re: Did the 2018 and 2019 thrashing of Georgia cause the 2-point conversion?

I don’t understand. On the list of things to be upset about in this game, the 2-point conversion should be way, way down the list. It’s not even on my list.

Next time, stop them. It’s not Georgia’s job to keep the score down at that point.

Pretty simple, if you don’t like it, stop it.

Had the roles been reversed and the tigers did it you all would be talking about how it was an alpha move and shite.

Again from people that never coached or played which is why you don’t understand. There are written rules and then understood rules like u don’t run up score on SEC teams for no reason, you don’t help other teams against SEC teams, you don’t disparage other SEC teams or coaches in public, etc.

This are really more important

In the era of analytics, going for 2 isn't running up the score. There's very little difference between being up 25 or 26. 27, on the other hand, means the best we can do is tie with 3 TDs, 3 2 point conversions and a FG.

Were we still slinging the ball around trying to score? We shouldn't have a problem with them continuing to play either. Running the score up would have been if they had thrown the ball and tried to score after Nussmeier's fumble.

They scored that touchdown at the beginning of the 4th quarter. Their next three drives, they didn't throw a single pass. In fact, they didn't throw a single pass in the entire 4th quarter.

This is not what running up the score looks like, and it's a pretty sad indication of where we are as a society that people are so up in their feelings as to get offended by this.

Y’all are putting wayyyy too much thought into this. If it were reversed we’d all be saying “if you don’t want us to score then stop us”. It wasn’t a personal jab or anything like that. Kirby praised the effort of our players and tipped his hat to BK. It’s not that big a deal. Let’s move on.

It is a slap in the face. No one goes for 2 in that scenario unless they have beef. Kirby was probably butthurt LSU kicked his arse the past 2 times

Guy’s the defending national champ, on the verge of winning another, and the hottest coach in the country right now. I highly doubt he’s butt hurt by a loss that happened 3/4 year ago.

Conspiracy theory: point spread was 17.5 at kickoff I think. By going for 2 you went up more than a TD (27) to keep it above the spread

Half kidding!

up 4 TD's going for 2 is kind of bullshite but it's lsu's job to stop it etc.

when lsu was beating georgia's brains in in 2019 in the SECCG, burrow could have scored more points but the game was over with at that point.

Why does this bother people so much?
because this board is filled with overly emotional children.

It's our job to stop our opponent. I don't care if they're leading by 1 point or 31. Stop them.

Instead of bitching about a 2-point conversion, maybe we should be bitching that we gave up so damn many points.

He was know as the coach right after nick, Kelly is a better Coach, an he knows it.
Took Kirby 6 years to beat nick, Kelly did it his first year in.

We beat them by exactly 27 in 2019. That 2pt put them up by 27.

I don't think so, but turnabout is fair play. They will get their comeuppance from LSU soon.
