The man makes a good point. I laughed at the Saban quote from 2001 considering the expectations placed on him currently

My favorite quote from the ATVS article:

quote:

LSU fans have responded to this bit of adversity by collectively flipping the hell out. The Tiger Rag is openly speculating about a winless SEC season. The Man from Gannett is writing Man from Gannett sort of things, which I'm not gonna link to. Everyone's favorite message board is in full metdown mode.

Some other great ones:

quote:

LSU fans are bailing on this season like it's the third quarter in Tiger Stadium. Hey, I know y'all have got to beat traffic, but maybe you might want to stick things out and see what happens.

Somebody's been reading TD.

Now this next one might be going a little too far. I mean, has anyone on this board ever noticed grown men acting in this fashion?

quote:

But a bunch of whiners who have been sitting on an "I told you so" for a decade can go get bent. You don't get credit for your prediction of decline that you've been making every year since Saban left. You don't get to call yourself Nostradamus for the same conniption fit you've had after every LSU loss in history.

The sky is not falling. It's just a nut.

Is the delusion where he says the '01 team was anything like this one?

My favorite part is when the writer pretends we got blown out by UT during the regular season, and then beats his chest for the rest of the article about how great of a comparison he made. Too bad we lost to UT by 1 score that year.

I have to ask, how many of y'all think we'd beat State or Auburn if we got a 2nd chance later in the year?

Sorry Voodoo couldnt resist being a copycat. But Ive copied and saved this paragraph for just a few of the most ignorant negas.

GG and the rest of the Miles haters, go get bent.
Perfect personality description to about 5 of them right off the top of my head.

AWWWSOMMME.

Maybe there should be a whiners board so the rest of us don't have to deal with the quitters.

GEAUX TIGERS! BUGA!

No one felt good after that UF beat down. But there we were in ATL...

What the hell are you talking about? If you look at the game log on lsusports.net, he is exactly right. It was 26-7 when they scored with less than 12 minutes to go in the 4th. Against MSU, they scored with more than 15 minutes to go in the fourth. Both LSU teams scored on the very next drive.

Both LSU teams started throwing to get back into it. We actually finished with more passing yards than our opponents both times. It pretty much ended the exact same damn way. If you go back and look at the play by play, it is almost uncanny how the fourth quarters played out. The only difference, was that we didn't convert a two point conversion.

He is 100% right, and we got blew out by UF, the same way we just got blew out by Auburn.
