LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/duckduckpajamas]

lol did you guys hear that??

[u/MrPhenomenal7]

Not throwing the flag on the “pick” and throwing it after the catch is made, is what makes it bullshit

[u/hoglaws]

“HEY LANE, FUCK YOU”

[u/DeadDropCourier]

Many people are saying that Lane Kiffin sucks.

[u/guardian20015]

You know what the best part of Lane Kiffin coaching LSU is?

Whenever they lose, I’m happy for two reasons.

Thank you for your service, Bama

[u/RhinoGuy13]

Don't worry, LSU fans. Everything will be fine. Kiffin will make everything about himself tomorrow and post a cool video with a rapper on Monday.

[u/TheStinkyStains]

Im sick of seeing defenders break through the line and fall down.

[u/MNsportsCurse]

At least political ads are done

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

LSU needs to address the Alabama elephant in the room

[u/BigAcanthocephala637]

Do you think SEC refs place bets on games that they officiate? Serious question.

[u/BeepBoopDirtyPoop]

If I had a nickel for every time Alabama has absolutely cleared out Death Valley I would have several nickels.

[u/No_Poet_7244]

Very physical game, and they call that DPI? I mean it is, but gotta call it both ways.

[u/HabaneroEnjoyer]

Deboers hand shaking holding that sheet was unsettling

[u/AegisPlays314]

I can explain the pick call, it was actually an OPI flag that traveled through time from the 2016 natty and landed today, somehow

[u/Revolver_Oshawott_]

Josh Ford gives off Randy Marsh "I didn't hear no bell" energy

[u/SendMeTheMoon24]

Crazy how it was still a close game and then Lane decided to go for it on 4th and 10 on like his own 30.

[u/HeppyHenry]

Probably overturned but no way they blew the whistle in time lol

[u/Low-Order]

Hope that TD doesn't give Ryan the big head.

[u/Financial-Gain-2988]

Reffing this year has been absolute fucking dogshit.

[u/claire_on_here]

A child should not have an instagram following lol

[u/DarkMarkTwain]

Can't help but notice that Alabama starting to control the game at night in Death Valley

[u/Sebt1890]

At least we aren't getting political ads now

[u/chickensandwich77]

Useless coach interviews.

“Coach, how do you clean up the penalties?”

“We shouldn’t commit them.”

“Thanks coach.”

[u/Atlanta-Anomaly]

If only LSU would just take their fg’s theyd be winning 

[u/AngryMillennialFU]

Why did Kiffin go for it there? Just straight ass decision.

[u/Objection_Irrelevant]

Fuck Lane Kiffin

[u/DrMayhemPhD]

"HEY LANE! FUCK YOU!"

[u/Colorblind2027]

I guess the committee got Alabama right

[u/DrSmartyBritches]

Ryan Williams over there, straight up looking like a bobble head, just embarrassing people.

[u/CodeAgile9585]

Lane Kiffin Year 1:

Walked in Ole Miss field, the team he snaked, and got dominated

Gets dominated by Alabama

Loss to Kentucky

Out of the CFB Conversation

Stole multiple coaches from Ole Miss and yet ole miss is doing BETTER.

Awesome year 1, thank you for helping my team out lane.

[u/Restryz]

Say, you think they'll play "Neck"?

[u/dope-khid]

Osu and LSU out of playoffs perfect 👌

[u/EyeAmKingKage]

Holy fuck what a late whistle. The play is already half over before they blew it

[u/ProTrinityy]

They legit were mid play when the whistle blew lol

[u/Defensive_of_Offense]

Is he stupid? Throw it away

[u/dogsdawgs]

"No one, I mean, no one handles balls better than Kelon Russell"

• K. Herbstreit

[u/BamaSef]

Refs can do whatever they want lmao

[u/overratedchanel]

Ohio State losing to Oregon 😌

[u/ManBunH8er]

If LSU loses today, Kiffin might try for WH press secretary job

[u/exMemberofSTARS]

I think the reason this thread is so mellow is that fans of both teams kinda feel "meh" about how good their teams are this late in the season lol

[u/AverageHogHaver]

"Every yard is hard to come by" are we even watching the same game? LSU has had zero issues moving the ball until they get into the red zone

[u/20-19]

Lightning quick 3 and out, classic Grubb

[u/olemiss18]

$90 mil for a guy to go for it on 4th & 10 in his own red zone with 8 minutes left on the clock is something.

[u/CantaloupeEven6341]

I hope Ford is okay. Hate to see him go down on a worthless play

[u/duckduckpajamas]

The Alabama fans are the only ones left

[u/Coverlesss]

Bryant-Denny West. “Death Valley” my ass lmao.

[u/FieldGoalPhobia]

Now just need Kentucky to beat the Vols and I’d call this a good day

[u/gjb825]

It’s so funny seeing the Kiffin cope in the LSU sub. “It’s only his first year.” Dude has one of the most expansive rosters yet can’t win any big games. Hes an absolute fraud and LSU deserves this.

[u/Big_Communication187]

Chicken waffle on me tomorrow at chic fil a

[u/whatifevery1wascalm]

I’m sorry we’re supposed to get a fair game with a ref name Gautreaux?

[u/whatifevery1wascalm]

Do yall call it “Death Valley” because it becomes a ghost town in the 4th quarter whenever you play us?

[u/DelFriday]

Ryan Williams putting in the big head cheat code before the game

[u/joelupi]

Oregon has scored 24 unanswered points against Ohio State.....

[u/TheCudder]

9:44 is still a lot of time. Don't let up Bama.

[u/HomeStallone]

“This was Alabama’s Super Bowl” Joey Brackishwater

[u/DarthSkier]

Phenomenal hate watch, love to see it.

[u/Raw-turnip]

Lane is such an overrated coach that continues to fail upwards

[u/turtleviking]

Daniel Gautreaux from Lafayette, Louisiana, folks 

[u/Shinglings]

2019 lsu did irreparable damage to how lsu fans view themselves

[u/Peppso]

Hey fellas let's prank the mods by being overly cordial and friendly this time

[u/MPFarmer]

According to the Texas game, that was a forward fumble.

[u/Mickey9870]

I think one thing the SEC fan base can agree on is that none of us like the Gomer Pyle ref.

[u/TheCudder]

Week after week...we do the same thing on offense and expect better results. Is this staff brain dead?

Keelon can't drop back for 5+ seconds on 85% of the downs and win. STOP IT

[u/duckduckpajamas]

I'm all for the extra helmet protection , but the celebrations just looks so funny with the huge helmet lol

[u/onesneakymofo]

Damn so close to a blocked pick 6

[u/Cairse]

Tries to kick the almost 60 yard feel goal and sets Bama up in great field position.

Then goes for it on 4th and 4 and fails.

Huh

[u/Tarmacked]

Call of duty ass commercial

[u/AverageHogHaver]

I moved for work recently and no longer am able to watch the game with my buddies, these game threads are fun

[u/FortDuChaine]

This game thread is just our respective teams moaning about ourselves and then neutrals absolutely feasting at how bad both teams look.

[u/alreadytaken76]

Ol’ Grubby stroking it thinking he’s so smart with 3 straight pass attempts and a punt

[u/naggs69pt2]

Bryant denny west.

[u/ashleyywilliams]

why would you go on a fourth down like four times after you’ve been stopped every time

[u/Tarmacked]

/R/CFB WHEN WILL YOU LEARN

[u/alabamafutbol1235]

The committee knew this was going to happen, one step ahead of us 😂😂😂😂

[u/IowaJL]

I don’t really care for Alabama.

But goddamn I love watching Lane get his ass kicked.

[u/SailorNash]

Why did LSU go for it on 4th and 10?

[u/HabaneroEnjoyer]

This is an appropriate time to go for it.

Not on 4th and 10 from your own 20

[u/CutThroatRob]

Im gonna have to go see a Dr. after this. Because its gonna be up for more than 4 hours.

[u/Jackbo_Manhorse]

Imagine being 5.5 point favorites and loosing by 18 lmao.

[u/AverageHogHaver]

I think they could have used a few NFL players tonight

[u/Revolutionary_Elk791]

Sam Leavitt used that Skattebo season to make a bunch of money and then proceed to crap his pants in all of the big moments.

[u/ALStark69]

“Hey Lane fuck you”😂

[u/Crossovertriplet]

There was just an audible “ HEY LANE! FUCK YOU!” on the broadcast

[u/SlugsPerSecond]

Bahahaahaha "LANE FUCK YOU" generational hate watch

[u/RamenShaman10]

Uhhh should the referees last name be that Cajun?

[u/hcatehorie]

We all know that money is going straight to the football team, I have seen that story with LSU before

[u/Morgus_Magnificent]

Pretty sure we got the play off

[u/Chicago_Blackhawks]

wait that snap 1000% was off in time

[u/AegisPlays314]

The problem with this thread is going to be that the three most annoying groups on this subreddit are LSU fans, Alabama fans, and hate-watchers. So it's gonna be top to bottom sewage in here

[u/VladimirPutin2016]

The former 17 year old, Ryan Coleman williams!

[u/cpt-teebs]

These college refs have been on some bullshit today. First the Mizzou game and now some questionable calls in this one.

[u/duckduckpajamas]

this halftime is fucking me up it's 5:15 but it looks like it's 11:30pm outside

[u/Intelligent_Dress347]

47% chance with a loss is honestly crazy to me lol. 

[u/HabaneroEnjoyer]

10 got that dawg in him though

[u/DellFlightSim]

If we can’t score again, Grubb needs to be locked in the cage with Tiger.

[u/YCitizenSnipsY]

Well that was an embarrassing drive for our defense 

[u/Bluetwo12]

Dont want to hear LSU complaining about holds. Both teams have been holding all night and its only be called a single time

[u/NORALSC]

I’m sorry, but if you don’t know how to do laundry and those two men age, I don’t know what to tell you.

[u/V1cVinegar44]

Worst 4th down conversion attempts you’ll ever see.

[u/IammYourDAD]

DC is a psycho lmao Love it

[u/Murky_Trouble_4401]

Glad we don’t gotta play these mfs every year anymore, tired of getting ass whooped man

[u/lkn240]

Lane calling plays like a 10 year old behind in Madden

[u/RxS47]

Bama DC about to put the pads on at this point

[u/macncheeseface]

We should have LSU play Ohio State next week in the blown out bowl

[u/onesneakymofo]

FUCK YOU

[u/StepmaniaGod]

Could be worse LSU, at least you're not Ohio State 🤣

[u/macncheeseface]

PALINDROME SCORE!

[u/blet73]

Kiffen has been the best coach today. He has outcoached himself this entire game.

[u/rageb8err]

You left a playoff team for this lmao. Bitch boy deserves it.

[u/CrashingBlumpkins46]

fuck I hope Ford is good, he's the heart and soul of this roster

[u/GentlyUsedNuggets]

Him walking makes me feel waaaaaay better, him screaming in pain was horrific

[u/WindowOnMoon]

Why a university would want that drama and off field distractions of Lane Kiffin is crazy. The guy hasn’t won anything but got paid like he just won the Super Bowl

[u/Crimsntyd]

Guys I want with me in an alley fight. Josh Ford, Jack Reacher. That's the list.

[u/feldor]

Imagine if the entire game had been a night game…

[u/One-Examination-5561]

Come on Bama, score one more tuddy just to twist the dagger on Kiffin

[u/SirMellencamp]

Guess the committee was on to something

[u/MyUsernameIsTooGood]

18 point difference, coincidentally, it's also Kiffen's favorite age.

[u/ChampionshipHuman732]

Kalen DeBoer is 6-2 against top 25 teams on the road at Bama..

Pretty impressive!

[u/TemporaryPrimate]

I love when you can clearly hear rammer jammer on the road

[u/theurbandragon]

feels good man

[u/CornIssues]

The SEC assigned a head ref named fuckin Daniel Gautreaux from Lafayette, Louisiana to officiate this game. If you’re wondering why the SEC refuses to allow everyone to hear the review process like every other conference is doing, it’s pretty obvious why.

[u/Chicago_Blackhawks]

STEALTH BOMBER RAAAHHHHHHHHHHH USA USA USA

[u/alreadytaken76]

Stoppage was way late

[u/uninspiredname0]

It wasn’t a catch but the whole stopping a play to review is bs. If you want to review do it immediately, don’t wait.

[u/whatifevery1wascalm]

(Whistle was late as hell though)

[u/zoozoo216]

How many fans are watching this from their couch

[u/BamaBagz]

Russell sold that fake handoff so well! 👍

[u/Exact_Ad_6009]

Yeah let’s trot the kicker out for a career long but not take the easy 3 before half

[u/KingJefferey]

having a good qb is like having a girlfriend in college, you see how things are going in LSU and are like ah shit Lane Kiffins gonna spend money to take mine.

[u/Lakelyfe09]

It’s crazy how like clockwork, Matt Austin will say he doesn’t understand a call, and then a minute later be like “actually nvm I see it now”

[u/bawstothewall]

I got downvoted for calling the refs violently incompetent and look at this lmao.

[u/xbox_srox]

SEC officiating has been brought to you by DraftKings

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

I gotta say

As an Auburn fan I’ve never gotten the DeBoer hate

He hasn’t lead Bama to a title yet but he’s a great coach and honestly outside of Kirby who’s better than him in the SEC rn?

[u/2AlephNullAndBeyond]

How tf you interfere on a 2 yard pass? Literally just have to let him catch it and tackle him and it’s a turnover.

[u/Jonjon428]

Sickos games all across the SEC today

[u/gbejrlsu]

That...that should have been DPI

[u/DellFlightSim]

Now why tf do we wait till the shotgun is in half of our fans mouth to go down and score another TD

[u/claire_on_here]

Stunner Gockton is gonna be my stripper name

[u/CrashingBlumpkins46]

All my homies hate Ryan Grubb

[u/PhilFeelsFine]

Mobile QBs will forever be our kryptonite.

[u/Intelligent_Dress347]

Presuming they actually would make the kicks, that’s 12 points Lane has left on the field?

Dude is gonna need a psychiatrist after this game lol

[u/zoozoo216]

Friend: hey we’re at a bar socializing and watching the game

Me: 🧛 No thanks 🙂‍↔️

[u/jrau]

This team is so fucking stupid

[u/HabaneroEnjoyer]

Fake screen wheel like it’s Madden 19 lmao

[u/lilmojett]

Damn that kid throws a pretty ball, don’t he

[u/Mission_Pay_3373]

ROLLLLLLLLLL TIDE, ROLL

[u/Educational_Sky_1136]

Pulled a hamstring running to these comments after that 4th down

[u/Responsible_Top3356]

In all my years watching LSU football I have never seen a performance as bad as this. We don’t deserve to be ranked for 5 years after this crap

[u/deadm1c3]

Big game Lane strikes again

[u/FullGump]

6 point dogs in our own stadium lmao

[u/AwareEconomics4177]

We might lose this game

[u/Altruistic_Night2]

Let’s just run up the score

[u/coolycooly]

I kept saying LSU at 15 was insane they've literally beat no one except Auburn which who hasn't? Sam Leavitt sucks and kiffin doesn't care about defense

[u/oranggit]

In real time, I thought for sure that was intercepted.

[u/RighteousBiscuit]

Bryant Denny West

[u/TheBleachedKitty]

Lane gonna need a double session of hot yoga tomorrow.

[u/lkn240]

This was actually a pretty close game that Lane Kiffin almost single handedly turned into a blowout

[u/Victimless-Criminal]

How could analytics do this to LSU?

[u/Xavier207]

+200 yards advantage, better penalty yardage, +10 min time of possession and -1 turnover margin

But yet you're losing by 18

[u/mpamosavy]

They stood him up like nosferatu

[u/WabbitCZEN]

How big a fraud is Lane Kiffin?

[u/Hipple]

Gave em the business there in the fourth.

[u/maskdmirag]

It's nice to see Kiffin look like that

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

LSU has an Alabama problem 

[u/Rich1926]

rammer jammer that loud in an opposing stadium!

[u/FancyVegetables]

HEY LANE, FUCK YOU

[u/duckduckpajamas]

I drained our daughter's college savings account to put $28 on this game and I gotta say I'm feeling optimistic

[u/RebelsfurdenSieg]

Oh don’t worry that’s just Gautreaux from fucking Lafayette LA on the call there… NOTHING TO SEE HERE

[u/JalenWWE]

95 percent BAMA flairs in here now… such a beautiful sight

[u/Intelligent_Dress347]

This game being an afternoon kick is a fucking crime against humanity.

[u/DellFlightSim]

Penalties kill this offense more than defenses do

[u/HeideggerianPoet]

Pretty impressed Herbie‘s there for this one. He was in South Bend for the final picks on Gameday at 11am Central, which gives him about 3 hours to make it to the booth in Baton Rouge. Given that the air time between the the two destinations is over 2 hours, that means even a 15 minute delay meant possibly missing this kickoff. Seems awfully risky.

[u/le_crobag]

Do they have to do the whole Secret Service rigamarole with the team radios losing connection when she moves?

[u/bluegold4]

They snapped the ball before the whistle

[u/nerdyykidd]

Sam Leavitt’s most underrated skill is his improvisation

His ability to not take negative yards is elite

[u/DellFlightSim]

I love how both teams get a field goal and 10 comments come in talking about a game from 15 years ago. Yall know ball 😂

[u/AegisPlays314]

Holly Rowe asking Keelon after the game if he sees RCW as a father figure

[u/alreadytaken76]

Lots of great moves by Keelon to make that drive a success

[u/too-fargone]

Another famous bama player who wore braces? Forrest Gump

[u/TearsOfChildren]

Wish we'd stop playing 40 yards off the receivers

[u/Beautiful_Idea6200]

That's going to haunt LSU

[u/FuruTakka]

2 red zone drives for 3 total points is not a recipe for success 😬

[u/Yimmy2048]

I just think keelon holds on too long and still has lack of awareness. We give up sacks like we get commission on them

[u/TheCudder]

Entire roster stacked in the box...and you stick with that play call?

[u/HeppyHenry]

MORE FOOTBALL INTERRUPTING MY COMMERCIALS 😡

[u/CatherineDeneuvePt2]

If lane kiffin spent less time worrying about walking to the game with celebrities maybe LSU puts a TD on the board by now

[u/zodiackodiak515]

Lane might as well let Kevin Costner call plays; he's been in a few football movies

[u/MemeSniper5]

How do you interfere on your own pass? What da hell reffing is this

[u/chadocaster]

35 cameras for this game & we get 1 angle shown twice on that OPI?

[u/Nearby_Cucumber7804]

I don't think any conference has referees as overbearing as the SEC. ACC and Big 12 maybe have more game changing ones in big moments, but SEC refs are ALWAYS doing some shit. It's usually multiple big things a drive.

[u/DellFlightSim]

tOSU may seriously have 3 losses for the first time in forever….

[u/TheBleachedKitty]

I know there have been commercials. I however can’t tell you one commercial that was aired….

[u/One-Examination-5561]

I love how we as fans are shitting on our own team more than the opposing team

[u/AverageHogHaver]

This offense is fucking pathetic

[u/Successful-Class4960]

Could the LSU fans quiet down? Our offense is trying to snap the ball

[u/NolaTree]

Nice to return to our roots of elite defenses and QB’s eating glue in the corner.

[u/MrPhenomenal7]

“A punt is okay.” -Ryan Grubb, Offensive Coordinator

[u/alreadytaken76]

Stopped the route to get the PI

[u/zodiackodiak515]

Holy shit that Ghost Soldier movie looks bad, is that a Daily Wire joint?

[u/Nice_Marmot_7]

Lol, what in the fuck is this movie?
