Using this bs as cover to bash Aranda is pathetic. Watch this: our defense didn’t hold up in the second half because multiple players were hurt late in the Auburn game when instead of putting Auburn away Orgeron went conservative. So it’s actually Orgerons fault our defense couldn’t hold up for 4 full quarters.

See how your bullshite works?

Aside? Did you not see that we had to cover an onside kick?

Two PLAYERS blew the coverage. It doesn’t matter what coverage you’re in, if the corner and the safety both blow their assignments a team like Bama will score. We weren’t in bump and run coverage in the first place but it wouldn’t matter if we were in prevent.

Pressing Jeudy on the line with 1:21 to go up by 12? Sure! Historically bad misstep by Aranda


There was absolutely no reason for this. Just dumb.

Conditioned pussies that’s why. They don’t really have confidence in our team that’s why they’re constantly looking for scapegoats “just in case.” It’s truly sad less than 3 full days removed from beating Bama at Bama.

I would love to go ahead and move from A1abama to 2UA.

We gave up 34 points to one of the greatest offenses in college football history with 2 fluky plays. Big deal, we won the damn game and we control our own destiny. If people are scared to face Bama again on a neutral field because of something that happened near a decade ago with zero remaining coaches and zero remaining players then they’re simply cowards with no grasp on reality. Either you believe in this team or you don’t, riding the fence after what we saw Saturday is gutless.

From the CFP committee

quote:


*How much weight do you guys put in when you look at the final score? Sometimes a team could lose by six and really have been dominated, and sometimes they could lose by 20 and it doesn't necessarily mean they were blown out. How much does the final score weigh into the factor of the way you guys analyze these teams, and does it have any importance to you whatsoever what the numbers are on the scoreboard at the end of the game?

ROB MULLENS: No, we're not looking at the final score. We're watching the games. We understand how the games unfold by watching them. Again, we're fortunate to have the resources provided to us by the CFP that allows us to capture these games and watch them in different formats.

If O gets rid of Aranda then it will be because of that defensive call. If it was called. A championship team simply does not make calls like that!

Any decision the "defensive genius" makes is a bad one.

It’s why CBS showed a how Bama gets in graphic instead of showing LSU celebrating our win. Shameful. Let’s go ahead and imagine if we had lost to them, it would have been 10 minutes alternating between Saban on the sideline, Tua walking on his sudden on-set wooden leg and pictures of Saban’s statue outside.

I'll never understand the hate for Aranda. Is it as simple as fans love to bitch about something?

Stingley should have had help over the top. Just like the CB's had all day. But safety was late reacting. It was the right defense, just wasn't executed by players.

You are almost correct. Delpit was probably a little careless getting depth, but Stingley was supposed to get a bump to slow the receiver up. I think the blame lies split between Delpit and Stingley. Like you, I think Aranda had the correct call. Had Aranda played prevent defense Bama would have scored in 30 seconds, and we'd still have faced an onsides kick. And this board would be filled with "Third and Aranda" posts.

So the team that we just beat on their turf, statistically speaking, will win the rematch on a neutral turf??

Even if that late TD doesn’t happen you’d still hear the “close game” narrative.

I wanted so bad to drive down and make it 40-13 after halftime and we were on our way till that crazy turnover. It’s all good tho.

It's literally 28-28 out of the 56 times it's happened.

ETA: Reposting the data since you and the other guy were so bothered by it in the thread yesterday.

quote:

EDIT: I've added last night's game to the post, and, TL;DR, there have been fifty-six rematches throughout both bowl games and conference championships, and with the Stanford loss, the record of the team that lost first is 28 - 28. Yeah. There is an exactly even split in winning the rematches between both the winners and the losers of the first games.

You have mental issues.

Seriously, I'm sorry if there are things LSU is not perfect at 100% of the time. You're actually the one who seems fragile.

It was a stupid call at that point in the game. You look at everything as risk/reward, and that was high reward/low reward.

Now, go back to sucking your thumb and just avoid these threads that make you uncomfortable. Btw, just remember this thread every time you hear "only lost by 5 points" in reference to Bama's case going forward.

Y'all still think that late Bama TD was inconsequential?
