This will be 99% Blake's defense. It doesn't hurt to have 1% from a Kiffin on defense.

We'll never really know. I don't disagree with you, but we didn't get to see Shough early in regular season action so hindsight is 20/20. Rattler actually had brief flashes, too. This was Kellen Moore's first go at it anyway, albeit in a season with a terribly weak roster. Hopefully the upward trend continues for him as a head coach. I think it will.
My guess is we win at least 2 of the home games with Shough rather than Rattler, which puts us at 7-8 right now. But, who knows.
I'm excited to see Shough with a healthy backfield and offensive line. The line has come together well but we should still probably add 1-2 starter type guys. I would also like to find an additional weapon at WR, in the draft or free agency. I don't hate our weapons at all but Olave is more of a 1A/1B without another 1A/1B. Olave may be a WR2, but another WR2 elevates them both.
I'll save the Ted Talk on the defense for another day.

re: People who were in your lives at Christmas but who are now gone

Both my mom and dad. Mom passed in 2020, and dad just 18 months later. in 2022 Mom did all of the cooking, but my sister and I have taken it over seamlessly. It's still not the same. Dad was very traditional, just paid the bills, disciplined, and got fed...but we still miss him as much as mom. The key for us has just been to try to keep the traditions alive and remember the reason for the season.
I've been wanting to make that. I may make it for Christmas. Thanks for the reminder.

You wanna feel old? A 15 yr old wouldn't have even been born when McFadden was at Arkansas.

Easy to win like that when you have a fertile recruiting area like NOLA to pick your players.
Nola surely has a ton of youth talent, but they are also terribly underdeveloped and undisciplined going into high school. Brown has done a phenomenal job of developing them. I think St Aug has also done a great job, in multiple sports. You can't just win at the upper level of athletics with talent alone. You have to develop, discipline, and play some Xs and Os.
re: Why are so many people suggesting Brice Brown wouldn’t leave Karr?
Posted by DRock88 on 12/19/25 at 6:04 pm to DeathByTossDive225
I think he'd listen. But, he really loves taking care of the inner city kids albeit at a much lower salary than LSU could offer but much less time demanding. If LSU could pull him, it would be a big win for recruiting in Louisiana. Kids all over the state know who Brice Brown is. That would wear off in a sense with him not leading Karr. I'm not sure he has appeal to the prized national recruits yet, but that could quickly change. Pair him with Honey Badger and you have a home run, as Tyrann already has national appeal and is already part of the brand. It may be somewhat of a work in progress in the short term, with neither having experience, but Kiffin and company could guide them in the right direction.

Xavier is a really good comp.
Yes, they're twins.
He's going to blow up draft boards before it's all said and done. The tools are there, he's challenged himself against great competition, and he works his tail off with intention. I'm not as worried about his "size" as some, as he's built very well and very twitchy. I really don't know much about his defense, admittedly.
Even if/when he blows up draft boards, I still think he's a guy that could benefit from getting some polish/maturity in a college program like LSU.
The 27 crop has some absolute dudes, even in Louisiana.

I won't guess on the batting order yet but the names you have are about right. Serna will play. Ruckert, Braun, and Harden are also names to watch. I don't think you can count Pearson out yet, either.
I turned the game off and went to sleep even after the helmet removal penalty. I didn't put too much thought into it, but I just didn't see enough time for SCC to even get the ball back. High school games are so wild.

Wondering the same. I believe the game before ended pretty close to 6:30 pm. I would think 7:30 pm is a reasonable guess.
I don't care if the bear is black, brown, or purple, get me the hell out of there. I certainly think I'd risk myself to save others in the situation, but not for fun.
re: Trinidad Chambliss or Door #2?
Posted by DRock88 on 12/12/25 at 6:55 pm to Handsome Pete
I'm not even sure Chambliss has reached his full potential yet. He could be the Heisman trophy winner next year with Lane and Weis again.
With that said, I'm not sure how long you wait on the ruling and his decision. I would hope they have a very good idea of how it plays out, and a secondary plan in place. Seems like a very tricky situation.
I'd try to keep Van Buren, regardless. I think he fits well with what Lane and Weis like to do, even if he's the QB2/emergency guy.

Flights are cheap but the departure and arrival times are booty.
