re: Why are you afraid of Bama after one loss?

They are a better coached team...

He may not be nice but Nick drills and coaches his teams to a fine edge. We saw him do this at LSU. He's doing it at Bama now. They don't have better athletes than LSU. But the athletes they do have know what they're supposed to be doing out there. Ours? Well let's just 'let 'er rip!'

You need to reevaluate your reading comprehension skills.

Alabama has looked dominant.

LSU has looked crappy.

Therefore, at this point in time Alabama > LSU. Anything else is just blind hope.

LSU looked crappy last year and we did fine against ole nicky in our home. IN fact would have beaten them had JL not given them that pick six.

What you ARE saying is you Bama have put YOU an LSU fan in your place. You actually admit it. You look at some numbers and shake in your boots having to face those guys.

I can't believe an LSU fan would ever fear Bama, ever. No wonder Bama is laughing it up right now, you have been put in your place in their view.

Again, your reading comprehension is lacking.

Football is played on the field and LSU can win.

To think LSU is playing anywhere near the level of Alabama this season is ignorant.

And LSU looked crappy last year and finished with a losing SEC record for the first time since Gerry DiNardo was coaching.

quote:

Halfway through the season, LSU is 12th in the SEC in total offense and 7th in total defense. By contrast, Alabama is 4th in total offense and 2nd in total defense. The game is in Alabama.

No one is "afraid", but to win LSU needs to improve dramatically. Luckily there is time.
[/qoute]

But this is precisely the point I am trying to get across. Our defense is improving in leaps and bounds and luckily there is time for our Offense to improve by the end of the season before we meet Bama.

And btw, you saying the Meyer risked the life of his star player is beyond ridiculous. Tebow was cleared to play by his physicians. Silly.

Maybe I used hyperbole to push across a point about risking life - but it sure was risking the quality of life had something happened. There have been enough people cautioning about concussions that it doesn't seem worth hurrying up the healing process.

But if I was wrong then it supports my case all the more that we played a really good Florida Offense and held them to just 13 points and Bama is nowhere close to the Gators in either players (with experience and led by Tebow) and coached by an offensive minded Coach (Meyer and co).

Everyone is ready to believe that all other teams will improve and kill us but refuse to believe that our Defense can show the same leaps in improvement and hence hold Bama to single points!!!.

Agreed their strength is their D but it can't be any worse than Florida's and not much better either - having been through one of the two already I don't see why we should quake for the other.

(What position do you play?)

Put me in coach !!!! I like foos-ball!

UF intentionally takes a delay of game then punts.

Sounds awfully conservative to me.

You see it as an offense being conservative - I see it as the Defense being strong and forcing the offense to not try risky plays. We saw the play when their RB tried to run off the far side and was covered by our LBs - and Danielson made a comment about few teams matching up with Florida in speed.

I think it was out of respect for the D but knowing that our O would do squat with the chance probably helped them confirm the decision.

Just wondering? LSU have never been afraid at all and even when they were undefeated last year , we gave them all they wanted and then some. Why so fearful?

---

Game has the potential to get very ugly.

Many on here said the same thing about the florida game


Surprisingly, many of the people on this thread were saying we'd lose 5 games again this year.

I'm no tiger homer, realistically we could very well lose to Bama. But to say we have no shot? You kidding me? Bama was supposed to be all that last year as well (Until their last two games) and we should have beat them! Some of you people make me f*cking sick reading this crap Why don't ya'll go find another team like miami to root for for god f*cking sakes, especially Dukke V. I hear Alabama has a nice board you f*ckin pansies, why don't you go there to suck them off.......
