I don't agree with the anti-Catholic part. Catholics are everywhere, so why should that be a factor? I think you had the right idea with the other stuff.


The anti-Catholic kart was in relation to the Baptist South. It’s also an old English-French rivalry. This goes back hundreds of years, Protestant-Catholic wars, English detesting Catholics, the English Civil War, etc. All that got brought into the U.S. and persisted with divisions in the South.
It’s not that much different than anywhere else in that regard. Look at Alabama.
LSU behaves exactly like every other school and Yankees and Southerners from the “Baptist South” find every reason to hate LSU. It’s anti-Catholic and anti-Cajun bias related to old regional biases and bigotries. Assumptions of “Waterboy.” The assumption of corruption is constant. When a good coach comes here, they all feel betrayed. They can’t fathom it. Why would anyone good want to go THERE with THOSE people?

It’s LSU against the world no matter what we do. Might as well ignore it.
Could have easily had 25 points - 2 missed dunks and a couple of 3s that were in and out. Really solid performance after a slow start (started 0-6).

Was there really not a thread on this, or did I miss it?

Pretty big news tonight in the “More Sports” world.

Celtics are legit.

Why did the buttonmen who jumped Frankie Five Angels say "Michael Corleone says hello" when the intent was to kill him?


I always thought they were trying to pin it on Michael for anyone who heard.

This reminds me of 1/9/12

Sheesh. Dominance.

Kiffin leaving for lsu rallied the donors to go all in… they want to prove their success wasn’t just because of Kiffin and protect their status. So they spent a bunch in the portal.


Best answer. Thanks. Makes sense.

Why did Ole Miss do well in the portal?

I was surprised to see them rank fairly high after Kiffin left. Obviously, he built it. But, what’s the draw otherwise?
“Eli Manning ranks highly in several all-time NFL passing categories, including 7th in career passing yards (57,023), touchdowns (366), and completions (4,895) at his retirement.”

2 Super Bowl win, 2-time Super Bowl MVP, 8-4 playoff record.

In 14 years, he only missed one game.

Top 10 all time in every major category.

Beat the 18-0 Patriots in the biggest upset of all time.

I think he’s a hall of famer.
Is this why he got shot in the back over and over 11 days later?
Wait, I remember Phil Loadholt but don’t remember why. What was his story?
A strong, competitive team that fights and is competent and excellent in all three phases of the game.

I expect good coaching and good players who work hard

I expect a program that is aligned and working together

I expect discipline and innovation

Championships are a result of a good process, talent, good coaching, and a lot of good fortune, so I never have a “championship or bust” mentality. But, I do expect competency.

All we have is football … and baseball. So, it’s always “all in.”

Keep up or quit.
What are you talking about?

Ancient history?

Houston was favored and we didn’t even have a coach or quarterback and half our players were gone.
Everything in college football is year to year now. Expecting a player or coach to stay for any length of time is delusional. It’s pure chaos.

Plus, so what if he leaves after a couple of years or 5 years or 10 years or 15 years? All we have is today anyway.

How is Lane doing today? That’s all that matters until there is CFB reform of some kind. It’s not 2010 anymore. It’s the Wild West and we bought a mercenary gunslinger with a chip on his shoulder. So be it.

Do we need any corners?

What’s our cornerback situation? I see we haven’t taken one yet. Are we eyeing anyone or are we good?

This is not a complaint thread or doom saying. It’s a simple question as to the CB situation.
