Talking about how Missouri got a tough draw with Bama and LSU from the west, and he said, “I’m not worried about LSU this year”...

I asked why and he said, “they lost like three quarters of their team”

I love how absolutely slept on this team is.

LSU does lose a lot of production, leaving us at number 124 on returning production in CFB.

But Missouri is 100th

They lost about as much as we did

I mean.... he's a Missouri fan. He should worry about literally every team in the SEC.

He shouldn't be worried. Why worry about a game that you know you're going to lose? That's just another thing to be stressed about.

If he truly isn't worried, make a bet with him on the game and rake in some easy cash.

We've been through high turnover/attrition many many times before. The things you do for such are not alien to LSU's staff.

We saw it not hurt, hurt moderately, and hurt alot various times with Les. Sometimes the turnover happened to Les after a great year, sometimes after an average year. He had to face it in both directions, on incline and decline. I can't help but remember the 2011 season was supposed to be a down year because of losses but the experience of some of the players in 2010 (e.g. Honey Badger, Ware) turned a negative into a positive.

However, this will be, obviously, Orgeron's first high turnover year following an incline/great year. I sort of see it as the last checkbox on the "Coach-O-Meter" for him and how he handles following this year with last. It's obvious he won't be able to match 2019... but how far does the pendulum swing is that metric.

I think CEO is going to surprise people when LSU's pendulum doesn't swing back the other way as far their team's would be such as a 7-5 season after winning the East.

The nation is in for a rude awakening. This ain’t like the old days where we have enough players for a one year run and are decimated. We’re plugging in elite talent at almost all positions of loss. We also got 3/4 best players back from last year’s team.

Still amazes me that Missouri is thought to be a southern state?

you do realize a mizzou fan can tell you anything he wants whether he believes it or not? he is never going to be a die hard fan bc he knows they will never win anything significant. so of course he said that, thats all he can do.

when we roll them, he'll just say, dude were missouri.

if they somehow pull off a miracle that he never truly believed would happen, then he gets to say I told you so.

It’s as if people really think LSU is a one and done type of team. We’re a top 5 program in the country. We compete for national titles every single year and can make a big run at anytime

I think their coach has done a good job of creating some off-season/social media buzz especially locally on the recruiting trail.

All that won't mean jack shite when we kick the ball off and start punching them in the face. I think coach Drink has a shot to win some games at mizzou, but it's going to take a little while.

If this was LSU's worst team in the last 2 decades they'd still be favored over Mizzou!

We could make a team up of all of our B-list recruits who didn't quite get an offer from LSU and we'd STILL beat the f*ck out of Missouri.
