LOL you still don’t understand.
No man, I understand very clearly what you’re saying. I just think you’re an idiot.
Obviously no talking sense into you. Stay married to this take, after every touchdown this defense gives up next season I’m sure you’ll be on the score board screaming for Baker to be fired because he’s trash. You clearly just don’t like Baker. Whatever to each their own.

False! I said we have plenty of players with enough starts/playing time under their belt along with all the starters that played, to defeat a middle of the road offense. Yet they were embarrassed!
Okay so you’re doing exactly what I said. Slicing it up semantically to fit your narrative that Baker is trash. The defense was without their best players last night. That is not up for debate man.

I can only explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you!
I don’t think you understand much.
I don’t disagree that what matters is next year and beyond. My point to Shanks and others calling Baker trash is what has he done that makes you think he’s trash? This game missing your best players should not be held against him to the point that you think he’s trash now.
Since he took over this defense has made incremental improvements each year going from literally one of the worst in FBS under House to I believe top 25 this year in every team defensive statistic that matters.
Why would I believe that trend won’t continue and potentially improve with an offense that can score and give the defense breaks? Because they didn’t play well against Houston without their best players? Shanks is being disingenuous trying to say we were not without “starters” however you want to slice it up semantically, they didn’t have their best players on defense last night.

You are truly special. This thread has been nothing but you not accepting facts that missing literally your best players on defense all season matters.

lol what? This might be your worst take of all the bad takes man. Just give it up.
2024 Texas bowl team also almost lost to a worse Baylor team and defense played like doo doo in that game too. Only point you can make from comparing these games is more proof that bowl games are meaningless to these players now and roster turnover will be significant.

No it’s the reality of the situation that LSU were missing our best players on defense last night. That is an indisputable truth. Acting like that is just wahh making excuses for Baker wahh is dumb and not reality. Of course there is going to be a significant drop off in production when your best players aren’t playing.
Derp. Again not using context. Low IQ
quote:
That’s pretty much the definition of an excuse Look, I like Baker and think we will improve. But last night, without some of the best players, highlighted a deficiency that we have already seen in his scheme and preparation.
It’s really not an excuse. It’s the truth. Low IQ.
quote:
The result counts like any other game and is therefore, again by definition, not meaningless.
No, it is meaningless you low IQ dunce. My previous posts calling this shanks idiot low IQ is because you two are not using context at all and just looking at result. Context matters and your refusal to understand that missing all these defensive starters matters is why you are being low IQ. So go ahead and get your panties in a bunch about that.
This roster is going to be turned over next year, this coaching staff is going to be different next year, the roster that even played in this game was not the same as it was all season.
Yes, the game counts against your record but who cares, you still didn’t meet expectations whether you won or not. You just feel a little better that hey we won the Texas bowl. Would rather be in that position but we aren’t and it has no bearing at all on anything with this program, so therefore, it is meaningless.
No UH does not have the same resources as LSU but they are improving fast in that department. Ever hear of Tillman Fertita? They are spending money over there now and Willie Fritz is a good coach. They are not a bad team and will compete in the Big 12 most years.
The defense wasn’t good last night. It’s not excuses when it’s reality that this team clearly treated this game as a meaningless game with all of the opt outs. UH treated it like their Super Bowl with no starters opting out. The result of this game is meaningless as much as you want to try and say otherwise.

So does coaching.
Baker is a good coach. Lots of evidence proves that with the year over year improvements he has made in 2 seasons. Only so much you can do as a coach when you do have the players in game that you are forced to play mostly rotational players because all of your best players opted out. Again, that’s not excuses, it’s reality that we did not have the players last night.
quote:
f our defense transforms into a below average unit when it misses half its starters, I’m questioning how good the coaching really is.
Players matter
quote:
I don’t think expecting the coach that was not only retained, but given a raise, to have his side of the field prepared enough to win the game is at all unreasonable.
He did not have the talent or depth on defense this game. Period. Plus a whole host of other variables with coaching staff, opt outs, and players unsure about their future. UH is also not a bad team like you are insinuating.
At full strength this defense was very good this year. They were the difference in this team even making a bowl game. Do you not remember how bad the House defense was? Baker is a very good DC and honestly I am tired of the slander he gets, that’s why I am defending him so much in this thread.
Wait and see what they do next season. This game was meaningless. The roster is going to be very different next year.

Lol at thinking LSU should get dominated after a few missing starters against a middle of the road offense. Cry bitch
Man, you are desperate to skew this to be right on this. I literally do not care one iota that we lost that game and that the defense didn’t look good.
This team is going to be completely different next season and Baker has made tremendous improvements to this defense in the last 2 seasons. I believe we will see more improvement next season.
You are the one crying, bitch

Which is disingenuous. They are rotational players for a reason.
This roster is going to look very different next season. Just shut up and give this staff a chance to see what they can do with an offense that actually compliments them.

64th total offense. LSU missing a few starters and replacing them with players with multiple starts, plenty of quality playing time, made them look like Joe Montana and the 49ers.
Keep dying on this hill and repeating the same low IQ talking points.
You do realize 64th ranked offense is not bad, right? Not great but it’s still in the top half of the country.

UH is not a bad team. They finished 10-3 in a pretty good Big 12 this year. You are acting like they played McNeese or some shite.

is the reason LSU lost last night.
Yes defense played bad last night. It was a meaningless bowl game with a frick ton of other variables that impacted the performance. Look at the improvement this defense has made in year 2 of Baker from what it was with House. Without that improvement year over year this team doesn’t make a bowl game.
You are just a miserable overly emotional fan that wants a new coach fired after every game.

Baker is among the highest paid DCs in cfb. He deserves to be ridiculed after that performance.
Baker and this defense is also the only reason this team is bowl eligible this season.
