I trust Weiss & Kiffin can help Leavitt read defenses better each week. He missed some wide open check downs. He was under so much pressure he was very quick to run & poor mechanics caused him to miss throws.

I agree LT we will be just fine.

I was not surprised Chambliss was better than Leavitt, but was surprised that our OL/DL lost the LOS most of the game. Our tackling wasn’t the best last night.

Biggest concern is Trey Dez Green & his injury. It looked bad. We also need a #2 RB to give Jones a break.
That’s how I read it too. This only for this football season.
ESPN doesn't make the decisions.

Sankey and the SEC would have a lot to answer for treating not rostering and not playing by Kiffin worse that what Nate Oates did last year actually playing a NBA G-league player for 5 games. Not only rostered, but rostered AND played him in 5 games.

Selective enforcement is not a good look for Sankey and the SEC. Sankey isn't doing himself any favors these days.

If Vegas had odds, I’d bet he will resign, but in reality it will be a firing.

My guess is when the presidents of the universities meet this week, they will quickly come to that conclusion that Sankey needs to go; not LSU.

I don’t know the finer points of sec expulsion procedure, but there would be lots of damages in a suit against the SEC.

You don't need to be an attorney to know that expulsion from the SEC is not up to Sankey. He works on behalf of the presidents of the universities, who ultimately are the decision makers. Per SEC Bylaws, it takes 2/3 of those presidents to vote on expelling LSU. that could happen independently of the lawsuits. I don't expect that to happen.

Motion to remove Sankey

I second your motion.

Sankey will leave the SEC before LSU does.
~8 months ago, former NBA G-League player, Charles Bediako, played 5 basketball games for Alabama. Greg Sankey opposed it, but Bama played him anyway. Neither Bama nor Nate Oates faced ANY punishment from the SEC. Certainly no threat of getting kicked out of the conference.
And where were these “sophisticated people” when Bama played a G-League player last season? He actually played in games.
The RB from the Seahawks wants to go back to Oregon State, but they are watching our lawsuit before adding him back.
Diego Pavia. He sued the NCAA last year & got a 5th year. That started all this mess. Then, NCAA changed their 5 to play 4 rule to be 5 to play 5 & did it after some players had declared for the draft & gotten invites to training camp post rookie mini camp.

There’s plenty of blame to go around.
The 1st series Clemson has the ball, our D will force a turnover & Death Valley will erupt. Our O will have a short field.
How does Brian Kelly get a pass here? This is his mess if his staff promises JD5 no one will wear it, while simultaneously offering one of our top recruits to wear it. It really shouldn’t be a big deal.

You are not wrong. It's weird.

This kid is a "Dude". Watched him in HS and saw him hit a bomb off UCLA in Seattle.
Building on what you put together....

from 1986-2026

Last 40 Years - .875 and 4.02 (40-yr avg)
CWS Nat'l Title - .955 and 4.02 (8 CWS champs)
CWS (No Title) - .914 and 3.81 (made CWS)
NCAA Tournament - .852 and 4.18 (made a regional or super regional)
No Tournament - .802 and 4.32 (did not make NCAA tournament)
2026 season - .880 and 5.69

our ERA of 5.69 sticks out. it's our worst in 40 years. in 2010, our team ERA was 5.56 and we lost in the regionals with a 41-22 record. We've only had 5 seasons in 40 years with a +5.00 ERA.

this 2026 team is on par with 2007
2007 season - .710 and 5.10 with a record of 29-26-1

Hitting under Paul Mainieri was below avg for the last 40 years, and Jay has mostly improved this. However, Mainieri's pitching was better with some exceptional seasons, and that's where we need to improve.

Mainieri - .812 and 3.88 (2007-21)
JJ - .920 and 4.51 (2022-26)

I really don't understand how you split hairs on recruiting professionals from overseas vs NBA, G-League professionals.
What would stop Jay from adding a foreign baseball player?
I agree. Short answer. We lost our top SP to MLB Draft & didn’t have 3 solid SP to keep it rolling. And misses on defensive evaluations. I trust Jay sees even more of the why, including early season scheduling & it will get fixed. We don’t have to like it. 2 things can be true at the same time.
Wade's immediate priority is assembling his 1st class. However, when that's mostly complete, we might consider offering this kid. JJ is one of the best freshman HS players this past season. I saw JJ play several times and he's as good as advertised. Son of Jamal Crawford.

I think it’s a combination of both depending on the season. Jay knows he needs to be adaptable.
And I recall him saying something along those lines. I expect Jay to tweak his approach to roster construction. Onwards. Upwards.
