I really don't get why LSU fans just assume we would've beaten a really good UGA team that Bama needed a ton of luck to win.

Agreed, although if I could change one thing from 2012 it would be Mathieu plays the whole season. If he’s out there no way Yeldon scores and he likely gives us the edge over UGA as well, the same way he did in 2011. Mett playing UGA in the SECCG would have been really cool to see.

Mostly just sad we didn’t get to see what he could have done for another 13 or more games in purple and gold. But him getting himself together and becoming a possible HOFer and the ultimate representative of LSU with Shaq is about as good a story as we could hope for.


Aside from 1/9, the obvious answer, I’d love for the refs to get the FG call right for OKSt over ISU and see that SEC vs Big 12 matchup, which was the entire point of the BCS to begin with, but I digress.


Saw another mention on Auburn 06, great answer as well. The rematch with UF in the SECCG would have been epic, we’ve still never played them in Atlanta. And obviously seeing us against the 06 OSU squad would have been fun.


Would have liked to see Mett get that win in Athens in 2013. Feel like the season started to unravel after that and getting a win there could have changed the trajectory against Bama and definitely against OM.


One that I think deserves mentioning is Alabama 2015. LF was on track for one of the greatest seasons of all time and the entire thing just fell apart when he got completely shut down. Probably the most impressive defensive performance we’ve ever faced maybe even including 1/9.

If we walk out of Tuscaloosa with a win and break the streak, I don’t think the rest of the season plays out the same way at all. Would have been interesting to see how the team responded.


Same with Wisconsin or Auburn in 2016. Had Miles just started Etling we probably win at Lambeau and the pressure and temperature isn’t what it was going into Auburn. But likely the most important part of changing 2016 would have been wrapping LF in bubble tape in camp. He wasn’t the same after the ankle injury and it cost us against Wisconsin.



For big time fantasy, I think a playoff back in 2001 would have been a lot of fun. If we don’t drop that awful game to Eli and Ole Miss, after which Saban was about as loved as Brian Kelly in Baton Rouge, LSU probably gets in even in a 4 team format.

I’m not one to say we would have beaten Miami, but I do think we’d have taken Nebraska or Oregon or Colorado or whoever else we had to play to get to Miami.

Ro to Reed against that defense would have been an all timer to watch.

That was a totally stupid move. They take out Yellow Sophie but leave the three people calling the shots alone just to appease Sage

---

Nope.

Steven Kristina and Sage control the next vote with his block vote advantage.

Worst case for them is if Savannah wins immunity then Rizzo can play his idol for himself and they have to settle for blue Sophie. But those three would still decide who goes home at final 5.

In theory it was a solid move, as long as he didn’t have to use his advantage he didn’t care as long as Kristina and Sage were ok. Plus they clearly won points with the jury by getting Sophie out, so it worked on multiple levels.

But the problem with his plan is he doesn’t know about Sophie’s KIP advantage, which could blow that up.


My question is why didn’t Rizzo push to just vote out Kristina if he’s so convinced about the steal a vote.

Assuming he knows he’s ok either way and isn’t worried about losing Sophie or Savannah. Still pretty ballsy to trust Steven and hold that idol knowing that if yellow Sophie had gone with Steven Sage and Kristina the numbers were there to get him out. Just supremely confident in his read of everyone week after week.

Back to Steven’s advantage, the note said he had to use the block vote before votes are cast. If Sophie doesn’t know to use it before the vote, not wait until Jeff reads the vote when he asks if anyone has an idol or advantage she might his her chance??

Either way, next tribal will be very interesting.

They know Lane will bring LSU back. Finebaum is one of the melts. Never thought he had a bias or hid it well but he is showing it now. Gonna be fun to watch the hypocrite fans and coaches whine like babies.

He gave a mature answer. Rule #1 when changing jobs is don’t burn your bridges.

Lane has grown.

Hell he even brought up Tennessee and how he didn’t want things to be left that way again.

Guy is a pro and that interview goes a long way to embarrassing all the click bait media whores that were trying to slander him and burn this opportunity for him.


Going to be a fun ride baws :lsu:

Coach O is a top 3 recruiter in the country

But he was a coordinator for Bama did it respectfully, unlike Kiffin who had to be fired cause he’s a POS and focused his time elsewhere while trying to coach Bama…remember that…

---

Yeah, Saban clearly thinks Kiffin is a POS based on everything we’ve seen and heard from him this week.

Sark was already in house so Saban wanted to make the transition to avoid any distractions. Yeah he was pissy about it publicly, like he always was with Lane, but he also gave him a glowing recommendation to FAU, as he did to LSU this time around. But sure, total POS.

Completely different, especially with no transfer portal or NIL or early signing period…

Lane wasn’t going to be a part of their work for the portal regardless, the only question was coaching.

keep making excuses for the douche. Makes you seem petty.

Clearly one of us is definitely being petty here :cool:

Yours is just a prime example of failing upwards that hasn’t won anything meaningful in his entire career

---

You mean other than being on staff for multiple NCs at SC, Alabama, conference titles at FAU, and getting OM to a playoff berth?

Remind me what Smart had won that was “meaningful” when UGA hired him, according to the standard you’re judging Kiffin by?

You must have been so disappointed with that hire, no?

Carter is also too stupid or stubborn to admit OM likely isn’t winning the NC this year, with Kiffin or without.


He could have easily piled blame on Lane, which is trying to do anyway, by saying he wasn’t focused, didn’t prepare, etc, when they lost.

And if by some miracle they pulled it out, that’s an achievement that would have lasted forever. But he and the money behind him chose to be petty and deny Lane the opportunity, with no regard that they were denying themselves the school and fans the opportunity at the same time.


Way to go OM, way to go to, well, you know :lol:

and you are a competitor

This is what I have been saying for years. The dude watched Carroll build a broken USC into a mini dynasty and was a huge part of making Saban’s initial run into the greatest dynasty in CFB history.


He wants that type of legacy, and it was never going to happen at FAU or OM. Period.

No guarantee it happens here obviously, but he has all the resources at his disposal to make it happen if he is capable.

That’s my coach :lsu:
