Here we go again - shades of Nuts4LSU - losing to win.

Losing is NEVER good. But, some in the fanbase would rather lose than win ugly, no question.

However, to your broader point - I teach military history for the USAR, and losing the first world war gave Germany the freedom to revolutionize their military before WWII - the allies were split, with the old guard wanting to stick with the "tried and true" - despite having the best army in the world, on paper, the French were fighting a "new and improved" trench war, WWI style fight and lost to the Blitzkrieg in 6 weeks.

SO, the broader point about a loss liberating the coaches to make change may be valid (but I never like to lose and refuse to ascribe positive benefits to it.)

Im fine brother. Never thought we would go undefeated this year and at Georgia was a game that I had penciled in as a loss way back. Im good . Still think we can reach our goals. Now had we lost that game like that in Tiger Stadium may be a lot more disappointed but as Frank's Restaurant in Baton Rouge and Prairieville says, "It's All Good."

hey we are who we are. losing early, and especially in this fashion, may save the BCS goals

our coach is stubborn. he won't fix problems if we keep winning, even if they ultimately result in a loss down the line

i don't like losing, but we lost. our same problems from week 1 were there yesterday

with our coaches, that's often what it takes. it's a process

UGA, the hottest team in the country? I don't think so. Their defensive performance this year has been very poor.

People are in meltdown mode not because of the loss, but because they realize that we will not be able to control our own destiny with a horrible horrible defense like what saw yesterday. What makes the loss even worse? This defense doesn't seem to be fixable in a short term.


the winner is !

GA is likely the least productive offensive team from
Alabama
TX A&M
Ole Miss

that's the scary part.

I still like LSU's chances in every game and potentially playing Georgia again...


I'm just disappointed how matador the defense was. They did nothing well yesterday. A handful of tackles for loss, an odd pick, and one time Murray was forced out of the pocket.

I agree with A&M, but think you're a moron about the other two teams.

Take another hit off the bong!

Our D has to prove it can stop running water before you can make such a prediction.

Every game with a decent team will be a shoot out, including Arkansas.
