LSU violates the 11th Commandment:

     Thou shall not get thy butts whipped by a bunch of California pretty boys on national TV.


They might as well fire Brian Kelly now instead of waiting until the end of the year.

It was a good game Hoodat... Whooped is what the Bulldogs did to Clemson. After seeing one of the thugs on LSU do a hand gun shot towards the USC player, I didn't care to see LSU win anyways. I despise trash players. Including those on my own team (Auburn) that do celebrations after scoring, to me it should still be a penalty.

Apparently, Kelly is a Democrat. Not sure whether changing his political views would improve his coaching, though. :laugh:

@NickAdamsinUSA
Democrats don't know anything about football or winning.
Brian Kelly was a TERRIBLE hire for LSU.
Deep red Louisiana deserves a full throated Trump supporting alpha male head coach.

Well there's your problem right there.  I was shocked when LSU hired him.  Couldn't understand that move at all.

LSU has lost their opening game each year under Kelly.  And his play calling last night was subpar.  When he lost to FSU in Week 1 last year, he blamed the players.  We'll see what he does this week.  One thing is for sure though, LSU isn't going to continue paying Kelly $9 million per year for losing to Alabama and Ole Miss.

Normally, I will root for any SEC team (other than Georgia) against a non-SEC opponent.  Heck, I was actually pulling for Florida over Miami.  But I agree.  The hand-gun-shot thing is totally unacceptable, and it traces back to the coach.

Here's a shoutout to Roydell Williams, Shawn Murphy, T. J. Ferguson, and Earl Little II.  Five former Alabama football players who entered the transfer portal to play for Florida State in 2024.

I'd say Notre Dame losing to Northern Illinois is even a bigger one.  ND had a 99.3% chance to win game on betting odds

You and I will be on opposite sides Oct 19 in Austin. @Hoodat

Better bring your A game instead of what Michigan did today.
