re: Curt Cignetti ruined college football for everyone

Yes Cignetti did a good job, but have you looked at their schedule? Tell me that any 2 loss SEC team couldn’t cake walk that schedule.

Not sure where y’all work, but before I retired we had a 6 month rule for blaming the predecessor. After that you have to own it. So are y’all seriously going to blame O for what happened on Saturday? Leaving the roster in shambles 5 years ago has little to do with the HC making multiple questionable decisions that took us completely out of the game.

re: What would you grade Year 1 with Kiffin so far?

C-
I would have said higher, but the Kentucky last drive and OT were bad as was the end of the Bama game. Those two loses really hurt Kiffin’s credibility.

The area north of campus has been bad for decades. Its a big campus with a partying reputation. There’s going to be a lot of rowdy behavior. The Greek Theater always smelled like weed 50 years ago, so its not like weed on campus is a new thing.

I can always tell who is going to get the benefit of the calls in a game by watching how the ball is spotted on the first few plays. Let’s say the runner goes down at the 25 and bounces or slides to the 26. That ball can be spotted anywhere from the 24 to the 26 depending on the bias of the crew. Now multiply that out by 65-70 plays in a game and its easy to see how a tean could give “given” nearly 100 extra yards in a game just by the spotting on the ball.
There are famous videos of SEC refs looking the sticks and moving the spot of the ball.

re: Make no mistake, Auburn is going to be a tough game

Auburn/LSU has almost always been a war. There are a few exceptions like the cigar game where the blew us out or the 2011 game where we blew them out.

Most teams run a nickel base to get more speed on the field or to get their best 11 out there. It also gives you a safety/DB in coverage instead of a LB for teams that throw to the TEs a lot, or if they use motion/formation to get a slot WR on a LB.

The issue with teams going heavy and running on our base nickel is that I don’t know who we would use as the 3rd LB to play a 4-3 in obvious run downs against Auburn. Who would come off the field out of the back 5?
re: The “Up The Middle” Defensive Issues

Yes - the nickel is a 4-2-5.

What I saw was a light box with 5 or 6. Basically we’re in a nickel base. You’re going to give up some yards like that unless you bring another hat in the box.
re: Why are you mad about a 24-team playoff?
Posted by Old Katy Tiger on 10/16/26 at 11:11 pm to tWatsonTiger
How does a 24 team playoff not devalue the regular season and the conference title games?
SEC should go back to 8 conference games with 4 patsies, cancel the SECCG, and stack the 24 team field every year.

re: What are your feelings about the game tomorrow? How will it play out in your mind?

I agree that the refs will keep the game close. If its close late anything could happen.
re: Blake Baker: A Product of Tiger Stadium?
Posted by Old Katy Tiger on 10/16/26 at 9:52 pm to Madking
Watching that Sky Eye View of the defense against Kentucky that Hester and Flynn showed was really bad. The defense was very poorly prepared for Kentucky and seemed even by the end of the game to still not really know who was supposed to cover who. Really pathetic.
re: Baker will never outlive that final play
Posted by Old Katy Tiger on 10/12/26 at 3:31 pm to Jabontik
I agree that a lot of people have already written Baker off for that. You could also add the end of halves and the lousy prevent D.
re: Over the next three weeks, you are going to forget what Baker did to you. Don’t.
Posted by Old Katy Tiger on 10/12/26 at 9:56 am to QB
How can we forget Baker at the end of halves or when the game is tight? He’s given the fans no reason to be confident.
re: I guess we don’t have to worry about Baker leaving us at the end of the year

Its not just the 2 point conversion. Its the whole defensive scheme when the game is on the line. Its way to passive and whoever is teaching the 7-8 man zones needs some serious help.
re: How tense do you think the operations building is this week?
Posted by Old Katy Tiger on 10/12/26 at 9:31 am to Olric
I hope things are tense. They need to get some things fixed.
re: The 2pt conversion is worse from this angle
Posted by Old Katy Tiger on 10/12/26 at 9:17 am to Salmon
I’m sorry, but this is Baker’s job to insure the players know where to be even if the scheme is absurd. This is just all around bad. It looks like it was designed by someone who has never seen a college football game.
re: Stuck with Baker

I don’t know if they fire him this year. If the trend continues with the defense not be prepared to play early in big games and the absurd prevent and goal line calls, the calls to replace him will get loud.
That prevent scheme looks ridiculous. Rush 3/4 drop 7/8 in a soft zone and don’t cover anyone. Just let them catch the ball then throw in some sloppy tackling for extra yards. BB has been bad at this since he’s been here. Surely only one of the defensive analysts can come up with a better idea and help Baker out.
