| LSU Fans: Please remember who we play this weekend! - nitwit on 6/6/13 at 1:27 pm
We are hosts.
They are our guests.
We play the University of Oklahoma, and, as most of you are well aware, these are NOT people ordinary sensibilities.
These are sophisticated, sensitive and urbane observers of the heroic athletic endeavor.
There should be no outbursts of spontaneous enthusiasm ...

| Brandon Harris v Anthony Jennings - nitwit on 6/5/13 at 2:41 pm
Lots of similarities:
Jennings was 4 star rated no. 6 dual threat QB. Harris No. 5.
Jennings: 6' 2", 205
Harris: 6', 2", 190
Both run the 40 in 4.5.
Jennings committed almost a year ago to the day, 6/7/12. Jennings showed a level head, maturity and great work ethic ever since.

| If LSU is a top 10 FB program, are our fans top 10 fans? - nitwit on 5/29/13 at 2:52 pm
We demand excellance of our players and coaches, but are we "good CFB fans"?
We get terrific grades for being loud, passionate and having good tailgate food and activites. And drunk.
But, increasingly, we leave the stadium early, boo our own coach and QB, and turn on fellow Tiger fans for being Po...

| Did Slive hire Vincent to deflect bias criticism? - nitwit on 5/25/13 at 2:27 pm
This is not aimed at Herb Vincent, who I understand is capable and a good guy. I suspect he had a nice offer.
However, I haven't seen discussion here about whether the current scheduling controversy fostered the SEC to make Herb Assoc. Comm for Communications. The move occurs just before the SEC me...

| Why LSU's 2014 recruiting success depends on CamRob - nitwit on 5/9/13 at 3:07 pm
LSU will have a great recuiting haul this year.
The success of the program, the conference and Miles' abilities dictates year in and out expectations of top 10, if not top 5 finishes.
Through luck, La. finds itself with a buttload of top 150 players this year. And a few out of state recruits are d...

| Did LSU get robbed in its loss to Centenary - nitwit on 2/13/13 at 11:36 am
Does anyone have information of the 1932 game LSU lost to Centenary, 6-0?
The Tigers got two TD's called back by the zebras, who lived in Shreveport. The game was played in S'port which is notorious for home-jobs.
I still lose sleep wondering "what if" about this game...

| Nearly everybody is frustrated, but who is actually accountable? - nitwit on 1/2/13 at 3:17 pm
People blame the QB, the OL and the OC, but at the same time acknowldege that Les calls the plays.
You can blame Les, but he just got a vote of confidence, wiht a contract extension.
Who is resposnsible for requiring accountablility for consecutive seasons of offenseive ineptitude, underachiev...

I give Clemson's offense and Boyd, in particular credit.
Our play calling was awful, not jsut when we needed that last first down or two.
And did someone take J. Hill hostage for large parts of the game?
Awful, imo....

Too bad the Cotton Bowl wanted Texas A&M over a higher rated LSU team thAt beat a&m.
There's a precedent with the Cotton Bowl:
In 1969 LSU fielded Cholly Mac's best team, going 9-,losing only to Archie Manning by 3.
The match up was supposed to be against 10-1, no. 1 Texas in the Cotton Bowl.

It's no secret that in the last dozen years it has become fashionable for locals to be LSU "fans", or more accurately, to attend LSU games.
At the same time the commercialization of the college game has led to higher ticket prices, suites, parking fees etc, so that attendance...

To read this board, nobody seems aware that we play a good Moo State team on Saturday.
We have to win THAT game before talking about the Sugar, Cotton or other bowls.
I trust Lester is doing a better job on focusing the team properly than fans on this site.

Knee jerk reaction, of course, is the offense.
Our red zone offense is poor (69th in FBS; compare Ala. at 3rd).
Our third down conversion pctg. Is poor (81st, accd to latest NCAA stats; compare Ala. at 24th).
No surprises that our offense is underachieving, but how about defense, which is overall...

Posters have talked alot about the OL and LT problems and we ahve quite a few comments about WR's dropping passes.
Seems to me the problems with our WR's are larger:
A lot of the routes I see are poorly run.I hitch and go is not the most difficult route for a WR.
Even more of a problem is that ...

A few weeks ago there was a long thread predicting the best "surprise" player for 2012.
In fairness, OBJ got quite a few call outs and there were some unusual names floated about, including some true Freshmen (Debo, Feist, etc.).

Les has not said publicly that he has no interest in the Michigan job. Pelini and ohters have done so.
Not sure Michigan has Les at the top of it's list, but Les' agent may see this as an opportunity to negotiate for some "extras", especially after a 10-2 season.
My gut tell sme this would be poor...
