re: My 2 cents on yesterday's gameday experience (long)

My interpretation is that they are like that slightly awkward kid who always tried so hard to fit in, and had something to prove. Actually had the goods to keep up, but did not know how to play the game, so he was left hanging with the non-descript crowd. Then of course all this just drives the hatred toward everyone

I get the same feeling. The state and the players feel like a bunch of regrets, knowing they have no respect and big schools (like LSU) never recruited them out of high school. Hence they always have a chip on their shoulder.

I think a lot of the trash talking was initiated by their players, who are under the misguided notion that talking shite somehow enabled them to negate the skill/talent disparity on the field.
