I think it has alot to do with how Lane and his staff address it. If they come out and say that the #7 and #18 are important to LSU history, acknowledge that its lost some of its luster, and push to restore the culture that makes #7 and #18 special, then it's more than worht it. We remember who we were so we understand where we've come from and learn from our mistakes. If we aren't going to do that, then we should just let the tradition go.

I wonder if this changes anything.

It was Kyle Williams. Playing resume at LSU and Buffalo was elite. Coached in Ruston at LHSAA level.

I have no idea what the right answer is, but I'm already drinking to prelube for kickoff.

I can't wait to feel the energy change when they come out onto the field for the first time. That kickoff. I am curious if we try to schedule a Week 0 game prior to Clemson. I didn't realize that we currently only have two non-conference games scheduled. Truthfully, we may have all 12 opponents selected and I just suck at research.

That's fair and I don't consider them 1 for 1 swaps. Personally, I wouldn't be disappointed if they were both involved somehow.

I don't hate that. I've always been a big Kyle Williams fan, but there's usually fire where there is smoke (him not wanting to coach in college and go back to be with his kids).

I understand that Coach O and Frank obviously coach different position groups. With that being said, would Coach O being on the staff make up for Frank leaving with regards to recruiting the state? Does Coach O being better at coaching his position also a plus, assuming Kyle doesn't stay? I understand that Coach O is also polarizing on the board.

Is there a Sonic near South Lafourche?

I would assume that Saban would influence him this direction because of the potential, but I don't know anything. I think he may have to endure a year or two of middle of the pack finishes here, but his hiring may spark a recruiting and transfer portal frenzy. Saban wasn't a super sexy hire for us at the time, so I have no idea what a knockout hire at LSU looks like. I don't think that BK Elias ever considered that by most. I remember pulling into San Diego for a port call and seeing the hire and being mostly numb to it. I'd be on board to be hurt to see what Lane's potential could be.

I don't have any numbers in front of me, but what I remember from 2nd down runs is that it routinely got us off schedule even when 1st down was effective. I'm no genius and I can't put my finger on the tell or key, but I could call run and the l location about 3/4 of the time. I'm sure opposing coaches are better than me and it reflects on our RBs getting tee'd off on.

I agree with you but it felt like 2nd down hurt worse even though 1st down wasn't great.
