LSU Tigers (official thread)

Scott Rabalais: LSU, Brian Kelly getting ridiculed right now. There's only one way to change that.

Even Kelly, at his weekly news conference Tuesday, inadvertently poked at his new program's current state of play.

“We’ve got to play four quarters of LSU football and execute better,” Kelly said.

Actually, coach, the way your team played Sunday night looked very much like LSU’s brand of football circa 2020 and 2021. The Tigers are now a combined 11-13 since their last trip to the Superdome where they beat Clemson in the CFP national championship game. They again looked about as far away from that level of play as you could possibly be with lots of poor tackling, struggling blocking and, of course, about a decade’s worth of special teams meltdowns.

Kelly was hired to fix all of that. That was the $100 million bet by athletic director Scott Woodward, LSU president William Tate IV and the entire school.

NCAA places LSU football on probation, accepts school's self-imposed penalties over recruiting violations

The NCAA placed LSU's football program on one year of probation and issued a three-year show cause against a former assistant coach, who it says admitted to meeting with a prospect and giving him team gear during a COVID-19 recruiting dead period.

The Tigers said they fired offensive line coach James Cregg for cause in June 2021 after he admitted to violating NCAA rules. On Aug. 25, a Louisiana judge awarded him nearly $500,000 after ruling that LSU had terminated his contract without cause. At the time, the university said it planned to appeal the judge's ruling.

In addition to the probation, LSU had already self-imposed a $5,000 fine, a one-week prohibition in recruiting communication and unofficial visits, and reductions in official visits and evaluation days.

LSU said in a statement: "Today's decision of the NCAA's Committee on Infractions involving a former LSU assistant football coach concludes a 21-month cooperative process between the University and the NCAA. Throughout this process, the University has worked in concert with the enforcement staff to determine the truth and to self-impose sanctions. We are grateful to the Committee and the enforcement staff for their work and for accepting our self-imposed penalties, and we are pleased to be able to move forward as an institution and as a football program. LSU continues to work through the IARP process regarding other allegations of rule violations."

While the violations were not major in nature, the timing of them during the pandemic was of significant concern to the NCAA's investigation.

"Although the [committee] has encountered more egregious conduct in past cases, the violations in this case represent intentional misconduct that should be of concern to the membership," the NCAA Committee on Infractions panel said in its decision. "The COVID-19 recruiting dead period was intended to protect the health and safety of prospects, student-athletes and institutional staff. It also leveled the playing field for recruiting at a time when government-imposed COVID-19 restrictions varied across the country."

for those that don’t pay attention to the tropics:
there is a potential storm brewing out there.

waaaaaaaay too early to predict a landfall point, date, time, etc.

HOWEVER, one of the more recent models have it making landfall on October 1 on the Florida panhandle.
about 150 miles south of Auburn, AL. Roughly 14 hours before the LSU/Auburn. Tropical Storm/Category 1 type conditions around the Auburn area.

you have a week and a half.

please start having discussions about contingency plans right now.

you don’t have to make a decision right now.
just have multiple options available and ready in the event they are needed.

there is no reason for a repeat of that bullshit Florida pulled in 2016 to ever happen again.

May I suggest Lincoln, NE? They play at home that night but let's be honest, they don't really utilize that stadium properly anyways. I am sure you could bump them to the noon slot.
