LSU’s Myles Brennan returns from portal, Eli Ricks does not

Myles Brennan has announced that he is pulling his name from the transfer portal and will inside vie to be LSU’s starting quarterback. The move came after – I expect – a conversation with Brian Kelly about how bare the QB cupboard was at LSU and that he would almost certainly be the 2022 starter. He will compete with freshman Walker Howard, a five-star QB who stayed committed today the school despite Ed Orgeron’s departure. Yesterday the news broke that former All-American CB Eli Ricks had decided to move to Alabama in the transfer portal, which must have infuriated LSU fans. Ricks was out from October after smashing his shoulder, so he should start immediately for the Crimson Tide, who

Johnsons pull out of LSU

  Hot on the heels of Myles Brennan’s decision to transfer, LSU’s starting QB Max Johnson has decided to leave Baton Rouge. LSU now has one scholarship athlete on its roster – although next year the Tigers bring in 5-star QB Walker Howard, with Garrett Nussmeier also there. New coach Brian Kelly is going to have to get a transfer in, which shouldn’t seem hard bearing in mind LSU’s status. Johnson threw for 2,815 yards, 27 TDs and 6 INTs, yet was utterly medicore as a passer, finishing with a completion percentage of 60.3% (225 – 373). Despite being generally unloved by Tigers fans, Johnson won their hearts with a tremendous final drive against Texas A&M that gave departing coach

The final week….Is Rivalry Week: Week 13 SEC Predictions

Happy Thanksgiving. Finally, we’ll all be able to see each other again. We’ll crack jokes, maybe laugh a little, and try and tell ourselves that we like sweet potato pie and can definitely have two helping of Momma’s Yams. During those family reunions, cousins of different in-state college dispositions will meet up, drink far too much bourbon, and argue like children. There will be discussions of tree-poisoning, and dog-pissing. But everywhere – from internet to in-your-face- will become a cesspool of bitter collegiate football division. Those arguments will develop into fist-fights, probable divorces and definitely decisions never to go to Uncle Joe’s. Ever. Again. And elsewhere, Texas and Texas A&M – the bastions of bitching – will sit each other
