Seriously?? I've not once said that we were/are the better team and that there should be no discussion about who is #2. Quit throwing out petty labels just to make yourself feel a little tougher, you coonass corndog.
I bet you feel better now huh?

I understand that, but no one is debating your standing atop the polls; no one at all. This entire discussion would probably not be taking place had a)LSU stomped a hole in our skulls on 11/5 or b)OK St, Stan and Oregon all not lost in one weekend


I would love to believe a), but it's tough. I thought we were clearly the stronger team, the longer the game wore on. If anything, it was close because of OUR self-inflicted mistakes - not accounting for TR out of the backfield, ball security in the passing game and a missed chance for 7. Ya'll were forced to attempt long field goals and tactically, relying on your defense you were able to try long FGs instead of punt.

You're not one of the people saying it, but the vast majority of Bama fans, and a good plurality of the sports media all make the case "the better team lost". The evidence isn't there, except for people with an agenda. They would have that agenda even if LSU won by 18 points.

No, you loss because you were stopped. I am sick and tired of hearing all the reasons Bama imploded on their own. Sore azz losers can't face the fact that y'all were BEAT. PERIOD. Now get your azzes ready for the next beatdown, cause it's comin. LSU never gets any props for their play, it's always about how will they lose. This team is just flat great. You Bama homers just don't get it, it's not always about you. Just because you field a good team doesn't automatically make you the best. Believe me there are others out there better than you. OSU for one. Go ahead and argue that your body of work is better than theirs. Now, go back in your hole, tool.

Yeah, this is pretty much my point also. It's like no one dropped off the script to CLM saying "Dude, you are not supposed to stop the Alabama dynasty". It's like Bama is the only team from the SEC that the media approves of. JMO, anyway.

he was absolutely correct about his second point, though. Alabama is not in the discussion if Oregon hadn't dropped another one and OK State would have won.

Yeah, I should have given him props about his b). That is where part of the Gumps' valid points come from - other teams losing is not Alabama's fault. My counter to all of that is - in 2007 - we played back "in" by getting into the SEC-CG and winning that game. I would never had advocated (I do not now, nor will I ever advocate this) an LSU team getting into the big game without winning the SEC-W.

I will not be comfortable going to the game if we lose to UGA in the SEC-W. I don't know if I advocate that, either. But, rules say #1 plays #2...

Well, admitting your ignorance is the first step to correcting it. Admitting you don't give a shite is a sure sign that you aren't worth talking with.

Forget about the kicking game.. we are better in that phase which makes us 33% better than Bama. Gumps should be concerned how Bama was giving up in OT and LSU looked vastly better in all 3 phases. OT was not even close. That should be what Bama is concerned about.

Shouldn't happen again!


Your right because our Qb's won't play that bad again and we will use our speed difference more this time to whip win.

Look at the pot calling the kettle black. No matter how hard you try, you cannot say that your team lost without qulifying it in some form or fashion. There ALWAYS has to be a reason for which YOUR team screwed it up. And just because I mention how tired I am of listening to you ramble doesn't make me ignorant. You don't know me, reserve your comments about me.

LSU beat Bama because our Special Teams as a whole is better. Regardless of what anyone else says, there are 3 phases of football. We were evenly matched in offense and defense, but our ST was better on Nov.5th.



+1

If Bama fans want to argue this, talk to Saban and ask him about the kicker(s) and why did he put Maze out there to return a punt when he had a gimpy ankle? He's the only one that can return punts?

9-6. Over and done.

No doubt our ST have struggled - all year. Can't kickoff for shite, kickoff coverage has given up too many big plays, etc. And no, we have more returners. All I can hope for is that 40-something days is enough time to fix some of it.....
