LSU has not defeated a top-10 team in their stadium (true road game) by double-digits since October 2, 1983 @ Florida (24-13).

There's a reason it hasn't happened in 44 years, and it's not because LSU has never had excellent players and coaches until Kiffin and this group.

Written assurance from LSU that it will not add the two TRO plaintiffs to its roster and paying a fine continuing to pursue the players in violation of an SEC rule.

The SEC will push for a multi-game suspension for Kiffin for his half-time comment. LSU and the league will settle on suspending him for the game this weekend.

Blow out LA Tech with a stadium full of "FREE KIFFIN" T-shirts, and on to Oxford.

Attempted Netflix mash-up of Kiss the Girls and Silence of the Lambs.

DeNiro is way past his prime but his scenes with Michael Keaton were fun to watch. The cowardice and incompetence of the father (Adam Scott) and investigating detective (Michele Monaghan) were grating but better than the typical female supercop trope.

Reasonable C- movie with a few quality scenes. Worth the Netflix viewing, I think.

Intelligent adults can hold multiple views in their brains.

This particular issue is a bad look for Kiffin and LSU and the players involved are nowhere near worth the distraction, as exemplified by the fact that none of them can make an NFL roster after four years of college football.

But Kiffin is the right coach for LSU in this Lord of the Flies world of college football and I am glad he's at LSU.

I get that coaches have a lot going on, but this was flatly mishandled.

The process seems simple: LSU's administrative staff schedules a Zoom call between Coach Kiffin, Jayden, and Pickett. Kiffin and Pickett take the call from Kiffin's office. On the call, Pickett expresses his sincerely admiration for Jayden and respectfully asks Jayden if Pickett can wear #5, both to honor Pickett's high school and to honor Jayden. Kiffin and Pickett both acknowledge to Jayden that they could not fathom any LSU offensive player attempting to wear #5.

Jayden most likely says "yes" and ESPN gets to tell that story during the Clemons broadcast. If he says "no" then Pickett wears #3 but sees that Kiffin tried to make it happen

Why the hell does LSU football employ so many people if they can't get something like this right?

Notwithstanding the $200 million regime change, the reality for 2026 LSU Football is that this team is just as likely to go 9-3 as 7-5. Anything on either side is an outlier and either tremendous or disastrous.

Kelly and Sloan were bad last year but the roster was loaded on paper, just like this one. Someone on this year's schedule will be overrated like Clemson last season and underrated like Ole Miss and Oklahoma last season.

Genius Blake Baker faces at least four (4) incredibly mobile QBs (Chambliss, Reed, Keelon Russell, Byrum Brown), so buckle up for that. And would it really shock anyone if true freshman Faizon Brandon (6'4 Tennessee monster freshman) goes Jalen Milroe on LSU in Knoxville?

Every team in the conference has weaknesses and unknowns. We have a lot, too. Enjoy the ride.

It's crazy to say that every team gets an F, but it's justified.

Football: preseason top 10, ranked as high as 4, to a lost season costing hundreds of millions. F.

Basketball: dead last in 16-team conference. Will always be an F absent crippling sanctions that don't exist for the program.

Baseball: pre-season #2, time at #1, to missing the 64-team post season. Absent an Ebola breakout in the clubhouse with multiple fatalities, LSU baseball failing to make the 64-team postseason is always an F.

Before this season, I thought Jay was too elite of a coach to field a terrible baseball team at LSU, given LSU's resources, fan support, and tradition. I was wrong.

Bama's terrible coach made the playoff last year and prison raped LSU both times he faced LSU. LSU's current coach is 0-6 vs Alabama. But Bama's current coach is trash. Welcome to the internet.

This weekend as a snapshot in time is definitely a low point in my lifetime.

Football 10th place out of 16 teams in the SEC.

Basketball 16th out of 16.

Baseball 13th out of 16.

All obviously unranked and disappointing.
