LSU comes in at No. 14 in the College Football Playoff rankings after dropping the regular season finale to Texas A&M.

A lot of posters on this site believed that A&M would just roll over and quit and I tried to warn them not to take that team lightly. They had too much talent to think all we had to do go into their stadium and they would just crumble. Instead, what happened was what I was afraid would happen.... They finally put a whole game together and their best players made the plays necessary
to win the game. Give them credit and shame on our team for taking them too lightly. I know our team and coaches will learn from this loss and be better for it.

We still had a GREAT SEASON and if we give Georgia our best game and with a little luck, we might end up SEC Champions! GO TIGERS!

If you didn't see my post earlier, LSU offered a new 2023 tight end Tuesday.

Brian Kelly, Mike Denbrock & Co. extended an offer to longtime Cincinnati tight end commitment Jackson McGohan, who actually committed to the Bearcats while Denbrock was still on the staff. With Luke Fickell leaving Cincinnati for Wisconsin, there's an opportunity potentially to reunite Denbrock with the tight end who committed to him.

I'm told that McGohan and his family are big Cincinnati fans as well as his girlfriend's family so take that for what it is. Not sure how important it may or may not be to him. But he does have a great relationship with Denbrock.

"It’s an incredible feeling and I am just very blessed to even be in this position," the three-star tight end told me right after his offer. "Coach Denbrock and I have a great relationship and we have maintained that. I committed while he was still at Cincy so another door is opening between the two of us that I could do the same thing!"

I'm also still monitoring Vanderbilt commitment Ka'Morreun Pimpton, who's senior season just ended this past weekend with a playoff loss. There's mutual interest between Pimpton and LSU but an official visit has not been set just yet because the tight end isn't sure yet if he's signing in December or February. The hope would be to get Pimpton to sign in December and take his OV the weekend before the ESP.

At this point I think it would be a matter of which tight end wants him and who's willing to commitment first.

Now that the portal is about to open and recruiting is about to get really hot for the early signing date, I see all of these posts about getting some really good players from the portal from P5 programs. I just wonder how many of these players aren’t just using the portal as leverage to get the best NIL deals they can get without ever intending to leave their current program.

I thought the officials sucked Saturday night. I know this sounds like sour grapes; however, I never understood how they could call off the interference call on A$M after the DB jumped on the receivers back, nor the fact in a couple of critical situations the stripes called holding on LSU but nary a holding call on A$M.
Can't wait to see what the zebras bring to the SEC championship game.

LSU picked up another 2023 baseball commitment from Dallas Dale II from Apopka, FL. He's an OF/1B and rated a "9" on a 10-pt. scale by Perfect Game.

Is there a site that follows WBB, recruiting, stuff like that?
Looks like I might be getting interested in who Ms Kim is bringing in here!

Not sure any conference in the Nation can claim better coaching and recruiting talent than the SEC West.
Kids will want to play for these coaches, universities and in the SECW. Not necessarily in that order.

If not too many people have voted Stroud’s Heisman just disappeared. Michigan should send big time gambling a bill.

The OSU is a dirty team. Ryan needs to do something about it. But no CFP for Ohio State. They were drubbed today.

Knew this was being felt as another inevitable one, but we’ve now lost our 2nd DL commit in the last week.

Notice how he always says something along the lines of "that's on me" or "we have to coach better"? He puts himself and the staff at the forefront of accountability and responsibility for losses or mistakes (yes, it's a small sample so far with only one season, but that is what we have to go on). Contrast that with NS who talks about "didn't make the plays we needed to", "players did not play to their potential", etc. Rarely have I heard him ever say it's on the coaches. As I said, it's a small point, but with this generation of players and the current environment with NIL/portal, it's a small thing that could go a long way.

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…
