perhaps a bullet point or 2?
Little tip for you: You actually have the option in Youtube to ask gemini questions about the video. Here's what it gave me after asking for some bullet points:
quote:

Minor League Performance: Anderson posted impressive numbers in Double-A, including a 41% strikeout rate and a 4% walk rate. However, the host warns that high-success, changeup-focused pitchers in the minors often struggle more in the big leagues than those with dominant fastballs or breaking balls (0:36-1:34).

Four-Seam Fastball: He sits at 93-94 mph. While the velocity is average, he benefits from a high arm angle (48 degrees), which provides good vertical movement ("vert"). Success will depend on his ability to consistently locate this pitch upstairs (1:43-2:19).

Slider Profile: On paper, the slider is average, but it is highly effective at generating whiffs. The host notes a 51% whiff rate against right-handers, suggesting he gets good results by throwing it in the zone (3:19-4:57).

Command vs. Control: Anderson displays elite command (evidenced by his 4% walk rate), but it remains to be seen if he can sustain this level of efficiency against major league hitters. He is a command-reliant pitcher rather than a pure "stuff" pitcher (5:24-6:33).

Fantasy Outlook: The host recommends picking him up but advises caution, noting that his profile relies on the entire arsenal working in harmony to succeed at the highest level (6:57-7:12).

bad wording on my part because he definitely does ramble :lol:

I meant that he's not going to spill tons of information. Said that wrong.

more interesting than listening to old angry BK
I'm gonna disagree here. BK gave very good info in pressers, provided tons of media access, and was generally pretty friendly with the media aside from a few times that he got heated. Lane runs a much tighter ship, and he's not going to ramble to the media because he's just not interested in it. Glad BK is gone, but he gave us a ton more info during Fall Camp than this staff. That's not necessarily a good or bad thing, but we had much more to talk about in August last year compared to now because of all the media access that was available.

re: Video to Get You Hyped

Nice work! Definitely made me feel something! A little feedback if you're open to it:

Maybe went a little too long for a hype video, and the opening 2 minutes of blue balls nearly made me click out of it :lol: Try getting more clips from the replay angles next time rather than straight live TV coverage shots. If you overlay the live TV audio or even some of the LSU radio calls over that, you'll be cooking. Gets a little repetitive after a while with only the regular broadcast clips.
I always used to notice when I still listened to that anytime I was near powerlines (the light on bluebonnet and perkins for example) it was be unhearable.

You think this guy could come in here 2 weeks before the season starts and make a difference over the guys we already have?
Absolute worst case scenario he is a body, but do you honestly think he hasn't been working on his game? He didn't just give up on football over the past 8 months - he entered the portal because he's probably still able to contribute to a team. Even if that's our CB3 4 or 5, it would add some security where we desperately need it.
I unfortunately have not been to many non-LSU football games, but I did happen to attend LA Tech vs Nevada in 2008. Pretty random, but my dad had some girl he was seeing in Ruston at the time. Tech was up 31-14 in the 3rd quarter, but Nevada's QB started balling the frick out and came back to win 35-31. He threw for like 400 yards or something.

That QB would go on to be a pretty decent player - Colin Kaepernick. Had no clue who he was at the time.

Is Aliou Bah locked into that RG spot? I haven't heard much mention of whether there's competition there

re: Opening Game with Clemson

Posted by iamandykeim on 8/19/26 at 12:04 pm to
Clemson is much worse off here. New guy at QB, bringing in zero offseason momentum, new faces all over the OL and DL.

LSU, however, is at home, carrying tons of offseason momentum, and holds a significantly more talented roster.

lots of hate coming your way, but this is fantastic in my opinion :lol:
Harlem, Dilin, Caden, Gage, Gainey, Guillory. Seems like a pretty deep room with pretty damn good upside to me.

There are about 64 independent voters. Some decided to rank them, many didn't. Putting Clemson in just because would have been very dishonest. They are not a good enough team to be ranked, and it will be made clear why that is in 19 days.

ETA: This is the first time in 15 years (2011) that Clemson is not in the preseason rankings.

re: Possible alternate uniforms?

Posted by iamandykeim on 8/17/26 at 7:56 am to
I don't like the black and the tiger stripes, but there are pieces of this that are cool. Using the tiger alone on the helmet could work if done right, and "Louisiana State" on the jersey is cool, too. I don't think LSU plays with that "Old Gold" as much as they should.

re: What is Daniels memorable game?

Posted by iamandykeim on 8/14/26 at 11:31 am to
600 yards on Florida was pretty fricking cool to watch. The game against Texas A&M was amazing, too. A&M's defense was playing really well that day, and Jayden just kept coming up with clutch 3rd/4th down plays to keep them scrambling.

Florida 2022 was another one that gets past some people. That was the first game with LSU that he showed off his NFL arm. We were coming off an absolute beatdown from Tennessee, and he came out in Gainesville slinging that rock. The next few weeks we'd get top 10 wins against Ole Miss and Alabama, but it felt like the Florida game is where Denbrock really unlocked Jayden's potential.

Nice to remember these things. Jayden's a good dude who just made a really bad emotional decision this week. Still love the guy and think this will get smoothed over at some point.

I wanted him to come back for his last year, but of course, the dinero was calling.
he was out of eligibility and was the #2 pick
Agree to disagree on what the word means to each of us, then. I'm more saying that it's unfortunate to us, the fans, that he chose to be so childish. Unfortunate that one of our best players in program history is wanting to dissociate entirely over stupid, petty shite.

I think we can at least agree that it's unfortunate that we're all talking about this rather than the 2026 season. Will be a great year regardless of what # Pickett is wearing :lol:
quote:

That’s overboard. Do you really think any fans now HATE Daniels? Look, I think Daniels should not have done what he did but I still love what he did for LSU. Certainly don’t hate him. He made a mistake. Geez.
I don't personally hate him for this. Like you said, he made a mistake. You and I both know how our fanbase is, though. If LSU puts his face up on the "Tigers in the NFL" slides on the video board, just listen to how many boos you hear. A great number of LSU fans will be spiteful and ignorant about this.
quote:

Unfortunate? What’s unfortunate about this?
His extremely poor judgement is what's unfortunate. Unfortunate to LSU, its fans, and to Jayden himself. The guy was totally loved by this fanbase before today. I consider it highly unfortunate that he chose to turn this situation into such a mess. He's been a total child.
I said last year when Weston was struggling that you can still see some very high quality play from him on several snaps. Last year's offensive scheme was so unfriendly to offensive linemen. They had to do so much thinking and be so technically precise for the running game to have any chance. Kiffin's offense is going to make things a lot easier for physical freaks like Weston to just go hit people. So excited to watch his rise this season.
BK decided to side with Jayden's wishes, who he had a good relationship with to be fair. Kiffin's not gonna play the politics games - only sound logical decisions from the new ball coach.
Better to wait until they sell it as Pickett's official jersey. I think some of the $ goes to him when they eventually offer that option.
