Why? Ohio State isn’t forgotten to Joe. He’s a graduate. Remember, he was a grad transfer. I don’t know if Ricks is an LSU grad. Probably half the fan base wanted him over Haskins and those are the ones still claiming. In Joe’s own words, deeds, and actions he’s a Tiger and Buckeye (my ordering was...
It is silly, though. Not as silly as Nebraska refusing to recruit a legacy not once, but twice. Yes, Joe is an Ohio kid, graduate of The Ohio State University, and I guess The Louisiana State University (although clearly he won a dual degree of Heisman and Nattie at LSU). He claims he's a Bucke...

re: Who's the one coach you DONT want

That’s basically Saban in 1999. Played Kent State. DB coach at Kent State and Ohio State, then some other places up north. Then Toledo HC, Browns DC, then Michigan St HC, then LSU HC b...

Are there high quality Catholic high schools in Baton Rouge? Fickell and his wife are devout. I think he’s a long shot for you. Campbell is who I would go for. Saban wasn’t from the South. I figure you’ll hire Napier, but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more of the same angle with Kiffin. ...

Young Bussey

Happy Memorial Day everyone. Been awhile since I’ve been in these parts. Was perusing the Chicago Bears and came upon this. It’s got a LSU connection so I thought I’d drop it here. The brave Young Bussey. https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2021/5/31/22460871/chicago-bears-remembering-young-bu...
Mike Riley was a disaster for them. Pelini wasn’t awful. He was 9-3 Pelini. Funny thing is, at exactly 67 games, Harbaugh has the same record at Michigan as Pelini had at Nebraska, 46-19. I just think Pelini’s scheme, like Harbaugh’s, has passed him by in this era of college football. Frost i...
That comeback win by Pelini from down 24-3 over Ohio State was 2011 when Luke Fickel was the interim after Tatgate, Luke was completely unprepared then (in 2020 definitely not and Luke would coach circles around Pelini today), and nine starters, including Terrell Pryor, were ineligible. Pelini is a ...
In a normal season it's very hard to replace that much talent from what may have been the best college football team ever (or at least in the discussion), let alone a Heisman Trophy winning QB and both coordinators. Now, throw COVID into it, no Spring practice, no normal Summer session, interrupted...

I’ve got to wait another 28 days, so I may eat my words. But I’m confident I won’t. A lot of teams will be exposed in this strange year. Three teams won’t and they also had no opt outs. ...

I agree the SEC is the best football conference, and most years by a wide margin. Just look at NFL draft numbers. With all that talent in your backyards, however, an argument could be made that the SEC should be much better than it is. There is the occasional season when the Big Ten can challeng...

I wouldn’t include UF, UGA, or AUB in that group, and with the exception of last year, I wouldn’t include LSU. Heck Minnesota beat Auburn last year and the last time UGA won anything I was a senior in high school. Bottom line is everyone needs to play the games, win the games, and then 13 peopl...

This season is ....... well, it’s 2020. What else can be said. In most years, the top and bottom of the two conferences are usually comparable. It’s the wide middle of good teams where the SEC sets itself apart. And you are assuming every SEC team gets in its 10 games this year. But the SEC alw...

The daily rapid testing will avoid the position group quarantines that have led to game cancellations/postponements so far this season. But it’s a valid point. B1G handled this awfully. A national embarrassment. There’s no flexibility in the schedule if Rutgers or Mich State players decide to go...

re: Greg McElroy ESPNU Burrow talk

Posted by Scioto on 9/18/20 at 6:08 pm
Targeted Green 13 times last night, 3 catches. Denzel Ward had a great game and had a lot to do with that. But there was one beautiful throw that Ward made a good play on, but Green should have caught it. Just a perfect throw. The TD pass to Uzomah was also a perfect toss. A noodle arm can’t make th...
I believe I heard a stat this morning in Columbus radio that Burrow took 26 hits. Bengals have to establish the run. He can’t throw it 61 times. That’s a recipe for disaster. He’s not playing against any Big 12 defenses. Steelers twice, Ravens twice, Redskins. Browns again. All very good D lines. ...
Great game from Burrow. That O line, however, especially the right side. Pathetic. Awful. Can’t establish the run if the line is always getting blown up. Shows how good Burrow is with the game he had and multiple defenders in his face all game long. The hits though have me worried that Joe won’t fin...
Roy approves of this message. Dream on boys. You should really be checking your six for the baggage. ...
Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers I guess. ...
It would have been a good game. Your defense was not a typical LSU defense last year and Ryan Day would have drawn up a good game plan. Clemson’s defense was a lot of smoke and mirrors, unlike a typical Clemson D. LSU was advantaged by what Ohio State did, and Brady and Day know each other. Ohio St...
