re: The Rant's "Chicken Littleitis" has bled onto here so thoroughly...

This type of rational posting should be banned IMO.

I said in another post and I'll say it again. People need to quit worrying about where we rank in a recruiting class. OP hit the nail on the head. LSU is recruiting for specific needs and not to amass stars and "elite" recruiting rankings.
UT recruits for stars and has a top 5 class consistently. Worked out well for them the last 2 years...

I've tried to make some points (like LSU's need to become more of an OOS recruiter), so I hope I didn't sound like someone with CLitis.
I really do think that unless we stop putting all of our eggs in the LA talent pool, we will have difficulties down the road. But all in all, I would much rather be undefeated going in the BCS title game than win recruiting championships like Texas and lose at home regularly.
As far as posters obsessions/fears of Bama, those fears were stoked to white hot with the BCS game. They were there before and now continue. That needs to be addressed.
Lets put the cards on the table. We're mad at Saban for taking the Bama job, but yet we all know he is a great coach and recruiter, and now is a school which has a blank checkbook for anything football related. He's done what he was hired to do.
That being said, we just need to accept that the man is just doing his job - winning games and titles. But at the same time, there are a lot of other top schools we are competing against. We don't have to win every recruit that Saban wants, he can only get 25 players and there a heck of a lot of good players that Bama won't get.
It was one game, it wasn't pretty, it hurt, it was to Bama and it was to Saban. OK. Get over it. We lost to a defense that will go down as one of the greatest ever. Sure JJ looked bad, so did the entire offense. There was no conspiracy theory. We just got beat. Remember, in reality, in the middle of the 3Q, we still were in reach of the lead. It wasn't 30-0.
Did I want to see JL? I think everyone did. But after thinking about it, it probably would not have mattered. What's done is done. Bama gets to hoist the crystal whether it's 21-0 or 21-20.
I think you have to let people vent for a few days, but this is getting ridiculous. If your child screws up badly, you get on him for a few days, then let it go and move on. To continually rehash one game when we've done so well for so many years, is not the way to go to move forward.
Please keep posting comments - that's the purpose of this forum - but do so as per the future and make it a discussion, not a rant. And BTW, a Rant is only a temporary thing. After that is becomes a Whine.
Chicken, how about a "Tiger Whine" board for those who can't move on???
