Games like these that you NEED to win are the ones where JJ needs to get to work and do some coaching.

aTm is a legit top 10 team and we played on their home court, its understandable to drop one there in an 18 game regular season

But come saturday we need to be ready to play; if we show up, don't play sloppy and look focused we'll win hands down, Bama doesn't match up with us on athletic level by any means.

I really hope JJ has the guys focused and ready, a loss there does wayy more damage than a loss to aTm.

To me this is a must win. If we want to go anywhere we have to find a way to pull it out.

Only because we lost to aTm. This game does not hold nearly as much weight if we would have beat aTm.

Is this one we can be upset about if we lose? Or is that not allowed? I need to be told if we are supposed to win/lose in order to determine by post game reaction.

I agree. We have struggled on the road. We really need to win another SEC road game, and Bama is an average team.

We have not won at Coleman Collisium since 2004 which is pretty unbelievable when you think about some of the good teams we have had over that time period and some of the bad teams they have had over that time. Bottom line it's a tough place and tough environment to play and so I fully expect a knock down drag out and hope we can somehow pull things out in the end and stop the 12 year drought at Coleman.

They are all important now with 7 losses. I do agree the Bama game is a must win simply because LSU is not expected to lose to them. This would be a bad quality loss in looking at RPI at end of the season.

I'm not sure I completely agree. Bama has a top 50 RPI and will be fighting for the tourney as a bubble team. If we win, it will not only help us out RPI wise, but it will also help open up a spot

A&M would have been a signature win though and gave us a bigger RPI boost. We need to beat these average teams and take 2 games against OU, @UK, @USCw, and A&M

i hate this attitude given the sense of urgency the team should have had regarding that game. lsu needs a signature road win and now only has 2 chances - scar and uk.

yeah, you better not comment on factual things like rpi, s.o.s. vs record, conference rank, good wins/bad losses, etc. if you do, the jonestown cult will tell you you're a miserable, petulant hater while they're drinking the lunardi kool aid. jones LOVES lsu. it's his dream job!

no, no, no. the jonestown cult says lunardi has the tigers on the bubble. lsu can cruise the rest of the way don't you know? relax, be patient.

absolutely right. lsu's record vs s.o.s. is pretty poor right now. losing to bama even though they're a decent team would just drive the knife in further.

there's only 13 games left and lsu only has 11 wins. with a poor s.o.s. according to espn, lsu needs a sterling record from here on out. i'm not sure 20 wins will cut it given the s.o.s. and rpi.

Who said anything about cruising?

We do need a sense of urgency, but at the same time, it's only must win if we have to undefeated from here on out in conference (which we don't). There is a margin of error here.
