Exactly. Alabama over the last 15 years told their 18-22 year olds that their brand was more important than their Desire to wear “hot fire”. Those 18-22 year olds put their vanity away and still performed well on the field with just two uniforms.
frick off with all of this.
Bama, Texas and USC are the only programs that haven’t worn alternates in recent memory. Bama DID do a Nike Pro Combat back in the 2010s, but it wasn’t much different than their typical. Every other “traditional” program you would try to hang your hat on has in just the last 5 years.
No one else, even Bama and USC, has the potential to the same uniform for an entire season. Neither wears white at home, so they have different home and road uniforms. We don’t, hence the need to inject some variety. Even Nick Saban hated this and brought back the Purple jerseys for one game per year because the players wanted SOMETHING.
Was this taken too far the last two years- sure. But as long as we aren’t deviating from school colors like UT and A&M did yesterday, and limiting to one or two alternates per year, then there isn’t an issue. We will probably wear all white on the road for a game this year. We’ve seen the purples twice for the non-cons and that’s a good balance.
Here’s another way to look at this- every jersey variation, whether it’s a throwback like we had a few years ago, or a gold that pops up occasionally, is more money for the program. A program that we know needs funds to pay off debt from firing coaches, paying buyouts, and rev share. Every new variation sells more jerseys and makes money. This is NOT a bad thing, especially with shitty-looking Adidas out there throwing more money than we get from Nike at UT and Ole Myth to make a splash.

Yeah, and Mike norvell turned FSU around….
This is a stupid comparison, likely in the service of pushing an agenda. Norvell had 1 good and 1 great season after a rough start at FSU. And then once everyone else started paying as much or more than him for portal players, he fell off dramatically and returned to his level.
Kiffin had 1 .500 season and then 5 straight successful ones in the SEC at a program that hasn’t had extended success since the fricking 60s. These aren’t even REMOTELY the same.

people would begin comparing them to the 15-0 national champion 2019 LSU Tigers
This is the point he was trying to get across. Pate wasn’t making the comparison himself. He was saying that the media would start in on it. They almost went that far before the Mizzou game.
Pate loves to stir the pot to get more engagement. He has a good show when he sticks to talking about football and he’s developed some of the best sources across major programs in the business. But he also does shite like this to fan flames and gets on his soap box about the playoffs (which he was spectacularly wrong about for the first expansion) and other issues in the sport. The sideshow stuff gets pretty old.

The program is night and day different than the soft arse weak drunk BK era. It’s nice having a coach that is engaged and setting a standard
It’s crazy to me. BK SEEMED like the coach who would bring that kind of accountability and attention to detail here based on his results at ND. His teams there never had the best talent, but they were disciplined and executed. He sure as hell talked a lot about those things, but other than maybe 2022, we never saw it on the field. And it only got worse, culminating from the middle to end of last season. Talking doesn’t get it done.
4 years ago I would have laughed loudly in the face of anyone who told me Kiffin would bring that here. He’s always been an offensive mind, but his teams always had a habit of losing focus and dropping games they shouldn’t. He still trolls and does what he does, but he’s a hell of a lot more serious as a coach than he used to be. It’s not just this moment. The way he’s approached the LSU job has been different. It’s easy to see he’s trying to turn a page here and really apply everything he learned from Saban and Carroll.
The proof is in the pudding. We’ve seen the team sleepwalk through too many of these FCS and overmatched opponent games over the years. There were still mistakes last night, especially by the 3rd team and lower guys, but the 1st and 2nd teamers executed and did their jobs for 3 quarters. And the few who didn’t, like Watkins and Clark, got benched and the guy behind them got it done.

I like seeing this level of competition in the RB room. Gage had a tough game vs Ole Myth, but he looks great tonight. Berry had some nice runs, as well.
Duce looks pretty good back there. Kid is just an athlete.
Glad the United WiFI is holding out so far. About to take flight from Denver to Orange County, but glad I can still watch the kids get run in the 2nd half.

Agreed, I don't know why more college defenses doesn't play man/press coverage. It forces college QBs to be more accurate...
Many of the most common routes, especially over the middle, are designed with man coverage in mind. When you mix up coverages like we do, you are looking to fool the QB into throwing right at a LB or DB who is moving into a zone rather than defending a man, or who is showing Cover 2 but really shifting to 3 after the snap.
Teams played a fair amount of zone vs us last year because Nuss struggled to read it and avoided the middle when they did it. And DCs knew Sloan didn’t have a playbook full of zone beaters. But with an OC like Weiss, we don’t have to worry so much about that.
Most average or worse college QBs may struggle with accuracy vs man, but they usually have a harder time reading a zone quickly if it’s run properly.

These guys gave Bama fits early. If LSU comes out and handles those guys like weve been doing outside of Ole Miss, we are in for an incredible season.
Their offense depends heavily on the run and they just flat couldn't do much on the ground vs Bama at home. They had a fluky defensive TD, one real drive, and then they got worse offensively as the game wore on.
They have a good defense, but they worse down in the Bama game. We just have to do the same things- no big plays, keep it all in front and make them be perfect. Minchie isn’t a bad QB, but he’s no Superman. Make him beat you with his arm and then lean on their D when he can’t.

The NFL.
It’s not close to the same.
The NFL is an EXTREMELY rigid system. It has very clear rules and they can enforce them without debate or protest because of their antitrust exemption. The Union and CBA lock in all aspects of pay and dealings with the players.
The NFL is also more professional in its dealings. I have a feeling you won’t see a rule on the NFL’s books saying a 70% majority can vote a fricking team out for no reason.
The NCAA is attempting to get some of its power back with its current bill before Congress, but even with it passing they wouldn’t have the stability of the NFL with its CBA. And the conferences currently have even less stability and no current path to an antitrust exception.
Now that the SEC and other conference rules and bylaws are being tested, we see how half-asses and weak they really are. They need to get their fricking acts together.

It's really hard to plan man against mobile QBs. Baker wanted to force Reed to throw
What is the word Nick Saban says most when talking about defense- MULTIPLE. You have to be multiple against any given scheme or strategy or the OC will easily figure you out.
Guess what, casuals- you can’t be multiple against any offense, especially one with a mobile QB, unless you can adequately play zone and hybrid coverages.
The keys are being able to disguise and not tip your hand before the snap, swapping zone types so a QB can’t bank on where the gaps will be, and to mix up where pressure will be coming from.
As much as people are complaining, we’ve played zone better this year than last. Chambliss is good enough to beat a lot of defenses even when they execute. We had just enough injuries, busts and guys leaving assignments early for him to take advantage of. Most of QBs we face aren’t close to his experience and football IQ level.

We are a press man team. Tired of seeing soft zone.
Every team is going to mix it up today. It’s just a matter of how much. A well-disguised zone will frick up a lot of college QBs. The key is not busting or leaving assignments and not being too passive and reactive.

Looking at LSU's brutal schedule, not just November but October as well when you factor in injuries and the brutal parity in the SEC, would it be possible for LSU to make the playoffs with 3 losses? Granted the 2 additional losses would have to be a TD or less loss?
It’s inevitable at some point. A 9-3 team with all good losses and enough good wins will eventually make a strong enough case.

But yeah, I’d imagine next year he’s gone unless Sam left for the draft and Landen is told he’s the guy.
That depends on what he values and who comes offering. If he is well-paid in NIL and sees a clear opportunity to start for 1 or 2 seasons after Leavitt (assuming he stays another year), he would have an opportunity to run an offense that features QBs and gets them all drafted.
Would he leave that to go start at a school like Texas or USC- probably. Those aren’t likely, but they are great programs that have talent and can feature a good QB.
Would he leave to be the starting QB at Iowa or Iowa State? Maybe drop down to a G6 program that will pay like South Florida? I think that’s debatable.

Likely just a dickhead trolling, but you never can tell. There are many here who are just this stupid and casual.

But that’s not what the SEC did here. They took a scenario with no actual rules violations and threatened to vote a member institution out of the conference because they didn’t like what was happening. No investigation, no due process, just a (threatened) vote among the other 15 presidents/chancellors. That type of self-governance is not sustainable IMO.
But the ridiculous conference bylaws allow for this. It is pure “might makes right” majority rule.
With the money in play in the conference today, this has to change. Guidelines for due process need to be added, as well as a requirement that no team can be voted out arbitrarily, but has to violate specific rules for such a vote to be allowed.

8. It’s a good start, especially considering all of the new players and injuries.
It’s not perfect. There are definitely things to fix, especially with the offense, but it’s easy to see the improvement and the high ceiling, especially in the future.
