wringing their collective hands cautiously waiting for football season (only sport anyone REALLY cares about) wondering if they are going to rise up to elite status or continue being a red-headed stepchild to the conference big boys.

I know this whole thread was started by an alter (most likely Stephen), but when someone posts this post, I have to chime in.

The ONLY SEC Football program that is more successful than LSU over the last 25 years is Alabama. That’s it. One

So… if you want to say that LSU is the red headed step child to Bama, sadly, we have to live with that.

But…. LSU isn’t a red headed step child to anyone else in this conference in Football.

Over the last 25 years:

LSU 3 National Championships
5 SEC Championships

Georgia 2 National Championships
5 SEC Championships

He was mostly a great game manager as well.

Just lol!!

Les had his strengths, but game management certainly wasn’t one of them. Lol

This was a well written article. Nice job!

Excellent recruiter except for O-Lineman and QB’s, which I could never understand since he was an ex-O-lineman.

Had tough as nails teams. Very physical. Could just straight up beat most teams physically.

Some of the worst QB play I’ve ever seen once Jimbo’s QB’s graduated.

Stubborn as a mule. Could never learn from prior mistakes. Who lines up and runs the toss dive over and over again against a Bama front of 9 players????

Worst clock management I’ve ever seen by a coach at that level.

247 Talent Composite

Sorry, they are wrong and don’t know shite.

Jacobian Guillory was, by far, our best DT and he was lost for the season 2 weeks before the USC game. The talent level at DT wasn’t even Close to SEC standards.

Our entire secondary was pure trash talent wise. The safeties were the worst, talent wise in over 30 years. The CB’s were beyond weak and not one could have made the two deep for any LSU team from 2001-2019.

You don’t lose Nabers and BTJ at WR and remotely think your WR talent level is even close to really good, much less elite.

Again… we started a walk on at RB.

Sorry… I follow LSU recruiting and our roster very closely. Our talent level, and particularly, on defense was ridiculously poor.

LSU had the 8th most talented roster in the country last year.

By whose logic?

LSU had trash DT’s, trash CBs, & trash safeties. The talent level at those positions, last year, weren’t even close to SEC standards.

Our WR’s & RB’s were barely average. Our best WR was hurt until the 6th game of the season. We started a Walk on RB and a true freshman finally started playing in game 3.

That’s why LSU needs to pay Jay Johnson. Just think what this place would turn into if Aggie hired him next year after they shitcan Earley…

---

Do you even follow LSU baseball? Do you even have a clue about Jay Johnson? He’s never leaving LSU for another college job.

It’s obvious to everyone that winning game one is a huge advantage to whomever wins it.

But…. I remember very well in 2023 when we lost game 2 to #1 Wake Forest, almost everyone thought LSU was dead, because we didn’t have a deep enough, or talented enough pitching staff to come out of the losers bracket. Well…. Our bullpen that struggled all season long came up aces and we made it through and beat Wake twice and got to the CWS Finals.

Skenes pitched the deciding game against Wake, so he was unavailable for the CWS Finals against Florida. Florida had a deep, rested staff, so no one gave us a chance without Skenes.

LSU won the 2023 CWS Title and Skenes never threw a single pitch in the Finals against a significantly better Florida pitching staff.

You’re right. Again, there’s nothing wrong about drawing a fortunate regional and a Super Regional opponent like West Virginia. Not sure why LSU fans are sensitive about undeniable facts being laid out

---

The point is you are constantly singling out LSU.

Georgia got a very favorable draw. Their regional should have been a cake walk and then they would have gotten Murray State in the Supers. But… they couldn’t close the deal.

Texas had a very favorable regional, but couldn’t close the deal.

No Carolina got a favorable draw not having to go up against Oregon. They couldn’t close the deal against Arizona.

I can go on, but I won’t.

You have to beat the teams that you play. West Virginia was just as formidable of an opponent, if not better, as any of the other teams that eliminated other national seeds.

This doesn't have anything to do with his post other than to make you feel better, I guess.

I guess you missed his little rant that went on for 20 pages about LSU.
