Those of you who called UAB a trap game…SMH. This team and coaching staff ain’t living in the past with y’all. I put money on LSU tonight (that’s why we/I gamble Tank) and I put money on our Tigers against Georgia. It took me half the season but I believe in this team. Jump aboard the bus…..it’s a fun ride!!!!!

post anything about Hugh Freeze going to Auburn?

I'm hearing Hugh Freeze to Auburn. Is that right?

It was ugly tonight against Texas A&M. There’s no sugarcoating it. LSU was outplayed, outcoached and didn’t look like the same team we’ve been watching the last few weeks.

That being said: this group has achieved more than anyone anticipated in Year 1 of Brian Kelly and have looked like a totally different team the back half of the season compared to the Florida State loss. There’s been tremendous accountability, leadership and growth within the team.

BUT, the Tigers should have won this game. There was no one making plays or providing a spark throughout much of the game. Jayden Daniels missed WRs again and was unable to get into the end zone with his legs or by passing, John Emery carried the rock for 3 scores. Daniels also had the fumble turnover which took the momentum out of the Tigers. We also did not see Matt House’s signature second-half adjustments we’ve become accustomed to all season. A lot of things had to go wrong for LSU while everything had to go right for A&M and that’s exactly what happened.

I’m excited to see what BK and this staff and team can do over the next few years. Next up, Georgia.

I just seen where Texas A&M had both Offensive and Defensive Players of the week.
WOW where was that team all year.

Mentioned last week he would be one to watch coming off the Ohio State visit. I literally just spoke to a source regarding him about 10 minutes ago trying to figure out when the flip or decommitment would come and here it is…

I assume after next weekends SEC Championship game we will drop out of New Years Six game but I would have loved to have had a matchup with a way over ranked Penn State,

-- Kelly: "We weren't our best today."

-- Jayden Daniels has an ankle injury

-- Kelly: “We needed more juice, more fire, and we lacked that today. That’s on me.”

-- Jarrick Bernard-Converse was out due to concussion

-- BK said after the Daniels fumble, LSU never recovered the momentum back.

-- Kelly added that this season has been one of the most enjoyable of his career and that he's proud of all the team accomplished in Year 1. The loss to A&M was a bump in the road, not a step back, he said.

…and that beatdown of our LSU Tigers woulda neva eva happened

Shameful was wut it was.

To a no bowl opportunity team

Bring Urban Meyer to Baton Rouge

And then let’s get the kind players LSU needs to fly like Tigers again and maul teams like in years past.

Lost 42-54 to Pulaski Academy who has won 10 State Championships in the last 12 years. . Was a great game and a great season. Finished 11-1!! Son scored twice and had his best game of the season. 10 catches over 150 yards.

@Julie Boudwin

-- Brian Kelly says Jarrick Bernard-Converse will practice non-contact Tuesday. They’re expecting “he’ll be back for us.”

-- Kelly says Jayden Daniels will get his ankle examined again tomorrow. “He’s got to be able to get up on his toes.”

-- Kelly on the SEC Championship: "Our guys have had the opportunity to play the best and this is another opportunity for us to be challenged."

-- Kelly on what it would mean to win the SEC title… “It would obviously be something we would all feel great about in our first year here at LSU. … it would be such a huge thing for this football program.”

-- Kelly isn’t worried about a potential letdown: “Our guys know they let something slip away and they’re upset about it.”

-- Kelly was asked about deciding what to change and what not to change at LSU when he arrived a year ago: "You don't really touch tradition, but you don't worship it."

-- Kelly was asked about his biggest takeaway from his first season in the SEC: "This past weekend. You have to bring your best each and every week. If you don't, you'll get beat. That, to me, is the takeaway. You cannot play without the energy and the identity of your football team.”

And picks Auburn!

WTF!

-- Bell's Pop Warner team was featured in a documentary. He declared on camera back then that in 5 years he'll be at #LSU as a starting cornerback. "Mark my words. Mark this date right now." \

Here's the doc on his team: Login to view embedded media
-- Brian Kelly recruited Bell's older brother, Tre, to Notre Dame in 2012. So, needless to say, the family has known Kelly for about a decade now, which only helps a situation.


-- LSU's Cortez Hankton and Bobby Barham have had their eyes on Bell since they were on UGA's staff when then an 8th grader, Bell, was putting on a show at a few 7on7 tournaments on campus. UGA offered Bell after those events.


-- He grew up a fan of LSU because its DBU. He watched Derek Stingley, Tyrann Mathieu, Morris Claiborne, Tre’Davious White, Patrick Peterson to name a few. He thinks he has the chops to be in that kind of category.


-- My take on Bell: He's got a lot of growing to do as far as adding weight and obviously that'll come over time as his body matures but he's long as hell and we know how much that helps when playing CB. He's been coached all his life by his dad, Marion, and his brother. They're a football family and it always helps to have a solid football bloodline.

BRIAN KELLY

-- Kelly on Maason Smith: “He’s doing well. He’s focused on his academics and rehabilitation. He’s had no setbacks.” Added that the expectation is Smith will be ready to be involved in spring ball.

-- Kelly on Harold Perkins… “He’s very, very talented. … He is an elite and special player.”

-- Kelly on John Emery bouncing back… “He needed it for himself. Obviously he took it hard the week before not taking care of the football. … it was a really nice way to respond to some adversity.”

-- Kelly says he feels good about Josh Williams being part of the game plan for the SEC Championship.

-- Kelly says they kept Jayden Daniels in a boot today due to his ankle injury and he’s optimistic Daniels will practice Tuesday. It was not a high ankle sprain.

-- Kelly on the loss to A&M: "We've played with traits over talent all year and for some reason those traits weren't in place on Saturday. Our players know it, they took it hard after the game. We don't wanna be beat when not bringing our very best."


KIRBY SMART

-- Smart on LSU LB Harold Perkins: “He’s extremely explosive, athletic and they do a very good job of utilizing his skillset.”

-- Smart on the difference of this Brian Kelly team vs. Notre Dame in 2019… “Different makeup. They have big physical SEC players. … LSU is never going to be short on players.”

-- Smart on Jayden Daniels… “Extremely athletic. Smooth. Great release. … Very impressive, composure and demeanor.”

I don’t get it. Offensive play calling and qb play was awful pre Florida. Then for some reason for 3 games in a row we decided to take 50/50 shots down field and stress the defense. Since bama we went back to nothing over 15 yards and radio being timid and scared to throw. What gives?

One more time in the regular season...

Tigers and Aggies on ESPN at 6pm

Everyone goes by “what the card says”
And the card says when down by 21 in comeback mode, go for 2. In the event the other team knocks a field goal on following possession , it’s still a 2 possession game (assuming you Convert). That being said, a field goal drive by A&M would have chewed the clock making it a moot point. Had there been 11-12 minutes left, maybe. With 6 minutes left, I say take the 1 and know I’ve got to get a stop no matter what.

New Mexico State beating Liberty 42-7 in the 3rd. Liberty was a (-24) favorite. did Hugh Feeze not show up for the game?

discuss amongst yourselves…

Bush league

Is it a JD thing or is it route design? I watch teams all day on Sat that get guys wide open and streaking for huge plays. It gets frustrating.
