All we have is football … and baseball. So, it’s always “all in.”
Keep up or quit.

What are you talking about?
Ancient history?
Houston was favored and we didn’t even have a coach or quarterback and half our players were gone.

Telling LSU fans Lane is going to leave us soon doesn’t affect us at all

Everything in college football is year to year now. Expecting a player or coach to stay for any length of time is delusional. It’s pure chaos.
Plus, so what if he leaves after a couple of years or 5 years or 10 years or 15 years? All we have is today anyway.
How is Lane doing today? That’s all that matters until there is CFB reform of some kind. It’s not 2010 anymore. It’s the Wild West and we bought a mercenary gunslinger with a chip on his shoulder. So be it.

Do we need any corners?

What’s our cornerback situation? I see we haven’t taken one yet. Are we eyeing anyone or are we good?
This is not a complaint thread or doom saying. It’s a simple question as to the CB situation.

Where would we be right now if Brian Kelly was still the coach?

Safe to say it would be a complete demolition of the program at this point if we hadn’t made the move. The buyout saves us money in the long run.
Look, 2019 LSU is better and would beat this team, but this is the first time since 2019 I haven’t been personally insulted by making the comparison.
This is an incredible football team. Dominant and a pleasure to watch.

#6 and 13-1 only remaining SEC team against an ACC team with two losses? Kiffin set Ole Miss up so well and then Golding just chokes it away with his defense giving up 31 points.
Doesn’t bode well.

Oh, I’m fine. I was just reflecting on why the Big 10 sports media and the rest of the SEC likes to run this lie that LSU is somehow corrupt and everyone else is pure. It’s about more than football.
What will our Offensive Line be?
Posted by AlaTiger on 1/7/26 at 8:16 pm
Confused as to why we lost everyone, but who are we replacing them with? What’s our list of OLine candidates to start and for depth?
Because he came to LSU and EVERYONE all over America thinks they are superior to “corrupt” and backward Louisiana with its Cajun-Creole population. A lot of yall don’t want to admit that, but there’s a good deal of that going on.
It happened when Brian Kelly left ND for LSU. It happened with everyone making fun of Orgeron and Les Miles and saying how they are a “cultural fit.”
It happened back when Saban was here and voting USC co-champs and the media hounding Saban every single year about when he was leaving. The reality is that people in Alabama and Mississippi believe they are superior to Cajun-French and Creole people in Louisiana. This is an ancient belief that goes back to old English-French rivalry.
So, the narrative is that Lane is corrupt and LSU is corrupt because for hundreds of years Anglo-American Protestants have believed that French/Spanish Catholics and Black people are corrupt and all of this gets projected into college football narratives, same as when a team from the South plays Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, or Penn State, a lot of southerners replay the Civil War in their subconscious.
They will all use this in recruiting, by the way. It’s a real problem. Winning will solve it, but for now, we’re caught in the media spin cycle and it favors Ole Miss.

College Football is the dumbest pro sport in America
Posted by AlaTiger on 1/5/26 at 11:40 pm
Players getting paid millions, have agents, no contracts, can leave any time for another school, change teams year to year, every roster complete resets each year, unlimited transfers, no penalty, no buyout
This is completely stupid. No other pro sport works this way. How does this continue? Do the universities not have any leverage at all?

Anyone know?
It was 38 at the end of Orgeron’s tenure? What did Kelly leave us with?

Seems like he should have been looking for the ball.
On an onside kick, I’ve never seen the ball hit someone on the kicking team in their hands and they try NOT to get the ball. He had no clue where he was on the field.

Cooley didn’t realize he was past 10 yards, tried to avoid ball that hit him in hands

Pretty sure that’s what happened. He could have just grabbed the ball. Total lack of awareness.
Did Ole Miss claim SEC Regular Season Co-Champ this year? Wondering about Lane’s Resume…
Posted by AlaTiger on 12/25/25 at 1:34 pm
I know Ole Miss likes to do that. Just thinking that should go on our coach’s resume is Ole Miss claims it.
re: Military experts: who is your worst general?

Ewell at Gettysburg was really terrible. From Google AI:
At Gettysburg, General Lee told General Ewell to take Cemetery Hill "if practicable" on the first day, meaning "if it's possible" or "if you can without a big fight," but Ewell, exhausted and new to corps command, decided it wasn't practical and didn't attack, allowing the Union to secure the crucial high ground, a decision often cited as a key turning point that shaped the rest of the battle. The phrase's vagueness allowed Ewell discretion, but many argue it reflected Lee's poor communication and Ewell's hesitation cost the Confederates the battle.
The "If Practicable" Order
Context: Late on July 1, 1863, after Confederates pushed Union forces back, Cemetery Hill remained undefended by the South.
Lee's Command: Lee instructed Ewell to seize the hill, adding the crucial qualifier, "if practicable," and not to bring on a general engagement.
Ewell's Decision: Ewell, facing tired troops and a strong defensive position, judged the attack impractical and held back, letting Union troops fortify the heights.
Significance & Controversy
Strategic Blunder: Many historians believe Ewell's decision allowed the Union to establish a strong, defensible position (the "fishhook") that proved difficult for Lee to dislodge in the following days, influencing the entire battle.
"Lost Cause" Narrative: The order became central to the post-war "Lost Cause" narrative, with some Southerners blaming Ewell for failing to emulate the aggressive Stonewall Jackson, who would have, they claimed, taken the hill immediately.
Communication vs. Command: The incident highlights a recurring criticism of Lee's command style at Gettysburg: his reliance on vague, discretionary orders rather than clear, direct commands, especially with new corps commanders like Ewell.

I actually thought it was pretty funny and totally fitting of the SEC Rant over the years.
Looking forward to seeing how LSU coaches do charity work over Christmas and lead Ole Miss into the playoffs. Not sure how much they can do, though.
