Certainly. It doesn't help LSU recruiting for other SEC teams to win college playoff games and advance far.
I realize that for many on Tiger Droppings, women's basketball is not a high priority, despite LSU's solid tradition, especially its national title a few years ago.

However, this is a significant story, which will obviously become more significant if that 7-1 post becomes eligible.

Texas Tech is a vastly improved program anyway from last season, at 17-0 after last night's victory at West Virginia.
I was wondering if I missed an earlier post about this topic, as I am a "Johnny Come Lately" sometime.

As reported in the Midland Reporter-Telegram on January 6, 2026, "Stephanie Okechukwu, a 7-foot-1 freshman who joined the team Friday, sat on the Texas Tech bench."

She awaits an NCAA ruling about her eligibility. She would be the tallest player in the history of women's college basketball."

Billy Truax was a great Tiger and a solid NFL tight end as well.
So is Miami deemed the lesser of two evils?

But I am rooting for the Hurricanes tonight.
I believe those who are really well informed now that Kiffin did not quit on his team.

I hope it has not negatively affected LSU, and perhaps we'll see what happens in a few months when we get a good look at how the transfer portal players look and down the road, if they can work effectively as a team.
Vince was sensational and that was great.

For the older fans, the 1969 game as Texas edged Arkansas, 15-14, in a huge game between two outstanding teams was also one of their greatest.

That was actually a late regular season showdown between two top 5 ranked teams.
This is sad. I just checked in to see how the Tiger cagers are doing and it sounds like sadly, more of the same.

Expectations are not good.
Not a surprise.

A highly regarded player who did not meet his potential.
So based on the responses of this thread, I am not sure exactly how tall Chambliss really is.

Hope he sticks with the Tigers.
I believe most Tiger fans say that winning two of the last three national titles is plenty good proof Jay knows what he’s doing. And Coach Mulkey knows what she’s doing as well, given her track record.

I like your point about how the football team should consider not playing such a tough opponent in the season opener. That hasn’t worked in recent years. It should be something Kiffin looks at very closely.

re: Offensive Line Discussion

I looked at these OL threads and did not notice any mention of maybe the highest rated one in last year's class, Solomon Lee of Jacksonville, Florida. I recall he was injured so not available this season. Hopefully, he will stay and be ready to go this spring and next fall.

Has anyone heard much recently about his status?

And the other was a four-star OL recruit from Mississippi, Tyler Miller. I wasn't sure what happened with him also.

It's asking the near impossible to limit a very capable offensive team like Houston, played at home with NO PLAYERS OPTING OUT, and likely the nation's top tight end.

Meanwhile, LSU has its top safety, its top cornerback (and one of the nation's best) and two experienced capable linebackers not available.
I am hoping David Lafleur’s son is still there and will be ready to go full blast next season.
After looking at his last few blocking attempts, it may be a good idea for Davis to transfer.
It’s obvious a new playmaker is needed.

Just need to tolerate it.

The Kiffin interview provided us with a helpful distraction.

Let’s get an offer to him ASAP.

He should easily be an upgrade over Chester.
Then excuse yourself off to other threads while those who are interested post.

Lane Kiffin thought enough of "this guy Wolford" to name him as OL coach.

Since he seems to find solid OL coaches, this should turn into a decent hire.

Let's see how Wolford does this spring and then can make more informed judgments about him.
