re: what sam montgomery said

Has anyone ever watched a GAME and came away thinking that Sam didn't play with great effort? I cannot remember ever seeing him with a lack of effort in the game. I can recall the game against South Carolina that Montgomery was on the sideline yelling to the team "Play like me!"

I think the answer was honest and I still love big Sam!

I see way more dedication and effort from the players down on the field than from the empty seats on the third quarter.

The fans don't play the genius. Are you this freaking dense? Why do you want to deflect so badly?

I also understand a little about human nature and I try to remember that the players are human and young ones at that.

Give your effort, then let the younger guys come in and play. That's how the lesser games should be played.

I especially try to not take a little thing like this and magnify it into some dark element infecting the LSU program.

Ahh...now the reason for your deflection comes out.

It doesn't reflect on the program, unless it continues to happen. You saw WAY more effort in 2011.

No one disputes that players take off from time to time, but if you can't see the difference between last year and this year (effort) then you are worthless to discuss this with.

Admitting it publicly makes him more than suspect. It will come out in his interviews, but don't take it to the public. Everyone knew Sam and several others didn't really "show up" in some games. Discuss it in your personnel interviews, not publicly.
