Bingo! I totally agree. We're LSU and we're giving this OL a police escort around town like he's the president of the US and he doesn't give two shits about LSU.

I don't understand how LSU fans are getting excited about signing players that don't give a shite about LSU. Those three letters mean something to me and thousands of other fans because we were born and raised on LSU sports.

So LSU goes on to win a NC with a group of players that don't care about LSU and its history and tradition and then bolts to the next team for another check and you're okay with that?

Who?

I know the game in Oxford is still a ways away, but I'm not sure it's going to be safe to attend the game if things don't settle down. With the recent haul of OM players transferring to LSU this week, to say OM fans and coaches are raging, would be a massive understatement.

This situation has become personal, and when that happens, crazy people lose perspective and take things to another level. I'm sure LSU has additional additional security around Kiffin and he will well protected come game time, but my concern is with the fans.

The relationship between LSU and OM fans has never been great, but when you add the Kiffin situation (his texting, alleged tampering and stealing OM players) and you bring two of the most passionate fans bases, who love their alcohol and guns, things could get ugly real fast.

I'm hoping in the next few months that the anger and bitterness will wane and we will get to see two great teams settle it on the field, but something tells me that ain't happening, especially this year.

I also have a feeling that Kiffin is sitting his office, along with his assistants, smoking a big Cuban cigar and loving every minute of it!

Indiana - a real team!

Will you be excited for that player if we are playing for a championship?

So you don't care who plays for LSU, if they can get LSU to a championship game or win a NC?

You are definitely not a true LSU fan, because if you were, you would only want players that love LSU and take great pride in wearing the purple and gold.

Go ahead and cheer for those players but understand they don't care about LSU or its fans - and that includes YOU!

Do you want good players or do you want the best players?

I want players that want to be at LSU and are proud to wear the jersey. Recently, I saw a clip of Tyrann Mathieu talking about his time at LSU and what an honor it was to wear that jersey and play in front of a sold out Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night.

That's the type of player I want playing for LSU.

Call me old fashion, but I would rather sign a 2/3 star player that loves LSU, understands the history of LSU/Tiger Stadium, the passion of the fans, the amazing tailgating and considers it an honor to wear that jersey every Saturday and are not there just for paycheck.

As a young child growing up in south Louisiana, LSU was embedded into me at a young age and those three letters meant something. I can still recall going to games in Tiger Stadium and being a part of the most passionate fanbase in CFB or having family get togethers to fellowship and watch the LSU game.

Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm just having a hard time cheering for LSU when you know a majority of the players couldn't care less about LSU and are just using LSU for a paycheck.

Several powerful boosters for teams around the country are not fans of the one-year rental player program and thought their money would attract talent and help build long term success. According to CBS sports and SI, boosters are strongly considering pulling back their NIL money because players are simply using them for a quick payday and the following year are off to another program.

According to several boosters, they were thinking NIL would help build success on the football field, and in return, the players would want to stay to be a part of something special. Based on what is happening, NIL money has not improved success on the football field and players have shown absolutely no loyalty and are just chasing the money.

I guess we all knew something had to change, but the problem now is, how do you fix it or is it even fixable?

Miami is very good, but Indiana has that "it" factor. They're the team that everyone thought would eventually lose and fall back to reality, but that has only motivated this team to prove everyone wrong.

Since the star rating began, has there ever been a team that has won the NC with zero 5 stars, gone 16-0 and beaten 13 out it's 16 opponents by double digits?

Say what you want, but that's very impressive!

Every blue moon, you have that one team that the stars align and they get on a mission and nothing is going to stop them. Nobody in their right mind, even Indiana fans, saw this coming and it's impressive. Probably one of the most impressive accomplishments is the number of big time teams they have beaten - Oregon (twice and both on the road and outscored the Ducks 86-42), beat Alabama by 5 TDs and edged defending NC Ohio State 13-10.

IMO, the most impressive stat is Indiana accomplished all this with ZERO 5 STARS!

'Canes need to enjoy all the pre-game festivities because come game time, the fun stops!

Hoosiers by 28 in NC game!

I see DeBoer just hired Womack's buddy from South Alabama, where he coached previously. South Alabama's defense ranked 10th out of 14 teams in the Sun Belt! Maybe that explains why Alabama just lost by 35 point to Indiana!

Hiring family and friends is never a good move, but DeBoer (after losing by 35) said in his post game interview that Alabama is so close to being where they want to be. I'm not making that up! He really said that!
