True road games vs ranked: 2-19, and 1-9 against AP Top 10 teams on the road (per Fox’s The Triple Option, Sept. 23). The Kentucky loss was to an unranked team, so this stays 2-19.

Great stat and not surprising! Kiffin is the master at finding desperate programs and milking them for every penny!

Some of you need to lay off the Kiffin Kool-aid because the buck begins and ends with him and he was the one that decided to keep Baker, who has been more below average than average since he arrived at LSU!

The only one to blame is Kiffin, period! Yes, Kiffin, the coach who has already lost two games to two first-year HCs, who have a combined 11 games as a HC at any level.

We’re six games into year one.

With NIL, it's year one every year! It's called the transfer portal and it seems to be very popular thing among players! LSU just spend 40M plus and will do it again next year, as will all the other big boys!

quote:

---

You're pretty dumb, yeah?

---

Oh really? Who's snapshot has someone drinking Kool-Aid?

That would be you dumb arse!

I know the homers will come out and say he's the greatest thing since slice bread but let's look at the facts!

He's lost to two first year head coaches, which includes a team he coached last year and raided half of their coaching staff and took their two best defensive players and top freshman WR!

He took over a roster that had plenty of talent and landed the No. 1 portal class in the country and spent more than $40M in NIL!

LSU should have mopped the floor with OM and Kentucky just based on talent alone! Instead, two brand new HCs took him to the woodshed.

LSU has 4-2 record that includes wins over a very weak Clemson and Texas A&M team, struggled against La. Tech in the first half and has one big win over FCS McNeese State!

That was the easy part of our schedule! Four of the remaining six games are against ranked teams, including No. 6 Alabama and No. 7 Texas!

The facts don't lie: Kiffin has failed to lead ONE team to a conference championship game, much less win a conference championship, in his time as HC at Tennessee, USC and Ole Miss. Kiffin's reputation is he will win a lot of games, but he doesn't know how to win the big ones and he's showing that now!

LSU gave Kiffin a monster contract and one of the largest NIL budgets in the country and LSU now sits in 11th place.

You homers keep drinking the Kool-aid but the facts speak for themselves.

LSU thought they were purchasing a Lamborghini in Kiffin, but have since found out they've spent a boat load of money on a 1970 Pinto on blocks located somewhere in the woods of Mississippi!

I'm located about an hour north of Mobile, Alabama. The plan is to put a pergola over half of it, so I can watch some games and enjoy the outside and the other half have a grill and some storage, but I'm not doing that until this summer.

Some people are saying wire mesh or rebar. Is one much better than the other?

What do I need to ask to try and avoid getting a bad concrete guy? Also, is payment done after the job or some money up front?

How long should I expect it to take from start to finish?

TIA

We have a solid defense, but we're not elite by any means. The problem is finding an elite offense or defense is quickly becoming a thing of the past. With NIL, the players with good seasons are going to the highest bidder, which means teams are going to have to rebuild every year.

Kentucky will score some points and they've shown the ability to score a lot of points, averaging almost 35 points a game. I don't think they will score that many on Saturday, but weather could be a huge deciding factor. It looks like rain and strong winds, not to mention Weeks and Dez Green are both out.

I think it's going to be a very close game.

It doesn't change Ole Miss took us to the woodshed. They were the better team.

I totally agree. I love LSU, but the reality is Kiffin got outcoached by a former assistant that was coaching only his third game as a HC on any level. Not to mention, no one knew OM better than Kiffin and he even took their top 2 defensive players and still loss.

quote:

---

Well then why do you have them on top? And another thing. Where's Kentucky?

---

I put Georgia first because they have a wealth of talent, veteran coaching staff, have won every game pretty convincing, but haven't played a really tough opponent yet.

Also, it also shows that this could be down year for the SEC because there is no dominant team like an Alabama or Georgia that's just strikes fear into opponents. It clearly a sign of how the TP/NIL have changed the landscape of college football.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Georgia lose a couple of games or win the SEC and make a good run in the playoffs if things fall their way. Dominant teams are quickly becoming a thing of the pass and it just shows how fragile rankings can be because the talent is so spread out.

Why isn't Kentucky ranked in my top 5? They just lost to Alabama last week by four TDs!

I expect you carry yourself every day with perfection and immediate results.

Kiffin is getting paid 13M+ with more than 40M in NIL, so yes, I expect him to beat his former team, especially when he took a large portion of the coaching and support staff with him, along with two of OM's best defensive players, their top young receiver and an OL!

Like I said when he was hired, Kiffin will win LSU a lot of games, but he doesn't know how to win the big ones. Name one conference championship he's won during his tenure as HC at UT, USC and Ole Miss. Name one team he's led to a conference championship game. I'll save you some time...NONE!

Don't bring up what he did last year, because if you remember, he abandoned that team.

Quit making excuses for Kiffin! The reality is he got out-coached by a previous assistant, who was just in his third game as a HC at any level.
