No LSU player has ever led the nation in sacks so that'd be fun.

Damn this is so hard to believe considering all the talent we've had over the years
Thought LSU was doing a Halloween theme because the end zone looks lime green

They not SEC.

If refs can determine intent now

Don’t worry, that’s only against the Saints

going independent won't be as bad as we imagine it would be

We could get our own exclusive TV deal, not have to split earnings if we win a championship, and have the same clause as Notre Dame has where they’re basically guaranteed to make the playoff if they don’t completely implode.
Matt Mitchell’s skits are pretty funny.

I think the ones that are streaming the games and monetizing it are reporting him so that it drives traffic to their site.

Now that LSU's knocked out, we should return the favor

The masses are ready to fire him. You’ll be squarely roasted

Yeah, the dumb-masses
Like when Purdue had Drew Brees as the QB coach when we played them in the Citrus Bowl.

Rummel
Affect = verb [1]
- Means to influence or change something.
- Example: “The rain can affect your mood.”

Effect = noun [2]
- Means a result or outcome.
- Example: “The effect of the rain was a calmer day.”

Shortcut:
If you need a verb, use affect.
If you need a noun, use effect.

*rare exceptions, but this works 99% of the time

Edit, more examples:
Affect: (to influence/change)
- “The rumor that Lane Kiffin will accept the LSU job today has affected the mood of the entire fanbase.”
- “Kiffin’s expected move could affect LSU’s recruiting class immediately.”
- “News of Kiffin’s potential hire affected how other candidates approached the search.”

Effect: (the result/outcome)
- “The biggest effect of Kiffin reportedly taking the LSU job is a surge of hype across Baton Rouge.”
- “One effect of the rumor is that other SEC teams are suddenly on alert.”
- “If Kiffin accepts the job, the long-term effect on LSU’s offense could be yuuuuge.”

- Affect = action (Kiffin’s decision influences things)
- Effect = end result (what happens because he takes the job)

Footnotes:
[1] Noun:
If you can name it/be it, it’s a noun.
Coach
Lane Kiffin
LSU (these two are proper nouns, but still nouns)
Contract
Playbook

[2] Verb:
If you can do it, it’s a verb
OP’s mom (joke)
Accepts (the job) | (note: not except)
Coaches (the team)
Wins (games)
Celebrate (Kiffin coming to BR)
It’s how ‘Edd Osharon’ recruited ‘Joesph Burrows’.
Context for those of us stuck at work?
