re: Worst SEC state to live in

US News and World News has ranked all of the states.
Louisiana comes in at #50.


That is what the report says, you should be know that Mississippi comes in at #48

I would not be bragging about coming in 2nd to the worst, not considering Alaska being #49

The bottom five states in the U.S. News & World Report ranking were:

Louisiana
Alaska
Mississippi
New Mexico
Michigan
Louisiana was not only last overall, but also last for “crime and corrections.” It ranked second-to-last for economy and natural environment, as well.

Mississippi ranked last for health care and New Mexico was worst for education.

Arch is a loser. The black sheep of the Manning family.


Not sure about that, athletic and only his 3rd season.

Jayden Daniels only became elite after his 3rd season.
Season 4 his moved to LSU showed his promise
Season 5 Jayden won the Heisman
1st season as a pro he was awesome

Arch may come around sooner than you think but most are correct today he has not classified as elite to date.

I think he will be very good before he turns pro

call LSU athletes and recruits “young men”. That’s something an 80 year old calls a 10 year old.


A 10 year old should never be called a young man.

Child 0 to 1st grade?
Young boy 2nd to 8th grade?
Teenager 9th grade through 12th grade
Young man 19 to 24

No where does young male relate to size and financial status

You may debate what my generation calls a male at different ages but no one I know uses size and money to describe a male at different age stages

Only 250 golfers on PGA tour have won 5 tournaments or more. Sam has won 5 times on tour and this puts him in the elite category for PGA tour players.

Sam learned how to win years ago and is a winner for sure, quit with the negative

1971 LSU vs Texas A&M, a blowout and will never forget the chant after the game.
"GO TO HELL OLE MISS GO TO HELL"

at that time did not understand the chant.

Remember vividly pregame eating Kentucky Fried Chicken in the parking lot just West of the stadium

What makes soccer special to me, a team can totally dominate the game and still only win by 1 goal. A true team sport

Beautiful sport, the athletes are so fluid

I’m sure there’s logical explanations but I am still perplexed by Perkins massive impact his freshman year and never returning to that type of big play ability?


Injury, ACL tear junior year 3rd season
Freshman year and Sophomore years were similar stat wise
Obviously ACL tear limited him to playing in 4 games junior season

Senior year was off and not all recoveries happen quick and some never recover.

Somehow fans assume that all ACL tears and other injuries are the same with athletes fully recovering the same.

Should not be on the list
great talent but he served his time and should be in the NFL or have a job

College football needs a huge overhaul and never will get it

One day soon a kid will get his 7th season to prove himself

Wild that people do not know this and good post

Go win a few games

The great tight ends are valuable for sure, but a mediocre player on the field just to put a tight end may not be better

For arguments sake spreading the field with 4 or 5 receivers can open up the running game getting defensive players out of the tight box

Great Tight Ends are super hard to find

Tony Gonzalez
Rob Gronkowski
Shannon Sharpe
Travis Kelce
Winslow

He didn’t pan out the way I expected.


The high ankle sprain during pre season practice totally negated his 3rd and last season
Miles needed to win so badly that he started LF against Wisconsin,

LF's freshman season was limited play.
Remember the drama of losing Speedy Noil and a year later the kid tanks his career.

This kid had all the talent but never got to show it after high school

Hopefully? What is wrong with you? Wasn’t LSU awful before her? I really don’t get some of the hate around here.


Not so sure there is hate of Kim M.
More spending 3 million dollars too much on a coach and losing 7.9 million a year on a sport but the actual loss would be more if Kim were not coaching at LSU.

This is more a title 9 thing and if you're going to invest in title 9 then Kim is an excellent choice and has proven she can win championships with talent LINK

read the link and look at the spending on Mulkey in a different way

Weird post and quickly pulled this up

Aggies made top 20 list and hard to find LSU on that list

quote:

captdalton



Texas: Usually claims the #1 spot for active players in a given season, consistently placing around 190 to 200+ players on opening weekend rosters.Florida: A massive producer of pro talent. Over the last decade, Florida has actually topped the list for the most NFL draft picks overall.California: Ranks among the very top for both active players and historical NFL

quote:

There is a strong correlation between who the coach is and success. Spurrier and Meyer obviously had success.


I think you are correct, coaches get and keep the good players from their states. The 3 states that lead in # of players Florida-Texas and California are not dominating college football and all 3 are large states

California: ~39.4 millionTexas: ~31.7 millionFlorida: ~23.5 millionNew York: ~20.0 millionPennsylvania: ~13.1 millionIllinois: ~12.7 millionOhio: ~11.9 millionGeorgia: ~11.3 millionNorth Carolina: ~11.2 millionMichigan: ~10.1 million

Florida is a top producer of NFL talent and possibly split between 3 big named schools being Miami-Florida-Florida St,

Florida schools should be winning more football championships but Texas and California are not winning either

So you statement about population and success is correct

Any SEC School Had a More Disappointing total of championships??

Well take consolation that Alabama is 9th in championships and not 14th

We all do give you tide credit for football championships and lower half of middle of the pack is better for total championships than the Mississippi Schools and Missouri

My advice is not to worry about LSU so much, you have 7 others plus two others you are chasing, Texas -Oklahoma also once the SEC totally accepts them and their championships won outside the SEC Conference.

Then bama will be in the bottom of the pack with the two mississippi schools and Missouri. We all give you credit for your football championships led by the LSU groomed head coach

Bad year for LSU sports

NCAA Recognized Titles
1. Arkansas - 50
2. LSU - 45
3. Florida - 40
4. Georgia - 31
5. Tennessee - 16
6. Auburn - 14
6. Kentucky - 14
8. Texas A&M - 13
9. Alabama - 10
10. Vanderbilt - 6
11. South Carolina - 5
12. Missouri - 2
12. Ole Miss - 2
14. Mississippi St - 1

Texas and Oklahoma not on this list but their titles were won while in other conferences

Super surprised that Alabama is 9th on the list, thank goodness for Saban the coach that was groomed by LSU

After this quit losing so much money

NIL started as booster money, if the boosters want to throw money at a sport, then let them.

As of July 1, 2025, following the House v. NCAA settlement, schools can now directly share revenue with athletes. This is a new layer of compensation separate from traditional third-party NIL deals, funded by athletic department revenue streams such as ticket sales and media rights

If a sport has a revenue stream, then let them keep it. Football is profitable as is Men's basketball.

Baseball is basically self-sufficient and after that they all lose money.

Was Saban truly better than Bear?
prplhze2000
Or did he enjoy an advantage because of a playoff system not available to Bea


Saban may very well be the better coach, two different times
Saban had to deal with recruiting limits of 25
Bear loaded up recruiting classes when recruiting limits were almost unlimited, teams could sign as many players that they could afford scholarships.
He would gobble up players other SEC schools could have gotten

Both are legends and really should not be compared

I do agree that a playoff system would have brought more National Titles to Alabama for Bear's teams
