This loss was squarely on Baker in his 3rd season who got absolutely torched by a half ret@rd who's never been a head coach and a guy in his 3rd game as OC at OM. If I were the boss, he would have some extremely uncomfortable questions to answer about that blundering performance. He only gave up 24 last year to Kiffin/Weiss and that was with them having full continuity of staff/roster.

The offense played well enough to win the game with just mediocre defense. The misplaced criticism on this board is astonishing. This was 2023 all over again. The defense stopped basically nothing. What stopped OM were their own mistakes. OM fans all around me were complaining about Chambliss' passing, with good reason. He was inconsistent at best.

When we needed a stop, the defense let OM drive the length of the field in crunch time, execute a QB keeper that everybody in the stadium could see coming a mile away, score a TD, didn't even hold them to a FG, offsides on 2 point, offsides again, gave up the 2 points to add insult to injury. Totally pathetic effort. 24 points in the first half. They weren't tough enough and they weren't disciplined enough. Unacceptable.

And for people complaining about the offense, we've seen 3 weeks in a row now where the offense made halftime adjustments that paid off. Now we don't know if we can count on the defense in crunch time for the rest of the season. Hoping this was an isolated incident.

Wow. Gunner is an efficient game manager but has about half the talent that Leavitt does.

Better than your guy for sure

You think "Gunner" is better than Leavitt. Delusional

quote:

Then why did Lane not add them to the roster?

---

Because the CFP ramifications are still up in the air. They have not been clearly named in the TROs. There was no need to risk that at the time over a mere 2 players who aren't going to make or break LSUs season. But it had nothing to do with the SEC due to the TRO

You said people wanted to see the "best of the best" and implied that was why the college game was where it is at. I was pointing out that is foolish. The best of the best always have and always will play on Sunday (and Monday nights). People watch college for very different reasons and if you want to take those reasons away and go toe to toe with the NFL College ball becomes a far less compelling product than even minor league baseball.

I meant the best of the best at the college level halfwit. What is wrong with you

I want you in Atlanta so Kirby and Gunner can shred you

Gunner. :rotflmao:

Guess whose defensive coordinator didn't give up 30 points to Kiffin/Weiss. lol

You might want to focus on beating GA tech this year

quote:

---

Umm, that is the problem. The "Best of the Best" play on Sunday and it isn't even close

---

I don't understand the relevance of this comment

quote:

---

So are you saying Lane is not a guy that attracts attention and controversy? You knew what you were getting. You got it and now you want to play victim

---

You predictably did not answer the question. What did Kiffin do wrong. List the bullet points

quote:

---

.a means to show LSU that the rest of the conference saw their conduct outside of the norms of what is expected of member institutions

---

Oh yeah because the conference has been made up of choirboys over the last 3 decades. What a joke

don't be shocked when said lightning rod attracts lightning.

What did he do wrong? Lay it all out point by point
