This was almost a year ago, back in January. It’s not recent, but i keep seeing all over here that “O doesn’t want Briles, etc”. We had a chance, not sure if he still feels the same way. I assume he does given our budget for coordinators..

My mom lives in Fayetteville, so i go up there a couple times a year. Pretty town, especially if you are driving on I-49. Dickson St is the hotspot for bars and entertainment, but it is right by the campus, so you will see a lot of Arky folks. The downtown square is pretty cool, most stores close by 5ish though. Penguin Ed’s and Whole Hog BBQ are the 2 good bbq joints there. Rogers is the nearby city (team is staying in Rogers Embassy Suites), and they have the Promenade Shopping mall, but it’s outside not indoors. A lot of good stores (99 total i think).

Bama is legit, but pump the brakes. Bama has yet to beat a team with a top 25 win with Tua at QB. How they look against a good defense remains to be seen. And don’t say GA in natty game last year, Kirby schemed completely for Hurts.

I live in Arkansas, this team is not good at all. But I’ve seen too many games in the past where we become their super bowl, and we play them like we are playing an FCS team. GA and Bama of course are better teams, and that’s why they will be taken seriously. Will we play down to our competition? That’s what the pattern has been so far this season.

Hear me out. So far this season, we look like a competitive team in top 10 match ups. Both games were followed up by performances that left most fans desiring more, even though we handled business and got the W. OL was in a war in Miami and Auburn games, and that created the need to rest starters/nurse injuries in the following games. Georgia will not come into tiger stadium and leave with a win. Our players will be hungry, and i think we will be just fine. Miss St is off the week we play GA, and will be rested and ready to give us their all. We can’t rely on backups for that one. Bama has yet to beat a team that has a top 25 win with Tua as QB. GA schemed for Hurts last year, Tua wasn’t expected to play. A&M lost by 22 at Bama. That’s the one ranked win Bama has, and they were #22. Bama is hands down the best team we play, but we held them to 10 points last time they played here. We will have the usual 2 weeks to prepare too. Arky is awful, but they remind me of the 2014 team where we were their first SEC win. They had 2 weeks to prepare for us, and we had a war with Bama the week before. The only trophy that’s in play for them is the damn boot, and they actually had more rushing and passing yards than Auburn. Hope we come out for that game like last 2 years, and not like the Miles days.

Missed second straight practice yesterday, which is slightly concerning since the Miami game is in 18 days.. anybody heard anything? Could be completely unrelated to injury (personal and given privacy, off field conditioning exercises etc), but I think the 1’s need to be cohesive by game 1 given Fehoko’s switch to NT. SIAP

My family knows his parents, he’s not going anywhere.

Maybe i missed something, but i thought he had parted ways with LSU even after the Tennessee deal fell through. He is still listed on staff though?

As usual, catastrophe syndrome is in full effect anytime interest in our coaches is made. With Aranda, i have already seen that he was leaving for A&M just days ago for 17 different reasons that were all ridiculous to say the least. Now here come the Green Bay rumors... Step back for a second and think about this. Green Bay paid Capers one of the highest salaries for a DC in the NFL (around 2mil a year). Aranda currently makes just shy of that currently, it’s not like we are an FCS team with a dynamite up and comer that makes $700,000 a year. Second, Aranda has a family that he cares greatly about. Why would he want to pack up yet again after only 2 years here for the first NFL team that comes calling, especially when it’s in the same state of the school that you just left?? He said this just a couple of days ago:

LSU officials believe Aranda is happy in Baton Rouge. He and his wife Dione have two daughters, Jaelyn and Jordyn, and a son, Ronin.
“It’s great,” Aranda said Friday when he met with reporters here for the only time this week. “My family loves it here. The kids love their school. My wife has a good network of friends. I enjoy the people I’m working with.”

Dave Aranda will get a DC job in the NFL when he is ready, this isn’t a once in a lifetime opportunity. But there is no reason for him to uproot his family and cause them to have to once again start all over in a new city with new people, especially with his oldest daughter Jaelyn. Ask any military family, they hate moving. No reason why he leaves. Everyone calm down!!!!
