One could argue Hershel Walker deserved three Heismans. For a career, it could also be Tebow.
For a season, probably Barry and Burrow would make a very short list.

The 2011 loss to Alabama is the most disappointing loss in LSU history simply because of the stakes involved, who the opponent/coach was, and because we could finally have something to hang over their heads after decades of getting dominated.
As for regular season games, 1979 USC was a religious experience that only lacked a victory. That LSU fans still call a loss one of the greatest games in our history speaks volumes.
Even though there were no trophies or titles at stake, it's a "you had to be there" to appreciate its magnitude. It would top 1997 Florida as LSU's greatest home upset IMO.
And that was a BS facemask call on Benji! McClendon knew it. Benji knew it, and USC knew it!!!!!

Sela,
I got bifocals in my early 40s and readers around 50 (you can get a pack of 3 for less than $20 at CVS/WMart/etc) but they come in different focuses so make sure you get the right one. Keep one at your workspace and one in the car for starters).
Bifocals aren't bad. A simple eye exam will get you the right prescription which you can take to Target for a good price for lenses and frames.
Good luck!

re: Why do 80’s channels and compilations focus on the early 1980’s?
Posted by ATCTx on 12/16/25 at 12:13 pm to weagle1999
This is pretty easy. The top artists/bands of the 70s (Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, Boston, Journey, Foreigner, Styx, Prince, Heart, Michael Jackson, Bowie, the Stones, McCartney/Harrison, Queen, the Police, Duran Duran, etc etc etc) peaked or dropped off from 1980 - 1986. With a few exceptions, they were pretty much done making their best albums.
At the end of the 80s, Guns and Roses, Janet Jackson, and Madonna kept things going along with Hair Bands, but there is no comparison with the first half of the 80s. Not even close.
I was a student/young adult during the 80s and have no bias either way.

Honestly, four years of days like that would be awesome!
Being on that campus as an LSU football player is probably better than I can imagine. We didn't see the hard work, but I could get used to that routine.
Good job CJ and best of luck next season!

re: Is Kiffin doing any kind of interview on gameday?
Posted by ATCTx on 12/6/25 at 9:52 am to JimTiger72
I think his 'presence" was more felt by his NOT being there. They were all talking about him and LSU rather than just being focused on the same things he's said all week and taking shots at him.
The message is "he is busy recruiting players, coaches and assembling a staff. He doesn't have time to fly to Atlanta just so a few people can hammer him for going to LSU".
I like this message.

The problem with Penn State (fans) is they think they are equal to Ohio State. Maybe in the 70s and 80s but that ship sailed.
They fired Franklin and their plan seemed to be "We are Penn State, we'll get our top choice". After getting far down their list, they were VERY LUCKY to get Campbell.
Maybe it works out, or maybe it looks like a gigantic mismanaged coaching mess.

re: Maybe Lane wanted Starting Portal QB for Huge $$ it would take to Nab Duckworth
Posted by ATCTx on 12/4/25 at 10:32 am to TigerSaurus
In Coach Kiffin's initial presser he said he could not wait to get on the phone when the portal opens because of the interest he had around the country for transferring to Ole Miss, implying it would be even higher at LSU.
He has his targets he's confident he can sign. He determined Duckworth would be a nice pickup but not worth it considering who he thinks he can get.
He will get two QBs in the portal. Duckworth is probably factoring in this too. He can start at SC, He'll have to compete at LSU.

re: ESPN projection has LSU vs Nebraska in the music city. We have never beaten them.
Posted by ATCTx on 12/1/25 at 10:46 pm to GrizzlyWintergreen
Pretty sure three of those losses were bowl games in the 80s when Nebraska was the real deal and their cornfed behemoth linemen pushed us around.
Hypothetically and I mean really hypothetically because I'm genuinely curious.
If Georgia rolls Alabama and Ala misses the playoffs a second year, Debour and Alabama agree to mutually part ways and he goes to PSU, who does Alabama go after?
I'm confident Lane wouldn't if offered.
Dabo probably three years ago but not now.
Lanning - he'd be interested but I don't see it
Heupel - may be the best one left
Sark - total lateral move
Who then?

That Lane picked LSU over Florida is telling. Florida is a very good program, some would say equal to LSU.
The only three programs I think could have beaten out LSU for Lane are Texas, Alabama and Georgia, although you could argue GA is a lateral move.
Lane has never coached up north so Ohio State, Michigan and PSU are probably out. I don't see ND hiring him.
The only other school that might intrigue Lane is Miami. THAT would be very interesting.
I"m glad he's here. It's about to be fun around here again.

re: We went from the most hated coach in cfb
Posted by ATCTx on 12/1/25 at 9:35 am to Vanilla Thunder
The national sports media is like the news media. They are snobs whose objective is to be seen as "for the little guy" and more importantly, welcome at the wine and cheese parties with others who think just like them.
LSU, despite our success, popular brand, and numerous alums on their own networks, is NOT in their club. They see us as backwards rednecks and uneducated party animals.
We stole their beloved blue blood coach from Notre Dame and they mocked him immediately. Now, their righteous indignation at our taking a coach from Ole Miss? So disingenuous. They could care less about Ole Miss other than criticizing their mascot.
They don't like us and they resent it when we prosper. Good.

Prior to today, what fanbase has hated their coach the most for leaving in SEC history?
Tennesse - Kiffin
LSU - Paul Dietzel
Oklahoma - Lincoln
That's all that pops into my mind without giving it too much thought. I'm sure there are others.
Nothing compares to what just happened to Ole Miss. The reason it is so monumentally painful is because Ole Miss knows it will probably never have it that good again, and THAT is gut-wrenching.
There is a Grand Canyon amount of space between Saban going to the Dolphins and later Alabama vs. Saban going to Alabama after an undefeated season and possible BCS appearance.

Who would actually believe something so illogical? It's way more likely Ole Miss gave the assistants ultimatums as they clearly panicked for 48 hours.
Kiffin is going to give ultimatums to assistants who already have jobs at Ole Miss (and reportedly for more pay)? That would be stupid. Lane is a lot of things. Stupid isn't one. He's going to a place where you could keep the entire defensive staff in place. He's going to threaten a few offensive coaches and make them come with?
He could assemble a good offensive staff in one week.
Stupid rumor.

I think his fellow SEC coaches may not sleep well this week. I know I am very glad he's not at Florida, Auburn, Ole Miss, etc. They know what he can do here.
But yes, that would be a great fraternity to be in.

I think probably Bo Rein.
Every coach since has been a promotion (orgeron archer Stovall) a mildly successful tier 2 program coach (saban, miles, dinardo, hallman) or someone nobody knew was available (Kelly), or the AD's guy few here knew about (arnsparger)
From what I remember, Rein was the guy everybody expected to be LSU's Bobby Bowden.
