Texas is a mess because the boosters run the program. As long as that continues, they won’t be what they should be. They may have an occasional year because of talent, but the losing has diminished even that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know Texas borders Louisiana, right?.....and WE will always get a couple or 3 from Texas. Quit trying so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t go OOS for what you can get at home. 10 studs over 4 years can have a huge impact on a program. And 37 is 30% of the Louisiana number over the same time - hardly a drop in the bucket.

We have 10 spots left give or take a couple........My best guess is we pick up a couple Texans. If that's the way it works out that's the way it works out. We do VERY WELL in Georgia and Florida too and we are killing Louisiana this year. https://247sports.com/college/lsu/Season/2022-Football/Commits/ LSU is a National Brand now and recruits nationally as well as anyone.....Coach 0 is not a lazy recruiter like some before him here.

A combined 3-10-2 vs the 2 best teams in the big 12. And they’d be 3-3-1 if they played again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 The only thing that concerns me is keeping Alabama and Saban out of Louisiana.......that bothers me a little, but there is nothing I or anyone can do about it. Just the way it is. ..2 more this year committed to Alabama from the Bayou. It's not uncommon for Alabama to have 5 or 6 starters from Louisiana any given year. These are players that are being drafted and drafted early. This year I believe 4-5 Alabama starters will be from Louisiana. Check it out.

Everything they touched recently has turned to lead. They joined the Big 12 and blew it up, the Longhorn Network has been a dud. One year recently they had no players picked in the NFL draft - this is TEXAS we are talking about. The people running the show now don’t seem very smart.

Texas is loaded with money. The SEC better remember what they did to the Big 12 though. There are programs that may not want Texas to join, but if the power structure wants it, hard to see it stopped. Money talks … loudly.

HawgGoneIt Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 If the SEC keeps letting these washed up programs in, they're gonna get worse watered down than they already are with the addition of Mizzou.

Like Missouri did when they joined the SEC and almost immediately won two East Division titles? Give us all a break with this mythology crap. They will join the league and immediately be better than Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Arkansas and Missouri. Then all that's left is LSU who may be in the tank by then. An 8-5 Texas played the best LSU team of all-time and only lost by a touchdown. Oklahoma has beaten Alabama, Auburn and Florida in bowl games over the last 8 seasons. Oklahoma and Texas will be perennial SEC Championship contenders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 This makes me think of the movie Demolition Man. In the future on that movie all restaurants became Taco Bell. All college football is going to become the SEC. Instead of saying I went and watched a college game people will say they went to the SEC game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
