LSU has a full cupboard of returning "Big Timers" and First Year Coach Les Miles. They have it all going on in BR....but they shoulda picked us to play last year when we couldn't buy and OOC win. No gameplan, no nothing. But, folks, times are different...we got two "Big Guns" at running back.... and that's not all. The memo has been sent to Coach Dickey. He has received it. Beginning the first game, he "has" to play to "WIN!"

Sooooo....watch out Tigers. We know you got some speed on both sides of the ball...but you'll have to stop us at the line of scrimmage because if either Super Jamario Thomas or the "Emerald Express" (Patrick Cobbs) gets past the defensive line, they're gone! Book it, Dano!

Sooo,,who's with me? GO! MEAN GREEN! it's time for a ROAD TRIP in early September!!!!!!

Anybody catch Sports Center this morning? Specifically the part where they talked about the 5 programs with the greatest chance of winning a national championship this year? Guess who was listed at #3?

To paraphrase: "Even with Les Miles laid back style, Saban left LSU SO talent rich, he should have no problem winning. With the speed at tailback, great receivers and fantastic D all LSU really needs is for their quarterback to be serviceable and they win the SEC."

I'm going to Baton Rouge for this game but I think I'll be about as happy about it as I was in Austin last year.

Heard Dave Campbell on the radio the other day, he stated that he had talked to pro scout that had viewed alot of teams during spring training and that without a doubt LSU had looked the best.

I was in BR last time and I'm going to do my best to be down there again this year. I think that a bunch of people are going to be surprised by the lack of holes in the Green this year. If the QB position works out OK, I think that our offense is going to be really impressive, and I also believe that the defensive line is going to be better than most people expect. I'm tired of predicting our future OOC performance based on past behavior. We're about due for a change.

Does anybody remember the analysis of teh secondary during spring drills? I seem to recall, whomever it was, saying that the dbs were MUCH quicker to the ball than last year.

If they're going to show significant improvement, and I am thinking they will, then things will be "better" than a lot of you are making it out to be. I'm not getting dilusional about our BR trip, but I'm over the UT game and ready to wear my green goggles once again!

Dear sir, where are you? I miss you. You were the green on my goggles, and I can never have enough of that.

Here's a little known fact:

This thread caused Katrina.

Indeed. And Rodge was preparing to run routes as a sophomore receiver in Todge's offense. It'd be cool if he puked on his way to a touchdown catch. Who knows, maybe Riley as receiver caused the hurricane which somehow played into Vizza committing to NT, WW deciding grades were important, Dodge2007 joining the board, and closed scrimmages.

As author of this thread GGII, I have decided to blame you. I demand an explanation for this Mean Green chaos.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      The problem is that boosters will always pay to get players and the Supreme Court made that legal. This will never go away. I truly believe that universities will own their team and play in leagues that features paid players, players that don’t even go to school. They’re employees. Texas could sign Vince Young to be their QB for 7 years to keep him. Same with the Aggies with Manziel. You get the idea. They’ll have coaches and GMs and be able to trade players, sign players to extensions, and develop players in minor league setups. The rest of us are the ones that have the chance to actually play amateur college sports. Players are students who play for scholarships and stipends, all of which is governed by a NCAA type entity. And I believe that there will be a market for this level of play. I believe that watching traditional college sports will get eyeballs. Even if the Power 40 play their own semi-pro league.
