I asked ChatGPT to predict neutral site lines for LSU vs the top14. We’d be favored in 9 of the matchups. Poll are ridiculous. Hopefully the CFP rankings are more in line.

Even if we beat Bama they will say it was a 2 loss Bama so not impressed. And then even if we beat Texas they’ll say it was a 2 loss Texas team, not impressed. Same with Tennessee.

Sir, after they run into us, they’ll all be 3-loss teams.

The only thing I did was change LSU to win out and that only took changing one game - at Tennessee.

With that, we are tied with Ole Miss, Tennessee and Georgia, but we would be top two because we will have beaten Auburn and Texas, who beat Tenn and Georgia.

We'd get an SEC CG rematch with Ole Miss.

BRING IT ON

Obviously not. I’m just curious.

We really should try Bryan Sparacino. I think he has true potential.

2011 (Jan 2012) is the obvious choice.

But I feel like the 2012 Alabama game is what broke Les Miles, pushed us to second-best program in the SEC (& nation) and cemented Alabama's program as best.

Remember, we had won the NC in 2007, and played for it in 2011. Alabama had won 2009 and 2011.

Les Miles' record against Alabama prior to that game was 5-3.

Win it, and easy to see we win the national championship in 2012 and Les' record vs Alabama goes to 6-3. At worst, we remain on equal footing with Alabama going forward.

Instead, in the timeline we are living, Miles would never beat Alabama again, losing the last 5. He would never finish higher that 12th in the polls thereafter.

NOT TO MENTION, this was the same year in which we blew the Peach Bowl vs. Clemson, essentially ceding our national position to them in the process.

So yeah, even as bad as Jan 2012 was, Nov 2012 was the death of Les Miles' LSU program.

I mean, what do you want him to do? He got fired. It still sucks. He was just making light of things. He said he didn't meet expectations and he understood the expectations and LSU's decision. He said he did as much as he could do and it was time for someone else to take over. I agreed with everything he said.

---

I would very much like him to show remorse in having failed at his job, not laugh off his dereliction of duty, when as a native Louisianan he should know how much LSU football means. Have an ounce of class, and maybe apologize for his shortcoming.

But that’s just me. No, wait, that is the vast majority of LSU fans and alumni.

He didn't betray LSU and has only spoken highly of the university. Quit being a pussy.

---

The line that comes to mind is “what you’re doing speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you’re saying.” His words are meaningless.

No, his betrayal was twofold

1) did not give his best effort to the job after the 2019 season.

2) worse, he laughs about receiving notice of the firing and buyout, painting it as though he was “winning” in this situation.

He has no place here. The end.

We do not

Whoever is donating it should instead be doing public works projects with the money, revitalizing neighborhoods and selling the homes cheaply to hardworking young families, sponsoring families, etc Now downvote away.

This is a false dichotomy. If they wanted to do that, they would be doing so as well. And no longer donating to LSU football would usually mean that those rich people have more money for themselves - not more money to give away.
