Nobody watching the Bloodbath Bowl? (Texas Bowl: K State v. LSU)

[Tidewater]

A short-handed LSU (something like 35-39 scholarship players.
Incoming Head coach watching from the stands.
A wide receiver playing QB.
If you love watching LSU get thumped, this is the bowl for you.
21-0 early 2nd Qtr.
Ouch.

At least they are playing. Texas AM took the cowards way out.

It has been one-sided thus far and I see no reason to think it will change. This LSU squad is in shambles, and I'm okay with that. CBK has a steep hill to climb, and I'm okay with that, too.

I don't like LSU but I'm pulling for them because they actually showed up instead of "A&Ming out"...

 

[TideEngineer08]

A lot of respect for LSU to show up and play the game.

Also a lot of laughter seeing them get steamrolled by Kansas State.

LSU putting a drive together.

TD LSU followed (predictably) by an act of indiscipline.

I'm all for LSU losing any time they play unless it helps Alabama, so...

Thanks for reminding me about this one.

I feel there is going to be a lot of comic relief in watching Brian Kelly deal with that.

Yep. Selfish act (#4)

I used to pull for the Wildcats all the time because I liked Coach Snyder so much.

Now that he's gone....GO TIGERS!

 

[Tidewater]

K State seems kind of chippy. Some might say classless.
The kicker got an unsportsmanlike penalty.

looks like maybe they didn't show up.

I know Ogre was a train wreck but I’m just stunned by how utterly his ridiculously asinine behavior destroyed this program. It also brings back PTSD level emotions on how bad the Bama program dropped during the sanction era. I’m still thanking Mal Moore and Witt for not embracing anything less than excellence!!!! RTR!!!!

Here's an article that explains how short-handed they were for this game.

Why LSU won't have any scholarship quarterbacks for Texas Bowl against Kansas State

The Tigers only have 39 scholarship players for their bowl game, including very few at several key positions.

Like some here said - respect for showing up and not bailing.

That State coach, post game, said zero about LSU's situation - no credit for anything. Their fans acting like they just won the national championship. Surprised they didn't storm the freaking field!

And not even the point after kick after that TD - as time ran out? SMH.....

Forgot all about this. Looks like LSU wishes to forget it as well.

 

[rolltd]

LSU just a shell of the team that played Bama. But hey they did play

 

[deltatider]

I hate LSU (I hate UGA, UT, au, Cam Newton, and hangovers too), but for those LSU players that did strap it up tonight....they get an absolute tip of the hat from this guy. For as much as everyone complains about the guys the opt out and don't play...the guys wearing LSU jerseys tonight damn sure were not that. Good on them....I mean I did swing by the casino and put a little cash on KSU this afternoon on my way home...but by showing up to play regardless of the situation the players showed some pride and regardless of the score they all represented themselves very well tonight in my humble opinion....I still hate LSU and I hope that is the closest I ever come to giving them a compliment ever again....

he's bringing a new culture to the corn dogs

I forgot about this game and went to bed early last night. Maybe ESPN will replay it and I get see the highlights.

I watched most of the game in the airport and on my plane ride home. I knew going into the game we had little chance but after two straight 3 and outs, it was over. Respect to those who played. Much of that group forms the new culture going forward.

Jontre Kirklin, who played QB and threw three great TD passes, said this about his career: “Amazing. It was a journey. Getting recruited as a cornerback. Playing cornerback for two years. Bouncing around at receiver. Scout team QB. Back to corner for a bowl game. Back to QB tonight. I’ve played everything. I’m blessed and honored.” I would love to see the new staff keep him on in some capacity.

Ogre brought us from the top of college FB to near bottom with incredible speed. But, with the transfer portal and the ability to fill holes quickly - the rebuilding time is shortened. Now that we have a staff with an infinite amount of acumen over the prior regime, let the new era of LSU football begin.
