That your starting LT left BR? It was on all the sports sites. If you guys keep Johnson out of the tent this season it will be a minor miracle.

Barrett Sallee's AP ballot was only slightly worse than Kirk Bohl's and everyone from Texas knows what a clown he is.

No they aren't and this does not have anything to do with an of those championships. LSU has a good team, but to go from 5-5 with losses to some bad teams to a championship contender is not easy.


How about going from 2018 to 2019? Did you think that was possible? No you didn’t so please think before you post nonsense
WE ARE LSU….We put the greatest team in college football history on a field less than two years ago we can work magic

Going from #6 to #1 is hardly the equivalent of going 5-5 to #1.

Is it possible LSU will have a great season and win the natty? Sure.
Is it likely? No.

wrong answer. Greatest teams don't have a defense in the lower half of its own conference. Then you went from bad defense to worse. It's not trending well

Did another Burrow fall into O's lap? Otherwise... no. Without Burrow 2019 was a 4 loss team. You know that right?

Surely you know that.

Obviously not the same but LSU went 9-3 in 2018 and likely goes 8-4 in 2020 with their original schedule.

The "drop off" is exaggerated by not playing OOC cupcakes and adding two SEC games.

You’re portraying it as if it was his decision. Disregard the 4 other returning starters on the OL. Whatever fits your narrative, though.

August is always a great month for LSU fans.

They get to run their mouths and talk about how great their team will be.

Then the season starts and the train wreck that is LSU football happens and LSU fans hopes and dreams go up in flames.

Are you calling Barrett Sallee an LSU fan?

Odd.

That's kinda like saying that Ole Miss' best players are returning for their defense.

Dave Aranda isn’t walking through that door.

You got a position coach as your DC

Joe Brady and Joe Burrow aren’t walking through that door either.

LSU is a 7-5 to 8-4 team this year

Every DC was once a position coach.

So zero improvement from 2020?
