The smoke from practice on the guy was that he was the next big thing. Yet he couldn't get on the field before Nic Anderson, Chris Hilton, or Destyn Hill. So idk how to feel about this

Agree. The pitches are completely different.

You can go to Tech, go undefeated in a schedule fit for noon on ESPN2 or you can play in a bunch of prime time ABC games that you may win or lose.
If the season goes as we hope, could be just the 3rd or 4th best atmosphere of the season.
On a crucial 3rd down he came on a free rush at the QB. I've seen that play 100 times, and it feels like 90 of those times they whiff and the QB no longer has any pressure and easily converts.

It was so refreshing to see him throttle down and contain, forcing an incomplete on rather than go for the blow up hit
Sharp has been worthless all year. The dumb play he had last yeat against us while playing for Oklahoma should have been all we needed to not consider him. He is a TE who just turns the ball over, makes dumb plays, cant block, and isn't a game changing receiver. He adds no value to the team. Idk how much hes being paid but its too much.

The guys playing have had a ton of run all year outside of Singleton and Gilbert. And Gilbert started all last year.

Let us know what you end up doing. Interested to hear an outsider perspective.

Campus is unique. Its not the usual nice brick buildings you see around the southeast, it has the charm of live oaks and spanish architecture. I'd walk around the quad, down the hill to Mike's habitat, back up Dalrymple to go to The Chimes. Get some cheese fries and/or the spinach and artichoke dip, a local beer, and the BBQ shrimp poboy.

Evening id consider going downtown to see the river, the old state capitol, or mahbe even a Zydeco game if they are playing. Id have dinner at Elsies on Govt St. You could also drive down Perkins from City Park to Parrains if you want to see more of the city. That area is cool, the Garden District that turns into the Perkins Overpass.

Depends what your kids are into, but if you have a few hours to kill and want to be outside you can either walk the LSU lakes or play 9 holes at City Park. Its a classic muni golf course, very cheap and the guys that run it are super chill. Its got some pretty rich history though and hole #4 is a really cool view of the lakes. Can basically play the whole course with a driver, wedge, and putter.
All of these things mentioned, but in summary:

- They have 2 dominant DEs, better than LSUs. They get pressure while maintaining pass rusher lanes and not allowing Reed to escape as often.

- LSU plays alot of man coverage given the strength at corner. Leads itself to long runs when we lose contain

- Reed did get loose a decent amount in the 1st half against them. They just sacked him a bunch, which LSU did not. Primarily due to the first point.

- 30mph winds are a QB and kickers worst nightmare, so that certainly helped the defenses.

- Craver was limited
Alot of orange in the lower bowl

re: Next year WR starters for us

If only Hilton had one more year. Next year was definitely gonna be the year he put it all together.
5 and 9 are special. Just like 20. If you win a heisman I am fine with your number being retired.

7 and 18 need a complete overhaul. I'd give them back to the players to pass down if they choose.

Honestly not meant as a dig, but i am surprised that LSU has only been 7 times in 33 years.


Nick Saban Bama existed. Beat us every year making it very tough to get in. The east was more open pre-Kirby.

Its not that we've been bad we just haven't been able to beat Saban.
I'd agree if he were gonna be OC or HC, but hes not. The RBs didnt underperform with what they were given.
Had a Teams meeting for work on Friday with a South Carolina fan. He asked how things were going and I made some jokes about LSU message boards going crazy about some planes going to Oxford and Gaunesville...

Midway through the meeting I was sharing my screen and minimized what I was showing him. My Flightaware page was open. He just started cracking up. Probably realized I was one of the crazy people I was joking about.
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?
Im sure ill get down voted to oblivion, but i think in time it will be proven that Davis is not the problem. I will maintain he is a good coach.

The story of this O-Line will be injuries, inexperience, literally no vertical threat to prevent safeties from crashing, and an immobile QB for most of the season.

They aren't good, but the scheme is overarching the major issue. This same O-Line will be dominant under Kiffin and it wont be due to the O-Line coach

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.
