Somehow LSSLM&A and LSSL don’t have the same ring to it as LSU. Might be tougher for the band to spell out LSSLM&A in pre-game.

if they are fully eligible and "officially" on the roster for this year, why not post them on the website


Under NCAA Bylaw 17.2.1 (tied to House settlement roster limits), an institution must submit its roster for each sport in the designated system (CAPS) no later than the calendar day before the first contest or date of competition used for championship selections, or December 1, whichever is earlier.

So, just as we learned with football, the official roster is not turned in until 1 day before the season starts.
On the mobile app if you click on the game it says Exhibition. On the mobile web site the exhibition games are in a separate section at the beginning marked Exhibition.

but if we had to cancel/forfeit/


Do you really think LSU would cancel an exhibition game? I have no doubt he will field a team for exhibition games or regular season games. If the roster is good enough to compete in the SEC, that remains to be seen.

Do to the timing of his hiring and late start recruiting, I will not freak out if the team doesn’t win to your liking this year. I wouldn’t take that as a sign at all that Wade can’t win here. He’s already shown us he can.

I was one that wanted to give McMahon a fair shot. He got it and didn’t produce. I wasn’t in the camp that we had to replace him with Wade, but now that we have I think he needs to get a fair shot and will ultimately win.

It should be one transfer for everyone and another one for those that have graduated and have an year of eligibility.


My understanding is that in addition to one time free transfers it does leave graduate transfers in effect unless that was changed by an amendment.

I read early on this would stop any new lawsuits filed for five for five, but anybody already granted an injunction, like Trinidad would not be affected. There has been a lot of amendments filed so I’m not sure if that’s still the case with the final form of the senate bill or what form the house bill will be if passed.
You lost a bet and they made you post this, right?


Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

From what I understand of the 5 for 5 rule, that isn't a thing anymore.


Beginning with this year’s freshman class, it’s not. For the class of 2022, five for five doesn’t apply to them, which is why the NCAA invited so many law suits. For anybody else in school when the rule was adopted, the player has the choice to use 5 for 5 or the old rules(red shirts/medical redshirts), whichever is most beneficial for them. That being said, that doesn’t mean a medical redshirt would be granted.

This is from Luke McCown about a Saints game but he explains why he thinks sliding feet first is riskier. Basically feet first head up, your head is a target and will get hit backward into the ground. Head first you can see better where attack is coming from and adjust to avoid. Sounds good but I don’t know if there is any data to back it up.

I could have sworn in the preseason there was some kinda of replay assist bullshite penalty that was called on us.


Most penalties are not reviewable. I didn’t watch much preseason, however sometimes they experiment with rules, like reviewing more things, but return to the regular rules during the regular season. That might be what happened. If their preseason experiment goes will, they could add this to the following regular season.
I agree completely but in Reggie Bush’s rookie year, he was being pulled down by his facemask and they punched the ball out. It was obvious that it was a fumble but the facemask was obvious too. After review they ruled that one a fumble.

I wish I could upvote this more than once.
Second week and quit on the team already. You must be running out of teams to quit on.
If we go D first and they score, then we know what we have to do on our possession. If they score a TD, we have to go for it every 4th down. If they don’t score, we know we can just kick the FG to win.
