LSU, if we are being generous, is a long shot at sniffing the CFP after the Bama game. That's fine, first year for the new coach, growing pains, etc.

But knowing that, and in the age of the professional player (e.g. NIL), do we see teams fight when the chips are down? Or are we going to see some "business decisions" being made and some quitting, especially if Texas goes up early?

I'm wondering if this is going to be a good game or not.

I don’t think LSU paid $100 million plus to have growing pains.

Didn't realize it was $100mm. That's a lot of Caniac combos, eh?

I guess they better hope their team shows fight and doesn't roll over if they get down early and are playing for pride and for development and cohesive growth for next year!

If Texas embarrasses them the way Alabama did, you will see players making business decisions and hitting the portal by the masses. The LSU program will go to DEF con three panic mode.. Lane won’t worry because of the buyout. He will take Ed O and go back to Destin and live it up with hookers and blow.

Yeah, especially with new coach’s at ucla and Utah looking so good for a lot less money and undefeated. Think about that, the only undefeated teams have first year new coaches.

Cignitti is not the standard for new coaches he’s the exception but for all the kiffin hype lsu should be way better.

ESPN isn’t going to let Whorns lose. Question is would the refs dare rig the game in front of LSU fans? Completely different animals in the Death Valley.

Yall ain’t ever played in Death Valley get real dufus. LSU isn’t Mizzou. Unlike you douchers at DKR, I will give you free beer and damn good food at the tailgate.

Whatever's best for the subs and views.

It'll be reasons along this line that will finish the full transition to the NFL model with salary caps, unions and collective bargaining.

LSU is going to roll Texas.

Will have identical records after Saturday night

LSU has a traditional Alabama hangover after the loss. I would be surprised to see LSU put up a fight Saturday.

The Texas d line is probably better than Bama’s, which means Leavitt will be running for his life most of the game.

The LSU secondary is suspect against the slot receivers. Sark already knows this and will expose Cooley.

While all probably true, Texas has a very poor offensive line. If you can get after Arch it’ll be a long day for us fans.

That’s the spirit that’s what I love to see. LSU fans already quitting after daddy came to town.

It was about 40 million when the season started. It'll be a buck and a quarter by thanksgiving.

Texas is not consistent. That is not the makings of a championship caliber team. LSU’s fan base will show up in force. Game time 6:30PM. By 2:00 PM, a lot of their fan base will already be drinking. They will be crazy loud, standing frequently in an attempt to motivate a very good LSU team. As Longhorns fans, we have a way of getting ahead of ourselves. We lost to Florida this year and last year, a team that lost the majority of their SEC games. We lost to Oklahoma. Our number of penalties is sickening along with our special teams. We’re loaded on paper but that has to translate to the football field. See Auburn vs Georgia. However, we will all know which team came to play next Saturday, where this will be decided on the field.

Yeah because all of those coaches would be definitely be undefeated with LSU’s schedule right? It’s almost like the SEC is the premier conference in college football. Wild huh?

LSU’s over/under was 8.5 fyi.

Texas or Tenn one has to make it to the SECC game so Bama can avoid that trash.

Both have LSU as the primary impediment and A&M as the dark horse upset to go 2-0 through. You gotta think one of us does it.

If everyone believes these are mercenaries then the only thing that matters to them is putting film out there or getting a better offer for next year.

Being out of the postseason should have no bearing on their play.

I think everyone is still vested and we light Texas up.
