Yeah. Of the major programs that are not us, LSU is easily the most fun. Their fans, their stadium, their old-school uniform. Just their whole slightly-unhinged vibe (compared with, say, buttoned-up evil empire Alabama).
BK aside, they’ve always been my preferred SEC team.

I’m not sure I understand or agree with that assessment at all. LSU is an extremely fun and boisterous fun group then to double down with those three?

Boise State with their offense and Ashton Jeanty is electric. Arizona and their offense with McMillian is extremely fun to watch. Vandy is fun bc they have an extremely athletic QB in Pavia and the story of their potential turnaround.

Super “fun” LSU just scored 20 points and lost to SC.

I’ve just always had great interactions with them. Extremely generous and fun people. Ive always heard horror stories, but truthfully, that’s more geared toward the Penn States, Ohio States, and such.

I went down there when I was in college in 1997 or 1998. We won in a freezing Death Valley. At the tailgates, which are the best ever, my cup and plate were kept filled to the brim. I had a lot of fun partying with them before and after the Music City Bowl too. The women are insanely attractive if you’re into the tan skin, brunette, dark eyed look.

I guess I meant the team itself and not the people. I’d probably change my assessment of if had a chance to interact with their fanbase.

SC's defense looked fast and physical. Lots can change between now and then but that looking like it may be a serious game. Didn't watch beyond 3rd quarter but was impressed with their new QB too.

Going to LSU for a game is an absolute must. Great people who will fill your plate, fill your cup, treat you like family, and wish you well as you depart. I do my fair share of hating on the Tigers but the people are golden.

USC looked much better, but this was their season opener on national TV so the expected level of play isn’t surprising. Let’s see how they look about midseason after playing in the B1G.

The defense was flying around like a Petey team.

Don't care one way or the other about anyone else. Although I don't hate them, I wish ND played Michigan State like every other year. That's about it.

I thought LSU looked good on defense and their offense showed promise but stalled out. Nussmeier's bounced pass on 2nd down in the RZ was a killer. They needed the clock to bleed and it might've been a TD which puts the pressure back on USC.

USC looked excellent compared to last year. I though their defense looked vastly improved and Miller Moss is a killer. Some of his throws under duress were unreal. USC won that game more than Kelly lost it. This is from someone who loves to see Kelly's face pushed into his messes.

Diaco running his hands through his hair on the sidelines after the targeting call gave me some serious 'werewolves' flashbacks.

I disagree a bit. LSU was in control for most of the second half and the better part of the fourth quarter and gave it away with a bunch of unforced errors and penalties. USC was able to capitalize on them.

Some big plays in the passing game and a couple of critical PI’s against LSU were the difference for USC.

I think that’s overstating it a bit. They gave up over 400 yards of total offense and they didn't record any sacks.

They did look better than the past couple years particularly the tackling by the secondary.

Brian Kelly and Dabo Swinney seem like a couple of people who think very highly of themselves yet in reality got to where they are because of the work, intelligence and talent of sooooooooo many other people. Two dudes that get high on their own supply and are very full of themselves. When it all comes crashing down, they'll get their big buyouts and will be just fine, but it'll be fun to see it.
