Wow! Multiple people went at you when you said "next weekend.' Fortunately a couple of other people who speak English corrected THEM. To most people when you post Thursday, THIS weekend means the games 2 days from now and NEXT weekend means the games 9 days from now. But hey, maybe they were trying out comedy club material. I would advice them to keep rehearing or find another hobby other than attacking a post that was worded just fine. The verdict on their posts...comedy attempt or not: FAILURE!

I won't be that cynical but you have to be VERY careful with those Duncanville HS guys. The program has been so dominant that many of the star players only play one half of each game. That is because they are so far ahead they aren't needed for the 2nd half. I believe part of Durham's problem with reading the LOS to find a hole/crease is he never had to do that at Duncanville. The hole was exactly where it was supposed to be and he just ran through it. I understand that part about his game. What I don't understand is how a member of the state championship relay team gets caught from behind so much. Maybe that is a sign of his frequent foot issue because no way should ANYONE catch that guy from behind and it happened a lot in previous years.

Incredibly stupid post. I don't want any player struck by lightning and know the game means nothing as a win. Where the game COULD be incredibly important if the coaches play it right is to give less utilized players the opportunity to gain experience. Admittedly McNeese isn't Miss State or even UT Rio Grande Valley that McNeese lost to, but it is "game condition" football. If you don't think, that is valuable then I'm just glad you aren't on the LSU coaching staff.

Who cares about getting great high school classes these days? The transfer portal is where it’s at.

Agree 100%, I would much rather finish #1 in transfer portal recruiting than HS recruiting. You have evidence for the college players whether they can perform or not...for a lot of HS studs, it is just a crap shoot because they haven't faced the caliber of the competition yet on Saturdays.

Overall: 8
I like his coaching style and instilling toughness in the team.
The game plan for the OM game was wrong in the 1st half on Def. I think he influenced that plan knowing TC6. This is the reason I give him an 8 right now.
Our wins are looking less impressive considering how bad Clemson is and A&M will continue to lose games. So we need to clean the UK & MSU games and be ready for November.

I was looking for someone giving the same grade and reasons for slight discount from 10 and you won! :rotflmao: :cheers: I agree that the "play soft" 1st half against Ole Miss probably cost LSU the game...24-7 at halftime and gave up 1 score the 2nd half. It is hard to judge how good LSU is right now because Clemson and A&M are simply NOT good!

Two other things..1) take out the starters earlier when the game is no longer in doubt. Kiffin complains about injuries and yet the probabilities are higher the more plays the starters are in there. Plus you want "next man up"....give those guys a chance to get experience IN GAMES! 2) and my annual pet peeve. Put twin safeties back on punt returns...add an up back. Tired of seeing balls hit the ground and roll with the danger of shorter punts hitting an LSU blocker.

But he motivates the team for every game, makes good tactical decisions in games, seems to play the best players, like the up tempo which if nothing else reduces the chances of delay of game or having to call timeouts, and is a superb evaluator of talent in the transfer portal.

I was impressed with him when I viewed his highlights during recruitment from the Transfer Portal. And yes, it was Hawaii but the competition doesn't affect speed, your hands, and your ability to fight hard for the ball. And remember, he really got 3 TD receptions but of the course one was taken away through no fault of his own...LSU lineman down field.

I would have LSU #8. BYU ahead of LSU is an absolute joke until they play somebody. Utah Tech, Arizona, and Colorado State aren't remotely it. And LSU should be above Ole Miss because Ole Miss won by only 1 score at home against LSU and then gets dismantled by Florida. LSU blows out a ranked team. Florida should have moved up dramatically by beating Ole Miss in the Swamp but shouldn't have jumped 14 places IMO.

Anti-LSU TROLL! Look at the few posts this POS has made. The FSU rumor is utter nonsense and doesn't even belong on even a forum like this one. GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK, NEWBIE....or maybe you are an ALT that has been here before.

I agree that the OL is the weakest part of the team but I disagree that red zone play calling is not an issue also. On two possessions where LSU had to settle for chip shot FGs, the plays were basically the same. I believe in the last failure, it was 2 runs behind LG and then Leavitt rolling out to the right and getting sacked. The previous failure was similar and also on 3rd down Leavitt rolled to the right and got sacked. I was wanting them to try pitches or runs around the end more (jet sweeps included) because Tech was basically selling out in the middle of the line. Also, a misdirection play should have been tried. I don't remember one single draw play or one single screen pass.

Arky, USCe, A&M, Mizzou, UTX, and OU a combined 102 years. They should have minimal say in the matter. Those six schools have zero SEC loyalty. And with Bama, UTenn, UGA, and OM onboard, they just need two other idiots to do just that.

I have 0 proof of this next statement but a hard gut feeling. Of the 6 newest members, IMO 5 would be on LSU's side. Only TX I believe would try to get rid of LSU. Also my GUESS is that either Alabama or Georgia would be on LSU's side. The obvious ones who despise LSU are Tennessee and Ole Miss...once again, they had no problem with LSU until Kiffin became head coach. Teams like Vandy, Kentucky, Auburn, and Miss State (LSU's most played foe) have no axe to grind. In fact, they benefit monetarily for LSU's much better success in football than their own. Can't speak either way about Florida.

Time to disagree on several points including one you just made:
1) Sankey's problem is NOT that he was born in New York...it is irrelevant. His problem is he wants the power in the SEC and thus all of football that the NCAA used to try to have
2) Tired of the terms leftwing and conservative in this discussion. Once again, totally irrelevant terms for this situation. Tennessee and Ole Miss were leading the charge against LSU because in their minds, Kiffin did them wrong (17 years ago and this past season respectively). And some teams are fearful that LSU might become 2.0 Alabama under Saban...Texas and Georgia fit into that category.
3) The NCAA clearly made a mistake on the 5 for 5 policy...I agree with the policy except 2022 class should have been grandfathered in. They did not give those potential draftees all the information they should have had to have made the best decision as far as the draft goes. The NCAA, the SEC, the Big 10 do NOT want to admit that HIDEOUS mistake. So they are trying to keep that from ever being discussed with court filings. Notice the POLICY causing the entire mess is NEVER mentioned. They keep using the word "professional" and don't even mention WHY those players tried to become pros...the stupid timing of the 5 for 5 policy.
4) if people want to give Kennedy credit or Landry credit, that is your opinion. I guarantee the deciding factor in all of this was ESPN...you could tell it by the on air hosts flaming the SEC and their utter public silence by no official ESPN releases that they were in Sankey's ear with threats about contract breach by the SEC due to LSU being disciplined or kicked out
