And the country. Same thing when you play in the SEC.

We could have easily lost our last 2 games of this year. We are very fortunate to have 10 wins with the way we finished the season.


I dunno. LSU controlled those games going into the back of the 4th quarters. By your logic we could have won the two we lost.

Our offense was putrid that game and I don't think one lineman (no matter how good he is) would have made a significant difference

Our O-line was abysmal in that game. Blue would have helped then too. Hell, we really didn't need those players. If our passing game looked like it did for the 2nd half of the season in that game we'd have won

we shouldn't of needed a TM7 type player to help defeat Bama (and TM7 wasn't the best cover corner at LSU). He could have made a difference in the game but I don't think the last drive, but who knows.

Well exactly, who knows? He could have been the difference maker

I think there's a whole lot of truth to that. Imagine, for just a second, in real life (say, at a sports bar or something): LSU just finished the game, ends season 10-2 and in the fricking top 10 yet again. One guy starts bitching about Miles etc; a couple people laugh and tell him to STFU, and everybody else just ignores Mr Negativity. Shunned and alone, he gets on Tigerdroppings to rant about how awful everything is.

scoob!!! great post.

i'm a positigah and watching football alll day.
signed in on rant to read the pain in the voice of all the negatigahs.
i posted the psychosis involved w/ negatigahs on another post. i'm trying to have compassion for these oh-so-negative people. they don't realize they are just talking about their own low self esteem. negaturds are mentally ill. they cannot say anything positive because they have no positiveness within themselves.

yada, yada,

negaturds, don't stfu. i am observing your pain.

Alabama is on its way to winning 3/4. We're in the back seat. Fair or unfair, that's how it is.


Then go root for them.

2 things UGA and Bama have in common. They dont play any of the top 3 teams from the other division. UF, UGA, LSU, Bama, USC, TAMU are all good teams.

the sloppy wins vs bad teams(aub, townson, ole miss, ark) turn into losses against good teams (ALA, FL)

but you don't care what the ugly wins look like?

if we commit 20 penalties and have 4 turnovers vs Ole Miss and barely win, you don't care, do you?

i mean hey, there is no way that type of play could actually hurt us vs a good opponent.,, nah, no way,, not a chance!

it's a win on paper!!! That's all that matters!!! How dare someone dissect the good and the bad of ANY game


Best response I have seen so far to all the stupid arse we won thats all that matters posts.

Do you dispute my characterization that we STRUGGLED to beat a 5-5 Ole Miss team and a sub-.500 Arkansas team?


I don't dispute it 312, but I understand that when things went against us vs Bama all the goals for the season were gone, and it's hard to stay motivated. Given that they were grinding against teams that were desperately trying to salvage their seasons, I think we did well.

Why does everyone just assume they'll beat UGA?


This.

Right now, aside from maybe A&M, Georgia might be playing better football than anybody in the country.

312- What fortune 500 company are you ceo of? You are the #1 doner to LSU athletics right? You are the richest person in the world right? If not these, you are the #1 in the field of your employment right?

You don't tolerate #2, so you are #1 RIGHT?

this. this years team damn near layed down after losing to bama and then beating state. esp. the defense. but also our run blocking seemed like it was '09 all over again. but we eked out the last two victories so a lot can be said about that. i just hope we don't go to atlanta for the chik bowl. i would rather play tejas in the cotton. let's face it; there are 6 really good teams in the sec and with johnny football being a highly desired commondity we are probaly 5th in the pecking order for bowl selection.

All I read in this thread is "wah wah we didn't look good enough in winning.". That's what it basically boils down to here.

People say we only beat 2 good teams and forget the 2 in top 15 we did beat


All I ever ask when people complain is who do you want as our coach. Saban isn't coming back and that kills some.they compare us to Bama when no one in countRy compares to them better than us.
So what realistic option do people want? You show a good one and I'll support a change.

It's ok to be jealous but I've come to the conclusion that the SEC will do absolutely anything to give Bama the easiest road possible to the NC.

How many other coaches catch so much flak for "barely winning?" We win so often, that we as fans get to dictate how pretty it should look? Sounds like an elite program kind of problem to me.

It is a rare time in history when LSU is ever better than Alabama. Just look at the history of the teams and of the SEC. This has very little to do with the coach. If you compare Saban vs Miles when both are at LSU, then Miles has equalled and actually outperformed Saban. With rare exception Saban was a 9-3 or 10-2 coach here.

Saban at Alabama is a different animal.

Fact is, this is the golden age of LSU football, and we still haven't equalled or surpassed Alabama. This again has very little to do with the coach.

Why is this directed towards me? I didn't say anything about this whatsoever

Bama just curb stomped AhBarn 49-zip, who we struggled to beat 12-10, back when we still had a defense. I have trouble comparing the two.
