70k or 102 it didn’t matter. The players were absolutely feeling the emotion of the crowd and it showed in their play.

Tell your head coach this. He seems to think otherwise.

It wasn’t that he was mean. He actively tried to sabotage and tank the entire program. But that’s another discussion.


there's always 2 sides.....and I'm positive no one on this board knows the details of how any of it went down, the truth usually lingers in the middle. its over. he left. y'all won the revenge game. congrats. i still feel better about the long term future of LSU with him there. time will tell.

What do fans of blue bloods have to do with fans of LSU?

Ideally you don’t want 60+ transfers in a year even in this era of football. You want a bit more of a base to start from. Under 40 would be a lot better. That’s an entire 22 man unit.

Rantards insist LSU fans talk too much shite, while simultaneously insisting the expectations should be higher.

Interesting dynamic here.


LSU fans talk too much shite saying they will beat everybody and are everyone's Daddy.

Reality hits and they adjust expectations until the next time where their delusional overpowers their reasoning ability.

This is not a rebuild year. LSu will be fine.

I was there Saturday. For LSU to win that game would have been huge but the stadium was electric. It would have been a huge task. That being said,

Levitt left some opportunities on the field to say the least. I don’t know if it was scheme or execution but we needed to play near perfect on the road in that environment and we absolutely did not.

Chambliss is great. Really Great.
Only thing I disagree with is SL needing to be perfect. If he would've played like an average SEC QB, we win that game. He was absolutely terrible.

But I agree with the experience - we go every 2 years and that was an electric as it's ever been.

No shame in losing a close road game to the best QB in college football. The lack of being punished in the polls confirms that. We'll be OK *if* Sam Leavitt gets better. It will be tougher for him without Trey Dez for a while, but he's not being paid to suck, so get over it and play better.

It would have helped on those last two goaline possessions with green out.

My favorite cope is just wait till chambliss is gone and then you guys will be bad, they didn't watch any Deuce Knight footage.

If Wright was on the roster LSU probably wins Saturday. Lane knew what would happen if Green went out. I don't fault him for trying to win.

I keep seeing LSU fans coping by saying this is a rebuilding year. Are they aware this no longer exists in the NIL era? CFB rosters are now built and rebuilt on a yearly basis. You either build a good roster or you don’t, and whether you do or you don’t, you’ll still be scrambling to reload it next year. Fans of blue bloods are having a really hard time with this new reality.
That's simply not true. Especially coming from an OM fan whose team had to use a local alum judge to get their superstar QB another year.

The best teams still develop/keep and get portal players to fill gaps.

Now the teams who aren't blue bloods may need more portal players, but keeping good players and replacing poor performers is still the best option. That's not the same as a new team every year.

They didn't spend $90 million plus for a "rebuild." For that money, LSU fans rightly anticipated being a CFP contender.

Rebuilds only exist for teams like lsu.

How exactly do you expect them to compete when they retained the entire defensive staff and were only spending $30 million per year on their roster.

Lane only had 15 years of coaching experience and a whole offseason to establish his offense with an entire offensive staff that was familiar with his system.

Pete just has it so easy. He’s only had to replace his entire offensive staff and bring in 29 new players in the portal as a first year head coach and win 4 of his first 6 games against ranked opponents.

He had a rebuilding year in 2025 with Ole Miss, and we didn’t seem to have an issue. Wonder what’s wrong or #different in Baton Rouge?
