Very true statement.
This is exactly why I love coach O. He bleeds purple and gold.

I don't root for any SEC power teams now, but I root for Kentucky ,and Vandy to make bowl games because they suck. Also when I was a kid LSU sucked for 6 years. Tennessee was my back up team to root for and they used to beat Bama regularly and I hate Bama. I wish Tennessee would get stronger to give Bama more competition.

No we don't. It's about us, not the opponents. You think Bama cares who is in the East.
Without Tennessee there is still Bama, Florida, Georgia, Auburn and aTm (if they ever get their shite together).
We may not even have divisions at some point. I don't think division serve any purpose and are needed. You don't need division to have a conference championship game so what's the point. The SEC could easily preserve 3 or 4 historic rivalries and expand to 9 conference games. Have the two teams with the best conference records play in the SECCG.
Screw the Vols.

After having lived in Tennessee for a long time, I almost feel sorry for them......almost.

They play Tennessee ever year. We play Florida and Auburn plays UGA. You don’t think they’d prefer Tennessee to be down while UGA and Florida are good?

This is not glorious. Tennessee being terrible means 1 more guaranteed win on the schedule every year for LSU’s biggest competition in the division.

Alabama is already extremely difficult to beat and they are basically starting with a 1 game advantage in conference play every year.


Finally, someone that gets it. I’ve been screaming this for 10 years. We NEED Tennessee to be good again. It’s the hidden reason why Bama has had this run.

Bet Jacoby Stevens is glad he didn't go to Tennessee now since that's his home state.

Meh. Vince Dooley was an Auburn grad. Darrell Royal was an Oklahoma grad. Bo Schembechler was a born and bred Ohioan.

Coaches don't think like fanboys.

I hope this clarifies in Rakim Jarrett's mind that LSU is the RIGHT place for him.

Good, they deserve all that and then some after what they did to Schiano. I'm not sure if Schiano would have been there answer for them. IMO, probably not. However, after what the fans did to basically "unhire" him, they deserve to have a shitty coach.

It's kind of sad that some LSU fans hate the LSU coach so much that they were jealous of Tennessee when they made their hire.

?? Tennessee had the most pathetic coach search ever.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe, no doubt is was messy and chaotic but it still ended up with a relatively decent hire.

The people they wanted were actually qualified

Of course this had a lot more good votes.

quote:


Georgia- hires Kirby
Florida- hires Mullen
MSU- hire Moorhead
Arkansas- hires Morris
Tennessee- Pruitt

All of these hires had backgrounds of success at previous programs as a coordinator or head coach

But we just move to promote our DL coach who was the worst coach in Ole Miss history that couldn't even make a list for a Syracuse interview

This one had 112 green votes and 3 red. Pitiful fricking LSU message board fans.

It was good to laugh at the Vols for a few years but now it's just getting sad. It's like laughing at someone whose house burned down. Really tough to see Tennessee like this. Not to mention, Bama is their permanent cross division rival. While we get UF and Auburn gets UGA... ughhhh
