Think of it this way....you're about to have one of the best entrees in your life, but the dessert is going to leave a lot to be desired and you'll finish a bad taste in your mouth. That said, the meal as a whole will be worth it and savor every bite of that entree.

Also, even though this is an obvious troll attempt, LSU receives double the amount of applications (60k to 30k) compared to Arkansas, with 82 percent of those coming from out-of-state and actually wins national championships in major sports (see baseball last year :pimp:).

Oregon, Texas, LSU, Texas Tech, A&M, Miami and Ohio St. are all set to do well in the new NIL era. I don't see UGA going anywhere either so some combination of those teams will probably be in the mix most years.

Very well coached team. The bigger question is how did it take Cignetti this long to become such a dominant force and how was he under the radar until his 60s?

I don't have Michigan "sauces," but was at a Michigan game a couple of years ago and was at a reception with several UM higher-ups. I mentioned LSU and Michigan had never played and got a response they'd never consider playing the Tigers so long as Brian Kelly was there. It came across that there's some bad blood from when he was at Notre Dame, but I didn't pry for more info. Everything I've seen that last two days is backing that assumption up.

I'm dating a Reb, but graduated from LSU so have gotten to experience both a good bit.

Oxford definitely has a way better bar scene and a cool small town charm or vibe to it, but I honestly liked LSU's campus better (more unique Italian Renaissance architecture and the live oaks everywhere vs. a more standard southern campus).

There's also a lot more to do in Baton Rouge, but on the flip side, its larger size also brings more issues as well. North BR is rough, but South BR (especially St. George) outside of a couple of bad pockets is actually pretty nice overall and has some really nice neighborhoods off of the campus lakes and down Highland. I never went to the bad parts of town and never experienced much of those elements associated with it. Oxford definitely feels "safer" and more like a college town, but I think I would've gotten bored after a couple years since I grew up in a larger city.

I haven't gotten the full culinary experience at Oxford yet, but BR is hard to beat in that department. Overall, each place has its different perks and both a really cool schools to attend college. The amount of talent you see walking around on game days at both is unreal.

Three of UGA's worst losses in recent history came from either LSU or Kiffin (LSU-2018, LSU-2019, Ole Miss- 2024).


Now that they've combined forces, it makes some sense I guess.

Classy move.

This program could have completely fallen off the rails following Orgeron (see Auburn or Florida), but overall Kelly kept us in a decent place. It certainly didn't live up to expectations, but the roster is in a much better place now what what he inherited when he took over and I'm grateful for that.

One coached in the SEC, the other wasn't even at the FBS level.

It's a high risk, high reward move. For every success story you mentioned, there's five who didn't work out in this same scenario.
