Not sure what OP means regarding brown bags necessary for the tailgating area. I've walked around with beer cans for years, there are no open container rules as far as I know. Also, one or two beer vendors in the stadium? Last week they were selling beer every 50 feet, they were even selling beer at...
Perhaps the teams have met in the middle...
Good catch, although not sure I'd call an 8 point win over a team that went 0-12 the year before a 'spanking'. Point is, even though LSU has won, it's been relatively close except for that 2 win Arizona team....
Very few SEC teams go out west and beat Pac-12 teams in recent years. I believe the only ones to do it this century are LSU against the Arizona schools and Georgia at ASU. And the ASU games were very close....
You would be surprised at how many conservatives live in Los Angeles. The conservatism here just lacks the religious component you find in the south....
[quote]Which one? The one who had 1 Rec for 15yrds or the other who had 1 Rec for 13yrds against Hawaii? I’m more concerned about them blocking than receiving. [/quote] The first one...
FWIW, I have yet to visit a restaurant that required this, and I live here....
[quote]Any other information you have? Please feel free to share [/quote] A couple other guys I'll mention: Sean Rhyan, who should be a first round pick in the NFL next season and maybe the best tackle LSU faces this season not named Evan Neal. He has the power and body type of a guard but tackle a...
[quote]I gotta ask, how long can a guy at 360 lbs last in a game? Conditionings gotta be hell at that size. Especially against an elite line like LSUs where they’re 8 deep[/quote] We generally platoon our guards under Chip, to keep the biggest guys fresh since there is a lot of running and pullin...
It was good to see Mafi get the start last week. A 360 pounder should match up much better against LSU's tackles than Clemens, who might be 290 soaking wet....

[quote]What’s the open container laws like while tailgating? I looked it up and it said it’s prohibited in public places unless permitted. [/quote] In the tailgating areas there are no open container rules, you can walk around with whatever you want. No mask rules either....
Ultimately, yes I would be pretty satisfied with a 10 point win...

re: LSU UCLA attendance

Posted by Bruin2010 on 8/30/21 at 10:37 am
I would expect about double what the Hawaii attendance was. While the announced attendance was 32K, I was sitting in the stands and there probably wasn't more than about 15K in the actual seats. It was about 100 degrees at the game, and a ton of fans were sitting in the shade outside of the actual s...

re: Calibrate your expectations

Some computer ratings from last season: FPI: LSU 28th, UCLA 29th SP+: LSU 45th, UCLA 46th Sagarin: LSU 38th, UCLA 46th So not a ton of separation between the two teams' performances last year. UCLA returns more proven production but LSU has more recruiting talent. Throw in situational fa...

re: Chip Kelly knows Offense

Posted by Bruin2010 on 8/26/21 at 4:39 pm
[quote] This. Plus Chip isn’t known for his adjustments or game planning. His philosophy is that they are going to do the same 5-6 things over and over again and just be better at executing those plays than the defense is at stopping them, especially after the defense begins to tire from the HUNH. ...
How would this affect the currently scheduled return game for UCLA in Baton Rouge? I would hate to miss out on that....
Chip's run game switched to more of a gap scheme last season, with lots of pulling, trapping, and unbalanced formations. You won't see them them just lining up and blasting people, the scheme is based on messing with the linebackers' gap responsibilities from play to play. It's a bit like an option ...
[quote]If you are coming from Santa Monica, my suggestion is to ride the Expo Line on Metro rail to downtown, transfer to the Red or Purple Line to Union Station, and then take the Gold line to Pasadena and take the free shuttle from there to the stadium. The traffic into and out of the Rose Bowl is...
1) Cornerbacks - It looks like last year's starters have been supplanted by two newcomers, which I see as a good thing but I need to see them play in a game. 2) Defensive line - This unit is big and should be decent against the run, but we need to find a pass rush without blitzing. ...
If you can manage to get a parking pass for one of the lettered lots south of the stadium (A,K,H,I) exiting takes no more than 15 minutes. You might have to pay $50+ on Stubhub to find one but I find it's well worth it....
