So you're saying there's a chance...

It really is all good but I truly don't understand the downvotes.
I don't understand how even one person can't understand that spending 54 million over 6 years for a non-contributing entity will absolutely cut into what we can spend on our roster going forward.

Unfortunately LSU owes it. It signed the contract. The problem is in what world would us paying 54 million to someone with absolutely zero return not impact how much we can spend on athletes and roster over the next 6 years.
It's not an exact zero-sum game, but resources are not unlimited. If our donors are paying $10 million a year for someone that is not even on campus in addition to 10 million a year for a new coach, how much does that cut into player salaries. It's not dollar for dollar but supposedly we paid $18 million for our roster last year. Take 10 million out to pay Brian Kelly and now we have 8 million left for our roster. Again that's not exactly how it will work but it will absolutely impact what we can spend on players if we're paying 20 million a year for coaches for the next 6 years

re: Looking back, I think Chris Hilton has been the biggest disappointment
Posted by BBQ on 11/10/25 at 5:20 pm to nicholastiger
Chris Hilton is a speedster. We really can't protect long enough to throw a ball down field. His advantages disappear when every ball but one for the entire game was thrown less than 20 yards in the air.

re: Baker is overrated. He’s very good but not great, let’s be honest.

Details. I didn't see it but interested in the commentary

Line up and run that mother all night. Give Nuss a second or 3 to play action and hit the deep ball.
Actually made me smile. This is exactly the Les Miles offense that everyone ranted about. We went from radical physical approach to radical finesse approach. What we learned is that any offensive approach, if ineffective is truly hard to watch. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. Apparently it's really hard to prepare a team to be able to do both.
re: With Van Buren clearly the next man up, how long before Hurley exits?
Posted by BBQ on 9/24/25 at 11:18 pm to homemadeshine
This board is so reactive. Coaches are bad we want them fired. Coaches are good we start worrying immediately about who's going to take them from us.
Van Buren looked great, but he literally looked good for one quarter against an FCS School and now we're trying to figure out where Hurley is going. Just let it play out. Life gets really miserable if you're constantly looking at the worst case scenario. Most of the time it never happens, when it does you deal with it.

Just want to make sure I got this straight. The previous poster says we're going to wear gold/white/gold. You quote him and then complain about us not wearing gold/white/gold enough.
The weather has turned cool. It's the SEC opener, at night, in TS, and we will be wearing our traditional unis. So it felt like it was a perfect time to complain about the fact that we might not wear traditional unis some other time this year. Got it.
I probably bellyache as much as anybody. But sometimes the Stars line up. Allow yourself to enjoy this one and then come back to complain the first time you see unis you don't like. In fact you won't even have to start a thread cuz they'll already be five other threads complaining about it. Just my O2

I agree with the others on here. It is worth getting there early enough to park and get to the hill / Mike's habitat by 4:00 p.m. you're 11-year-old will thoroughly enjoy seeing the players/ band / cheerleaders making the Tiger walk. Then be sure to be in your seats by 15 minutes before kickoff so you see the pregame four corner salute. Should be a great day for you guys. Night game, first SEC game, etc.
re: Holding penalty on last punt
Posted by BBQ on 9/3/25 at 1:37 am to IvoryBillMatt
My personal opinion. The powers that be want to take the return game out of the game. It's the most dangerous play in football, but there would be a revolt if they actually tried to remove it.
So I believe those same powers that be got together several years back and just simply said we're going to throw a flag on every single freaking return. We're not going to change the rules, we're just going to flag every return until coaches just fair catch everything. We're literally going to browbeat anyone who insists on making this a part of their game.
The percentage of punt returns with some sort of infraction feels like 70 or 80% across college football. And they got what they wanted.... Most teams just waive the arm, catch the ball, and call it a day. I knew that flag was coming as soon as there was a return of over 10 yards. Such foolishness must be punished.

re: Is intentional grounding not a penalty anymore?
Posted by BBQ on 8/31/25 at 10:44 am to Tigershatebama
Agreed. It became obvious that anytime Klub was in the grasp he could just throw the ball any distance or direction and it was an incomplete pass. Didn't matter about tackle box, line of scrimmage, or if anyone was in the area.
Definitely cost us a couple of sacks last night and took down in distance away from our defense. The defense stepped up and made the stops anyway.

re: I haven't seen enough praise for Blake Baker
Posted by BBQ on 8/31/25 at 10:28 am to stephendomalley
Man, first truly dominating defensive performance years. One game. And we now have entire threads about who's going to steal him for a HC next year. Maybe it will happen, maybe it won't. But he's ours this year just enjoy the ride. Catastrophe syndrome much?
Herbstreit got my respect a couple years back when Corso first started struggling. Lots of people complaining, saying they needed to remove him from the show. If you think that makes it hard for you the listener, imagine the other guys on set and how it affects the flow / timing. But Herbie came out strong and said this man is a legend, and as long as he wants to do this I've got his back.
Those couple of sentences even changed how I viewed the show. Maybe with a little more grace that I should have had to start with. I think Herbies always been more than fair with LSU, even when he picked the other side. I know there's some here who don't care for Herbstreit, but he nailed that one

re: Is Coach O a security blanket for CBK?
Posted by BBQ on 8/23/25 at 3:43 pm to homemadeshine
You've put a lot of thought into it, but I just don't even see the need for the debate right now. Keep hearing everybody say cbk has to go to the playoff this year or else. Or else what? If we go 9 and 3, miss the playoffs, he's still not going anywhere. I honestly believe he's safe for a few more years unless he literally goes O on us and starts having 500 seasons. Just too much money. And with the high school and portal classes he keeps bringing in I don't see him going 500. Not to mention that while you're paying him off you're taking a gamble on a new coach that could very well do worse. Look at all of the people LSU was wanting to hire over Brian Kelly 4 years ago. Most of them have already lost their jobs or are close to it. It's just not as cheap to fire and easy to find a winner as everybody thinks. If Elite coaches grew on trees everybody would have one. I'm not sure if BK can win a National championship. I think it's at least a possibility. But I think his floor is a lot higher than a lot of other people we would take a gamble on right now

Don't get it twisted. You were irrelevant for years in football until, by no fault of yours, it became legal to pay players. Suddenly you became relevant again. You are simply the richest school in the SEC, not the best. Money Matters now, and you guys simply have the most of it. Congrats now that Championships can be bought and not earned.
