re: Loser Leave Town Match--Texas A&M vs. LSU
Posted by AG87 on 9/22/26 at 2:44 pm to NaturalStateReb
A&M has taken a step back. No excuses, just facts.
4 O Linemen drafted
3 D Linemen drafted
2 New coordinators
This A&M team hasn't looked great in any game this year.
Both coming off losses. Both will be pissed.
We will see. LSU looks tough.

I'm amazed at the blind loyalty of Kiffin. The guy has coached one game and the fans think he is the next Saban. Kiffin loves this drama and creates it.
History:
TN debacle
USC thought so much of him they fired him at the airport
Saban fired him the week before a national championship game.
Left O Miss while in the playoffs and took coaches with him initially.
Now creating drama at LSU
The guy is a good coach but a jerk and will screw LSU like he has everyone else.
If Saban thought so highly of Kiffin, why wasn't he approached for the Alabama job when Saban retired? Saban knows who he is.

You are correct and well said.
The fact that many of the LSU fans here are ready to go to war over Kiffen is unbelievable! Look at the guys history! He's a good coach but time and time again he has proven he only cares about himself. That guy will leave LSU like he has left everyone else. He has shown no loyalty to anyone other than himself. Show that guy a better deal and he is gone.
Wake up guys! The guy loves drama and will create it any time he can.

re: SEC amends federal lawsuit, seeking authority to expel LSU from the SEC

Texas is a miserable fit for the SEC. You just don't know it yet.
This is the biggest issue. Two kids fighting in a sandbox. The SEC will win the battle but both will lose the war.
LSU is better off in the SEC and the SEC is better off with LSU.
It is down to an ego issue between two children.

There is more going on here than we all know.
LSU hopefully blinks because I am not sure putting the SEC Commissioner on the stand for 3 hours was wise.
LSU may have to pay penance of some sort whether it is a Lane suspension or fine. Whatever the SEC has, they think it is enough for severe consequences.
I hope it doesn't come to expulsion. The SEC is better with LSU than without and LSU is crazy to think they can go independent. What happens when Lane leaves (and he will)? LSU is a big brand but they are no Notre Dame.

He is now a good quarterback getting better every year while getting better throughout every season. Too much hype.
It is interesting Sark said in an earlier press conference that he wouldn't be surprised to see him come back another year after this year. Made me think there may still be some work needed.

I saw him at a motivational speech in LA in the late 90's and he was by far the best speaker. A class act.
College football lost a treasure.
RIP.

Agree that the Ags have underperformed for years.
Aggies have not had a coach that builds a program since Sherrill. There is a long list of coaches between Sherrill and Elko. We will see what Elko can do.
There was also an interesting article last year about how the current AD positions himself between big money donors and Elko (running interference) so that may have been a big issue in the past.
Time will tell.

Nil has destroyed everything I loved about cf. i realize some fans love it but I am not one of them.
I shite on Sark a lot here but the truth is that I really no longer care who coaches us or how many games we win. I will still watch the games when I have nothing better to do but I will try find better things to do on Saturdays this fall.

I think you are an early adapter. I'm not there yet but will soon be unless somehow this gets under control. The portal is a huge issue. Once the players start acting like employees and not college students is when this will unravel. The fans will leave and so will the money.
College football will go the way of NASCAR as they leave their roots behind.

The Portal is the biggest issue with NIL being a close second. Private Equity will just make it worse. All they care about is profit.
Why do we watch college football/sports?
Traditions
Rivalry
Pageantry
Watching kids develop
Pulling for "your" team. Loyalty.
This is all being torn down by the portal and NIL.
Players are now hired guns with no allegiance. Transfer at will.
How can players understand or care about traditions in one year?
A rivalry game is just another game.
Kids transfer at will so you don't have a "next year"....
Your team today isn't the same team next year.
Football schemes will be dumbed down because players can't learn a new system in months.
Once the players start communicating this is a business relationship to the fans, it will become tough to support the teams as we do today. Wait until you hear a player opting out regular season games because they are transferring.
I hope it doesn't but I believe it will happen.

Yes. I think they are that far apart.
IMO there is Saban, and maybe a handful of others that are getting there, who can win consistently and all the others that have to catch lightening in a bottle with a great player.
Dabo - Lawrence
Jimbo - Winston
Meyer - Tebow
Coon A$$ - Burrow
Mack Brown - Young
Kirby, Day, and maybe Cignetti may be getting there.

Not yet but close.
The portal is primarily killing everything that makes college football great.
Rivalries, tradition, pride in a school, watching kids develop, thinking your school has a really good class of recruits turning into juniors that have experience, is all going away primarily due to the portal.
Hell, no one on this board can say "next year should be pretty good" because no one knows who's playing!
These kids who are portal seniors chasing money don't have the 3-4 past years of history with rivalries may not care as much and it MAY get to the point where it doesn't matter. They certainly won't learn (and appreciate) traditions in a year.
When the fans sense this, I think overall support could fall.

re: Biggest douchebag - Texas or the Dame?
Posted by AG87 on 12/12/25 at 9:43 am to deltadummy
From a fan base perspective, Texas T shirt fans are the worst and there isn't anyone close. There were also multiple instances at the stadium where the TU faithful showed there arse at the A&M game. It was beyond bad.
ND, as an administration, really stepped in it by opting out. That is about as bad a look as anyone can have. I wonder if Freeman is leaving for the NFL and pushed for this to get to NY as soon as possible?

Ole Miss has no leverage. What are they going to do? If they fire him and pay him off, he leaves for sure. He has all the options.
In the meantime, he is going to upset a lot of people after this is over. Two fan bases are going to be really pissed.
He has done a great job at Ole Miss. Is he the best coach in college football? Not right now he’s not.

To answer your question, no.
When will the public begin to understand that these generational salaries being paid to coaches are public money meaning belonging to the state. Quite frankly, this has been out of control for years and sooner or later the public will figure it out.

3 O-line players drafted and poor portal choices.
As for Arch, I wonder how much pressure was on the coaches to play him by the big donors that paid $6M a year for him.... Sark, and his coaching staff, may have not had much of a choice to play him over Ewers.
Note: Sark and those coaches may have been pushing the decision to pay Arch $6M also.....

He might be a decent guy outside of football but he acted like a complete tool last weekend.
I am giving him the benefit of the doubt after seeing him walk off the field with his daughter Saturday.

This is a good observation.
Of course if you enter the meat grinder, sign the right contract and fail, you walk away with generational money and your grand kids won't have to work.

re: If you are a coach and your only goal is a NC, do you choose LSU, UF, or Texas?
Posted by AG87 on 11/18/25 at 7:52 am to FireDanMullen
I think Texas has too many cooks in the kitchen trying to make the meal. Look at the decision to start Archie versus Ewers this year. There is no way that team is as bad with Ewers. Donors have too much control at Texas.
LSU has had more recent success winning championships but look at where they are now and how they are treating their last coach.
FL had some success with Spurrier and with Meyer but they are going through coaches every three years.
I have no idea where I'd go.
