re: Tailgating at Vandy

Posted by Gmichels on 10/14/25 at 2:59 pm to
Curious about the same thing myself. Not sure how it is set up around the stadium as I am most other SEC stadiums.
I was there in 2019 and it felt like 70% LSU fans, not expecting that again but wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of Purple & Gold. Will be there again this weekend and hoping to see another W in Nashville.
My guess based off of what I've seen this far,

1. Caden Durham
2. Ju'Juan Johnson
3. Harlem Berry
4. Zavion Thomas
5. Malachi Lane
Anyone know what the tailgate situation is like at Vandy? Taking my wife and mom to the game and don't necessarily know the layout of pregame festivities.

My understanding is that their "TV Numbers" are low, granted it is the early slot on FS1 which does play second fiddle to ESPN. That being said, a lot of the Barstool viewership comes from when it is viewed on Youtube or clips posted on twitter. One of those weird spots where, yes, traditional viewership has been low but there is more eyes on it than people realize.

Mubenga has improved dramatically since last season, especially in pass pro and Chester played better against Tech than he did in any game last season.
That's fair, I guess I can see that but I go back to my childhood. When I watched "Major League" or whatever rated R movie. My parents would acknowledge profanity and just make it be known that you can't say that stuff as a kid. I'm doing the same for my son with STTDB, not okay to say now for a kid but lets not act like its the end of the world.

re: Should LSU pursue Nico Iamaleava?

I know what you mean. He is undeniably a better QB than Van Buren & Hurley. Nothing against the, but they don't have his arm talent. You could put anyone in the country on that UCLA team this year and they would look terrible. I don't hate the idea.
Genuine question, why do you dislike it so much? I have seen this opinion a few times lately, is it just the profanity?

re: Hilton snaps vs. La Tech

31 Snaps Total - 20 Passing - 11 Running

1 Target on a deep ball. He's getting reps but not necessarily making a huge impact. I expect some big plays out of him but A. Anderson & Brown are their two guys that get a lot of targets. I think outside of that, it will fluctuate game to game.
I think Chester is leading the LG race, think this was more tinkering to get guys reps together. I still fully expect to see from left to right

Adams - Chester - Moore - Thompson - Davis
I don't think anyone is sleeping on him but you aren't going to go give a first year starter that will be splitting reps with Bauer Sharp any preseason honors, even at the conference level.
Cooley played nickel at NC State but LSU moved him to safety. He is running with them in all drills and team time.

Myles Brennan would be a Heisman Finalist in 2020 & Guice was going to be a finalist in 2017.
For sure, he is absolutely getting runs with the ones right now. One interesting thing I heard Kelly say that all but confirms that Gilbert isn't going to start is that they are looking at him getting reps at Star. They aren't moving guys around like that if they think he is playing the vast majority of their safety snaps.
From the looks of camp thus far, my guess would be to expect a ton of rotation on the D line. LB's will be pretty locked down with West & Keys rotating at Mike and my thought from so far is that Singleton is your 2 at both Will & Star. Could see a light rotation at safety but the vast majority of snaps going to Cooley & Haulcy.

DE: 1. Pyburn 2a. Butler 2b. Cobbins
DT: 1a. McKinley 1b. Guillory 2. Mitchell (Space eater)
DT: 1a. Gooden 1b. Breaux
DE: 1a. Reliford 1b. Payton

MLB: 1a. West Weeks 1b. Davhon Keys
WLB: 1. Whit Weeks 2. Singleton
Star: 1. Perkins 2. Singleton 3. Ross

CB: 1. Delane 2. Woodland 3. Jackson
CB: 1. Stamps 2. Pickett
FS: 1. Cooley 2a. Spears 2b. Toviano
SS: 1. Haulcy 2. Gilbert

I think they are giving the guys that have been here more run than the incoming guys for the most part but fully expect this to be what we see come Clemson.
Absolutely, my biggest concern is that it is similar to the D last year where we don't have the right group out there week 1.

Similar to not starting Weeks, having Sage at corner, etc.

I think our o line will be fine by the end of the year think it might be off to start.
Aaron is your WR1, plain and simple. As of right now, your wide out spots are

X: Barion Brown & Chris Hilton

Z: Nic Anderson, Zavion Thomas, & Destyn Hill

Slot: Aaron Anderson & Kyle Parker

Barion & Chris have your deep routes and will give each other breathers afterwards from the sound of it. Aaron is going to be the beneficiary of safeties having to respect the other guys deep so he have less traffic to contest intermediate routes. Win-win all the way around.
