re: Worst call you’ve seen that actually went in LSU’s favor?
Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 7/5/26 at 4:51 pm to NOSTRODAMUS
I believe that was the first year they were testing it out. I don’t think you could challenge a play. It had to come from the booth, and there were certain restrictions.
I only remember this because they had the Ohio State/Texas game on at the same time and they reviewed the go ahead TD for Texas that was Vince Young to Limas Sweed to make sure he caught it and was in bounds.

Worst call you’ve seen that actually went in LSU’s favor?
Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 7/5/26 at 10:07 am
First one off the top of my head was Corey Webster pushing off in the endzone to get an INT against Alabama in 2004.
We were down 10-6 in the third, and the tide turned for us (no pun intended) as we went on a 20-0 run to seal it after that.
I’m sure there are plenty of others but that was one of my favorites seeing how pissed the Bama players and coaches were after the no-call.
Link attached below and it’s at the 10:26 mark.

re: What’s the worst game you’ve ever seen at Tiger Stadium?
Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 7/4/26 at 12:02 pm to JimTiger72
To put the cherry on top of the 2024 Bama and 2025 A&M games, we scored meaningless touchdowns with less than 1:00 in the 4th quarter of both games to help bolster the embarrassing final score.
We came close to doing the exact same thing in the 2022 Tennessee game but we threw an INT in the end zone.
Glad it led us to the Lane Train.

re: Why does Baker struggle with Mobile QBs?
Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 7/2/26 at 11:19 am to FriscoTiger
This is a great observation. Is there anything more deflating than your defense giving up a first down on 3rd and long?
I’m hoping with some of the new additions on the defensive line that this will be a huge help.

It’s been a major problem for him, and I don’t know why he hasn’t been able to fix it.
I think part of it is having elite defensive line play, which we haven’t had for quite some time, but that also falls on him to try and change scheme/mix up personnel.
The offense certainly didn’t do him any favors, but we were giving up TDs on the first and second drives of games and have made average players like Reed and Milroe look like Heisman contenders.
Reed only had two games of 70 yards rushing or more last year and one of them was against us.
In games against notable rushing QBs, (24 A&M and Bama, 25 Ole Miss, Vandy and A&M):
44 possessions
24 TDs
3 FGs
61% scoring percentage
In 4 of the 5 games, teams scored a TD on their first two possessions of the game (including when Reed entered the game in the 3rd quarter against A&M in 24).

No doubt about it. Defense was the only reason we were in games that season.
Auburn didn't even score a TD that game. Just kicked five field goals.
It was 0-0 through three quarters against Bama if I'm remembering correctly, and the only reason Bama scored at touchdown was because of a missed holding call that allowed Hurts to run it in.

Pretty incredible we had almost nothing over the middle of the field in the passing game.
With the Sorsby news, why would anyone listen to the NCAA anymore?
Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 6/8/26 at 1:22 pm
Hell at this point, we shouldn’t have any player that is ineligible.
Why would anyone sit out for any reason?
Get ruled out for the first half of the next game due to targeting? Not making your grades? Wanted for second-degree murder? Just want to keep playing because you feel like it even if you’re out of eligibility?
Just have them file an emergency injunction with a friendly EBR judge the next week and they’ll be good to go.
Maybe this is the straw that breaks the camel’s back and we’ll start to see some changes and actual structure again, but it’s sad this is what college sports has become.

re: Top 10 LSU RB’s since 2000
Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 6/2/26 at 9:14 pm to TigerLifer18
He’s not the best on the list, but Addai may be my favorite of all the backs.
Dude was tough as hell. Almost never went down on first contact.
I remember one performance against Florida in 2004 when we just kept getting him the ball on the final drive and Randall hit him in the flat to give us the go-ahead TD with 20 seconds or so left.

re: How crazy is it that Brian Kelly fired Tommy Moffitt
Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 5/21/26 at 7:30 pm to SulphursFinest
I thought it was good for both sides to part ways TBH. Things had gotten stale with Moffitt and those teams in his latter years of 2020 and 2021 lacked a lot of toughness and looked outmatched physically in a lot of games. I was fine with letting him walk but thought it was classless how BK let him go and I believe it only lit a bigger fire under him.
People also forget how awful Raymond was in 2020 and 2021, and that trend continued while he was at Florida. Once Napier showed him the door, he was sitting on his couch before LSU come calling again so let’s not act like he was some hot commodity with people begging for his services.
His contract was even a “prove it” based deal.
I was fine with letting them go at the time, and I would put a multitude of other bad decisions from BK well ahead of these two.

That Vanity Fair piece was much different than I expected
Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 5/11/26 at 1:22 pm
The way it was marketed made it seem like a deeper-dive into him and his story and him coming to Baton Rouge, which I was kind of excited for.
I guess I shouldn't have expected much since it was Vanity Fair, but I had already read and seen 98% of what was written multiple times in ESPN, The Athletic, etc.
Only real items of note were at the very end when he said that the Confederacy symbols were a problem with recruiting at Ole Miss, and LSU is essentially the hotter girlfriend with adult money, but we already knew the latter.
Other than that, it was a white liberal magazine writer's piece on how black athletes are only making millions of dollars instead of tens of millions in college football, and that we need to diversify areas that have too many white people.

re: Kentucky governor chiming in on UK athletics
Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 4/22/26 at 11:35 am to Tiger2tiga
I indicated previously that the situation was different.
The article also stated that this is coming off of the heels of Kentucky football firing Mark Stoops with a massive buyout, and basketball struggling after getting rid of Calipari.
Coincidence? Maybe so, but athletics struggling was implied as a reason he publicly voiced his displeasure in the article.
Board of supervisors/trustees are appointed by the governor of both schools, so that's well within their right to do as he/she pleases regardless of if we agree with it or not.

Saw the article on ESPN earlier this morning. Link attached below. Apparently, he isn't too happy about some of the decision-making going on, including giving a seven-figure salary to the retiring AD for a new position with "no defined duties".
To be fair, it's a bigger concern if you're going to compare it in a vacuum to Landry poking his nose into the firing and hiring of football and basketball coaches.

re: Garrett Nussmeier is the top headline on ESPN right now
Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 4/3/26 at 10:44 am to sgallo3
This QB draft class is very weak outside of Mendoza.
I have been very critical of Nuss especially how he has performed in big games, but he is easily the third best QB by a mile when the other options are Drew Allar, Taylen Green, Carson Beck, etc.

re: "Messy" and "Clumsy" hire

There was one small sentence in the release announcing Wade that just said he replaced McMahon, but that's all I've seen.
re: "Messy" and "Clumsy" hire
Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 3/27/26 at 8:42 am to ThePoo
Maybe not for Kiffin, even though I think LSU handled that entire situation masterfully. You didn't hear a peep from our side and anything that was getting out was coming from Ole Miss's side.
There wasn't some huge lead up from the media about it for this coaching search. Mostly just speculation on sites like this and podcasts, but pretty air tight for the most part.
Really didn't hear about how we actually courting him from the media until Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
A big part of that is we never actually fired McMahon until we had Wade in the bag. Then we pulled the trigger.

"Messy" and "Clumsy" hire
Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 3/27/26 at 8:20 am
Seeing a lot of objective journalism out there from the mainstream media about how this hire was "messy" from CNN and "clumsy" by that idiot Pete Thamel from ESPN.
When in reality, this is exactly how you want the search to happen. Under the radar, and quietly getting your ducks in a row, and making sure it crosses the finish line. Just like we did with Kiffin.
Then they talk about how much dead money we have on the books from football and basketball buyouts, when no one should give two shites about it when:
1. The fans aren't paying the buyouts
2. You see who we brought in and look at the current state of both programs now compared to what they were.
A lot to be excited about in LSU athletics in the future.
