its pretty telling you dont mention msu's talent or the fact that they were 2 games under .500 in. sec play last year



Why are you fixated on last year? Like you posting all last week how Fitzgerald sucked because of last year. This is a new year. Young players with a year of experience get better. Novel concept, I know. You would think you wouldnt keep going back to that well when you are proven wrong over and over.

so we dont have enough talent to not have the worst loss in lsu-msu history?



am i surprised that the game got away from a young team, a team who's older players are not as good as the guys they replaced who were in NFL training camps this summer? A game where our best Def player comes back fat and out of shape? The same game our best DL doesnt play in?

No, im not surprised. Does it suck that it happened, yea! MSU had the best player on the field, and Mullen stuck it to our young and inexperienced defense.

We are young. The difference between this season and years past is that we are actually having to rely on our youth. In past seasons, our freshman only played if they were studs (not as common as one may think), or if the opposition was absolute shite. I hope this team rebounds. That loss was shite. Let's see what happens going forward.

i agree had we lost a hard fought game where our youth was exposed late in the game. but our team quit,had zero focus from beginning to end,and played with zero passion.


im not even saying that Mississippi state loss means we are doomed. im just saying we are for sure more talented than msu and the arse kicking is on coaching. a loss can be explained away with youth. having a perennial sec doormat dominate you from beginning to end isnt attributed to us being less talented than MSU.

If you understand that players get better with age like you just said you did, then why is it so hard for you to grasp that we may be more talented than Miss St, but it doesn't exactly mean we are a better team?


If our most talented players are Freshman(truth), or didnt play (Lawrence), or was coming back fat from injury (Key), why is this so fricking hard for you to understand?

thanks for answering. at no time did i say talent makes you a better team. coaching does that.

im sure you used this same logic in 2014 when we had 1 player make all sec and all of 4 players drafted.

no buddy, i am not like you. I dont make blanket statements about things just because they may seem similar. I dont say we are going to blow MSU out the water simply because we do it every year. I dont say Nick Fitzgerald wont play good against us because he didnt last year. I analyze things. I dont take the easy way and just look at the surface stuff. That is why me and you are different. That is why you embarrass yourself nearly every time you get into a discussion like this

youre on the level of peej on here.



and of course you didnt apply this ignorant logic when you didnt like the coach.

our 2014 team was extremely young and had 4 players drafted in 2015 nfl draft.

keep being ignorant, im mean keep doing you

and yeah you really analyzed Guice really well.

Yes, you are so hell bent on defending Les Miles. Dude I havent mentioned Les Miles once. Why do you think I am interested in discussion the 2014 team?

Im trying to deal with the facts surrounding this years teams. I made a nice long post on the last page about the pieces that we could potentially should have right now, and trying to give reason why this team may struggle, and you are sitting her trying to get into a pissing match about Les Miles and how people hurt your feelings when they talk bad about him. I dont give a shite about that.

Why does it seem it was Jimbo, Herman or bust with this hire? Was it laziness ? I don't understand why the list was so short. (I know......
THE BINDER). Has this job become average?

I didn't know we didn't have enough players to where we HAVE to play freshman.

Face it, O played those freshman over upperclassmen. For good or bad.

To be fair, O did win and blew out Petrino with the Heisman winner for the bowl victory with the same talent that Miles lost to an 8-5 Auburn team with while starting out 2-2. The most points we scored with Miles last year was 34 against Jacksonville St. Under O, the team scored 38 on SEC opponents 4 times including 50+ against aTm. He managed to blow out Ole Miss (who we were stomped by the previous year) worse than Miles ever did and blew out Arkansas at Arkansas after they had beaten us by 17 in consecutive years. If I'm being fair, with the same talent, the team performed WAY better under O than Miles. And Ed O had about the worst previous head coaching stint one could have at Ole Miss.

It remains to be seen what O will do even though he had an awful track record as a head coach previously. But LSU did lose a load of defensive talent last year along with a couple of WRs to the NFL, so it's not the same team as last year. However, they should not be 30 points worse than State.

I don't think this is true at all. Last years Ole Miss score was 38-21. Miles 2005 team bet ole Miss 40-7 and his 2011 team beat them 52-3.

quote:

The bowl victory against Petrino and Louisville was impressive, but Louisville lost their final 3 games last year. 36-10 to Houston and 41-38 to Kentucky to close out the regular season, and then the bowl game to LSU.

Miles also beat Petrino and Arkansas 41-17 in 2011 when Arkansas was ranked #3 in the polls.

I agree with you there. The team did look much better, but sometimes, replacing the head coach (or manager in baseball) lights a fire under a team and they do play better for a period of time.

I don't know how this years team will respond after last weeks beat down, but hopefully, they'll come out with new energy and string some wins together.

You realize they beat us three years ago and were ranked #1 at one point late in the season right. Yes, they have been the doormat forever...at least until recently. We are more talented, but combining that much youth with a staff Shitting the bed equals 37-7. Lets see how we respond.

Sorry, I meant at home in Tiger Stadium. Miles never beat Ole Miss by more than a TD in Tiger Stadium. Oddly enough, the 40-7 game at Ole Miss was against O.

Miles was 1-2 against Bielema and didn't beat a bad Arkansas team by even a TD. LSU blew them out last year.

This team is different because it's probably the least experienced WR group I've seen in years after losing Dural, Dupre leaving early and those other 3 WRs transferrin before last year. The WR group had challenges last year. It was bound to catch up to us. You can't lose that many WRs and not expect some challenges. The D has some very good talent, but they are very young after losing so many guys from last year's D. Throw in D-line injuries and it becomes a challenge. We need everyone healthy.
