I just noticed that our mascot has been wearing the new Woodside Energy jersey patch all season.

It's not that bad. Still disappointed they put a price on perfection.

Nuss got slammed against OU from the blind side, landing hard on his throwing shoulder. He was on the ground, reeling in pain… the type of reaction that makes you think he's out for the season... then came back and launched absolute bombs?

LSU and Kyle Williams will have some combination of Gooden, Jacobian Guillory, Dom McKinley, Ahmad Breaux, Shone Washington, and Sydir Mitchell to work with, and that’s not including the three incoming freshman signed

light in the loafers aren't ya buddy?

Yeahhhh Mike dope

Got to love the transfer portal. This is becoming a bit of a phenomenon where more and more players inevitably cross paths throughout their careers. You hear and see these stories of player and coaches’ connections during the NFL Draft but I find it intriguing when a game from 2022 can be studied before the 2025 season to scout a current college player competing amongst future and proven NFL talent.

This is the case for LSU’s latest transfer portal get, AJ Haulcy. Before transferring to the University of Houston, Haulcy started his college career at the University of New Mexico in 2022. Low and behold, that very season, the New Mexico Lobos played LSU in Tiger Stadium. LSU came out on top with a 38-0 victory. This was the first time since 2019 LSU gained more than 600 yards total offense and the first-time snice 2018 LSU held and opponent scoreless.

According to LSU stats and info, #24 AJ Haulcy finished with 10 total tackles, 2 solo and 8 assisted.

Haulcy is active. He swarms to the ball and typically found in pursuit if not already in on tackle. Downhill run stopping safety. He can play very physical.

I watched a replay of the game. I listed some time-stamps of plays Haulcy makes with the most notable being at 1:22:18 where Haulcy chases down Jayden Daniels, makes the tackle, and concusses Jayden for the rest of the game. I vividly remember this play and thinking Jayden can’t keep getting hit like that.

I’m excited for Haulcy to get on campus and lace up for his second career game in Death Valley. Should be a very solid player.

When I arrived at LSU in 2017, weirdos and nerds made up the student section until the Wade brigade took off 2018-2020. Pmac was electric for Wade because he made an effort for student attendance, was very vocal, and a little bit crazy. Students ate that up.

The final SEC standings before the conference championship would be

1. Texas (7 - 1) 2. Tennessee (6 - 2). 3. LSU (6 - 2) 4. Georgia (6 - 2) 5. Alabama (5 - 3) 6. S Carolina (5 - 3).

I hate being the hypothetical guy, but I do not think Tennessee beats Texas in SECCC. Either way, the committee has laid a solid precedent for rewarding those who qualify for a conference championship. So Texas and Tennessee IN (as they currently are). But the log jam of LSU Georgia and Bama is intriguing, considering the committee all but put SMU in before the conference champ. This leaves one spot in CFP, and it most likely would have been UGA over BAMA, LSU, and Miami.

The committee has harped on 3 things: eye test, head-to-head, and strength of schedule. This would have really worked the hierarchy of their own rules.

UGA passes the eye test, BAMA has head-to-head, and LSU has the best wins in the strength of common opponents.

Yes, the bar was significantly lowered this year, and play around the country reflected that.

It's just amusing to me how the sky is falling for some of you, and others remain optimistic. Look, LSU isn't at the table right now, but that doesn't mean we weren't capable this season. We have the roster and coaches to be favored in games at UF and USCw. The sky may be falling if we aren't favored in those types of games in the future.

If there was a world where Dave Wannstedt Day existed, would Ok St Iowa St 2011 be the equivalent of 9/11?

Heard would have been such a solid backup guard. Can't believe our 6th/7th guy is wearing 89 and probably 40 pounds lighter than he should.
