KY’s third down conversion rate is God awful. LSU’s third down conversion rate last year was awful. What did those teams share in common?

It’s extremely frustrating: she has Fla higher than us, even though they got crushed by #25 Mizzou and we lost a down-to-the wire close one to Ole Miss, who was #8. And she ignores the whoopin’ we put on aTm. But at the end of the day it won’t matter because we still need to beat Texas or ‘Bama. 10-2 with that win gets us in the playoff all day long, especially because it comes late in the season, while a loss to a top5 Tx or Alabama would be a “quality loss” that we won’t get too dinged for.

There is no place in the world like a Saturday Night in Death Valley when the place is rockin.’ Enjoy man!

I don’t like the guy, but McAfee starting “Neck” TWICE in the first minute of Gameday was awesome!

C-O-N-N UCONN UCONN UCONN!!

I went to college in The Basketball Capital of the world but my mother's family has been at LSU in some form or fashion for a hundred years so it became an adopted Alma mater of sorts for me, and I was lucky enough to send my boy to school at LSU. My wife and kids didn't get the LSU love until our son’s freshman year. But one Saturday Night in Death Valley was all it took for them to “get it.” They’re now die-hard fans and will absolutely swear that there is no place in America like Tiger Stadium when it’s rocking. Pick a good game, spend the money, and soak it all in. No matter what it costs, it will be an investment in a memory you’ll never forget.

Geaux Tigers!

I’m as big an LSU fan as anyone and Jay is a great coach, but as a UCONN grad I have to say that there is no current coach who holds a candle to Geno Aurriema. His stats are ridiculous, and he has been consistently excellent for four decades. His teams on multiple occasion have gone years in a row without losing. It’s unreal.

This really is the only proper response. Nothing more needs to be said.

I don’t want to watch his open-mouth gum chewing every week. Guy eats like a cow.

I suspect the booster meeting was scheduled and the decision was made well in advance of the aTm game. At one point in the first half, the camera showed Shaq on the sidelines. I’d be surprised if he just happened to be at the game that took place hours before a big booster meeting was held to discuss firing a coach. Instead, I suspect he was there for the meeting and went to the game as an aside.

All this crap about zone reads, position blocking, “scramble to throw” and the rest misses the point that football is and always has been a simple game- your 11 guys knock their 11 guys backwards and you’ll win. Kiffin’s appealing now because he scores points and moves the ball. But my sense of LSU football has always been that it’s at its best when the D is just nasty and beats people up, and the O pounds the rock. I’m not saying we need Lester, but we do need someone who will bring back a bully culture. Not sure who that is, but it ain’t Lane.

That’s very nice of you. Thank you.
