re: Is Jimmy Ott okay?

Nothing personal but ill
Be glad when hes no longer in the radio lineup. He is oppositional, interrupts everyone, and enjoys ignoring lsu sports in favor of obscure betting odds across sporting world.
its a problem plaquing sports talk on all levels. they try to be funny and talk about any random thing. sometimes they are, but its too much

i understand the sentiment, but im fine trusting weis and kiffin and their observations of practice. also, according to some gurus, the issue is pass blocking with berry and durham. i wouldn't know - i dont really watch football games in an "x's and o's" analytical kind of way
9? its hard to be down on him.

he worked his arse off recruiting doing things that would have never crossed many coaches minds and the team is better for it.

the ole miss game was weird in many ways. it hurt to lose (especially in that manner) but whatever. the next month will reveal ALOT. if we can win the games we "should" - kentucky, auburn, miss state - that will mean alot.

edit: not sure why i put "should" in quotes
disagree. i have no issue with florida leaping us. ole miss beat us so im begrudgingly ok with them staying just ahead of us.

the dumbest thing i see is BYU ahead of us.. but we are the top rated one loss team.
I have a weird feeling like one day he will be coach whit weeks and will be a big deal
it sucks when it takes a loss to make the change.

i met Lynn Rollins recently

Posted by gerkin on 9/16/26 at 9:44 pm
i was at a restaurant and while standing near me i heard his voice and struck up a converstation with him. He is sooooo down to earth and kind. he's a great dude. i dont always like his metaphors and similes, but having met him i think every bit is great.
i never had an issue with him, but i get why some do.

proud he's a tiger
For now kiffin has all my trust. He knows how to find talent. He knows how to put together a great offense. He plays the guys that do best in practice.

a billboard id love to see in birmingham

Posted by gerkin on 9/13/26 at 1:15 pm
left side of the billboard = hutson in an NFL uniform with a date the photo is from.

right side = hutson in a texas uniform with the date it was taken

maybe across the bottom or top the words "double standard"
i dont know law. in my industry, if i am sued for something a consultant under me did, i can turn around and sue the consultant. essentially im like a middle man passing the suit down.

if LSU gets sued by these two players they should sue SEC and NCAA for whatever damages are.
the week before ole miss/LSU game, i'd kill to hear a reporter ask Ole Miss how Trinidad's tonsils are doing.

Halftime shows

Posted by gerkin on 9/7/26 at 4:08 pm
I was a member of tigerband for 4 years and have alot of respect for the people, their talent, and tradition. Having said that, i feel like halftime shows of marching bands is terribly outdated (not including the rare instances of places like Southern). Pregame, hold that tiger, etc… those are untouchable and will always have their place.

But can we stop pretending in 2026 people want to see constantly moving formations set to music most people either haven’t heard of, or have heard of and try to intentionally avoid?

I can see how my grandparents generation thought it was a spectacle seeing that in 1960, but now… big time college football is an immersive hi-tech experience. Then at halftime it goes away so we can hear spanish marches or disney music?


re: Kiffin not happy with the band.

i was in tigerband a long arse time ago - 4 years. while i was there, they introduced the second down song. a variation of 'tequila'. i've literally ALWAYS loathed that $&$ing song. i hate the idea that there has to be a jingle after every down.

the bands sounded awful on tv - not because the bands actually sound awful but because the location of microphones picks up individual players and not the band as a whole. it was really irritating, sounded like a high school game.
except for the obvious problem that LA is loaded with stars. baton rouge - not so much
i dont think they would ever happen but if it did, i think LSU would suffer for sure. more longer term.
its driving me insane. other teams are doing the same thing LSU is getting destroyed over and it seems NOBODY is talking about it. wtf? am i missing something? did this not come up in court?

re: “Former NFL Players”

Posted by gerkin on 9/3/26 at 9:26 pm to
but what is truly driving me mad is that it seems nobody in the press is bringing this shite up. what the ^%$&??

am i missing something?
so the attorney finished and never asked about texas oline guy!?!?
