LSU Envoy

Classy post with some nice compliments, but 2020 'Bama was not the same team as 2019. This year's squad was focused and relatively healthy throughout the season. 2019 'Bama played LSU with a hobbled QB, no Moses (the signal caller of the defense), a inexperienced DLine and worse DB's. Sorry, but it's not even close.

Teams and players grow and get better, no doubt.

But the ultimate reason 2019 LSU had a better season is because... They beat Bama!!! In Tuscaloosa, no less. No game or opponent that Alabama played this year even came close to the accomplishment of that game.

From what we’ve seen from Will Wade, OBJ, OLOTL, etc it is obvious that LSU has a massive problem. At this point it’s only a matter of time before the NCAA decides they can’t keep ignoring the blatant cheating. OBJ was just doing what he’s seen others do all the time, he’s just too stupid to hide it.

Boy... That's rich coming from a Bama fan!

Pot meet kettle. Let me help you take the log out of the Tide's eye before you try to remove the speck out of others. :lol:

Here's a tidy summary of Bama's shenanigans under Nick Saban:
1) The car program
2) Their players accept money from runners
3) They've been accused of paying players by NFL agents
4) Other coaches in college football think they cheat
5) Their players have taken money from coaches on staff
6) Their players have been accused of taking banned NCAA substances
7) Their players associate with agents
8) The huge memorabilia scandal
9) Their coaches have committed NCAA recruiting violations

But go on thinking that everyone who beats Bama is corrupt, while Bama is the gold standard of compliance and a lily-white virgin.

Interesting that your link doesn't work anymore. Must be a solid "Source" if the tweet has been deleted.

What a bizarre topic to research!

Ultimately, I only care about what a coach does for my school. Other than casual interest, what relevance is this?

Good find!

It'll be interesting to see the change in offensive philosophy, but I'd think it's all predicated on who is selected as coordinator.

Personally, I'm a fan of the pro set offense. I hope LSU doesn't totally abandon the power run, but instead just incorporates spread principles into their offensive schemes.

I think this falls under the heading of failing to address the problem.

I hate to disagree, but failing to address the problem would have been sticking with Les Miles, who had the LSU football program in a slow and steady decline.

You may not like the hire, but Coach O clearly stated that the offense is going to change beginning next season. That's certainly a positive that most fans should be able to get behind.

It's the fact that unless he has AMAZING coordinators, we will be screwed for years...

How is this scenario any worse than it was under Les Miles?

It's not like the whole program is broken. At least Coach O understands that there's a problem with the offense and is going to do something to try to fix it.

Serious question: Do you think Greg Sankey came out looking good from this incident? Did his prestige take a hit?

I don't doubt that if the teams had a mutual bye this thing would have just been played then. The only other game that was in a comparable position was the ucf game. Using Miami and Tampa as barometers is ignorant. I also don't think you can really compare NC and SC since the storm wasn't going to remain a CAT4 once it hit those areas. I don't fault Foley for giving up a home game, but I think they should have just pushed for Monday contingent on the level of damage. I can understand why that's inconvenient for both teams and why he might not have wanted to do that, but you can't just not play the game. Maybe UF felt LSU should give up their Nov 19th game and dug their heels in the sand, but I can understand LSU's position to not do that. I chalk this up to Foley being stubborn and maybe pushing his weight around to push this game to November. I think that's why we are where we are at.

Reasonable post. The only problem is that Alleva said in his interview on Friday that the Nov. 19th date was never discussed prior to the "postponement" of the game.

This is totally solvable between UF and LSU with no one else getting involved.

Actually, no.

If the SEC is truly concerned about player safety, then LSU playing 3 SEC road games in 13 days is an issue. At a minimum the A&M game would need to be moved from Thanksgiving to Saturday.
