Very poor guard play and erratic shot selection played big parts in the LSU loss last night. Couple that with the 3 point shooting of Clark in the second half and the Tigers were doomed. Van Lith made multiple mistakes and shot very poorly.

Nussmeier has not proven a thing. A decent half of football in a game that was over at the end of the first half really means nothing. He has shown a lack of patience in the pocket and continues to believe he can fit the his passes into small windows that don’t exist. QB and many other positions of concern will have to be dealt with by LSU coaches in 2024. There is a real chance that the Tigers take a big step backwards next year.

“Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.” Bama fans need to thank their lucky stars that their team got in the playoff and not get greedy complaining about the Heisman

FSU simply was no longer a top 4 team once they lost their QB. I believe most fans want to see the best teams. I am not even sure Washington is better than Georgia, but Georgia lost the one game they couldn’t lose. Once the playoffs get here, no one, except FSU fans, will care that the Seminoles were left out.

Whatever bowl LSU goes to, do you really think Daniels, Nabers or Thomas will play? Probably won’t. Then LSU will have a crippled offense to go with its pitiful defense. Won’t be a pleasant sight.

Any forum that supplies a certain amount of anonymity, i.e. internet, call in shows, allows ignorant hatred to be spewed. A new factor in this whole thing is the NIL and the transfer portal. The players’ ability to jump ship and play immediately elsewhere, plus the fact that they are now paid professionals have combined to cause many fans to increase their scrutiny of players and coaches in very negative ways. The players are no longer viewed as “our boys” playing for the old school.

If you win 6 out of 10 games against the spread, betting $100 per game, you would clear $160.

They transferred in, got their NIL money and didn’t perform. Remember, they are paid, professional athletes. They don’t play for the old alma mater. College fans still think they do, but they do not. It’s the all for one mentality.

The season will be full of surprises, but the biggest one would be if GA doesn’t win a 3rd straight NC. Their fans, after being in the national championship desert for decades, expect winning a third straight NC as a given. They have gone from thirsty to drunk concerning championships. 10-2, 11-2, 12-2 will never be enough again. Nothing less than the NC will now be needed to quench those fans thirst.

It must be a Biden thing, one stupid idea after another.

Reese picked the wrong time and wrong place to perform her antics. As a Tiger fan, I was let down. Fans have no problem with players having issues, perceived or real, with opposing players, but there is a time and place for that. Her timing was inappropriate. Also, the Iowa player should have been chosen MVP of the final four. She deserved it. She was the main reason I even watched the game.

Oops, Bama falters against an ok foe. Justice prevails.

Down goes Bama, down goes Bama!!

Baseball season starts. It involves every SEC school and yet no articles??

Only if you say it’s because he was in the semi-circle, otherwise the shooter initiated the confact

Wonderful stat line. His shooting percentage and shot selection were both horrible. He certainly is no Chris Paul. His shot selection is very me oriented.

For Bowers to be a truly elite TE, he is going to have to prove he can block consistently.

National Championship game, Cincy vs Wolverines!

Heck of an offensive season for Miss. Defense even improved. With he end of the season fast approaching, who is going to replace Corral? Kiffin acknowledges that Corral made all the difference in the season for them. I would think we will see Miss take a significant step back next year.

Kelly has done as much as Smith has done at Georgia. He’s been to the play-off more than once and been to the final. Yes, he lost in the final, but so did Kirby. By a little or by a lot, a loss is a loss. Most people don’t remember who finished second or even care.

I guess it’s been a reality for a while now. These guys look at the college programs as the minor league feeder programs for the NFL. Loyalty and the old school spirit are out the window. Teammates?? Nope, their just pieces of the puzzle to get to the pros. Please stop referring to these guys as kids. They are getting paid and are not doing it for tradition or commitment to their schools. Cash is their guiding light. Team does not come first. The center of their being is no longer we, but only me.

Don't be naive. Do you really think A&M hasn't done some of the same things within their athletics department. Heck, most of the schools in the SEC have probably covered for athletes. All the schools are glass houses and fans should be careful about throwing stones at each other.

I agree. There is far more than meets the eye. Gilbert asked to return to LSU, but was told there would be requirements he would have to meet for that to happen. He will be a fine pass catcher for Florida, but something is amiss.

Who cares? Some very wealthy guys outside of the universities pony up the buyout funds. It cost the schools nothing and cost all the folks commenting here nothing. I don't fault anyone trying to get as much money as they can get. If the powers that be don't like these salary levels don't pay them. Supply and demand, isn't that what makes our capitalist society work?

Yes, the television folks showed the Tiger coach continuing his verbal attack on the referee well after the game ended. They also showed the interim coach for South Carolina seeking Wade out to shake his hand and yet there was no team leader there to confirm the gesture with a handshake. Excellent role model.

Different teams, with different circumstances. Covid made the year challenging for Bama. No doubt the Tide was easily the best team in America in 2020. They beat 3 teams ranked in the Top 5. LSU beat 7 ranked teams in 2019, including 4 ranked in the Top 5. Both great teams, why try to say one is better than the other? Bama is better year in and year out. I do think more folks nationwide were enamored with LSU and Joe Burrow than they were with Mac Jones and his talented bunch.

Jimbo signs excellent talent, but they haven't arrived until he gets a real top shelf QB. NC was Auburn with a better passer. Aggies are still well behind Bama, Clemson, Ohio St. They probably would struggle with ND, Georgia and several others.

A depleted NC team moved the ball at will versus A&M. I do believe that NC wins the game had they had the opt out, "quitter," players play. The era of Fisher will arrive when he finds a championship level QB.

LSU could be a shoe in to play.

I am not a spoiled fan. I accepted early on, before the season started, that this would be a significant rebuilding year. I did feel Brennan would be fine at QB, but I really made myself believe that 7-3 was the best anyone could hope for 2020. Then Coach O goes and says that this will be the best defense the Tigers have had since he's been there. Wow, maybe things could be better. Well, Coach O was full of barnyard droppings. I almost believe he made that comment as a parting shot at Dave Aranda. Now 3-7 looks like the best that can be expected. The defense continues to make the same mistakes it has all year and the o-line is hit and miss at best. An IVY league transfer at starting center should have been the early tip off. I only pray that Orgeron doesn't become LSU's version of Gene Chizik.
