At least seven of those pages are just Sidewalk and Patton.

It hasn’t won one in MY lifetime either, unless we’re counting 1993, they beat Florida State head to head they should’ve gotten the title

They were definitely at a talent disadvantage the last 20 years or so. But they seem like the kind of program NIL will really benefit.

Let's also add some context. 2008: Lost Orange Bowl to 9-4 Virginia Tech. 4 losses (This was at Cincinnati, the first time Cincinnati had ever made a BCS bowl) 2012: Lost BCS National Championship to 12-1 Alabama. 1 loss (More talent, Nick Saban) 2016: Lost Fiesta Bowl to 11-1 Ohio State. 1 loss (More talent, Urban Meyer) 2018: Lost Semi Final CFP Cotton bowl to 13-0 Clemson. 0 losses 2020: Lost ACC championship to 10-2 Clemson. 2 losses (Beat this team earlier in the season, more talent, Dabo Swinney) 2020: Lost Semi Final CFP Rose Bowl to 13-0 Alabama. 0 losses 2022: Lost SEC Championship game to 15-0 Georgia. 0 losses. So basically, the entire case against BK is: 1. He couldn't win a BCS bowl at a G5 (back when this was nearly impossible, it's why Boise State-Oklahoma was such a big upset). 2. He couldn't beat prime Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, or Dabo Swinney in the postseason when they had better talent

That’s weird, because for about the previous 30 years they haven’t won shite on the big stage.

And frankly, they still ain’t won shite on the big stage other than a couple playoff games this past season against Indiana (LOL) and Georgia woo didn’t have a quarterback/offense.

Sidewalk, Wade, and Doc have the real BKDS by thinking he has actually won anything, ever.

I like when he said name a better SEC coach than BK, and Lane was the only one that made Sidewalk’s list

You mean BK can win the Reliaquest Bowl and the coach at BAMA can't?


lol…said the gutless coward who wouldn’t back BK over lowly DeBoer.

Literally every post you make about BK or DeBoer is toothless and hollow. We all know you’re a troll with no stones after you wouldn’t back your boy

Yes, you will. And you will be right there with an excuse as to why LSU couldn’t win the big game.


I am sorry you are dead wrong on LSU football couldn't win the big game. The only reason why LSU football failed to win the big game nowadays is BK is the LSU HC.

It’s crazy to think that Brian Kelly’s last best defenses were run by Mike Elko and Clark Lea at ND. He hasn’t been able to field something similar yet.

I was gonna post tit rally Tennessee girl but I think we will get there without her.

I’m confused to what Sidewalk is defending anymore. I think he’s still talking Freeman vs LSU, but then I see DeBoer stuff.

Then I see inconsistencies like pointing out Freeman plays a weak schedule at ND. But Kelly’s whole resume was also easy wins at ND.

Then we get into a philosophical subjective debate on whether Kelly actually wins or loses big games by making the definition of what qualifies as a big game ambiguous.

All I know is Kelly can’t field a defense, more so, doesn’t do 2nd half adjustments on defense. That’s his Achilles heel to me. He falls behind, he freaks out and throws it a lot. He has never established a running game at LSU, and Nuss will be a volume thrower again.

On the other hand, ND plays Miami, A&M, Purdue, Arkansas, Boise, NC State, Navy, USC, Boston College, Pitt, Syracuse, Stanford, and they are favored to make another playoff run. That schedule doesn’t look like the cakewalk everyone here makes it out to be.

Whoever makes the playoffs THIS year, Freeman vs Kelly, wins this debate? Both have playoff expectations nationally and within their fan bases.

Whatever happens, Semantic will rationalize it for us all. Again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And….

The SEC coach with a better win percentage at their current job is Kirby.
