I’m not in the dumb group thinking playoffs. We may have a great season, it may work out like planned but with turnover like we had and the schedule, 3 to 4 losses isn’t crazy.

The following season however should be playoffs

We ended the BK era at the same exact spot that the ogre left us, with half a roster at the Texas bowl. Contending for Atlanta and the playoffs is what we expect and I think we will. If we can somehow manage to win 10+ I’ll be ecstatic considering the program trajectory 2 months ago but don’t expect it, just looking forward to finally being competitive again

Thoughts?


Football is nothing but entertainment to fans. Ever since LSU fired Kelly & Woodward, this has been, by far, the most entertaining off season I’ve seen in 60 years of following LSU Football.

Almost every fanbase, but a couple, are going to be disappointed with how their season ended. It’s all about how entertained you are during the season. Is your brand of football exciting to watch? Are you very competitive in most games? Do have a coaching staff in place that makes you excited for the future?

Watching LSU football last year under Kelly was like watching paint dry. Boring as hell.

We are entertained at a very high level right now. It’s fun again. We have hope. It’s a great time to be a LSU fan!

Great answer. Optimism and excitement is all any fanbase can count on for sure at this point. I wish i had a fraction of LSU’s excitement. Jaded cynicism is all I have to give our program right now.

A worse record than Arkansas which, frankly, would be tough for a men’s rec league to pull off

It got to the point that I didn't even know all of the names on the 2 deep. It just wasn't interesting at all.

Couldn't agree more about how exciting this off-season has been. Plus, we get some of the feeling of being the bad guy again like we had in basketball. I LOVE that shite.

So then why are you starting this thread? We’ve also somehow made a final 4 in MBB more recently than you and don’t get me started on baseball.

My thoughts are we are happy to have a coaching staff that actually works and are relatable. I am happy about the future and more at ease than I have been in some time. I think every coach should have 3 years to judge them by not just LSU. However I know you floop-de-doos will be changing your favorite team logos to whoever is playing LSU each week. I also personally like the role of the villain. frick the SEC and all of you .

Because I was genuinely interested. The snark was probably too much.

And good grief. Yes. Arkansas < LSU in most athletics, but those nonsense, adolescent, non-answers are suspect.

Ehhhh all the gloating is solely because of the other fans ridiculous gloating 5 days into the portal opening and then looking like dumbasses. Whatever happens in the season doesn’t make them any less dumbasses.

Use the search function.

Only a losing record the first year would upset me.

It doesn’t matter what we do. If we lose, y’all will give us shite. If we win, y’all will call us the devil for poaching a coach during a playoff run and stealing funds from kids in the hospital.

We’re embracing the villain role and won’t be ashamed for anything.

Year 1 could have it issues, but the Lane Train will be rolling into the CFP in year 2, if not sooner. #JustDifferent
