You had a Cuban on a majority white team whose best two players are Venezuelan and Puerto Rican mocking a Japanese guy whose manager is half black, half Japanese and whose best hitter looks like Erik the Red.

I don't think diversity was the problem here!

He had a #1 overall pick at QB the only 10+ win season he had at Stanford. I wouldn't really call that sustainable.

I went to the game last night and stayed until the end. I've been going to home games since the late 1980's. I left feeling sad about what has become of the LSU Football home game experience. Yes, it has been dropping for a while now but I couldn't believe how pitiful it was last night. It felt more like a glorified scrimmage or a spring game than a night game against a Power 5 opponent.

We can all sit here and gripe about how much the atmosphere has fallen off since games like 1998 Florida, 2000 Tennessee, or 2003 Georgia.

But if you were in charge, what 5 things would you do to fix it? Obviously college football attendance is down across the country as people decide to stay home & watch on their flat screen tv's.

But there are things LSU can do to improve the fan experience. It doesn't have to be this bad.

Parking, traffic, piped-in music, lack of highlights from other games across the country, the constant barrage of corporate sponsors, the nickel-and-diming the average fan...these are the most frequent comments I hear, and all of them are legit.

Maybe if someone came up with a few things the fans want and pushed for it, the next AD would listen after they fire Joe.

There is a chance that none of these 3 teams' HC make it to November.

Need 6 more to sign up

Yep

S&P had our 2008 defense as #1. Before anyone says we didn't play anyone, S&P takes into account strength of opponent. Our 2008 defense was loaded. better than our 2009/2010 defenses that played in BCS games... I think out of our starting 11, 7 guys got drafted at some point, including all 3 of our linebackers who each had decent NFL careers. Gave up only 14 against Toby Gerhardt & Harbaugh's Stanford, 7 against a BYU team that had a good defense and scored 59 on UCLA, 13 against the 13-0 Utah team that crushed Alabama, 16 against an undefeated Boise State team. We did allow 35 to Oklahoma, who statistically had the best offense in NCAA history that year, but that was well below their season average at home and Stoops himself admitted after the game they got lucky on a couple of their TDs.

2009 and 2010 we dropped to 2nd in defensive S&P.

Ok, so it is possible to field a college defense in Texas. Just seems like the last 2-3 years there's been no D there whatsoever, which is weird for a state with such a proud HS football tradition.

It's embarrassing. Is the athleticism of Texas HS football overrated? I know the state produces big dudes & QB's but damn they can't play defense over there.

So no running 10yd stop routes all game, all out blitz on D, or throwing deep every play? I don't run those but have played against ppl that do.

Yeah, we'll take it on a case by case basis. But hopefully we'll avoid the BS.

Also what are coaching levels going start at and how fast will they be able to develop?

---

Coaching levels will start at 1 and they will be set to slowest to develop. That way, coaching levels have the least amount of impact on games, and actual gameplay/strategy/recruiting will be the main factors.

Lol. The dynasty servers still work fine and online plays beautifully since there's less congestion.
