LSU Tigers (official thread)

Line foul!

 

[Nutriaitch]

so the LSU vs BYU game this weekend has been moved from Houston to New Orleans due to flooding.

now that Harvey has shifted East and is going to dump ridiculous rains on NOLA, don't be shocked if game is moved again (or possibly cancelled).

this makes 3 years in a row that an LSU game is at least moved due to storms (last two years we also had games cancelled as well as moved)

We've got a stadium that's free this weekend.

Opening on the road blues... grumble grumble.

Did either team dick around and drag shit out because they were afraid to play the other? Not that this has ever happened before....

not that i know of.

as of Saturday, the plan was to still play in Houston, but all parties we're keeping their eye shadow on this thing and making plans B through X.

i'm just kinda surprised they chose New Orleans when supposedly Orlando and Nashville offered up their services. i mean not like NOLA has any kinda flooding issues when storms pass.

Nashville will likely be getting hit right around gametime, but Orlando would have been my bet.

I guess it wouldn't be an appropriate time to suggest building college football stadiums above sea level, would it?

Don't check the water table of the Olentangy and the playing field in Ohio Stadium.

LSU naming players lounge after Tyrann Mathieu

The legacy of LSU’s Honey Badger will live on in Baton Rouge.

As reported by The Advocate, LSU is renaming its football players lounge after one of the most popular defensive players to come through the program in recent years, Tyrann Mathieu. All that is needed to make the naming of the Mathieu Players’ Lounge official is approval from the school’s board of supervisors at a meeting later this month.

Mathieu’s run at LSU came to an unfortunate end with the star battling drug issues, but his impact and devotion to the program that stood by and supported him every way possible has since been rewarded in the form of a $1 million donation to fund the football complex. Mathieu is currently in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals.

it's now been 24 hours and i have had time to sit back and digest this hire. After letting my emotions settle and looking at this with a completely open mind i've come to the following conclusion.

Joe Alleva need to be fucking fired, re-hired, publicly beaten with a wet cane pole, have the entire population off mexico [Mark May] down his throat after eating beans from that place in Corpus that nearly killed me in '07, then fired again.

we're paying Ed fucking Orgeron $1 million dollars less than the guy we refused to "overpay".

we didn't seriously pursue Jimbo Fisher.

we didn't interview a swinging dick one out side of Ed goddamn Orgeron and his binder.

HO
LEE
FUCKBALLS!

i'm from south louisiana (about 20 min from Orgeron), talk like a coonass, can cook a mean Jambalaya, love LSU, and would work cheaper than the guys who are actually good at what they do.
and i don't have an epically disastrous, hilariously inept failure on my resume.

by Alleva's logic i should have been in the running for this job.

oh never mind. he wasn't actually searching or interviewing anyone for the gig.

thanks Alleva.

i was wondering if i was going to live long enough to watch LSU lose by their widest margin ever against Miss St.

i was always curious how it felt to lose by 30 fucking points to an unranked team. Something LSU has never done in their entire history before tonight.

i'm going light myself on fire and walk through a propane plant now.

When you put it that way, I guess our loss to Oklahoma wasn't so bad

 

[Nutriaitch]

When you put it that way, I guess our loss to Oklahoma wasn't so bad

but it to you this way.

1999 was our darkest hour.
lost a school record 8 straight games en route to a 3-8 season.

that year, Miss St won 10 games for only their second time in history. they went to their one and only SEC championship game. widely regarded as their best season ever (until 2014).

they beat us by 1 that year.

their best team ever beat our worst team ever by 1 fucking point and they hung a banner because of it.

that was their only win against LSU from 1992-2013.
and the 90's was far and away the worst decade ever for LSU.


and we just lost by fucking 30 to them.

Well, you can't say you didn't see it coming. I remember your posts from last year.

 

[Nutriaitch]

Anyone actually paying attention could see it coming.

Hell, I saw it before Miles was even canned.

I thought he had run his course and it was time for a change. But I was terrified.
Programs with deeper tradition than us have fired guys with records similar to Les.
and almost across the board, the results have been disastrous.

Why? Because the best coaches out there aren't lining up for a job where the highest winning% in school history will get you fired because they don't like the "style" of the wins.

Plain and simple.

So you don't get a Fisher or a Herman.

and if you have an AD like ours, you don't even talk to any other candidates, you just settle for Ed fucking Orgeron.

and then you give him a $12 million buyout.
You know so he doesn't jump ship to any of the zero other schools that would even consider him as an option.

yes. LSU actually wrote up a contract to Ed Orgeron that pays him $3.5 mil with a $12mil buyout.
On purpose.
Then bragged about it.

Condolences.

At least old Ed didn't hire Tim Beck. He was briefly available.

That's some rough shit, man.

When you look around CFB, pretty much every program goes through a multi-year swoon at some point. We've been extremely fortunate in that aside from the death rattle of the Cooper years into Tressel's first ('99-'01), we haven't really had a significant swoon. But it makes me nervous as hell about what comes after Urban, because we're due.

*edit- I guess you could count Earle's last year along with Cooper's first five. ('87-'92), but even those years weren't as bad as some of the funks other powers have gone through.
