But if you get punished by the CFP for losing it even if it’s close, there’s no advantage to playing it


This is actually backwards. Look at Miami-ND. ND is not getting punished for losing to Miami opening weekend, but Miami is also not getting much credit for it (even in head to head comparison). So while there is little benefit, it's actually not because of the risk of losing.

Your fear delights me.
We were ready to wait. It's Ole Miss who said tell us you'll be here or gtfo, and yet somehow we're the villain.

This is not true
Haha so original, and really funny. Well done, and thanks for posting.

LSU Policy on Firearms

You should probably read the policy before making a post about it. You can have a gun in your car. Such a lazy post, be better.

Nike's dry fit material and styling has been completely surpassed by about a dozen brands. It's a shame because they used to be sweet back in the day. Maybe I'm just older and out of touch with style (not that I was ever in touch with it), but my money spends elsewhere for LSU gear now.

Unlike your reply to the poster who shut down your argument re: state funding, which was completely non-existent.
Your obvious hyperbole really undercuts your point and shows how little you actually know about any of this.
I have family in higher ed who teach in majors that are often taken by student-athletes. They fail them if they don't do the work, just like they would anyone else. If they didn't, guys like John Emery wouldn't have any issues staying eligible.

Also, there is free tutoring available to all students. You're talking out of your arse.
Look at the degrees the guys who graduated in December received. They are things like poli-sci, marketing, MBA, MS in HR and Leadership Development. While they're not going into petroleum engineering, those are legitimate degrees that hundreds of regular students also graduate with each year. Sure, there are plenty of football players who don't do jack in the classroom. There are plenty of normal undergrads who don't too.

I entered LSU with a scholarship, phucked around, made awful grades, lost the scholarship, still managed to graduate from LSU's easy arse business school, worked, went to law school, and consider myself a pretty decent functioning member of society. I have dozens of friends who took the exact same or eerily similar routes.

My point is that LSU isn't Harvard. There are some fantastic programs, and some fantastic students, but all in all, plenty of undergrads who show up are just doing it to check a box and party. No different from the football players, except the football players have to work a hell of a lot harder even when they're just phucking around.
Your son's experience has little to do with or in common with an athlete's. The vast majority of LSU's money goes to the university, not the athletic program.

Athletics isn't the tail wagging the dog, it's the front porch of the university, and it's rightfully treated as such. That said, it's still by no means taking away from the average student's educational experience.

My son score really well on ACT and had a very high GPA. I still have to pay some.


Does your son help generate millions of dollars for the university each year through what's essentially a full-time job on top of his work in the classroom?

Judkins is a very good RB but let’s not act like Kiffins offense is dependent on a RB


Kiffin's offense is extremely run heavy, this just isn't true. If the run gets shutdown, the whole thing goes to shite.
He went to the ACC championship with ND in 2020
