You're surprised that the team wasn't throwing themselves all over the floor immediately in the first game of the season against a team they were supposed to beat by double digits?
No last night was fine. Matter of fact, Robert Miller did throw himself on the floor last night. It was great to see. I am surprised the team wasn't throwing themselves on the floor the last 3 years. The one year we sort of got that type of energy, we went 9-9 in conference. My response was to someone saying that CMM's teams always play hard. They have not done that historically.

Stupid and takes all credit from your otherwise decent post.
The fact that you said it was a decent post proves that it didn't discredit anything.
Also the fact the our HC has been in over his head during his tenure is true and he has to prove otherwise. Until then, the head man is considered a weakness. Like I said in another post, his teams lack energy and I think it stems from the HC having a lack of energy himself.

Say what you want about McMahon as a coach, but all of his teams have at least played very hard.
I disagree. I think one of the issues is his teams haven't played hard enough. They don't do the things that teams that play above their skill level do like dive on the floor for loose balls, take charges, crash the boards witha vengence. The effort with which CMM teams play is one of their biggest weakensses which was evident during the first 5 minutes last night. After that it seemed to get fixed but it was still there.

I think it speaks to the level of PG play LSU has had under McMahon that you can make this observation after just 1 game...and it likely not be wrong.
Thank you, That was my point. He doesn't have to be a superstar to be the best we have had in a long while.

After 1 friggin game you're going to have this observation? Jesus.
After one game real game and one exhibition game.
Also which former PG since Tremont are you suggesting is better? Its not like we have had a run of great PGs. Just watching him one game and I will confidently say that his floor is Pinson.

Pros:
1) DJ Thomas is the most complete PG we have had since Tremont Waters. More a distributor but a very capable scorer.
2) Max McKinnon is a bucket. Hopefully this continues and he wasn't just hot against an inferior team.
3) We have a ton of size. We have 4 guys that are 6'9+ and then 3 more that are 6'6+.
4) We have Depth. We played 10 guys with what seemed to be little drop off. Now I am sure this rotation will drop down to 8 when we play more meaningful games but it was nice to see 10 guys go in the game and play well.
Cons:
1) Despite the size, we gave up too many OReb early in the game. We seemed to get it figured out but it was disappointing to see.
2) Unless Sutton and/or Reed and/or Miller have the athleticism to really guard wing players, our rotaions might struggle against SEC teams. Often we had lineups of 2 guards and 3 forwards. Again this can work if the forwards are atheltic enough but I worry if they can do it vs better competition. If they can, this becomes a strength.
3) McBland is still our coach. He seems like a nice person so I hope this team plays well for him but I don't have much faith in him at this point.

You think this move was made without booster and board (and governor :yack:) consent?
re: With weeks missing extended time does that mean he is likely to return?

I would say that depends on the coach
re: Was Landry wrong?
Posted by Bert Macklin FBI on 10/30/25 at 8:51 am to Bourre
Is what he said wrong? No.
Was saying it out loud at a press conference wrong? Absolutely.
There is no need to castrate any employee at LSU publicly. It serves no purpose and makes everything worse. DOn't like Woodward? Get him fired by the board. Don't publicly bash him. It looks terrible and makes LSU seem like a toxic cesspool.

We fired our coach and the future of all of the assistants is in question. We aren't landing any additional recruits that aren't from Louisiana or have a connection with whoever we hire as our next HC.

re: Was Brad Davis forced on Brian Kelly?

Idk but it seems very weird that the sticking point for Woodward would be the BK wanted to fire Brad Davis. I can’t figure out why that would be an issue.

Brad Davis got that honor in 2021.
re: Alex Atkins as playcaller?

IDK but he was OC when they went 12-0 wasn't he? No way they were 131 that year.

I think you have that backwards. Our team is soft because thats the brand of football BK brings to the table. Its why he always loses to good teams.

This offense can’t move the ball what so ever
Stopped here because you’re talking out of your arse. The last 2 games with a mostly healthy Nuss, the offense has moved the ball between the 20s very well. They can’t score but they have been moving the ball.
