Anyone out there ever gone thru a "change in regime" - at any level
Posted by DrD on 11/7/25 at 4:56 pm
I went thru it my senior year (not during the season) in HS and it was definitely different - sort of refreshing but at the same time emotionally challenging. OUR coach had been there for a couple of decades. Anyway ...... not sure how our Tigers are going to respond.... Our SENIOR laden HS team (ENSMIMGER was a big part of that) picked up the slack and tried to lead by example. We were in the hunt for a district championship right up until the final week of the season. We caught a bit of the flu that last week in bball season but other than that I think we did quite well. NO REGRETS! That was 50 years ago. Still remember it like yesterday. Here's to a TEAM effort on Sat. night against the mighty Crimson Tide! Geaux Tigers! :geauxtigers: :cheers: :geauxtigers:

Offensive line 2024 vs 2025 - from passing team to running team
Posted by DrD on 11/3/25 at 7:49 am
Tigers could NOT run very well last season but they sure could pass the football. Having all those veteran (and now professional) guys on the front line was much better than above average - similar to AtM in 2025.
This year is a work-in-progress w all the new guys and transfers. Kelly knew going into the season this was going to be his achilles heel especially w a non-running QB. It cost him his job by not changing out QB's or philosophy when it was apparent that pass blocking was not happening. We should be running the football. Having a running QB would help. Otherwise - we won't beat Ala. or Ok. or Ark. Nuss can contribute if he's healthy but at this point I'm changing my entire offensive philosophy. We still have speedsters that can get behind the defense when needed. RUN THE FOOTBALL! Let it happen.

How About a WIN on Saturday!
Posted by DrD on 10/23/25 at 7:03 pm
Al Davis said it best "Just WIN Baby." Well our Tigers have missed out on the "W" party twice already this season. I for one am cautiously optimistic about the Tigers finally putting it all together and playing a "complimentary" game as Kelly likes to call it. I'm all for it!
Both "L"'s have been heartbreaking to say the least. There were chances in both games against 2 very, very good SEC teams. We'll see another one Sat. night I'm sure. However, LSU gets their act together and plays solid in all phases and I feel good about our chances. Trying to keep the ship from sinking..... Let it happen.....

I disagree about Hilton. With our stingy defense a bomb for TD at any point in time could be difference maker in close game. Davis at right tackle is a work in progress. He made some nice blocks late in game. Maybe he can build on that moving forward. Red zone offense near goal line needs some much needed creativity. Get a mobile QB or have Jujuan Johnson in wildcat. Got to score TD's in RED zone to win BIG time games. The offense gets their act together moving forward Tigers are going to be fun to watch in all phases of the game. Let it happen! Just WIN Baby!
Geaux Tigers!

Should Weeks have been hit w targeting call again late in game?
Posted by DrD on 10/13/25 at 8:06 am
Game was essentially over but it seemed to me that targeting could have been called on Whit Weeks again late in game against S. Carolina. The commentators mentioned that Sellers took a "hit to the head" on the play. Glad we were playing at home..... Love the enthusiasm and effort but that was very close..... Anyone else think that we got away w one?
The other baffling call was the apparent infraction by S. Carolina on fake punt. Seemed to me that the ref stepped out of the way and the play should have been allowed to stand. I understand there was substitution going on and LSU was allowed to substitute but the ref clearly moved out of the way so play could continue. Beamer was arguing w refs after and was pretty pissed about it.
LSU was clearly the better team but those were 2 plays that went our way thankfully. Weeks aggressive play is AWESOME but he needs to clean up those hits w his helmet or he's going to get canned again.

And any prosecutor could destroy your theory of this being error. It may sound like a large distance when looking at it. But for a car traveling 30-50 mph it’s still only 1.5-3 second difference. You get a car flying at you at that short of a distance and see how you react.
---
Who are you referring to on the "reaction" - the gold truck driver or the driver that turned into oncoming traffic? I can only assume the gold truck driver. He simply slowed down and reacted accordingly.
The driver that turned into oncoming traffic was the one "flying at you" based on evidence. Going too fast (speeding), following too close, not paying attention, etc. Turning into oncoming traffic should be a felony in this case. That was horrible driving any way you want to slice it up.

From what I gathered, Lacy was speeding in and out of traffic on a two lane road going south. Him doing this made a driver (gold truck) in the northbound lane slam on his brakes. The person behind the gold truck swerving into the southbound lane to avoid running into the back of the truck and that’s how the collision happened. Am I off base?
---
"Slam on brakes." I didn't hear any brakes.
"The person behind the gold truck swerving into southbound lane". I don't think she was swerving. She intently turned her vehicle in southbound lane b/c she was not paying attention to her surroundings. That's what I think.
Kyren Lacy was definitely driving recklessly for passing in a no passing zone and speeding. He didn't kill anyone but himself. RIP

re: LSP release Lacy info in reference to Lacy attorney misinformation
Posted by DrD on 10/7/25 at 8:33 am to LSUbasketballfan
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the people still acting like Lacy didn’t cause the crash, how do you explain the fact that all of the witnesses on the scene were telling the state trooper right when he got there that a green charger caused all of this?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's b/c he fled the scene of an accident. Of course he's going to look like the bad guy. He wasn't there to defend himself. You even hear some made up b.s. from a witness about the gold truck "slamming on his brakes" when the driver of the gold truck admitted that was not the case.
I can see where the argument could be made that Lacy caused the chain of events that resulted in an accident. However, the facts are that the driver of vehicle behind the gold charger "caused" the fatal accident w her awful decision making. Like I mentioned earlier who veers into oncoming traffic like that? That's beyond me. When faced with a decision to veer into oncoming traffic or rear end car in front of me it's a no brainer.

Gotta love the person "responsible" for the accident - lady driving the car behind the gold truck. Trooper asked "How fast were you going? Her response: "Speed limit." Hummm
It is also convenient to note that there is no actual video of the accident from the north bound perspective. All we see is the green charger speeding and then getting into their lane just before accident/contact.
The lady driving the car behind the gold truck was the culprit in this unfortunate accident that claimed a life. She should have simply hit the gold truck from behind limiting the damage. Why in the world she veered into oncoming traffic is crazy. Who does that? That is asking for potential serious damage to everyone involved. She was clearly speeding (well over speed limit), distracted, and following too closely. She deserves to be punished IMHO. Bad driving.
The LSP can spin it anyway they want. Evidence clearly indicates the driver behind the gold truck caused the accident. Kyren Lacy based on the video evidence was indeed driving fast and illegally passing in a no passing zone. He deserves some blame in this accident but not to the extent that he "caused" the accident. That's what I would come up with if this thing went to trial and I was on a jury. RIP Kyren Lacy.

You can’t have a spy every play. You do that and they’ll take advantage of it. The spy leaves a liability somewhere. Kind of like how rushing three should leave a liability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXACTLY! 3rd and long is perfect time to "spy" on a running QB. Not once the entire game was Perk in position to do that like he was against Clemson. The last defensive play against Clemson to seal the game was a prime example. I realize the game against Ole Miss is over but this is 1 of the main reasons our defense could not get off the field. We did NOT have that problem against Clemson. Let's not repeat same mistake against South Carolina. Let it happen.

What happened w Perkins spying on QB for Ole Miss?
Posted by DrD on 10/6/25 at 7:12 am
Seems like we had a plan for Clemson QB but not Ole Miss QB. Where was Perkins? Hope they go back to the way Perkins was used G1 against Clemson. That worked out pretty well. We are going to need that type of plan for USCe QB. :banghead:

re: I'm seeing a lot of talk about Nuss's injury
Posted by DrD on 9/30/25 at 3:27 pm to Sheriff Brackett
There were 2 passes (1 to each side of end zone) that were excellent passes and could have been caught. Ole Miss DB's were super aggressive and they did a lot of holding when ball was in air. Those were quality passes. If he's hurt he wasn't on those 2 plays. That's 14 points more on offense and a "W."
Props to the last drive on offense to give LSU a chance. That was vintage NUSS and if we had gotten the ball back who knows what could of happened. We may have actually seen him scramble...... LOL

OFFENSE immediate fix to WIN out
Posted by DrD on 9/30/25 at 3:17 pm
Kelly needs to "help" call the plays. Sloan makes $1MM+. Kelly makes $9.5MM this year - w/o any incentives for a bowl game or playoffs. He needs to just call the plays. I doubt the 2 point conversion would have been his 1st option. BK is ahead of the pack w over 100 more wins in his coaching career than any other current coach at this level. That is amazing. He's seen his share of great teams and has had to make changes mid-season from time-to-time.
DEFENSE appears to be legit. They need to clean up some things w their spy package and NOT have a brain fart every game w blown coverages. WEST WEEKS keeps his head in the game and we may have shut the Rebs out the 2nd half.
Kelly sees and has been preaching about the opportunity for a championship THIS year. He sees the same thing we see. NUSS may be the answer moving forward or he may not. We all know what a running QB brings to the table after watching Ole Miss QB eat us alive. Either way the OFFENSE is our salvation if we are to do better than last year. Let it happen. Geaux Tigers!

re: Don't understand why Ole Miss is favored
Posted by DrD on 9/25/25 at 6:42 pm to VegasTiger7
I agree based on watching LSU play every game this season. However, have you even watched 1 Ole Miss game this year? That's where the bias creeps in. Ole Miss had more players "sign up" from the portal than LSU. They are legit from that standpoint. They are also playing at home and have won all their games (although Arky game was a gift). Would love to see the Tigers put it all together and play a complete game in all areas. They do that and we should win. Geaux Tigers!

This was comic relief for Kelly. Started out rough w dumbass 1st question after an emotional and hard fought victory against our #1 rival (in my mind). There were so many good things that came out of that game. He did not handle the question well for sure or could have handled it better. He later apologized in same press conference so that's already been addressed.
You could tell he was strained and on edge for most of the press conference. He needs to apologize for the ridiculous offensive play calling. That has to be fixed! Geaux Tigers!!!!!

Did anyone else get a laugh out of the post game presser?
Posted by DrD on 9/14/25 at 10:38 am
I mean Kelly looked exhausted after that game. Our coach is "all in" on this team. He knows and sees the potential - every day. I can see Kelly's point when 1st question out the gate after a hard-fought victory is to bitch about the offense. It was good to see him lighten up at the end. I think he even offered a little friendly cross-fire to media/reporters. His post-game presser reminded me of 1 of those comedy specials. Not bad stand up comedy.
Problem was it was the 1st question. I guarantee you if that question would have been mentioned after all the good talking points later everything would have been fine. He even started with "we were playing to win" and I'm guessing he felt dis-respected after trying to cover-his-arse on the conservative game plan offensively.
Kelly knows what he has. He keeps talking about it every day. The offensive line needs to improve. True! True! True!
Sloan also needs to get a bit more creative w the play calling. Good to be 3-0! Geaux Tigers! NEXT!
