they are.

:smh:

Once again, you misread and misquoted what I typed:

quote:

---

When LSU lost to Auburn, there were posters who said that the season was lost, championships were out of reach

---

Championships were not out of reach at that time. They are after the Bama game, but you don't have a point.

LSU play's for victory even when some goals are out of reach. There are still goals to achieve: victory over Arkansas, victory over Texas A&M, a higher quality bowl, a ten-win season, etc. There are still things to play for. Victory is just one of many goals.

LSU should play for "next year." The team and the coaching staff could have quit.[quote]playing for something long term isnt quitting

playing for something long term isnt quitting

---

If LSU is playing for next year and not for victory, then they are quitting on the goals they set for this year. All of the players would agree with me, particularly the seniors.

The two arent mutually exclusive. I know you thought you had come up with some amazing analogy in your head, but it's a logical fallacy, a false dichotomy.

---

I did not create the dichotomy. I'm just using the dichotomy created by most posters.

Most posters agree that Jennings gives LSU a better chance to win NOW. Many posters want Harris to get experience in the next two games so that LSU will perform better NEXT YEAR. If you believe that Harris gives LSU a better chance to win NOW, you're entitled to your opinion. However, that's the subject of another thread, not this thread.

frick it, I won't run today because I didn't run yesterday; I'll pick it up again on Monday. Screw sales for the rest of this quarter because my numbers for this quarter are shot; I'll start working hard again next quarter. I'm going to lose weight next month because I’ve already eaten badly for this month. I'll work on grades next semester because it's too hard to bring up my grades this semester.

---

Actually, you have it backwards again, If you'rte getting ready for next week in running or whatever, you should be working even harder now to ensure that you have success then.

Again, you seem like a simpleton who doesnt understand that hard work and PROPER preparation now yields results later. Not day of in the moment work.

---

Well, there you go again. misquoting me.

What the hell does playing for "next year" send as a message? That it's okay to fail for the rest of this time period because you've already lost your goals? frick it, I won't run today because I didn't run yesterday; I'll pick it up again on Monday. Screw sales for the rest of this quarter because my numbers for this quarter are shot; I'll start working hard again next quarter. I'm going to lose weight next month because I’ve already eaten badly for this month. I'll work on grades next semester because it's too hard to bring up my grades this semester.

I was giving specific examples of similar BAD messages. One should never quit in the current time period to focus on the following time period.

quote:

You can win and get ready for next year. Your post is an abject failure.

Yes, you can. But AGAIN, I did not create the dichotomy. I am merely repeating the thoughts of most of the posters. And you either deliberately missed the entire point of the OP or you're too stupid to understand.
