-LSU football has it's best season ever (maybe in college football history) and now head coach O is having some PR issues.
-LSU basketball has been playing at an elite level the last 3 year and now Will Wade is mired in an investigation with the NCAA.
-LSU baseball is only 3 years from a national championship series appearance and they all want to run the coach off.

I am not picking on you LSU, but it is tough to maintain multiple major programs on an elite national level. I think the football stuff is probably going ot amount to nothing, but it is a headache, and coach O will have to deal with some complacency this season. Wade is in a real pickle, and I do think some damage will come from it, and I give him a 50-50 chance of keeping his job, but I didn't think he would keep it in 2019. I think Mainieri needs to go. He seems past his prime, but who knows.

2019 was the last season of CFB as we knew and loved it. I'm satisfied with the way things ended for LSU football.

It was a hell of a season for LSU, that is for sure!

Sounds like a permanent resignation. You know something we don't?

I know that socialism poisons everything it is allowed to take hold of. The universities are nothing but left wing factories, and CFB has been a major source of funding these factories for a long time. The difference was that CFB managed to remain mostly a game and pastime until recently. CFB will die first, and many of the universities are next.

This is a super fair assessment.

We’ve seen much worse to be honest.

Basketball won the SEC 2 years ago and made it to the sweet 16. Football just had the greatest season ever and fielded a the best offense in college football history and while baseball has taken a step back the standard hasn’t changed. If CPM doesn’t get it done we have an AD that the entire fan base believes in.

Honestly - it’s great to be a tiger.

All level-headed points.

Holy shite dude. Turn off the talk radio and go hiking in the Appalachia mountains. Get some cool air, enjoy nature, and hug your spouse and kids if you got them.

You are in denial. That's understandable.

It is a great time to be a Tiger, for sure. LSU has been on a good run lately. Amazing how hard it is to stay at the top these days. Folks are always gunning for you.

Remind me of how well Florida has done since Urban and Billy D left.

I’m not really concerned about football or baseball. Hoops is disturbing because it’s a no win situation until it’s settled.
