No money in the travel budget for anywhere else.

Has it been confirmed that Coach O is actually human, and not a neatly shaved bear in a headset?

Just viewed the photo on espn of the inside of the Mercedes Benz Superdome, and reflect upon how awful it was after it was breached by the hurricane when it was used as a storm shelter by those who had no where else to go. 

I thought then it would not be useable again. Plumbers are great! Remediators are great! And, now, LSU is great!

But, I am still thinking the SEC officiating team eliminated the best football team in 2019-20 college football.

Stop thinking that. The best team hoisted the trophy.

Yeah....the first 1 seed to win the playoff, and we're poo-pooing it because of refs.  Good grief.

Yes what a great season for LSU. They were not going to be denied by anybody. Very impressive. Actually I was also impressed by Clemson because even though they were out manned and they never really gave up.

If LSU hangs on here they will have 5 wins over teams who will finish top 10. Clemson, OU, Bama, UGA, and UF. That doesn’t include wins over Texas, TAMU, and Auburn.

That’s as tough a schedule as I can ever remember.
Absolutely - enjoy it because w/o Burrow they'll be back down to earth soon enough.Maybe some of their home grown guys will stay put

While I believe that Ohio State should probably beat Clemson 6-7 times out of 10 this year, they'd probably win about 3 against LSU.  That nut was just too tough to crack.  Even a fully-loaded Bama couldn't do it.

If there was a defining drive it had to the last minute of the 1st half.LSU up 21-17 and JB had that nice I dunno 20 yd run and get out of bounds in the red zone and next he throws a TD with 14 seconds left.Also in the 3rd QTR with LSU up 28-25 Clemson LB gets kicked out for H2H and LSU scores not long after.You could hear wind going out of their sails

Yeah, they allowed a 3rd & 19 conversion on that drive before half.

I think they'll continue to be very good, but they certainly did catch lightning in a bottle this season.  I'm glad that Burrow will be gone before we have to play them in Baton Rouge in September.    Not sure how many of those outstanding WRs are moving on, but I hope it's ALL of them. :)

I like and can appreciate the talent of borrow. However, much of his success was coaching. 

Its not common coaches allow their QBs to sling like that even of they can... The coaches generally mitigate risk.  A player cocky enough are a dime a dozen if left to their own devices but a coach isn't. 

I wager another will emerge and almost as good as burrow was. But man, that kid was magnificent, and those receivers played just as hungry... The entire team played hard and above their station on paper. That, y'all, is coaching as much as talent.
