If the race is within 3% by the time the panhandle results start coming in, you can pretty much chalk up a win for the red team.

Winning changes all those words.
CKM took over a team that the majority here said was years away.
Now? Fire him lol
Yall have ADD.

KM was put in a tough situation, but at the same time, we have regressed since the end of last season. There is no excuse for going 0-3 in this past homestand especially with how poorly we have played. Follow that up with KM's Napoleon Dynamite persona in the press conference with his 4 word answers, and you have a locker room and fan base that is growing impatient.

Bill Belichick acts the same way in press conferences, but he also has 6 Super Bowl titles and a system that even Nick Saban learned from. KM is a rookie head coach who doesn't even look like he wants to be there half of the time. When does he argue with a ref? When does he show fire when answering a single question? Where's the excitement from him when we score a touchdown? At least PRETEND that you like your job.

…and they’re crying the loudest about some grand LSU conspiracy to send them back down to FCS.

---

It's not a conspiracy. The BOR member who went to LSU law school actually said it. :lol:

quote:

---

I understand these are not going to be popular on an LSU board, but LSU does what is best for LSU. Not the state. Not the areas service. Only LSU. The legislature is heavily invested and heavily backed by those with similar interests and no matter where a lawmaker went to school allegiance to LSU is paramount to getting things done in Baton Rouge and support. Over the last 50-60 years that allegiance has been interpreted and widely accepted as being because it is better, when it in fact is just the most protected.

This 100000x

This should happen, but pride will need to be swallowed

If those three schools should drop to FCS, so should the other 100+ FBS schools that are in the same situation. That would leave ~25 schools in FBS.

quote:

he above is the only reason this has come up. ULS is about to get a budget cut to move more funds to the LSU system in the event LSU can't get a PE contract that gives them enough funds. ULL and LTU need to do a better job of management, but this story and the BOR looking into it has nothing to do with those schools, but rather shining a light there so LSU's financial situation is not the main focus while the legislature works behind the scenes.

Exactly.

This is nothing but a diversion from LSU's situation.

1. Landry is going to protect his state institutions especially if there's economic repercussions. LSU getting expelled from the SEC would hurt the state.

2. LSU Football is on another level of "sacred" in this state compared to most state's football programs. He is also up for re-election in 2027. This is a no brainer to score some political points.

3. It seems like Landry has taken on "projects" for each of his state institutions. In Lafayette, he is really pushing hard for a relationship between UL(L) and SpaceX since it'll be the closest 4 year school to the launch site plus the area will be directly affected by SpaceX's arrival. At LSU, he got his new President and is now going all in on athletics to try to use it as a catalyst to upgrade the rest of the school. In North Louisiana, he is pushing the relationship of ULM/La Tech and META.

The whole thing is a mess. Between the local judges, the SEC, the NCAA, etc., there's like 20 jurisdictions telling us 20 different things. :lol:

What they should do after this ruling is just set the rules starting next year, enforce them, and stick with them. But that's too rational, so there will be something else that will go to court by next year.

Curious what happens to areas like Maurice being near to Lafayette with good schools, but also within driving distance to the launch area

---

Maurice is one of the fastest growing towns in that area for people looking to stay in the vicinity of Lafayette and avoid the traffic. I think it's going to grow even more now especially since that 167 stretch to Abbeville has a lot of potential to build industrial businesses like they did in Broussard along Highway 90.

Any area south of the Acadiana Mall is now in play to see some real growth.

quote:

Then why are you asking the question?


Landry has cleaned up the academic side while also cleaning up the mess on the athletic side.

---

Because in the ~160 years that LSU has existed, it's never happened. I honestly don't know what to expect from this new chancellor. He just got hired. He may be a bust for all we know.

quote:

---

We have reinstituted testing for admissions we hired a big time research guy as chancellor


Do y’all not pay attention?



I’m not joking when I say Landry is killing it for LSU

---

I pay full attention to this stuff which is why I'm having this conversation. LSU has always had the perception that they put athletics ahead of academics. This isn't some unknown concept.
