I voted 25x for Crews, but I'll be shocked if Ivan Melendez from Texas doesn't win the award this year. Batting .421 with 28 HR's and 85 RBI's is absolutely insane. Not to mention more walks than strikeouts.

What an absolute joke to not have Damone Clark included on the 1st, 2nd, OR 3rd team. Dude straight up led the NCAA in tackles this year and should have won the Butkus award.

I might be in the minority, but I don't blame Paul for this loss. At some point the players have to step up and take ownership, and it just didn't happen tonight.

In the grand scheme of things, we control our own destiny, so this game won't make or break things.

Curious if anyone was heading up to the Ole Miss game on Saturday, April 24. I am wanting to drive over to watch the Tigers, and would like to buy a ticket, if available.

I'm not going to argue Nick Saban cementing his status at the top, but Finebaum can get on with this "greatest team" crap. I don't want to keep living in the past, but any unbiased fan would admit 2019 LSU was significantly better all-around. Clemson and Alabama last year were good enough to win national titles any other season. And LSU DOMINATED both.

Alabama this year has yet to beat a significant contender. College football has been weak at best this year. Give me 2019 LSU -7.5 against 2020 Alabama.

I agree with this argument, although I personally would like to give Coach O one more year (I think a Natty combined with 2020 allows him that chance).

As we saw with last year's team, there is no harm in relying solely on your coaching staff to get the job done. However, you should be subsequently graded on your coaching hires and recruiting, two areas he has yet to prove himself outside of bringing in Burrow and hiring Joe Brady.

Serious question, but without the injury to Myles Brennan, would this year's offense be that bad?

I thought the offense in games 1-3 was pretty solid (save for the run game). Obviously has fallen off since then, but would Joe Brady be able to save us from this situation?

If you are interested in outdoors activities, Pinnacle Mountain State Park and Two Rivers Park/Two Rivers Bridge are great areas.

A number of breweries and cool places to eat downtown, most of which are currently open.

The Heights and Hillcrest areas have local restaurants and stores. There is also outdoor shopping at the Promenade, and indoor shopping at the MidTowne Shopping Center.

You also are a short drive to Hot Sprigs or Petit Jean State Park, if nothing in the town interests you.

Heading up Friday with 10 of us!
