If they win it all, it will be "We won despite Kiffin's backstabbing, which actually brought us all together."
If they lose, it will be "We lost because Kiffin abandoned us."
There are no other alternatives, no matter what the assistant coaches do.

To me, “burning it down” was an innuendo to holding the program hostage and threatening to let loose some secrets that would “burn it down”, either via the NCAA, or more likely, via public opinion and media.
With the NIL rules, the NCAA is helpless. We openly pay players and the NCAA can't do a thing about it.
So, what leverage would Wilson have? Admit that he was the bag man that got Fournette here? Nobody would care.
Also, we know Kiffin likes blond female companionship already. Who doesn't (Note, my wife is blonde--no pictures.)
As long as we're willing to take some stupid talking head heat and Kiffin leaves the employee women alone, LSU is pretty bulletproof from anything someone wanting to "burn it down" could do.
JMHO.

Yes, he's a mercenary snake.
But he's OUR mercenary snake now, and I'm going to support him until he bites us. That's the way it always has been in college football.

I have Bama fan friends who said it that night.
I've also seen it on message boards from time to time.
Bama "belonging" in that game can only be argued by the season before that game, in which case there is still some doubt. Using their win as proof is ex-post-facto justification.
OBTW, if LSU had played Okie State that poorly, they would have lost to the Pokes too.
Cheers.

Yes, every team that loses is proof those teams didn't' belong.
I don't necessarily have the opinion that ND deserved the spot over Bama, but do you realize how many times LSU fans have been told we didn't belong in the 2011 national championship game because Bama pushed our shite in?
I enjoyed every minute of this one.

The reason you get a Lane Kiffin as coach is to put to rest the questions at the quarterback position.
Kiffin will get the best quarterbacks he can. He will have them playing the best they can. If that means Van Buren, then I will trust that Lane knows what he is doing.
We as LSU fans are not used to trusting the coach in this way, so it will be a welcome change.

Been an Auburn guy since I was four years old (42 years) and I can’t even get excited or disappointed about any team because it’s going to be a completely different team next year.
Look, I don't know you, so take this with a grain of salt, but if Alex Golesh has Auburn undefeated going into the Iron Bowl, I suspect you will be plenty excited. College football fandom is based on loyalty in a way that the NFL just doesn't touch, and it will remain that way.
I say this because I was plenty excited watching LSU at the beginning of the season, but was questioning my sanity watching the WKU game or the Texas Bowl.
(I do realize that I am lucky that LSU still plays traditional rivals. I can't imagine being a Southern Cal or UCLA game trying to get excited for playing Purdue or Rutgers.)

Agree with this, and if the powers that be would cut the transfers to once during the undergraduate years, it would go a long way to fix the problem.
Just my opinion. War Eagle.

No P5 team is going to willingly play a bowl game to start the season. This is the dumbest thing to come out of this bowl situation.
P5 teams have routinely played "bowl" games to start the season. We call them "Kickoff Classics." LSU played in two recently against FSU. Bama played in one for something like 10 years straight and it didn't hurt their chances of winning a national championship, mostly because they won all of them.
What could be different would be to not have the bowl location or opponent pre-determined for years in advance. That would be an interesting change.

Was there a super bowl game at Tulane Stadium with snow on the ground in the early 70s? I remember Miami playing someone in a Superbowl around 72 or so with snow on the ground and somehow I remember it being Tulane Stadium? When was the first dome built in New Orleans?
Super Bowl VI between the Cowboys and Dolphins was in New Orleans. It was a little before my time, so I looked it up. The weather was 39 degrees at kickoff, making it the coldest Super Bowl, but it doesn't appear to have snow on the ground in the video.
Video of Super Bowl VI that the NFL won't let me embed.
Ground-breaking on the Superdome was in August of 1971, a few months before Super Bowl VI. It was intended to be completed in time for Super Bowl IX following the 1974 season, but delays prevented it from being opened until the summer of 1975. Super Bowl IX was rainy and cold and pretty much considered the most miserable conditions the game has been played in.
Hope that helps.

His last couple of years until he was fired were not great, but the overall track record stands up against any other LSU coach.
It really wasn't the full last two years, either. It was the end of 2015 and 4 games of 2016.
LSU entered the ninth game of 2015 against Alabama as the #2 team in the nation with the odds-on favorite to win the Heisman in Fournette. While Alabama did hold Fournette in check, LSU tied the game in the second quarter. Unfortunately, on the 40-yard TD pass to open the LSU scoring, it appears that Brandon Harris was injured. He continued to play, but his production tanked and the offense went into a 3 game shell. Fournette would not be invited to New York and everyone thought the season was a disaster.
We all know how 2016 started.
So, we're not talking about 2 full seasons, but about a 9-game stretch where LSU went 4-5, but also included a total evisceration of a Patrick Mahomes Texas Tech team.
Sometimes, it all goes wrong fast.

Les Miles’ national championship occurred only because the planets aligned late in the night on that Hawaii game.
Please do not disrespect Dave Wannstedt Day like that. :-)
It was the 2003 Sugar Bowl Bid that came down to a game in Hawaii, as strength of schedule was an official component of the BCS formula up to that point. Since Southern Cal had beaten Hawaii, a win by the rainbows would have been enough to put the Trojans in the Sugar Bowl over us.
It does make you wonder what Saban would have been thinking a year later had LSU not gone to that Sugar Bowl, not won a national championship, and thus, his "work here would not have been complete." Does he take the Miami offer under those circumstances? Does Bama make as big a play for him had he gone to Miami without a National Championship. Somewhere in the multiverse, an LSU fanbase knows.

They didn’t play OU in that game.
The day LSU beat UGA in the SECCG, Okie State was playing Oklahoma. It wasn't a true championship game because the BigXII only had 10 teams and didn't qualify to hold a game. But it was the de-facto championship, as the winner would have been outright BigXII champion.
When my son and I were watching at the Applebee's in Newnan, all I saw was the scroll under the ESPN telecast of Okie State's beatdown was that Alabama was going to get the rematch ('pay no attention to this beatdown of a top 10 team).
At least that's how I remember it.

Has any other coach actually done the "family looks at real estate in a city he might be coaching in" thing for real, and done so publicly?
The media says things like, "We want honesty in these coaching searches." Then when LSU/Lane participate in pretty much the most open and transparent search ever, they get roasted for it.
LSU got Lane and avoided the situation Penn State has found themselves in. That's the only thing that matters.
Maybe it gets ugly when it's over. Nobody knows. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Everyone complains about LSU poaching Kiffin before the playoff, but had they waited they would be in Penn State's position right now. Even if a backroom deal was in place for Lane, LSU would be getting roasted as being inept because it couldn't be divulged that we had hired him.
Like Saban's "I'm not going to be the coach at Alabama" quote, the process requires deception, betrayal, and heartache. And the players pay the cost.
Doesn't have to be this way, but the NCAA is too stupid to fix it.

That was the covid year. No cupcakes to feast on that year either.
True, but because all teams had reduced practice time, all of the defenses were crap. That's why Bama's offensive stats from that year don't impress me when Bama fans try to claim 2020 Bama was better than 2019 LSU.
That said, I think we will be vastly improved on offense. That's why we hired the guy.
