OFF TOPIC Problems with NIL/Portal

Saban in the past has had a propensity to come after LSU players, Savion what's his face , Elias Ricks, and Kayshon Boutte. I'd look for Saban to try something similar with Perkins. Perkins is proving to be a game changer; imo Saban ,as slimey as he is , wouldn't surprise me if he comes after Perkins. In fact, I wonder if he already is laying the groundwork.
I always thought Saban had a mole in the LSU athletic dept; however, now that Kelly has cleaned house maybe the preceding has been rectified.

Brian Kelly Monday press conference notes

— LSU will honor 17 seniors Saturday night against UAB.

— Brian Kelly says DeMario Tolan is on Greg Penn’s heals and Penn can feel that and he “easily” had his best game against Arkansas.

— Kelly says LSU has managed the flu the best they can…. “Dealing with it on a day-to-day basis,” but says he doesn’t believe that had anything to do with how LSU played against Arkansas.

— Kelly on Josh Williams’ strength: “His ability to do a little bit of everything for us.”

— Kelly says they’re focused on UAB and then Texas A&M and aren’t looking at Georgia just yet, although, they’re pretty aware of what UGA brings.

— Brian Thomas was in a concussion protocol from practice and is working his way back. Sounds like he should be good but didn’t say specifically if Thomas will play this weekend. John Emery is fine, suffered a bruise, per Brian Kelly.

LSU FOOTBALL Caution on Perkins

Wow, hard to debate any of the superlatives being thrown out on HP…….but let me try. First, as great as TM7 was, I gotta say last week was the best single-player defensive performance I’ve ever seen a Tiger produce. But now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I have to ask folks to apply the breaks.
“Best LB in America“
”First team All American”
”Best defensive player in LSU history”
”He is already a first round draft pick”
I’m not suggesting those will not END UP being accurate…..but I’m not ready to bet on any of those predictions. Let me jog your memor:
Stingley Jr. Amazing freshman campaign…..ready to be crowned. Amirite? Admit it. Plays 1-1/2 yrs…..injuries happen, people get into his head and the rest is history. If any of the Stingley is slightly off, excuse me. Just tryin to make a point.
All I’m saying is, similar things could happen to HP. Throw in NIL and the lack of controls being enforced and who knows where he’ll be in two yrs.
I’ll finish by saying I haven’t been this excited about a single player since TM7……..I’m just praying he stays healthy, continues to develop and does it all in LSU purple and gold. Go Tigers!

LSU FOOTBALL Want to see vs UAB …

UAB is a 14 point dog vs LSU . The most recent game in Tiger stadium that featured a 14 point spread was 2 weeks ago ..Alabama -14 vs LSU .We all know how that turned out

I do detect a more cautious optimism this week a among the Tiger faithful on this board particularly after Daniels and the offense‘s struggles vs Arky.
No more of this “ we‘re going to best UAB by 40 points

Aside from the obvious ..a win …what will you be looking for this week vs UAB ?
….improved pass protection schemes
….Daniels rediscovering his magic that eluded him last week
… will Harold Perkins have a repeat performance ? Surely UAB will be laser focused on
trying to slow him down
… paramount is avoiding serious injuries

SEC Vols embarrass Missouri

Tenn. Coach Josh Heipel elected to run the ball in for a TD from the 2 yd line with 36 seconds remaining while holding a 59-24 lead over hapless Missouri

The announcers were certain that they would surely take a knee instead of pouring it on even more

If they were simply trying to impress the playoff selection committee by adding 7 pts to the margin it’s a pretty lame reason

Its total low class and if I were on the selection committee I’d leave them out of my votes

RECRUITING LSU commit to keep eyes on

Login to view embedded media
Joshua Mickens has been pledged to Jamar Cain and LSU since summertime but that has not stopped other programs from coming after him, including a major player in Ohio State.

The four-star was at the Buckeyes game over the weekend and picked up an offer. He has said he plans to return for the game against Michigan later this month for an official visit.

Given the proximity to his hometown of Indianapolis, this is certainly one commitment we’ll be monitoring as Early Signing Period is roughly a month away.

I think A&M wins a close game

I foresee A&M coming together in a show of support for their coach and finally playing up to their potential. With no bowl game, a win would give them something positive heading into the off-season.

I think the visitors' offensive struggles continue, and A&M just has too much talent to let another game slip away.

Neither team will build a big lead through 3 quarters, and this game will be closer than most expect. But I see the Aggies rising to the occasion and pulling away late. Massachusetts is just terrible. The Minutemen will fight hard but just can't pull it off like App State.

Then they play LSU...
