Alltheway Tigers!

O-line is ok.

Sam has not been with the team a year. He is still figuring out WR and such and the line and the playbook.

Brian Kelly's worst year, he went 9-4.

Somewhat true. He got fired in middle of the last season and it was not for looking like a 9-4 team.

The problem is once we went up 13-10 and had all the momentum in the world,

We didn’t have that much momentum. We should have scored more than 13 points and more than one TD.

I was at the game Saturday night and, after thinking about it, I believe Alabama won as much through strategy and patience as execution. Defensively, Bama showed a five-man front but varied who rushed and dropped into coverage, generally keeping three or four deep. They were willing to concede short passes, using their speed to limit yards after the catch and betting LSU couldn’t consistently finish drives. Offensively, Bama wasn’t trying to establish a dominant rushing attack. They wanted enough snaps to get comfortable with Baker’s defensive looks, frustrate the pass rush, and identify opportunities for big plays. LSU’s failure to turn first-half yardage into points was critical. Give LSU another 10 points and it’s 13–10 at halftime. Give them 17 and it’s 20–10. Suddenly the crowd, both locker rooms, and the decisions each coaching staff makes are very different. Instead, Bama had the lead and confidence its strategy was working.

In the second half, Leavitt’s limitations became increasingly apparent. He struggled with intermediate and deep throws, waiting for receivers to be visibly open rather than anticipating an open area and trusting them to get there. The improvisation and athleticism that worked at Arizona State don’t work nearly as well against Alabama’s speed. This effectively shrank LSU’s playbook, made the offense predictable, and allowed Bama to become more aggressive. Meanwhile, Alabama had seen enough of LSU’s defense to exploit opportunities, and the pass rush became less effective. LSU still took the lead in the third quarter, but Bama’s immediate answer was decisive. To me, Alabama didn’t physically dominate LSU. They stayed patient, denied LSU the early points that would have forced a change in strategy, and eventually took control. LSU had opportunities to dictate the game and failed to capitalize.

Our loses boil down to 2 major things....Turnovers, and not finishing drives with points (often times those two are tied together). It's as simple as that.

This. No reason a KY defense should have stopped us the amount they did. Defense kept us in the game with Bama but could not score any meaningful points at home. Ole Miss was emotional the first half, leading to both sides of the ball getting nothing in the first half.

I have faith in Lane. We barely had a winning record last year. We play better this year. Issues? Yep, we have them but better than last year. We will end up 2-3 wins better than last year.

In 2025, the Rebels had one lost to GA and avenged that in the playoffs and made it to number 3 in the country. Took him a few years to get it right. In 2026, Rebels have 3 losses, two brutal and the worse home loss beatdown between two ranked time in awhile. 28-0 at half? 42-7 at the end.

Bad game. I would use NIL and take all the $5 players.

Remember the uncalled holding from the UK game times 10!

Prince need to develop a spin move so he can alternate between the spin to the inside and the outside speed rush.

For instance, it says I have slightly above average skeletal muscle mass, that it is balanced, but it also says that my legs could use more muscle mass. I found that surprising because I thought it would have been inverted if anything but I will focus more on legs now.

Tells me I need more upper body work, which I agree with.

Been with Hume and its scale for almost a year. Always tells me I need more sleep.

We sold to both sides. Drained Europe of a lot of wealth all without having to declare war until late.

24-10 and TOP is just about even. Surprising.
