July 7th feels random

He also happens to be the position coach for one of the few bright spots on the offense, that includes a former 5star true freshman that has been awesome this year and who LSU cant afford to lose. Hes LSU through and through, the fans love him, and the LA high school coaching community loves him... Why would you not keep him?

The LED Resources plane is the one worth tracking IMO. Headed to CoMo now, and has had some interesting trips recently (Oxford, Nashville, Tuscaloosa, etc)

Can't tell if Charles Landry owns it or just did the legal work for the acquisition, but Landry is really involved with LSU.

Honestly Nic Anderson is probably the odd man out. He and Chris Hilton just dont do much for me.

The WR rotation really needs to be cut down. Aaron Anderson and Barion Brown should hardly ever leave the field. Kyle Parker and Zavion Thomas can do just about everything else. If you need a big body WR then just utilize Treydez.

Truth. Its not just what the OP is referring to. Its the massive tents and parties all over campus. The days of 10x10s with groups of 10-15ppl all over campus are dead. Everything is a massive party. LSU should restrict uhauls or tent sizes.


As for the problem OP mentioned. It is insanity to me that LSU and the city have not prioritized this area for a master plan and development incentives. Having a walkable retail/apartment development just off campus works in basically every other city. Control the uses, but make sure its an opportunity zone, property taxes abatement, tax credits, etc... Or develop a PPP between LSU, the state, and reputable developers that have done this in other cities. If you want a quality area of town you have to make it happen and not just hope it happens. That part of town being an amenity to the city and campus would bring such a better reputation to LSU and the city. People come here for games and have great time and leave with a positive experience.

- More deep balls. Contrary to popular belief they are not necessarily slow developing plays that need time in the pocket. If you can throw slants, you can throw deep balls. I like my odds with Brown and Hilton.

- More downhill running game. Under center and pistol looks. I would love to see the stats on it, but its clearly been the most success we have had running the ball the last 2 years. I want the RBs hitting the hole way quicker.

- More motion during the snap. Almost every play should incorporate some sort of horizontal movement at the snap. When you have speed at wideout and RB like we do, its threatening what they will do with a head start. Not to mention our WR run plays have been really successful and we didnt do any against Florida.

If they oversold parking passes, shame on them. Come clean and admit it.

They've been doing this for a long time. I dont think they are trying to hide it, and frankly its probably a good thing. By the second week it will be fine, by the 3rd week there will be rows of empty parking spaces all day... Your alternative is to build a sea of unused parking or restrict the number of parking passes for people to never be able to buy them. Both are bad options.

If anything they could probably do a better job of trying to notify students at the beginning of the year and encourage carpooling.

I can see it both ways.

On the one hand he took a 1st year starter with turnover problems, and created one of the best offenses in the country statistically. He took a QB who was known to just want to throw deep balls, and turned him into a legitimate pro prospect. With our only deep threat WR hurt most of the year, its remarkable what Nuss was able to do.

On the other hand, finishing last in the SEC in rushing at LSU is a fireable offense, nevermind the fact that he had 4 drafted offensive linemen. You really can't spin that on anything other than coaching, playcalling, and complete lack of creativity in the run game.

So hes a proven great QB coach and developer. Calling plays and developing an offensive identity and scheme is a different skillset. Im not sure he has that skillset. I've chosen to believe he will learn from last year, but if he doesn't then I dont think he is an LSU caliber OC. In that scenario I would love to keep him on as a QB coach, but I understand that's not how this business works.

No mention of Kevin Norwood yet? Dude was the definition of a mediocre SEC WR, maybe even bad. Torched some of our best defenses in crucial moments.

Zippys used to be great. Not because the food was amazing, but because it was a good spot to watch games. Go have some drinks, good vibes, and what felt like bar food mexican if you are hungry.

Then they renovated, and completely ruined it. There is no more vibe anymore, and its so loud in there you can't watch a game. The drinks feel like they are worse, but I'm sure I'm just jaded by what they've done to the place.

Id be curious if I'm alone with that take. We used to go all the time, but I've only been once since they renovated. It used to be a good place to bring kids, but I don't even consider it anymore.
