Your logic here makes way too much sense for corporate America: if the departments under the CEO are failing, it's generally the people lower on the corporate ladder who are let go voluntarily or involuntarily.

In this case of LSU basketball, this situation perfectly aligns with a dysfunctional corporation: upper management (JJ and Joe Alleva) are retained. Meanwhile, the people below them (the players & recruits) are unable to play and work under the conditions set forth by their incompetent overlords. Then, the people invested in your product suffer from your lack of self awareness.

This is what has happened to LSU basketball. The people invested in your product (the fans) will eventually make the choice not to buy what you're selling. No recruit and/or player wants to play in a vacant stadium. Explains Cedric Russell's decommitment, and probably others hesitance when it comes to making their choice on where to play college ball. And I can't say I blame them.
Very sure.

If he was running 6.39 in the 60, he would be #1 on the NCAA Indoor Track and Field performance list by more than a tenth of a second which isn't very likely. Kid is still one heck of an athlete though.

It's a good way to find tidbits on recruiting for people who don't have access to insider information. Simply thought it was an interesting thing to say.

Me and @Official_MalikJ wont be on the same team at the UA All American game! #HeartBroken :( wanted to ball with him at least once!

An interesting post. I know most people are predicting Jefferson to TAMU and UT. I suppose we have an outside shot if he comes back with parents (dad hasn't seen LSU I believe?) before his decision date on Dec. 19th. Thoughts?

We're his flavor of the week I suppose.

I happened to find this post amusing. An upvote for you, sir. :lol:
Maybe it's due to the fact that I've only been to Athens once (last year for LSU/UGA), but I thought everyone was incredibly friendly there and my experience was very positive. A random UGA girl on campus (attractive I might add, seemed to be alot of good looking girls in Athens) asked my friend and I if we needed help finding our way around (we were both wearing purple and gold). UGA fans invited my friend and I to their tailgate, shared booze, etc. even though we were in LSU gear.

Something tells me they are leaving key parts out of the story. I'd be willing to guess they were drunk and instigating things. It seems pretty unlikely all of these things happen to them if they are minding their own business.

I thought the same thing as well. I guess I'm frustrated with the fact that we essentially fixed the defense with personnel changes and if we aren't doing the same with the offense, then we have to change the scheme (I know, join the club).

I understand it's not ground breaking. I mainly wrote it to point out that I liked the drive where Jennings fumbled the ball (until he gave up the ball up of course). I guess I was just tired of seeing threads pointing out LF not getting enough carries, the threads blaming Jennings, etc. Was hoping for a thread to see if any X and O's guys (mainly OL gurus) could explain why/if there's any reason not to go with multiple formations with a makeshift OL. How complicated Grimes' scheme is, etc.

For any O-line gurus: help?

Last night's loss has little to do with Anthony Jenning being terrible, LF not getting carries, the OL being a mess.

The game plan had absolutely no creativity. How can any team, regardless of the running backs, run when the line gets absolutely zero push? At halftime, how can a staff look at the offensive output and suddenly think the opposing defense will fare any differently using the same exact formations?

At halftime, it's not about putting Harris in. He wouldn't have been put in a position to succeed with no creativity.

Starting the 3rd quarter, there's no reason not to go into the shotgun with a few 3/4 wide receiver sets (for example). Your offensive output can't possibly get any worse. Give them a look they haven't seen very often on film. The drive where Jennings fumbled: we moved the ball with relative success. Why? Because we attempted to give them a different formation. Arkansas had 10 days to prepare for this game. They weren't going to be confused by our offensive sets used for the Alabama/Ole Miss games. It didn't work in those games either. It just allowed us to stay in those games.

Solid offenses need versatility in their formations/pre-snap looks. Our lack of offensive output has nothing to do with run/pass ratios. We can still run the ball effectively if we mix up formations. I'm not suggesting we switch to the spread, completely abandon what we've done, etc. I'm simply suggesting a mix-up of pre-snap looks, not always running on first down, getting backs involved in the passing game, just to name a few.
Have you forgotten that you lost to a redshirt freshman QB in your own stadium?

Let me remind you that you were beaten soundly by Arizona. On both sides of the ball. This game was more lopsided than the score reflected. Your defense gave up nearly 500 yards of total offense. Oregon was held to less than 100 rushing yards in between the tackles that game. You were nearly beaten by Washington State.

Because Mariota has exorcised his demons against Stanford, the media seems to forgive that game against Arizona. Arizona is a team that nearly lost to UTSA, Nevada and won a hail mary against Cal. This isn't a team you should lose to at home.

This is why I don't believe Oregon will take down the SEC. And for those reasons, I'm out.
Most LSU fans understand QB problem isn't our only problem.

There's not much LSU can do to fix it's D-line/O-line problems from a personnel standpoint but we can hope the units continue to grow together and get better. Strong QB play can make up for many other deficiencies on the field. The QB play can be CHANGED. We can go from a game manager to someone who at least has potential. Not saying Brandon Harris is going to come in and light up the SEC in his first start on the road, but he gives us more of a chance on offense than Anthony Jennings can at this point in time.

There's your reasons why LSU fans talk about it so much.
Reasons:
Les Miles is starting a quarterback who has scored a TD on his last 9 out of 10 drives starting under center.

The hatter moves remarkably well under pressure and has a rocket for an arm for a guy in his 60's.
The QB play isn't about who does/doesn't make mistakes. There hasn't been a single game this year that Jennings showed he can win you a game or provide big plays. Even in the Wisconsin game, if it wasn't for Diarse willing himself to the endzone, we lose that game. At some point, the offense can't simply be a unit that doesn't turn the ball over. Seems obvious, but they have to score points. Harris played with the same o-line Jennings did. It doesn't matter that it was against a 3 man rush or against backups, etc. Miss State's backups were better than any of the 3 opponents we faced prior to the game. Harris proved he can move the ball up the field.

I'm not delusional enough to think Harris won't make freshman mistakes during the year if he starts. But he also gives us a chance to make plays that Jennings hasn't proven he can make.
Boise St. is obviously not what they were under the Petersen era. As ugly as that game was, it's a good thing for OM to know they can play poorly on offense through 3 quarters and still come out on top by close to 3 TDs. Plus the defense looked great.

People make WAY too much of first games. I'm not saying OM is going to set the world on fire, and anybody with half a brain knows that we have absolutely no idea what any team is capable of after 1 performance. Same thing with ATM and USCe. These games are played with no chance to see how their guys are in a game situation minus a spring scrimmage against their own team. So to answer the original post, maybe. But maybe not.
Agreed it's tough to tell outside the tourist areas here in NOLA. But I see a decent amount of Ole Miss folks so I'd probably put them somewhere behind Bama in terms of fan base here.

For the religious historians on the board:

On the 7th day, God rested. While he was resting, having eaten a big bowl of Texas chili the night before, he decided to use part of the Earth as his personal john. In doing so, with his almighty powers, did something only a creator's feces could do: create a place for unfortunate souls to call home. And that, my friends, is the story of College Station, Texas.
Couldn't agree more. Also, I feel like Ego and AJ didn't give consistent EFFORT and neither lived up to their expectations.

Experienced doesn't always mean better. Example: we had experienced corners last year that were displaced by 2 true freshmen (very talented freshmen). I think this year's defense will be significantly better than last years. By how much, only time will tell.
