Knew I would cause a firestorm but love all the feedback. You are the only one who actually gave your outlook on my points; don't agree with you but at least your points were based on what I said and not some millennial emotional response.

LSU will not be in any kind of championship because:
Posted by GOOTMAW on 9/29/19 at 4:59 pm
1. Defense: Our defensive line does not measure up to the standards of the elite in the SEC. We will have trouble protecting Burrow against the kind of DL's Florida, Auburn, Alabama, and Texas A&M has. Contrary to popular belief LSU has not done a good job of recruiting the DL in the past few years with the exception of Chaisson and he has been hurt. Our present DL is heavy with little or no quickness off the ball on a consistent basis. Absolutely no pass rush. The last two weeks the defense has looked like a Chinese fire drill with no two players on the same page(is this the players or Aranda's scheme). DBU has been a sieve since the Texas game and we have not faced the most difficult part of the schedule.
2. Offense: LSU has a quarterback and some great receivers but lack of a running game will come back to bite us in crunch time. The OL has done a good job in protecting Burrow but will struggle against the elites of the SEC to protect Burrow and open holes for our running backs. LSU will not win more than 9 games in the regular season. Hope I'm wrong but that's the way I see it

1980-81 - Ethan Martin, Howard Carter, Rudy Macklin, Leonard Mitchell, Willis Sims. Carter, Macklin, and Martin were on the all-century team.

As far as I can see there is no bright side right now. LSU is not mentally tough in the field, at bat, or on the mound right now. I fear they have taken on the characteristics of their head coach and hitting coach.

I can accept that rational on offense but not on defense. You can walk onto the floor with 4 guys you never met and if they all know how to play defense it would be better than what we are seeing from the Tigers.

What is rational is that Wade's offensive scheme is as bad as football's E and the Tigers play no defense.
Wade is worst than Coach E
Posted by GOOTMAW on 12/12/18 at 10:24 pm
What happened tonight at Houston will be a continuing refrain through out the season because Wade's offensive scheme is truly offensive and defense is no where to be found.
I'm a Tiger from the 50's but I do believe UCF is for real and will give our Tigers all they can handle. Trust your quarterback recovers quickly and is able to play next year.
A great coach puts his players in a position to succeed, whether it be through schemes, game planning, making in game adjustments, etc. Whether they succeed or not is up to the player but a great coach gives him everything he needs. Since the championship game against Bama the LSU coaching staff has not done that on offense
Great recruiting class, IF, they all sign the dotted line which several from last year did not do.
re: Why even play junior year

I can see both sides of the argument. With few exceptions, if you don't make the playoffs, 6-6 is just as good as 9-3. You go to a bowl, get money from the conference, maybe hurt recruiting a little, but the playoffs are making the bowl games irrelevant and players are feeling the same way, thus Greedy sits out cause the bowl game means nothing.
I'm a tiger thru and thru but LSU will have it's hands more than full to beat UCF.

I think we are all missing the real point. The problem is with the likes of the "so called ESPN experts telling us who is the best corner, rb, lb, etc. If a player wants to know his real draft status the NFL has a team of men that will give them an honest NFL evaluation. Too many of our players have left early only to find out they should have stayed another year.
Greedy has done a great job at LSU and I wish him nothing but the best but I'm not sure he will be a shut down corner in the NFL

I agree that if a player decides he does not want to play there is not anything anyone can do about it. However to say that a player only gets paid in school and meals means you are ignorant of what perks big time college football players get. Yes athletic departments make millions of dollars but also spend millions of dollars to have fabulous facilities and staffs which without the player would not reach the potential of being a top draft pick.
re: Its time to accept the fact that E is here to stay
Posted by GOOTMAW on 11/29/18 at 5:31 pm to Mickey Goldmill
I don'think it is a matter of evaluating E and O for one year. It is a matter of watching other teams with similar talent and rankings and wondering why in the heck doesn't LSU run an offensive scheme similar to that. Ohio State beat Michigan running a 5 yard crossing route, something LSU doesn't seem to know is available. Ohio State nor Oklahoma have the defense LSU has but have only lost one game because they have an offensive scheme that was birthed since 2000 and not 1960.
O does not deserve an extension. We are 9-3 and not 11-1, primarily because of poor coaching decisions. Example: A&M comes up short on fourth down; O is standing right there and does not even call time out or ask for a review. Jimbo asked for 2 reviews and was given them without it ever costing him a timeout even though on the first one he lost the challenge. 4th and 6 inches last year against ND and we kick a field goal and lose. Anyone LSU would hire could beat 7 or 8 teams on our schedule but when you get down to teams who talent level is as good or almost as good as ours it comes down to coaching and too often in those games we come up short.
If South Carolina can put up 35 on Clemson then I think ND has a chance
Tell us in plain English what Kaepernick took a stand for. Verbalize it because social justice can mean multitudes of things.
What you say is true but it is very difficult to beat the same team twice in one season, especially if it one of your rivals.
