re: what sam montgomery said

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.


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

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.

Certain posters of this site will defend anything any player at LSU does.
We all learned that during shady gate.

Normally they will shite all over any player to protect the coach. Only time they will defend a player is if it has some connection to the HC.

And there are certain posters that want to call a talent like Montgomery a waste of a scholarship bc he didn't give his all against Idaho.

---

Montgomery had a great career, just didn't have his heart in his final season outside 2-3 games.

Besides watch us play second fiddle to NS and alabama... Bc I gurantee you that's not accepted there, regardless which player it is.

I can't believe you people keep saying this. It really makes me question not only your intelligence but your sanity.

So you're saying players never take games off under saban?

What rock have you been living under?

fricking ridiculous.

Its not accepted anywhere, but it happens everywhere. At every level. In every sport.

How childish are you people being?



It doesn't happen under saban, give me a fricking break.

I guess uab was just a better team than LSU. I guess Ulm was a better team than bama. Did you see bama almost lose to Georgia Southern? Yeah, bama was obviously up for that game. I guess Utah was actually the better team, right?

Grow Up.

Again, why do professional athletes typically perform better during contract years. Obviously they aren't giving 100% the rest of the time. Do you think in basketball or baseball players go all out every game?

Why not outrage there? Why not outrage for when Saban's teams don't show up?


How many games has LSU lost by Sam "taking games off"? I could see the Clemson games being the only one. And who really cares about that game, other than the fans that likely take each game more importantly than 99% of the players they are rooting for.
