I get exactly why he answered the way he did. The truth is that being at LSU gives you a chance to recruit better recruits.
So if you are a current Ole Miss player that would make you feel like sloppy seconds. He's trying to not diss his players at Ole Miss. I get that and have no problem with that. The people that are important understand that.
This board could handle that and WILL handle that because that is the inevitable course. Address them as "Captain" and "Captain"!
It's pretty simple for me. He's young relatively speaking, an interesting personality, guys want to play for him, and his career trajectory is pointing up. Others in the conversation are not seemingly as dynamic.

What exactly am I supposed be hiding? Too many posts? Too few?
When exactly have we been beloved?? LSU has never gotten the love or recognition we deserved or earned until it was late in the 2019 season and it was obvious we were going to destroy everyone that stood in the way. I remember telling my wife as we were basking is the glow of the Clemson beat down - remember this feeling, savor it, look at all the headlines over and over because it will be gone before you know it and these memories will carry us through the tough times. And here we are peeps.
I totally agree with you. The man is not lazy and he has an ego like the rest of us. Probably bigger. Is there a chance he's a nice guy doing everything for the right reasons and wanting to succeed so badly but he's just not a good coach? Yes thats fair. I just totally believe he is a very good coach and is just struggling with with stuff he's never had to deal with before like coaching in the SEC and most importantly the NIL monster in the room. Prior to NIL the bluebloods of the SEC were where top recruits went because that carried weight in scouting circles. Now now you have a lot more parity than ever before. Vandy likely wouldn't have Pavia if it wasn't for NIL. We wouldn't have lost what's his lips to Michigan. It's rough time in college football right now. Saban saw that coming and knew it was time to retire. Gone are the days where a Boise State could go undefeated because they played a bunch of mediocre competition. You have 5 star prospects all over in every conference wrecking the status quo. Kelly has a shite show he is navigating. Arguably some of that is self induced by some mistakes he's made - primarily Sloan. Nuss is definitely serviceable. We've seen that from him but with our current OC who doesn't seem to coach to players strengths rather their talents its hard to succeed. We need an OC that is talented and diverse enough to work with what he's got rather the other way around. I'll shut up now except to say I would take Lane Kiffin in a heartbeat if I had the choice.

Thank you. Sounds like the same thing. I figure the truck running in good shape should be worth 10k maybe a little more because of how fantastic the truck is otherwise. So im thinking the smart thing to do is cam and lifters. Compression test first of course to make sure the bottom end is ok. But as I think about it the compression test won't work reliably with bad cam and lifters so it would just be a visual inspection of the cylinders once the heads are off. I feel pretty good that the bottom end is good though. It hasn't been run at all since the lifters left the chat. I have to find a shop that will be honest enough to tell me before proceeding if the bottom end looks bad.

Sorry, yes your right. I forget people on this board are Tiger fans and alumni from all over. Im in Baton Rouge. Distance to travel can't be too far because I'd have to tow it to a shop. It will start but is running so rough it dies at every stop.

Yes, I'm fully capable of doing the work. I spent my younger years as a tech and service writer for two different Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealerships in west Texas. I just don't have the time or patience for it.

Yep very true. If i was going to keep it, that's the route I'd going for sure. With a shiny new Jeep though the truck needs to find a new home.

I would totally love to do that because the sound of a cammed hot HEMI is music to my ears but I have the Jeep now so the truck is taking up too much driveway real estate. I just want to fix it without sinking too much money into it.

RAM HEMI Repair Shop

I'm sorry if this is not the right forum to post this in so im posing here after searching for postings for help landed me here. By the way it would be great if this great site had an "Automotive" section.

So I'm posting to ask if anyone here has recommendations for a shop that they can recommend to repair a Hemi 5.7 engine with a lifter/cam issue. My beloved 2013 Ram that has meticulously maintained left me stranded one day as I was returning to the hospital to be with my wife who was recovering from cancer surgery after a quick shower. Truck is beautiful and looks tough with a level kit and larger tires. Always ran perfect but with 160k miles she finally gave up I guess. Now I am a former CDJR tech so I can do a lot but certain things I can't due to HOA restrictions. Best I can tell after my checking things out one of the lifters seized and flat spotted the cam. Checked everything I can without taking apart the engine to check the cam and lifters because HOA says I can't have a disassembled vehicle in my driveway and it's too big to close my garage when I'm working on it.
So I decided to buy a new vehicle that day, my Jeep Gladiator Rubicon which by the way amazing but I digress. I need to fix my truck to either sell it or just keep it. Problem is I don't trust just anyone to repair it. It's a complex repair. I'm looking for a competent repair shop that has experience replacing cam and lifters on a Hemi. If my garage was big enough if do it myself but it isn't unless I tell my wife she's got to keep her car outside till the truck is fixed which is asking for a marital disaster. So I'm hoping I can fix it or sell it as is. I won't let it go for less than 5k because other than it runs like crap because of the cam and lifters it's a gorgeous truck with a ton of new stuff and every option available and some that have been added.
Anyhow if you actually read the whole thing and can help, send some recommendations my way. Geaux Tigers!
The middle button behind the left side of the steering wheel is what i use to scroll through my presets on my Rubicon.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or you're really this stupid.
Less than 12 or full on retard you should not be allowed to post. Jesus God!
Jesus the stupidity on this board sometimes....
You probably hate your grandpa too you miserable heathen.
You're right. I saw saw the error of my ways. I just broke down and bought the Echelon. Truth be told I love that Hellcat Pro too much now. If someone offered me full price for it I wouldn't sell it. Love both of those bad arse pistols!

Yeah I bought the wife the same gun and she loves it. I'm figuring I'll take a bath on it if I sell it. Just figured it would have the most resale value new in box with tags never having been fired. Put out some feelers with some friends, if nothing comes of that, I'll keep it and just buy the Echelon because it's becoming a necessity now, lol.
