Who’s LSU’s #1 starter QB in 2026?

This season we will finish either 8-4 or 9-3.

Next year we will also finish either 8-4 or 9-3.

Next year we’ll lose to Clemson, Bama, Ole Miss, and maybe one more.

It’s all so predictable.

Let’s discuss.

Let’s get everyone on the record BEFORE the winner is announced.

I would be too if I were him. An inept Head Coach is ruining his next payday.

The slimeball just chastised a reporter for asking the question. There is no way in the effing world I would ever let a kid of mine play for that sleeze bag. A liar above all liars! When can the reporter expect an apology from this a-hole?

"I think it's pretty selfish of you to ask me that question, to be honest with you," Schlossnagle said. "But I left my family to be the coach at Texas A&M. I took the job at Texas A&M to never take another job again. And that hasn't changed in my mind. That's unfair to talk about something like that. That would be like you asking (Braden) Montgomery if he's going to sign in the draft. But I understand you've got to ask the question. But I gave up a big part of my life to come take this job. And I poured every ounce of my soul into this job and I gave this job every ounce I could possibly give it. Write that."

Wow. It seems people are dogpiling on Schloss for what he said in the postgame presser. Let me explain why I think there’s nothing writing with what Schloss said in the above quoted.

The first sentence - “I think it’s selfish…” That’s his opinion, and it’s justified. His team just got beat by one run in a deciding World Series game. Literally no coach would be happy as a lark after such an outcome, especially when he has to sit at a press conference and deal with being asked a personal question about other jobs. He was clearly agitated. It’s a selfish question, because it was a question about himself, not about his team.

The next two sentences, “I took the job at Texas A&M to never take another job again. And that hasn't changed in my mind.”

True statements. When he took the job at A&M, he took it with the idea that he would never take another job again. Even if he takes another job, or five more jobs, the rest of his career, that does not change the trueness of his original sentiment that he took the A&M job with the idea that he would never take another job. Even though another team offered him twice as much money three years later, his original sentiment that led him to take the A&M job has not changed, which is exactly what he said. What is he supposed to do? Go back in time to when he got hired by A&M in 2021 and change his sentiment? Come on people. None of us can change how we felt on a specific day three years ago. That’s common sense.

Next sentences, “That's unfair to talk about something like that. That would be like you asking (Braden) Montgomery if he's going to sign in the draft. But I understand you've got to ask the question.”

Appropriate analogy. The point of a post game press conference is supposed to be to field questions about your team’s performance and its win or loss, i.e. the game itself, not to field personal questions about jobs or future plans. But he understands that media likes to ask such things.

Last sentences, “But I gave up a big part of my life to come take this job. And I poured every ounce of my soul into this job and I gave this job every ounce I could possibly give it. Write that.”

All true. He moved away from his family. He poured his soul into the job and gave the job all he could possibly give it. Notice he spoke in the past tense. Instead of saying “I have poured my soul into this job and have given this job all that I have,” which would be the present tense, indicating he was staying at A&M, he spoke in the past tense, which indicated he was leaving A&M. This is not at all similar to when Saban said, “I will not be the Alabama head coach.” That was a lie. What Schloss said here was the truth, but stated indirectly, i.e. cleverly disguised.

I don’t understand the uproar.

We have three games left, all three against the three teams just below us in the playoff seeding. Two of those teams have veteran rosters with NBA champions. We will learn a lot about who the Pelicans are over these last three games.

I hope I’m wrong, but before the season I predicted a 48-34 finish. Willie had 36 wins his first year, 42 last season, and 48 would mean another six game improvement, hence my prediction. That would mean 1-2 over the last three. That honestly sounds about right. I imagine we’d beat the Kings and lose to the Lakers and Warriors. If this happens, we will not be the sixth seed. I hope I’m wrong. I hope we win out, but this will be a hell of a litmus test. Let’s flap.

That is our identity.

If y’all really want to know everything, there’s a pages long story in The Athletic from 2019 about their courtship (rather, Tom’s pursuit of her). Gayle is very candid here. It’s quite a memorable piece. While reading this, I found myself fascinated and thoroughly amused. Here’s how it all happened.

My take was so unreasonable, right, admins?

My bullshite Take from Last Night

I think FSU wins the ACC Championship game, but it will be completely uninspiring; a 12-7 or a 13-7 type win.

If that happens, FSU gets left out of the CFP. All of you are talking about Bama possibly getting in over Texas. I don’t know where that sentiment is coming from, but that won’t happen. Bama will get in over FSU instead.

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Texas
4. Bama
5. FSU

The committee is tasked with putting in the four best teams. Can anyone honestly say FSU is one of four best teams? If FSU played Bama, who would win? I think we all know.
