymore. If he can just get a few names every year to supplement the train will run fine. I’m not saying it’s Natties every year, but I expect to see LSU performing like it should consistently for the first time since the 00’s.

re: LSU should bring back the Tulane series.

Posted by Purplehaze44 on 12/20/25 at 9:54 am to Bubbles Up

LSU would want to play the game in Tiger Stadium every year, especially now that we lose a home game every other year.
Even if we lived in a world where LSU actually wanted this game and were willing to settle for home and home (which we never would) we would want to play them in the Dome when we go to Nola and split the revenue. Tulane would want to play it in their Mickey Mouse stadium.

It won’t ever happen. Which is a shame, but there’s plenty of other runts in the state.

I still don’t understand this narrative. He left Tennessee for USC, sure. But there is not a single other time where he hasn’t done what was an objective move up in his career that everyone else would take. OC to NFL head coach, Fired as NFL head coach, and becomes a college head coach. Tenn to USC*, then after getting fired at USC he becomes Bama’s OC.

Then OC to head coach, FAU to Ole Miss, Ole Miss to LSU.

Other than one move (which arguably was the right choice anyway) where do you think he just got bored and left?

He may leave us for the NFL one day, but he isn’t leaving us for anything else.
