People are the life blood of OUR country. Football is just a game.

With everyone running the spread these days...we should be okay. BadaBing

“Give them bread and circuses”

Honest, hard working Americans are the life blood of the country. And loyal fans are the life blood of a football organization. But LSU seems to be taking that loyalty for granted recently.

Big ole' mean LSU standing up for black lives... when 90% of the team is black

skullopener•69 months

We WANT football but sorry coach its not a NEED!!!!

moester75•69 months

Speak for yourself Skull you’re damn sure not speaking for me.

Pianoman•69 months

Definitely not the "lifeblood of our country".....maybe the lifeblood for him as that's what pays his salary, so I can see why he would want to gin up support for it.

tigersbh•69 months

I love football but it’s not the lifeblood of the country. That’s just plain silly.

moester75•69 months

That’s your opinion Tiger BH. You probably have an ole lady, kids, a great career, hobbies, friends.....,etc..... but there are quite a few of us that Coach O is speaking for and representing here. Football is our lifeblood and I appreciate O for saying it.

NeonSunburst•69 months

Football is the life blood of our country if they keep politics out of it. Play the game!

CanebreakCajun•69 months

I need lsu football to keep me away from my alleged wife.

Globalist uniform is not complete without a mask. Conform. Wear mask. Be a good numbnut.

moester75•69 months

Thank you Coach O for telling it like it truly is. I sincerely mean that man. You’d have to just be a purely evil person to not like Coach Orgeron. The man is original and real. There’s not a phony bone in that mans body. GOD please Bless you O and your family.

Stingray•69 months

No, capitalistic freedom is the lifeblood, and football has become a communist cancer.

ccomeaux•69 months

That makes zero sense. you should know what words mean before stringing them together in some mindless babble.

2 great Americans. Audio was poor, though. Couldn't understand him.

PNW_TigerSaint•69 months

Yeah, I'm sure the audio was the reason he couldn't be understood.

Tridentds•69 months

Ed is in for a rude awakening. Those of us that like football might agree but the number of people that hate male dominated sports, coaches salaries, etc... is very significant. A lot of elected liberals and democrats hate sports in general.

moester75•69 months

I agree with every word you said Tridents but those people are just punishing us for Orange Man Bad. Once they get their way in November, they will back off of us and allow us our favorite pastime again.

SuckFickNaban•69 months

They're taking our jobs!!

LSU82Cajun•69 months

I’m proud of Coach O. He knows what’s at stake here. Keep America moving on not cowering in the corner as Democrats and liberals want us to do. Man up and show that we have the balls to control our own destiny. Football and all sports strengthen us during the Spanish flu and WWI, during the depression and during We2. Wimping out and hiding in our closet is not the thing to do. Play us some college football

Stingray•69 months

Yeah, players play, but real free-loving Americans don't watch until football respects freedom.

SuckFickNaban•69 months

Then wear a mask, idiots

OU812•69 months

Dipshit, they are 6 feet apart!

bayoumuscle21•69 months

Unless you're wearing a medical grade mask, its's not doing much. All these people walking around wearing home made masks, or one of those thin ones you can order on amazon are doing nothing.

PUB•69 months

Football is the lifeblood of our country.
