Gdad, whats screwed up is that I found myself writing the Tigers off. Just this morning I decided to be analytical about the current state of affairs and realized its smoke and mirrors......and behind that smoke and mirrors is a very dangerous team.


GREATLY respect your opinion.. but disagree. Lack of maturity on defense and the more I keep hearing about people being more focused on getting to the NFL than representing the purple and gold.... the more I think this decade plus run of the golden era of LSU football may be wavering.

Tigers of old would have played with a career threatening injury to BEAT an Alabama....not anymore...

Try as I might, the Ole Miss loss kicked the shite out of me and I cannot seem to shake the fatalism I now have regarding this game, this team, this coach and this program.
I am shocked that this is the case, but it was just one damn time too many I guess.

Where do you hear this utter garbage?

Now.. let's look at other students. They have their career in mind. They are focused on getting a job at Apple/Google, Dow/Exxon, Goldman... Would you say that they are not focused?

If they are focused about getting to NFL, they will do well. NFL is not going to take guys that do not do well in college.

STOP this mythical BS. They don't play with concussions any more. They diagnose injuries better. If a doctor says no, teams are cautious.

Bertman is often berated for reducing the shelf life of some star LSU pitchers.

Don't be so fatalist......I think many wrote off LSU in 2008 and they have done fairly well since.

Also, getting to the NFL requires playing time and success, so that desire to get to the league is actually a positive.
