That is great I live about 30 miles form Erskine college. Nice little school. When I was a head baseball coach hear in SC I sent several players to Erskine. They loved it. Congrats

That kid wants a ton of money, Not sure we are going to meet his numbers or get into the money war with other teams.

Naturally I think most people long for the old ways. Kids played for the Name on the front not the name on the back. Sadly I think those days are gone.

I was really rooting for Clemson to keep it as close to the old ways, but they failed.Dabo just does not know they failed, yet.

There is a since of excitement every year about college football. This next year will not be any different. But in general I miss the old ways. I would much rather see the local kids playing for the local college that they dreamed about playing for their entire life. It just seemed to mean more.

The one thing that I think is truly funny is the amount of fans that claim to be done with it. They will be back. they will be following, talking trash, and following every pod cast.

I think two things can be true, we miss the good old days, but excited about the future.

From a Tiger fan, OM you played very hard. Great year.

Good for him. Would love to have him but he is making a big boy decision. I hope he gets to play another year with OM.

We did what it takes to get the most sought after Coach in College football. Lane Kiffin came to the LSU Tigers. We all know Ole Miss fans were holding prayer circles to keep him. It makes sense that they are so butt hurt now.

I know to some that it seems like the wheels are falling off. We have OL folks in the portal, WR's in the portal. It looks bleak, but is it? I say no. I think Lane Kiffin knows exactly what he is doing and has started the process of building a championship team, and it is a process. Some kids have been shown the door, some are just trying to get more money, while others are just trying to figure things out.

I am excited about the transfer portal and the possibilities for this team. I think it will be magical.

The media is in the process of trying to start a College football Civil War between LSU and Ole Miss, maybe between LSU and the rest of college football. The media does what the media does. Heck I have even seen some media outlets quoting things here at TD. We are idiots if we think we know what is going on behind the scenes at LSU.

We wanted Lane Kiffin, we got Lane Kiffin, so we need to trust his process. I think we are building something here that can last for a long time. Even with all the negative comments, negative press, and the Ole MIss fans melting every second of everyday, I am excited about the future of LSU football.

That is the entire issue "if it was the truth." We do not know, we will never know. People here get a grain of information and it becomes fact and they run with it. I agree that he was not a good Coach at LSU. But I am almost positive that if LSU could have fired him without paying him they would have done exactly that. For me that is the most truthful thing. LSU admin and lawyers are snakes when it comes to this stuff, I am sure they tried very hard to find something that would hold up leagally.

Because there are people that are not getting paid. I have family that is in the military, they are finding money to pay them now, but that is rumored to be drying up. Even if they get back pay some families can not survive missing pay checks. This is an issue. It doesn't help that a certain political party sues every time they find the money to pay our service men and women. The dems are not doing themselves any favors at this point.

It is all good until key players start getting jacked up at practice and missing game reps for some minor issues. There is a reason why you can not go full bore at practice at this stage of the season. Bodies get tired, beat up, Bumps and bruises do not heal like they did at the start. There has to be a happy medium where development and toughness can meet. All of these kids are D1 athletes they know how to tackle, block, catch etc. I am not taking up for Kelly at all. But at some point these highly paid kids need to produce.

I live in Clemson and you are correct, the orange shade has been toned down. Some of my pals are mad as heck. Basically think the coaching staff has been full of crap about how talented they are. As always the haters want someone to get fired, lol Typical college football fans. When they beat the heck out of Troy they will be National Championship contenders again. lol
