on the horizon?



LSU was a 5 to 6 point favorite. The team was running out of gas. A mediocre to bad Arkansas team took LSU to the final 30 seconds of the game nearly getting in FG range for the win.

They were a 2 point favorite by game time. I thought it'd be close, but it was clear the team was wearing down faster and faster every week.

I don't think many people foresaw that we would get blown out.

Not this year.

Les has this group of guys so motivated and so focused that it would take an out of this world game from Georgia to beat them.

JMO.

I think we win by at least 17 points.

:raiseshand:

we played what 10 straight games that year? We were emotionally and physically exhausted. We were a better team then. We just were beat down from the season and emotional toll of what all happened.

I had a bad feeling that day. I don't know why but I just did. Sure enough we lost and that night was filled with drama from stupid bitches and friends who didn't know when to stop drinking. Easily one of the shittiest parties I ever went to in college.

That team didn't have a bye week due to Katrina.

I was there and didnt know that one of our starting corners got hurt in warmups.

They toasted the new guy early and often that game, then Russell got hurt in the second half.

We never recovered.

i was a bad fan and sold my SECCG fix in 05. Having seen the near loss to Arkansas it was obvious that we were spent.
I didn't expect it to be that bad because Georgia wasn't really that good. (They got embarrassed by WVU a month later)
Jesse Daniels was out and Richt immediately picked on Steltz with deep throws.
A month later, with fresh legs, LSU skulled dragged a pretty good Miami team.

2 very different seasons and the two teams on the field are similar only in the jerseys they wore.

whats the point? we were spent as a team. we went 11-1 in the regular season, 12 strait games. not only were we down, but jmarc gets hurt and flynn throws pic 6 on his firts series, cant renember if it was 1st play or not.


lets look at the big east or big 12 this year. they are finishing up their season this weekend. that means these schools got to bye weeks before their last game of the year. in 05 lsu didnt have one.

I neve really have bought into the whole exhausted thing. I realize these guys had played 10 games is a row and it probably had something to do with it. But we made a lot of mistakes in that game that had nothing to do with fatigue. That kind of thing would have showed up in the second half. Georgia came right out whipping our arse in the air and on special teams.

I saw it coming. Playing 11 weeks in a row after the effect of two major hurricanes. The situation couldn't be any more different now.
