Jesus man! We palyed a couple bad games, we are still undefeated and we are a better team than Fla. I don't give a shite what we looked like last week, if we come out and play our game we leave with a W. Get over it.

O RLY? So when we were losing to Tulane at half time in 2007


we also lost to kentucky (i understand losing to arkansas)

i mean its not uncommon for championship teams to have games where they don't play at their best, (i hate to say it but Alabama played like shite last year in tuscaloosa)

If a game is decided by less than 2 TDs, why do you assume that the winning team played poorly? Is it possible that the underdog played out of their minds and played up?

we just need to put it all together for a complete game. All the pieces are there.

If we can do it, we can go undefeated. If not, we lose 2/3.

The problem I have is this team and especially the QB seems comfortable with the mediocrity it has been displaying. No sense of personal pride to represent the school and themselves well.

For some reason the assumption has been that if LSU hasn't won by more than 3 points, they actually lost. See Alabama last year, and Auburn this year. Regardless that we rung up the W, either the media (Bama game) or media and LSU fans (Auburn game) have treated it like we actually lost.

We also apparently lost to Towson this week if you believe the rant.

People have really short memories. Almost every game Auburn played that year went down to the wire and either Cam or Fairley would bail them out.

posts like this seriously make me think about never coming back here.

I ask myself "Why?....Why go back there and read some other dumbass' 2 cents, when you know its just going to be the stupidest shite you have ever read (until the next thread pops up), and is just going to piss you off?"


frick


I will be back to see OPs response to this:

Like when Ohio state won the national title?

Like when LSU won it in 07, losing 9-10 at half?

Like Alabama needing to block a chip shot FG to beat a Tennessee team that didn't go bowling, when they won in 09?

Like Alabama beating Georgia southern by 24 points last season?

Like Auburn in '10 when 90% of their games were 1 possession games?

Like Florida in 08 losing to ole miss?

If you try not to get pissed off, it's actually quite funny sometimes.

You clowns don't get it. It is not necessarily about the final score It is about the effort. If you guys are fine with a QB stumbling over his own damn feet and running backs fumbling, tons of dropped passes and repetitive and senseless penalties then you will be OK with a 9-3 season. On the other hand I would like to see us win a championship and this team doesn't appear at this point to have the personal pride to put their best effort on display every week.
That is bothersome.

i think you are incorrect. sounds like something you would read in a textbook. every team has it's ups and downs. hell, the old dallas cowboys (when they were winning championships) seemed to always play to the level of their competition and then win the super bowl. all teams have off games.

We haven't lost yet quit saying how we played vs. Towson is how we will perform against UF or Bama.

I really hope you are just trolling.
