When will people realize that preseason predictions don't mean shite... They also predicted Auburn to win the SEC.

We were legitimately the #2 team in the country and looked like a team that was getting better and better.

No, we were a young, thin team with some tantalizing offensive talent (sophomores starting at QB, RB, and main WR; explosive freshmen making impressions in reserve).

Didn't pass very well at Miss St, escaped with a win. Anyone who bitches about Miles' clock management and considered hiring Mullens is a hypocrite; he got a terrible penalty on a try for a game-winning FG, to make a long kick longer.

Fournette ran roughshod over the cupcakes, while the defense struggled.

Auburn was in far worse disarray than LSU at any point this season, we blew them up at home in a revenge game.

South Carolina had a terrible year, and they put up a fight for a half in what should have been their home game; instead it was sent here to a dead Tiger Stadium. Spurrier quit afterwards, I'm guessing the vibe was already in the locker room before he left.

Florida came here with a scrub at QB, and fought us tooth and nail. Game came down to the final play.

This is not the makings of a legit #2 team, it's a good young team playing pretty near the peak of their ability.

Vs Bama- outclassed on the field at nearly every position. Our best player, Fournette, is basically a match for their RB, but the rest of the team couldn't match up. That's fine; Alabama is probably the team favored to win it all. They had a stupid fluke loss to another team they outclassed (but still had more talent on the field than we did).

Vs Arkansas- a big, physical, more experienced team that was playing for it's season vs us. Beat us, and they end up ok. Lose to us, and this season was a disaster. As compared to LSU- shocked by Bama, but still 7-1; and in no way mentally ready to flush the Bama game and get ready for the intensity Arkansas brought. We got whipped.

Ole Miss- road game, revenge game for them (see Auburn above, and let's be honest, more talent at plenty of key positions. Another whipping, we crumbled when Fournette's run was called back. He gets that early long run to count, the game might be different.

A&M- home game, coach is in jeopardy, fanbase is full of venom and hate going in. LSU circled the wagons and fought hard, and got a flawed but solid win vs a flawed but solid opponent.

we started out great and were a legit #2 team in the country with the Heisman front runner

Fournette was smoke and mirrors. Impressive downhill runner vs overmatched defenses when he broke through the box. Was consistently thrown for losses when he would try to cut away from the play, instead of settling for a no-gain (this was happening as early as the Syracuse game late, if you remember). A good player, but he beat precisely nobody by bouncing it outside.

All that matters is what you do during the season and we started out great and were a legit #2 team in the country with the Heisman front runner. Then we REGRESSED.

anyone who knows that a football has laces, knows that this tiger team was a very over rated #2. Anyone using just a little common sense, who watched this team including myself knew this was a 3 or 4 loss team even as we were praised for being undefeated and boasting the #1 ranked leader for the heisman.

anyone who couldn't recognize how undisciplined, we were, how it was never corrected from the opening kickoff of the very first game until the final snap of the last game when every single week it was suppose to be worked on, how terrible our quarterbacking was throughout the season even as that weakness was being hidden, by the run heavy offense, when it was said that "our quarterback is doing what he's asked to do", and you would believe that crap, it takes some dumb arse mfkers who don't know shite to swallow that this was a good enough team to be ranked in the top 10. the fact is they are some dumb arse frickheads who after 13+ weeks the coach still can't get them to go on a snap count. Or keep the defense from lining up offside. That is the simple shite, how in the hell are they expected to learn plays if they can't learn to stay on sides?????
