If LSU runs the table the worst that could happen is a tie with Auburn for the SEC West. If that happened Auburn would win the tie breaker and represent West in the SECCG. If that happens, then there is zero chance of making the College Football Playoffs.

If LSU wins the SEC West, and the SECCG, it is very likely that they will make the CFP as the SEC champion. Right now the ACC and B1G leaders appear to be shoe-ins for playoff spots. The PAC12 and Big XII leaders look to be on the bubble at best, and Houston needs to run the table to have a shot. The question becomes would a 2 loss SEC champion be more deserving than the champion of the PAC12 or Big XII. My guess is yes given LSU's circumstances and turnabout.

ETA: I forgot about Washington. If they win the PAC12 with one loss then LSU will not make the playoffs.

Alabama is second to none when it comes to taking care of its football players. LSU, and Baton Rouge, may be accommodating, but they do not come close to the special treatment Alabama and Tuscaloosa provide Alabama football players.

The difference in getting the plays called and players ready for the snap was very obvious to even a casual observer. There was time for Etling to look over the field and actually make audibles without worrying about delay of game penalties. My one caution about having specific personnel packages for certain plays is that opponents will not take long to figure out what is going on. So LSU needs to keep making changes in personnel packages that are not clues to play calls.

The problem I have is that this year there is supposed to be a presumption of a fumble, then review. The officials on the field did not presume fumble (or muff), despite the reaction of the Missouri player. If the presumption of a fumble had been made was there sufficient evidence to overturn the call?

I have serious issues with the whole review process. When they review they take all the time to get as close to perfection for spotting the ball and getting the clock right. What makes those requirements so important on the few plays meriting review, but completely irrelevant on all other plays? Why doesn't getting the clock exactly right on all plays matter as much as just a few plays? Getting the clock right is one thing the review process can do accurately on just about every play.

Does the store have decent external cameras? Can we expect video of the event?

Not that this matters, but what event was she attending at SUNO as a high schooler?

Could she have been there in a professional capacity? Underage prostitutes are not uncommon. The bits about leaving the event just raise too many questions.

Dylan Moses, and his family, are entitled to make decisions they feel are in their best interests. LSU fans, and Baton Rouge residents, are entitled to comment on those decisions. Expressing displeasure at the Moses family for ingratitude may be unwise, but it is not unfair. Dylan was afforded opportunities in Baton Rouge that were not given to children without his athletic abilities.

The Moses family has turned its back on LSU and Baton Rouge. They should expect reciprocity. They can look to IMG and the residents of Tuscaloosa, their new communities, to replace the support of the LSU and Baton Rouge communities they spurned.

For a second I thought I got misdirected to a thread n the Recruiting Board discussing defensive linemen.

I flip back and forth on Anne Hathaway. There are just time when her huge schnozola and teeth give me the creeps. Other times I think she is smoking hot. Can proper makeup have that big an impact?

Why are you selling the condo? There are reasons for selling that can change the answer to your question.

Hopefully less arm tackling.

Brando does not have a good relationship with the inner circle of the LSU Athletic Department. So there is no love lost. I take what he says with a grain of salt since I don't think he has any real inside information.

That being said, I don't think too many people will argue with him that LSU deserves some criticism in how it handled the Les Miles situation.

Went tonight. They don't skimp on the portions. Fried pickle appetizer was pretty good. House salad was excellent. Unfortunately, the entrees were too salty, especially the fried oysters. Service was better than most restaurants in Baton Rouge. Place was packed with customers.

As a Louisiana taxpayer, I am sorry that our government caused you the inconvenience of delaying your claim. But the outcome is exactly as I suggested back in 2015. The same thing is going to happen with respect to the credit for installation of solar energy systems.

USC's admin is more fricked up than LSU's right now. LSU is a better job than them right no

LSU's firing of Les Miles may not have been ideal, but USC is the last place able to criticize LSU. Look at how they dealt with Kiffin and Sark, who were legacies from Pete Carroll's staff. Getting rid of Helton after one full season won't exactly dispel any motions of dysfunction in the Athletic Department.

If we continue this shitty play and get a top 10 draft position, along with having $30+ million to spend in FA, we're not that far off.

So the same people making the decisions that got the Saints in the position they are will magically be able to fix things. How anyone can believe the Saints will invest $30 million on free agents wisely has to have been blind to the wasteful spending on free agents that is their history. How much of the $30 million will be spent on players already on the roster whose contracts are expiring? A saving grace of the Saints poor draft history is very few rookie contracts needing to be replaced.

What about depth at OL, DL, LB and TE? There hasn't been a season go by that the Saints haven't had players injured for extended portions of the season. What are the chances that one, or more, of the currently injured players will not make a full recovery such that they cannot play at the same level as pre-injury? The Saints need much more help than your post asserts.
