BK didn’t exactly leave the cupboard bare. You clearly won the day in your 2026 portal haul. And, you ARE LSU. With CLMFK at the helm.

So I’m thinking anything less than 10-2 and a playoff appearance next season and things get awkward around here for you. No matter what you say, you know that is the expectation. As it should be. A 9-3 finish, you’ll look a little silly, but point confidently toward 2027. 8-4 or worse? Yikes. Despite the excuses and coping mechanisms you’ll throw around, you will have earned the grief you’ll catch. Agree?

Thoughts?

Just knowing we aren’t a bottom dwelling university like r Kansas is a good enough feeling

Seems like you got it figured out. CFP is the goal.

Exactly no one believes that. No one.

And you can’t shame Hog fans about football. We know who we are.

Deflect all you want. Our football program has been a pile of shite, inside a dumpster fire, on top of a train wreck for 15 years. We’re well aware. Try again.

BK did actually leave the cupboard for the coming year pretty bare.

LK has for the most part apparently fixed that

It isn't about record for me. Want to see an improved product on the field. Improving the offense shouldn't be difficult

It's nice to see other fanbases already setting unrealistic expectations so they can feel better when it doesn't happen.

Don't give a frick. This board is a bunch of fricking idiots anyway.

fricking retards here have flipped from LSU can't afford Kiffin to Kiffin's not any good anyway.

Most of the posters here have an IQ somewhere in the low 40's. They're subhumans.

all the gloating this offseason

My expectations are based on what I see and how Lane handles situations where he normally would go for it. It's a ton of new players that haven't played together. That's a factor.

Any "gloating" from me isn't about results in 2026. It's just a big frick you to everyone for all the shite that was talked and being wrong about every damn thing.

Rival fans talk shite.

LSU fans talk shite back.

Rival fans: "Oh you better make the playoff in year 1 or it's going to get real awkward for you."

Congrats on the self-awareness award.

LSU was gifted by Skanky & the SEC mafia in the 1st 9-game conference schedule an unbalanced schedule this year: 5 road games, 4 home games.

Meanwhile, others schools get 5 home games & 4 schools get an annual neutral site game meaning they NEVER have a 5-road game SEC schedule.

Three or more losses in the 1st season for CLK won’t shock me.

Thanks for the honesty. It was a sincere question wrapped in a little snark. I think any honest LSU fan expects the same thing.

Well, I haven't gloated at all......I need to see results and wins before I start gloating.

It's year one of a new offensive regime that could not be more different from the old one. I just need to see better than BK in year one. 7-5 is where I melt. My actual expectation is 9-3.

LSU’s 2026 football offseason has been more thrilling than anything you will ever experience as an Arkansas fan.

What we already have is all you would ever want.
