re: Most folks picked LSU to be 9-3 or 10-2 this season...why?

This isn't based on recruitment, based on development.

I have to disagree. The talent level isn't as strong as it was two or three years ago on either line (no dominant players). I may be wrong, but I just do not see all this "talent" everyone talks about in the lines. WR yes, DB's yes, some at Linebacker but not at the Michael Brooks level, QB is developing, running backs depleted by injury...loss of Charles Scott was huge in the Bama game...I think it hurt in that game and the Ole Miss game. Just some thoughts

Do you want to disagree with the fact that LSU's best wins were against average or less than average SeC teams?

---

I totally disagree with you because I have no idea how you are making the comparison as to what teams are "average or less than average". By your comparison, I guess every team outside of Bama & Fla is "average". For example: we just beat (a very good) Arkansas team that got the crap beat out of it by Ole Miss, a team we lost to by 2 points but that also got the crap beat out of it by Miss State, a team we beat, this weekend. Georgia, a team that has struggle all year & that we beat (and looked pretty good doing it, too) beat the #7 team in the country. How do you make enough sense out of that to determine exactly what teams are average?

I'm not saying Les Miles is a great coach or that he's a terrible coach. I want the program to be flying a little higher too (0-6 against Meyer, Saban & Nutt, especially, is tough to swallow). ALL I'm saying is divining insights about the program's potential based on "almost losts" or "quality wins" or "domination" is crazy. I'll take my 9-3 and be happy, given the season we've had.

I thought we would have 2 losses...UF and Ole miss. Mainly because I didnt expect bama to be as good and our offense as bad. I knew the def would be greatly improved. Beating UF was a long shot just cus of their d and their qb. I thought ole miss would play much better the entire season.

I'm on a touch. Sorry for the typo and your lack of intellect to realize what I was saying.

Their comment to you was to hide their own mistakes and flaws! These are the only real nega-taters? Fk 'em&feed'emfishheads

because of the way we lost to alabama and especially ole miss.

Yes, but the irony is, on one hand the officiating was largely blamed for the 'Bama loss while of course the coaches(and offensive players)drew the correctly-aimed ire of fans from the implosion in Oxford. One thing to realize is this. If the officiating had been fair and if PP,JJ &CS had not been injured, thus almost assuring a Tiger victory in Tuscaloosa, then the Ole Mrs debacle would have hurt even worse,by depriving LSU from the SEC title game and possibly a shot at the BCSNC. Myself, I picked them 10-2(and really they should have been) but all things considered I'm o.k. with 9-3. Now if they do get to 10-3, by virtue of defeating a Big Ten opponent, I'd say they took a big step up this season. A bowl-game loss(first of all would be a shock)would damper things a bit but still the overall view going into next season should be a positive one IMO.

Why are we all in an uproar over finishing right where most of us figured we would finish?

Name a game other than Auburn or Tulame where the team looked good in all three phases and appeared to exhibit an LSU style of play.

Winning a bowl game against any Big10 team other than Ohio State is not a step up. Which of course, TigerWilson88, has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand! In other words, it's not "pertainent." What a hypocrite! GFY!

Obviously you aren't getting it so I will lay it out for you.
1. Stop posting - fail
2. Stop fricking posting - fail
3. Slap your mother in the face - fail
4. Kick your father in the nuts - fail
5. Watch every game from this past year - did
6. Try to realize our talent level far exceeds the talent from the opposing teams. - really? Are you saying our offensive and defensive lines are rated higher than Bama and Florida?
7. Realize there is only one fricking reason we almost lost to several shitty teams, lost to Ole Miss and loss to Florida... Coaching. - I agree with you, best post you've made yet and exactly what I was looking for.
8. Stop mother fricking posting. - Wrong again.

You're getting better! Once you hit puberty you are going to be a great rantard who actually makes sense most of the time! Just like Jarret Lee is going to be a great quarterback when he grows up!
