re: LSU Should GEAUX Independent

Posted by weptiger on 10/16/26 at 2:59 am to
Big Ten is the only financially comparable option, but LSU faces academic hurdles to admission (not deal killing). Independence is unattractive for all sports and the Big 12 doesn't offer comparable television revenue.

I think they need to break Stanley’s back and stay put.

Understood, but Kiffin is supposed to be different. Clearly not to this point which supports what I was saying about frustration.

Losses to bigger brand teams - understandable. Kentucky. No.
I think there is a growing frustration with the endless coaching grift of the post 2019 Orgeron years leading to the Kelly alignment years to the trust Lane year. Tack on a loss to Kentucky….Kentucky of all teams…and there has been a hit to the positivity scale.

. Maybe not, but it could also be argued that with this reelection loss he is just being who he actually has always been.
Moore may be the best amongst Benson, Loomis and himself. Yet he is likely to go first because Benson isn’t going anywhere and Loomis retains some level of respect for something he did a long time ago but clearly can no longer deliver.
And the number of people once on TD putting forth that this guy had some level of authenticity and greatness to him.

My gut feel on the record is 7-5 or 8-4.

Texas and Bama are expected losses. Also, Tennessee while middling, is a road game, fan base will be wound up given LSUs coach and LSU is a poor road team in recent years. I don’t have a good feel about the Knoxville game.
Appreciate your analysis.
quote:

they re-hired Will Wade and hired Lane Kiffin, and those signals were, "We intend to play fast and loose with the rules."
On this point Kiffin simply changed teams from Ole Miss to LSU. Not sure how that plays fast and loose with the rules. Again, the players that sued the SEC were never rostered by LSU.

gay mean boys.
well if they are from the left that is likely an accurate description. They probably like Broadway theatre as well.
A core tenant of the rules is that you don’t break them. I doubt there is a single member of the SEC that hasn’t broken a rule.

Even though, in this situation, no one can point out which rule LSU allegedly broke yet they are expulsion worthy according to Sankey.
Now this choice is a real world problem.
This team could go 7-5. Bama, Texas and Tennessee (middling team but LSU is an awful road team).

You are seeing the uptick in frustration over this program lacking winning consistency since 2013. Yes, LSU caught lightning in a bottle in 2019, but the consistent 10 win seasons are longer gone than people realize.

I think Kiffin deserves substantial criticism for the Kentucky loss.

With 1:46 remaining, LSU faced 4th and 1 leading 27–24. Kentucky had no timeouts. Kiffin punted.

Convert 1 yard and LSU wins the game. Punt and you're asking a Baker defense that had struggled all night to protect a 3 point lead. Earlier in the game, LSU successfully converted 4th and 1 with a 14 yard run.
Your approach ended up in a lost game yet everyone else is floating at 50% IQ.
I lost confidence in Kiffin after the Kentucky loss. He’s a bigger ball of nerves than I realized, and his decision making has been neither consistently sound nor aggressive enough.

And Baker? Giving up 35 points to Kentucky? What are Texas and Bama going to do to this defense?

The larger problem with this program is its lack of consistency. If you set aside the 2019 national championship as an outlier, you can argue that LSU’s last sustained run of high level football ended around 2013. That marked the end of a four year stretch of at least 10 wins per season, including the 2011 national championship appearance.

LSU has had plenty of talent since then, but it hasn’t consistently competed at the highest level but for 2019. That’s the real issue.

To be fair Will stein is a good coach
Understood, but his team was very beatable.
Our coach can’t beat Pete Golding or Will Stein.

I think the LSU money folks have been fooled.

re: Outcoached. No excuse for this.

Our coach let that little bitch Will Stein out coach him embarrassing for the money they were paying.
No, we always run the childish fake geaux for it and take a timeout. It’s predictable and child like.
