Could it have been as simple as team and coaches took WI for granted?

Could we have really just thought WI was as bad as advertised and everyone thought we could just go through the motions? Doesn't excuse lack of in-game adjustments but maybe we walked into a fight we didn't expect and didn't plan for?

I know, I'm reaching!

No, no, and no!!!!

Les is a one-trick pony, who is incapable of making any adjustments at all.

No.

Sure ... you wish. We all wish.


But we all saw ... and all recognize that we are not that good and fricked.

Could it be a simple as Wisc is one of the best defenses in the nation?

Answer: Yes, while that is true, it is also true to point out that our OL and QB have struggled against every good defense over the last 12+ months.

They were on a trip to visit Lambeau Field, then a football game broke out.

Alabama sure as hell was prepared for whatever USC had to offer.

That's what top flight coaches do. They prepare their teams for whatever opponent is in front of them, no matter the opponent. Sure there are slip ups here and there, but preparing is key.

If the coaches took WI for granted then they are brain dead morons.

I don't think it is THE factor, but I definitely think the team and staff was overconfident.

I hated that they were talking about the Lambeau Leap last week.

I honestly feel too many people thought they would get dressed and just roll all over that team.

I honestly don't know if it's stupidity or stubbornness but I learned how to do a SWOT analysis in high school and it's like Les Miles led teams know their strength and do not acknowledge their weaknesses, opportunities or threats and I feel like their inability to has cost them too many times.

Success is determined by what you do when you can't do what you want to do.

No, No, and No. If so, this team was WAY too big headed going into a game in Wisconsin against a pretty good football team. I they had that attitude against Wisconsin and won, then then same attitude would get them beat in a game like the one that is upcoming

That isn't the case but if it was that all falls on the head coach once again.

If the coaches truly did this, they should be fired immediately, the entire staff. How stupid would that be? Are you kidding?

LSU has been winging it since 2008. Les Miles was lucky to have talent, because the rest was pure shite. Always has been.

Sounds like something my wife accuses me of from time to time.

Usually get the shite kicked out of me right after I hear it, too.
