Had a chance to separate from the pack

Agreed. I really thought this was the game we would "grow up" and join the elite of the SEC. I'm still far from giving up, but this team has got to learn to play defense on the road. It seems like we always wait too long to press. I wish they would try pressing right out of the gate to build a lead. It is like we don't even try playing press defense until we are down by 8-12 points.

Young team. It happens.

You're a fan. How fricking hard is it to not give up?

So many of you are soft as frick

Sure it does. I won't argue with that, but there are a lot of talented "young teams" in this day on age of college basketball. Like I said, I won't give up on them until the bitter end, but I would like to think that at this point in the season we would see a little more progression. A very, very average Georgia team should not be beating us by double digits-even at their place. I would bet that Johnny Jones is thinking the same thing. Hopefully he fixes the problem fast, because we can probably only afford maybe one more loss this year. That loss better not be to anyone other than FL or KY or we are screwed.

Not sure if serious....if you are, you need to put down the pipe immediately

He is pointing out the idiocy of the we are young crap that morons keep spewing.

Not blaming it for the loss, but seriously SEC officiating is horrible and there is actual statistical evidence:

Tuesday, UK @ LSU: 39 FT attempts (and several came in the final minute or so)

Saturday, Arkansas @ LSU: 43 FT attempts

Tonight, LSU @ UGA: 68 FT attempts

Sorry, but there's no way officiating crews should vary by that damn much from week to week. It's absurd. The new rules were "supposed" to make officiating more consistent, but to me they've basically done the opposite. LSU sucked tonight plain and simple, but it's frustrating to see officiating this bad.

this excuse needs to die

Young team is the lamest fking excuse in the book. Several of these guys have been playing together for a while. It's a cop out to cover the inexplicable up and down nature of this team. After watching them manhandle a better Arky team last Saturday, there's no way we should let a mediocre team like Georgia school us like this!

We are not a young team, but we're still a bubble team. We'll bounce back and forth between the last 8 out and the last 8 in for the rest of the year.
