OL is the MOST pressing & important thing we need to fill ASAP
Posted by oneg8rh8r on 12/28/25 at 12:52 pm
NO smart QB is going to make a decision to come to LSU without knowing if the OL will be there.
8
We failed at RB development, OL development and play calling in the face of lack of development. They recruited well, but that is where they stagnated.
The RB coach and the OL coach and the play caller needed to figure out each's strengths and weaknesses and use accordingly, they did not. Good riddance to all of them.

Those two and our C are the only 3 that I think are worth fighting for.
Berry chose OM, Lacy chose LSU. I am of the opinion that they both would have had very similar results behind the same OL. Don't get me wrong, I'd take him in a heartbeat as an addition, but not a swap.
WE NEED OL way more than a 2nd back that will have Berry production behind a untrained / unskilled OL.
As long as the funds used to acquire Lacy don't interfere with OL budget it would be nice.

All that is for naught without the best OL.

The options for CBB on an 7-5 team, although all the losses were to AP top 25 teams, will be substantially different if he stays put and is the DC for a NC team.
Look at the pieces that he will have to work with next year ALREADY, add the portal to that and the talent will be SICK; with an O to boot.
The timing is right for Tulane, but the ceiling would be through the roof if he stays a year or 2.

I brought you up weeks ago. Everyone is going to be shocked, realizing we could have done this all yr long.
Exactly......you bring him on staff, pay him 1m with a job at LSU and that negates the HC contract.
He dont need the money as much as he wants to be part of LSU

There is NOT ONE SINGLE GUY on this team that has the ability to return that should declare early this year.
85% chance of a .25 cut in Dec. that's the expectation

I'm quite sure that NIL money will be spent on the best OL.
You guys shouldn't be shocked when LK turns JJJ into our dual threat QB and he has been on the team all year.

Retired Senior Chief, 24 yrs, but that was a parley of 3 houses over the course of 20 years. Put about 600K into a full renovation from the slab up, EVERYTHING (roof, furnace, H20 heater, doors, window, kitchen, bathrooms, etc.) is new except the exterior walls and slab.
Initial loan was 540K, paid for the upgrades, then when rates were rock bottom, refinanced and pulled out what we had put into it in cash.

There are people in Seattle area that wouldn't think twice about 5M on a second, vacation home.
Interesting financial question for my military folks
Posted by oneg8rh8r on 11/14/25 at 9:54 pm
I have my house for sale. 900K VA loan with 2.25% fixed rate. If someone buys my house with their own VA eligibility, the loan can be transferred to them, I get my eligibility back.
I am being told that I can transfer my loan to someone who doesn't have VA eligibility, but then mine would forever stay tied to this house until they sold it or paid it off & died.
The question is, how would that value be calculated? 1% in rate = 1 point (1 percent of loan amt). Current non VA rates are about 5.5%, so the difference is about 3.25% of 900k. That's about 29K, but I would be losing out on the ability to get into my next home with $0 down and have to put up 20% to not have PMI. Additionally, I'd have to pay to refi later.
1. is it worth it to let someone keep my VA eligibility tied up?
2. what is it worth to them? They would be saving about $700K over the life of the loan.
*The buyer would be paying $5930 vs $4700 monthly; saving $1230 / month & pay his remaining mtg off 55 months early.
Has anyone heard or done this?

My fear is that we pull LK.
He does well enough, but doesn't win a NC, not within 2 yrs or even 4. Say we only make the playoffs once maybe twice.
We will fire him and we will owe him 80M NOT TO COACH.

I don't even know who I want at this point.
LK is a fool if he leaves OM for UF or LSU, both schools have proven they have VERY short leashes and crazy expectations and are proving they are a financial disaster to deal with. Lane hasn't proven anything YET and he could go from the hottest coach on the market where he is able to force OM's hand to do just about anything to really screwing it up in a few years if he doesn't win a NC at LSU or UF. All risk, very little chance for reward.....and he would have to sustain it.
I love LSU, but I think their recent antics are KILLING any chance of a great coach taking a risk with this shite show.

Market makers create a little drama, weak hands sell good positions, and smart people buy the micro dips.
If you are smart, DCA into good ETF's or stocks you plan to own regardless of what happens in the short term. Keep 15-20% in something very low risk and available in the event of a huge sell off. Rinse and Repeat.
If you are nearing retirement, do the same thing but in ETF's that pay good dividends.

OL needs to ball out, both in run support and pass protection. If we get that, we will win.
They don't have to be miracle workers, but make creases for run lanes and give our QB's 2.75 seconds.
