The announcers were putting a cap on the debacle by looking ahead and one said “LSU will be favored over Vandy and Oklahoma” and I was like “uh, what?” This team might win a few more games but I would not have them favored over anyone at this point. Anyone remember the Nicholls RB Guggenheim ...
Totally true. We failed the “eye test” almost on every play. Our O-line should watch tape of what their o-line was doing. In the 2nd half you could hear the pity in Herbstreit’s voice as he mentioned the need to recruit better. He also accurately pointed out that Bama was geeked up, violent, str...
South Carolina fans are passionate and travel surprisingly well even for mid-tier bowl games. I have enough Auburn friends that I can root for their happiness although Hugh Freeze can jump off the GNO if he wants to. Flame away but my dad went to A&M and I am intrigued that if they won the champio...
Ha ha, was going to say the same thing - they DO look good but had we lost by 24 we’d all be saying “never wear those again!” I am one of the many who still has PTSD from the purple pants fiasco…. ...

re: 2 sacks given up in 6 games

Nuss will continue to improve. His accuracy got off-kilter last game and he throws off his back foot a bit but it appears to me he “feels” and moves around in the pocket well while reading the WR patterns. I think the guy can play quarterback. He’s going to throw a pick here and there - just acce...
The game thread was crazy harsh on Nuss who reverted back to being wild and inaccurate - did the bye break mess up his timing? But, I agree that he seems to have moxie, buys time in the pocket with his movement and for sure has the arm to sling it 30 yards downfield. Comically, Ranters bitched a...

Not even kidding, our offense had been so erratic and snake-bitten with drops and overturned catches on reviews I think McElroy was told to “say something nice about LSU to cheer up the fans” while they showed Nuss’ one great throw up to that point on replay. The best moment is when you could aud...

re: Ole Miss 26 @ LSU 29 Final

Storming field for Ole Miss is bad, no matter what the records are. That being said, it was more fun than when we beat Illinois 16-13 in the Music City Bowl later this year so better to have some fun now. Their kicker DID nail that 57 yarder in OT so proud of Nuss and Lacey to deliver the win!...

That game took so long I have already sobered up with hangover ...
Not getting paid - quit your job and take another one. Bigger questions - can the players be fired? Do these contracts have variable performance incentives? Will the NIL contracts stipulate they must play in the bowl game for exposure? If a 5-star recruit gets a huge NIL deal but the...

Yes, it was a meaningless Camping World Bowl or whatever but watching Jamal Adams run clear across the field to track down the Heisman winning Lamar Jackson impressed the hell out of me...
How is it not mentioned more that we made Spurrier retire mid-season by steamrolling his team in front of a sleepy 2/3 full stadium? It was like SC players said “we really don’t feel like playing football” and Spurrier responded with “I really don’t feel like coaching football”...
Was it last year or year before that Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss was up 17-3 in the 2nd quarter and heading for more. Then we got a stop, played better and outscored them 35-3 the rest of the way. I thought “wow, we really have something here - these coaches figured out Ole Miss’ scheme, made adjustmen...

re: Why can’t LSU be elite?

Posted by West Bank Dan on 9/5/24 at 9:19 pm
I guess some might define “elite” as winning a NC 1/4 years. But, in hindsight, Les had us top 3-5 in recruiting and final polls for about a 7 year stretch. THE game of the year was LSU / Bama dubbed “Games of the Century I and II”. My family in freaking New Hampshire were texting me “holy crap t...
Yes, some guys flash in college, leave early and then do not a thing in the NFL. Blue is the opposite. Partly because of injuries and the crowded RB room at the time, Blue was always 3rd-5th on the depth chart and like a year into the league he was the feature back for the Texans. Good for him! ...

Man, Kwon Alexander made the Saints D instantly better. He and Demario Davis seemed to have great chemistry. I really hoped he’d stick with the Saints for the last 5-6 years of his career....
I will never forget the game, the shoe, the kick but I had forgotten that Fla was favored by 23.5 at home that game and we had a true freshman QB going against a Heisman candidate. I mean, it really was one of the nuttiest games ever. Having a down year here and there is expected but seeing pr...

One time Usain Bolt won gold in the 100M and our Richard Thompson running for Trinidad celebrated his silver medal like crazy. He was so proud, as he should have been. So wanted the tv announcers to claim him as a LSU Tiger!...

A female snowboarder who was born and raised in California, went to college here, speaks crystal clear English, chose to represent China in the Winter Olympics to “honor her grandmother” (and get crap-tons of endorsement deals in China). That was a crass money-grab. I do not think that is what i...
Yes, the amount of love thrown at LSU was awesome. I wish they had mentioned Antoine! The coverage of the beach volleyball players also gave props to LSU....
