Ninety-two down votes? Don't say anything negative about LSU's performance. These children are easily offended.

Why begin your statement with, "I mean..."?

I'd really like to hear something a little more specific from you. What exactly is TRIPE in what I suggested? For three years LSU finished the season ranked well below its preseason forecast. A preseason No. 5 ranked team with a Heisman Trophy winner at QB and two first-round draft choice wide receivers could not make it into the Top 10. The Tigers were 4-8 against the point spread last year -- indicating to me their were underperforming. What evidence do you have to prove me wrong?

Let's simplify this. Recognizing that Brian Kelly inherited a program in disarray, are you satisfied with his progress?. How many 3/4-loss seasons are acceptable.

Now that the high school and portal signing periods are complete, what is Brian Kelly's status heading toward his fourth season in Baton Rouge? He said he left Notre Dame because he did not receive the resources he needed to succeed there, and the fact LSU tripled his salary may have been a factor in his decision. Kelly has received some extra national press attention after his replacement, Marcus Freeman, led the Irish to the national champion game, while LSU was not within shouting distance of a spot in the 12-team playoff field.
To be fair, Kelly left Freeman a program that had been 54-9 over Kelly's last five years, while he inherited a program that looked like Desden, Germany after the Allied air forces had worked it over in 1945. Coach O happily took the buyout and the new babe and headed to the beach.
Just a year ago, Coach Kelly said he was dedicated to rebuilding his team with blue-chip high school recruits, and for a while it looked as if he was succeeding at that approach. But nine recruits, including the top quarterback in the country, decommitted and Kelly lost many head-to-head recruiting battles. Now he is boasting that his No. 1 portal class will be the answer.
Scott Woodward must feel some pressure to support Kelly after his "successful" signing of Jimbo Fisher at A&M didn't work out too well. But a 72% winning percentage will not get it done much longer. If Kelly loses his fourth straight season opener against a Clemson and fails to make the playoffs again, the LSU fanbase will be up in arms. Let's hope Kelly can get it all together the next time around.

When did this become a comparison between Kirby Smart and Brian Kelly? I've been very disappointed in LSU's performance since 2019 and still question if Kelly is the man for the job. Smart has done an outstanding job at Georgia. He was just an insufferable jerk after Saturday's game when he took a childish cheap shot at Stanley before a national audience.

What has Kirby Smart have to complain about? His team played on the road just four times out of their 12 regular season games. They weren't "put on the road all year long", as Kirby whined. Even the SEC championship game Was played in Georgia, as always. Not an unfair advantage for the Bulldogs, I guess. Even though he had road trips to Kentucky, Alabama and Mississippi this year, all three played in Athens in 2023. Kirby could live with that. SEC game sites are alternated yearly. By the way, the Bulldogs have played Alabama in four of the last five years -- two in Athlens and two in Tuscaloosa. Bama won all four. I'm no big fan of the SEC office but Kirby Smart's cheap shot at Greg Sankey made Kirby look petulant, foolish -- and Wrong!

2028-29 Elijah Haven, Colton Nussmeier, Miachi Ziegler battle for starting job.

The three highest ranked players in the Texas recruiting calls were lost by LSU in head-to-head competition.

Walz retired after he heard the unit might be deployed. It was a two-year deployment so Walz was supposed to be with these guys. He brags in his campaign ads to being a Command Sargent Major but this conditional promotion was declared null and void when he failed to meet requirements. Classic Stolen Valor lie on his part.
