I'm from the Midwest and all my buddies are Big XII guys. They can never figure out how this game is close year in and year out. I always say their Super Bowl and a game that usually means nothing to us. I ur season is usually decided for the better or worse. I expect more dominance in the next 20 years as this game has been moved up...but don't expect the Arkys to be any less annoying.

Ole Miss and Arkansas hate LSU, and LSU is usually meh on these games from an attitude standpoint


I love how much LSU fans act like they don't care for Arkansas. You don't care but yet you are always starting threads about how much you don't care. And we as a fanbase don't care for LSU as much as you guys wish we did. If we had a "superbowl", it would probably be everytime we play Texas. And as for the LSU team not ever getting up for the Hogs, that sounds like a coaching issue.

a lot of it is where they fall in our schedule. It's after Bama and our other big SEC games and we're emotionally spent.

There are only a few times per year where a team can get "up" and play at max intensity. Arky's not one of those for us, but I think it is for them.

Seriously. I don't want to come over to the LSU board and pick fights, but saying that LSU can't get up for some games isn't some free excuse card. It's a coaching issue.

I'm not sure that you know the actual meaning of the word "ineptness".

"Inconsistent" would be more appropriate.

I'm not sure Webster does.

Really??? So what happened against MSU and AU and ND last year????? Why couldn't LSU get "UP" for Arkie last year?? I know they were somewhat spent after the Bama game, But how did Bama do after playing LSU???? There is NO excuse for being "UP" for every conference game. I don't care who its against or hoe bad they are... That's ALL Coaching.

I actually agree with you. LSU plays down to its opponents far too often. Some of that is just human nature, but a lot of it is coaching.

Now, it's just natural to not be able to be sky-high every week. But we should still be motivated enough to take care of business, and far too often we look way too sluggish.

Bama, for example, seems to take care of its business without the huge let downs. And you're right, a lot of it is coaching.
