It’s not a mystery. Look at the spot on the schedule. Both Bama and Georgia looked like shite in rivalry games the week after they played each other. Those 2 teams get after each other. They beat the hell out of each other. It’s a hard physical game. It’s no wonder both teams were both mentally and physically checked out the next week.


So Alabama’s going to struggle against Vanderbilt next week?

Damn! 14-0 already?


Georgia went up 14-0 just as fast against us and lost.

Somehow Georgia lost to Auburn.

So Ole Miss has a chance.
With the bowl game.

We should beat State.

Whip Samford.

Get skull dragged by Bama.

And then hopefully get a decent bowl matchup.

8-5.

If that happens AND we can show life in recruiting and the portal, I’ll buy back into the Golesh train,
Seems to be a lot of guys running around and throwing the ball at someone.

It's like backyard football for every team.
The ball moved when he hit the ground. Arkansas guy took it while he was out of bounds.

It’s going to be an incomplete pass.
It was the first time in a long time that the ball bounced our way the whole game.

It seems like we’ve had quite a few games the last five years where we were competitive but made crucial mistakes at the worst times, had penalties that stalled momentum, or watched the other team make miraculous plays.

We finally got one.

Glad we won. I hope we can capitalize and keep building.

But that hope is really really thin right now.

Remember 3-2?

Going to be like that.

Not playing Florida this year. Not playing Bama next year. Whole f****** thing stinks.


There will be seasons where LSU plays:

@Missouri
Oklahoma
@Texas
South Carolina
Texas A&M
@Kentucky
Vanderbilt
Arkansas
@Ole Miss

Drive?


Oh I would love to John Madden it, but I have to work that early morning and be in Philadelphia by 4pm.

It's a 14 hour drive from Birmingham to Philly.
I'm flying from Birmingham to Philadelphia in two weeks, and I'm having anxiety about it.

It's weird because I've flown dozens of times in my life and never had issue.

Around three years ago, I developed claustrophobia, something else I had never had an issue with. I was standing in line for a ride at Disney and thought I needed to eat something because I was feeling uncomfortable. I had to leave the line to get some air. A little while later I realized that any confined or overcrowded space made me really uncomfortable.

After that, I started having anxiety issues. I couldn't complete an MRI after multiple attempts (despite having had two MRIs years ago with no issue). I can't ride in the car without driving. Being a passenger sends my anxiety through the roof. Even sometimes when I'm inside my house, I'll feel the need to go outside just to let my body know we're not trapped there.

I've never been an anxiety-riddled person. Ever. Never had claustrophobia. Never feared flying.

But I'm staring at this flight in a few weeks and wondering if I'm going to be the next "that motherfricker is not real!" viral video when I have an inevitable panic attack.

I think I'm developing my first bunion. I hate having wide feet.
I think we win but it'll feel like 3-2.

Auburn has a cheap booster problem.


Are you suggesting our NIL funds aren’t competitive with other SEC schools?

He spent $3 million on an above average G5 QB and couldn’t seem to find any linemen that can block. The defense took ten steps backwards with the same DC.

I’m not saying our boosters don’t have problems but I think personnel decisions are a significant weakness on Golesh’s part
Venables isn’t going anywhere. CFB playoff last year and they beat Texas.

He’ll be on the hot seat next year.

The players care less when they’re being paid. Shocking.


Paid for lackluster production by the way. They’re being courted like they did as high school prospects but given hundreds of thousands to millions based on potential.

A bowl game and a winning record isn’t enough for you? When was the last time we did that? Not sure what you expected us to be this season


It’s like you didn’t even read his post or think one second about the current state of CFB.

There is zero reason to accept “make a shitty bowl game” as the standard of success for a first year coach. There’s also zero reason to accept losing 45-15 to Ole Miss or getting blown out at home just because it’s year one.

Programs are no longer built with recruiting classes that take 2-3 years to materialize.

If a coach can’t figure out how to make us competitive in year one, then they probably aren’t going to figure it out any other year.

And anyway, it’s not like his HS recruiting class is all that great. And he thought a roster of G5 players was a good idea.

So what makes you think the script is going to flip with Golesh?

If we had lost to Georgia (and let’s say Baylor too), this team would be around 2012 levels. We’re a miracle tackle and a butt fumble away from being 2-6.

They just haven’t given up yet.

Somehow our best win is against the likely national champs in their house.

War eagle?
My in-laws have $20 million and that’s still “live like paupers” money.

So apparently more than that.
