LSU vs USC SUDDENLY has my interest...

[WillisWG]

Butch Jones might have won that one. lol

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Stay tuned if LSU wins. Might change it to Ruth’s Chris

$5 Biggie Bag it is

 

[Boston Vol]

USC certainly got more physical in the off-season.

Thread titles at Tigger droppings are instant classics

Loser U has lost season opener 5 straight years

Just like the video in this thread, that was really a good back and forth to watch.

That dude Kelly really is Butch Jones

He's like Butch's spirit animal brother.

Thought both teams were much improved from last year, especially USC.

BK is now 0-3 in season openers at LSU, and all have been these neutral site games against ranked teams.

He's literally Butch's football daddy.

You know i remember fondly chasing those bastards out of their own stadium when we played them.

I sure do wish Butch went 20-8 here in his first 28 games.

But Butch Jones with enough talent to mask his deficiencies. LSU is indeed a lot like Tennessee though in another way; three absolute loser coaches in a row hobbling a great program. If LSU ever gets a top rate coach; they will shake up the football world; but Brian Kelly ain’t it

With the talent Kelly has to work with; Butch might have done it

Kelly had a bit more to work with though.

They don't need a top rate coach to win titles. They played for 3 titles and won 2 with Les Miles and Ed Orgeron, and that 2019 team with O might have been the single greatest offensive season in CFB history.

LSU is probably the best the best coaching job in the country.

Now imagine Heupel with the talent Butch had that one year.

 

[brockytop]

Few things warm my heart as much as watching Brian Kelly lose. He’s the biggest coaching fraud in college football.

 

[OrangeTsar]

LOL well Tennessee is going up in the rankings for sure

I am definitely not going to get overly excited by polls in week 1. Now if we come out of Oklahoma 4 and 0; then the polls will start to mean something. And then we better as heck boat race Napier and Florida

Now imagine Heupel with the talent Butch had that one year.

If Heupel was here in 2016, Tennessee would have gone 11-1, at least played for the SEC title, and either Dobbs or Kamara would have been in NYC. It would have been an electric season.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Now imagine Heupel with the talent Butch had that one year.

First string yes. But Heupel i think had added depth which can make all the difference in the SEC. Butch’s teams began to fall apart after a few injuries.

Oh I agree, polls mean basically nothing at this point.

But hey, it’s nice to see Tennessee rise in the rankings. Especially over teams we should have been ranked over in the first place
