You people really need to realize mid week games are pretty meaningless. The players don't really care and all the other teams are out to beat LSU

Exactly. These midweek games are resume builders for teams like UNO come tournament time. These games are meaningless for LSU if they take care of business in conference play.

I agree with half of this. They're pretty meaningless, but the players do care.

I am consistently amused by the reaction when we lose one. Bats stunk tonight, but on to the weekend.

Except for the fact that it looks shitty on your record to lose to these lower tier teams, to say nothing of the notion that it cant be building confidence.

Then they need to carry their arse somewhere where this kind of thinking/motivation are tolerated.

Well I would hope they try to win all their games...even against LSU.

This team is an enigma and needs to become much more consistent if they expect to contend for an SEC title.

I couldn't disagree more. Cant use that as a excuse. The bats were non existing and we weren't sound in the field. Simple as that.

This is a direct reflection of CPM. If the players don't care, it is on him. Because he doesn't really care that everybody wants to beat one of the best programs in the nation. This kind of attitude starts at the top and works its way down through the rest of the program. This type of attitude should never be tolerated. His attitude, like Miles, is a program killer. And that attitude is satisfaction.

God knows that message has been hammered home endlessly. Seems we hear it a lot only when we lose them.

Then why on earth are they playing? Why have this glorified practice session if no one cares? And why would players not care, even in practice?

Wait. Why? What team is expending any effort or emotion for a non-existent game that literally means nothing? Why are they wasting their energy in practice? Don't they know that a truly great team (like LSU, for instance) tries to lose these games on purpose, or at least doesn't give a shite about winning them? You know, because they don't count?
