Hitting 5 distillery tours tomorrow. Gonna be a fun weekend

Such a weird game. Winning at halftime and the crowd was alive then we come out in the 3rd, seemingly already dead, and immediately give up a punt return TD and the wheels fell off.

third and two from the three yard line I was convinced that we were going to see something tricky. Instead we run into a stacked line and lose a yard.....I mean, that's Les Miles latter years all over again

Lane specifically said that he was playing with 2 downs. 3rd down was to set up 4th down but we didn't anticipate losing a yard there. Even if we just got back to the LOS we would have gone for it.

I genuinely don't think they'll be able to methodically move the ball like they want to. They'll live and die by the shot play and the question becomes: are we already up when they hit it, and by how much... Conversely, they're probably going to sack us a few times and cause havoc in the backfield. We need to get on the board first and establish the outside run to keep their edges honest.

If they hit a shot play to make it 17-7, we'll be fine and we'll be able to control TOP. If they hit it early and go up 7-0 it changes the flow of the game in a really meaningful way.

Meeting is still happening but expulsion of LSU is not a topic of discussion.

Marketing at tailgates is banned so it may be tough to get a company to host it unless it's over there by PFT. More likely that someone here will open up their spot to you and your crowd depending on what type of party you're trying to have

Apologies in advance for the length. We're getting close to game time so I wrote something up as if it were going to be the narration on a hype video. Likely won't be but I nerded out. Feel free to use it if you're the hype video type

We know how you feel about us
We've heard it
It started when Coach decided Baton Rouge was where he wanted to be
Then came the portal
And somehow, every time another name chose us, the noise got a little louder
Lawsuits…
Threats…
Everybody suddenly had something to say about how we're doing things
And maybe they're right…
Maybe we're everything they say we are
But while they've been worried about what we're doing in Baton Rouge...
We've built something they should probably be a lot more worried about because now…
They have to play us

And this is Louisiana
2 colors
3 letters
4 notes
They mean something down here
You learned them from your father and he learned them from his
Different generations but the same ole Louisiana Saturday nights
This place has seen Heismans
Championships
Legends
But the names on the back have never mattered as much as the letters on the front
Because when you wear them, you carry Louisiana with you
Every parish
Every living room tuned in on Saturday night
Every Tiger who came before you

We've seen great teams here before
We know what they look like
But something about THIS team feels...
Just Different
And soon the Golden Band will march down Victory Hill
the sun will find its home in the western sky
and it will be Saturday Night in Death Valley
The Pantheon of college football
Where 102,000 become one voice
Where the earth shakes
Where the chain of rain is… NEVER
And when you hear the best sound in football
the LSU Tigers going to war
they'll learn why THIS is truly a place where
opponents’ dreams come to die

Maybe I'm in the minority here but I was a fan of the tiger head silhouette. Sad to see it go. Everything else looks great though.

Heard a couple people mention that he's turnover prone but the stat's just don't support that. Brooks Austin said that recently and it surprised me a bit.

However, CLK isn't one to offer up tons of praise and he's been speaking extremely highly of him so I'll roll with that :geauxtigers:

Actually not opposed to this IF they simultaneously rule that you cannot play if you 1. have ever signed an NFL contract or declared for the draft, and/or 2. have already exhausted your 5 years of eligibility.

This fixes the NFL issue and fixes the issue of players like Chambliss and Johnson who are ineligible per the 5 for 5 ruling from playing as well.

in theory, if the NCAA/SEC's stance is that they already exhausted their eligibility then it would be a bad look to say they can only play at the school that they were initially at. That would make them backtrack on their own exhausted eligibility stance. Furthermore, if the SEC rules that they either have to return to their previous program or transfer out of conference, and then they transfer out of conference... the SEC would then be directly responsible for improving the roster of a school in another conference. Looks to me that they're best move is to express their disagreement and frustration and then let the courts play it out, but if the conference office meddles in this there's no way they come out looking like the moral hero... which truly is the only reason they'd involve themselves to begin with.


Again, I don't like it. But the NCAA screwed this up and CLK is putting himself in the best position to win with the circumstances the NCAA created. As is Sark, as is Ryan Day, and frankly as is Golding.
