The oline is good, we run the ball well, we have some effective trick plays and goal line plays, some nice intermediate throws, Mett has improved on turnovers and the receivers have improved on separation. Seriously like Miles said a few deep balls being thrown properly and the A&M game was a blowout. We have every chance in the world to win and we sure as hell won't get blown out.

Yeah man. My thing is to look at what you have and hope for the best. You can be optimistic and still be honest with yourself.

Yes, and very probabilistically you also have a neurotic condition that leads you to post such drivel on the rant. Now shut up and go and change your armor.

blows me away how people look at passing game and assume that the entire team executes the same way.


Reality:

1)Our defense is better than Bama's offense.
2)Bama's special teams (kicking especially) is struggling this year like ours is.


This game will be close.

I agree Roger with you 100%.

Just go look at some of the early prediction threads. There were a lot of people who had bama winning a close game and they were called Bama fans, pussies, etc. and for what? People take this stuff way too seriously.

Based upon what we have seen from this offense for some time now, Les' offensive game plan and philosophy, the failure of Les and Stud to make adjustments, and Bama's defense...I think it is highly realistic that we score 0 points.

I also think it is highly realistic that our defense will play exceptional but nevertheless will wear down over the course of the game due to the vast amount of time they will be on the field.

I don't know why anyone would find this unrealistic. I believe the ones that do are simply basing it on purple and gold homerism and I have to salute them for doing so.




I think all of the people saying we will score zero points and get blown out are looking at it through their 1/9/12 glasses.

I mean it is a message board. Would you rather if people posted their opinions and every response was "Ok, nice opinion man."

If someone came out and started a thread stating that LSU is a freight train and will roll Bama 21-0, they would be rightfull bashed, especially without providing any sound reasoning for that opinion.

So now you just get it out of the way before the game. Nice strategy. Feel better?

I see a freight train coming but it's not the same one you are seeing. Bama is not going to roll us.

The freight train that is coming is the continued, slow decline of LSU on the offensive side of the ball. When does the shite finally hit the fan? How many bullets can Les dodge? How many lucky breaks does he get? When do the dice roll up 'snake eyes'? (Besides 1/9/12)

If the Tigers play from the start & not wait till the 2nd. quarter we can beat Bama. We are about equal in talent but Bama has certainly executed better so far this year. If we don't get our offense in gear this game early we will loose a close one. So far Bama has not played anybody yet this year!

really?

12-16 on field goals

8-8 1-39
1-3 40-50 yards
3-5 50+

I've been very pleased with our kicking game. Our coverage units however have been prone to mistakes

not sure any team can blow-out the Tigers. LSU has 8 legit high draft picks on defense, Mingo, Montgomery, Reid, Simon, Johnson, Minter, Barrow, Mills, etc.

I assure you- It could never be more embarrassing than this thread, and all the others like it.

So our 82-19 head coach has been placed on your "hot seat"?
