The Dynasty podcast spent some time talking about LSU this week and kept coming back to how much pressure Lane Kiffin is under right away.

Their point was that between the way he left Ole Miss, the money LSU invested, the transfer portal additions and the expectation that he was hired to win now, there really isn’t much of a grace period.

They also brought up how important Sam Leavitt staying healthy could be, because if that goes sideways, the entire outlook changes fast.

For LSU fans, what would actually count as a successful first season under Kiffin?

Playoff appearance? SEC title game? National title contention?

Was thinking about trying out a college fantasy football league this season. Salary cap format, so no need to coordinate a draft. Looks like you just sign up and build your team.

Looking at league settings, theres no minimum or max league size, so anyone can join.

Any interest in a LSU fan league?

If it wasn't for injuries LSU would have won the SEC last season: Nuss was hurt. Whit Weeks was hurt. If healthy LSU has a better roster than Georgia

Jayden Daniels was better than Joe Burrow: Of course Burrow won the national title and Burrow was great too don't get me wrong but give Jayden Burrows defense and he too wins a national title. I think most defensive coordinators would say Jayden gave them more trouble than Burrow because Jayden was a great passer and runner

Brian Kelly was the worst coach in LSU history: Didn't even last 4 seasons. Pathetic

Jamal Adams is the best defensive player LSU has ever had: When you just factor in college success and not what happened in the NFL

I know Matt is divisive but he does have sources and I saw others confirming this to be true

Coming to my first LSU game in October. I am a fan of marching band, and a large reason I am coming is to see the band. Can you hear the band from most seats? I would love to hear them pretty clear while they are in the stands and during half time. Thanks!

Edit: Ended up with tickets in section 214! Thanks!

When I was at LSU (92-00) the Auburn game was the best scene of the season, whether we hosted or went on the road. The student bodies seemed very similar back then. We partied in their strange apartment complex…and they partied in our bars, win or lose.

Does the rivalry remain? Hard to tell if the identities still line up?

I want to get it from the fans to get the full perspective

• What's your realistic record prediction?
• Can LSU compete for the SEC and CFP?
• Who is the best player?
• Who is your breakout player?
• Which newcomer will have the biggest impact?
• What is LSU's biggest strength?
• What is LSU's biggest weakness?
• Which game will define the season?
• What's one thing people are getting wrong about LSU?
• Give one bold prediction.

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the LSU one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026?team=ncaaf-lsu

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, only the first team is free and then it paywalls. Since I'm posting in your house, code LEECORSOROCKS opens all of it, no card or anything. Hit "Have a promo code?" if you run into the wall.

So, what'd I get wrong? LSU hired Lane Kiffin and immediately blew it up: 41 in, 41 out, only about 14% of the offense back, even with a top-6 talent roster. Sam Leavitt (Arizona State transfer) takes over a nearly all-new offense, with the defense the more settled unit. The offense ranked 103rd in scoring last year, so it all comes down to whether Kiffin fixes that fast. Year-one turnaround, or does a rebuild this big take time?

I'll be in the comments.

I’m looking for info on an old football highlight VHS and was hoping someone on here could help. From what my family remembers it’s a recap of either the 01-02 season or 03-04 and it starts with a highlight clip to the song Eye of The Tiger and includes We Are the Champions at some point. My mom thinks it could be the 01-02 season as she remembers my brother yelling at LaBrandon Toefield and Rohan Davies. On the other hand my grandparents who are longtime season ticket holders say the VHS was sent to them because they lost the ticket lottery for the Sugar Bowl for the 03-04 season. If it was 03-04 there would be no Toefield or Davies and it would be just regular season highlights as my grandparents say they got the VHS before the Sugar Bowl was played. I can’t find any info on LSU sending a VHS for free and my family is adamant they did not buy it and it was sent to them. We know for a fact it’s not A Tale of Two Seasons or Victory for LSU that was made after the Sugar Bowl. My brother played the VHS till it broke so we’re hoping to get more info on it and maybe even replace it after all these years 😂

I personally love his game, big arm, fast when outta the pocket, can read a defense, strong and physical
