re: Is a 25M NIL Annual Football Budget enough?
Posted by Gmichels on 12/11/25 at 2:08 pm to ALLIN4LANE
The goal is to have 25 mil NIL +14 Mil Rev Share. On top of that, NIL is changing where it is brand centric and more legitimate ad deals, not we have a big donor and are going to write you a blank check. I think the hope is that with some of this stuff, LSU has already been working to get these deals and that some of those "Big Donor Schools" will drop off dramatically when a billionaire can no longer just pay a guy a million to come sit the bench as a freshman and add no value to the team.

re: Nuss, Delane and Whit Weeks out per Jacques Doucet.

For sure, just hate that they wasted an all time year from him.

Don't blame Delane at all, Haulcy & Perk should do the same honestly. Nuss is still banged up and owes LSU nothing. I hope Whit is coming back but either way, he has been banged up and has no reason to play in the bowl game and end up hurt again like last year.
I don't care about them in the bowl game but I feel like focus needs to be on getting Whit, Braelin Moore, Aaron Anderson, & Tamarcus Cooley to stay out of the draft.

re: Harold Perkins career at LSU is officially done, accepts invite to East-West Shrine Bowl
Posted by Gmichels on 12/9/25 at 2:46 pm to The Pirate King
He is too good for the East-West Shrine Game.
Sellers and not particularly close.
If Aaron Anderson comes back, he will clearly get a lot of looks if healthy but I think he is gone to the league if I had to guess. Kyle Parker seems like he is prone to have a full time role as well as Trey'Dez. For a "Quality over Quantity" approach that Kiffin is preaching. I'd expect to try and land two legit boundary receivers to come in and start day 1.
re: I'm very interested to see our OL with new coaching
Posted by Gmichels on 12/3/25 at 1:33 pm to Hoovertigah
This is what makes me hopeful that it is a scheme & coaching issue. There is ZERO reason to struggle to run the ball with that offensive line from 2024. I still think we should get some veteran proven pieces in the portal but scheme has to help Curne, Thomas, Echols, Mubenga, etc. and hope that a couple of them become dudes.
In 2024 you had all of the following above him on the depth chart: Kyren Lacy (Senior Transfer) - CJ Daniels (Junior Transfer) - Aaron Anderson (RS Sophomore Transfer) - Chris Hilton (RS Junior) - Zavion Thomas (Junior Transfer) - Treydez Green (Freak) - Kyle Parker (RS Freshman) - Shelton Sampson (RS Freshman) - Javen Nicholas (RS Sophomore) - Landon Ibieta (RS Sophomore)
In 2025 you had: Aaron Anderson (RS Junior Transfer) - Barion Brown (Senior Transfer) - Nic Anderson (RS Junior Transfer) - Chris Hilton (RS Senior) - Zavion Thomas (Senior Transfer) - Treydez Green (Even more of a Freak) - Kyle Parker (RS Sophomore) - Destyn Hill (RS Sophomore Transfer) all above him.
I think the targets just go to the best guys and when you have 3 freshman wide receivers and 3 transfer wide receivers every year as well as guys returning, it is hard to crack into the lineup. I feel like more of these kids need to try and go to a lower tier power 4 and establish themselves and transfer out to the LSU's once they have production under them. That has clearly been the model that they've tried to follow as of late.

QB: All new for all I care
RB: I'd like to see Durham & Berry back, Johnson feels like odd man out if they aren't going to try & use him like Taysom.
WR: Aaron Anderson has another year of eligibility & would love to have him back, Kyle Parker can be a stud in this offense too.
TE: Trey'Dez Green needs to have the offense run through him & Donovan Green can be valuable as an additional body.
OL: Braelin Moore has another year and was your best lineman this year by a lot, Echols & Mubenga both were solid in pass pro and terrible run blockers. You hope some of that was due to coaching & scheme and can be fixed. Carius Curne is a guy you have to get coached up but can be your best guy. Solomon Thomas was a super highly rated kid and was banged up last year. Would love to see him get a look. Bring in two veteran Tackles for sure though that are proven from elsewhere and kick curne in to guard in my opinion.

Awesome, thanks!
Curious about the same thing myself. Not sure how it is set up around the stadium as I am most other SEC stadiums.
re: % of LSU Fans in Vanderbilt's Stadium?
Posted by Gmichels on 10/14/25 at 2:40 pm to iamandykeim
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.
re: Kaleb Jackson entering the transfer portal UPDATED

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.
re: Mubenga/Chester

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.
re: STTDB (sigh) - needs to die a violent and sudden death
Posted by Gmichels on 9/17/25 at 11:05 am to southsidedell
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.
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?
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.
