Do any of you 6 and 6 guys want to take a bet by any chance? Or do you want to just get on here and drown in your own tears about how bad we did next season?

I'm all about a bet my self. I'll set the over and under at 7 even. Bring your wallets.

Bull shite !!!

A coach going 9-4 in his first year on the job while competing in the SEC West says otherwise.
There it is. Ladies and gentlemen, last year was Ed's first stint as a HC in the SEC West. Nothing else to know. Carry on.

I'll definitely take any kind of bet you want to make about me saying we would go 6-6. Please show me where I said that. Make sure you carve out plenty of time to look.

I've never been a big gambler or keen on making bets. So please forgive my ignorance here.

When you say you'll set the over and under at 7 even, are you saying that you think LSU will win 7 games?

Again, pardon my ignorance.

but take a good look at the teams that we played last year. Other than Bama and Auburn, the SEC teams we played were dumpster fires.


I could see this being a good argument IF LSU lost these games. LSU only lost two games in the SEC last year. One to the team that won the national championship and a team that finished ranked right behind LSU in the final polls.

quote:

And before you reply back with the "if only o could pick the teams he plays" bullshite that you like to throw out there, we all understand you can only play the teams that you're scheduled to play. So all those teams having shite seasons at the same time aren't o's fault. But losing 4 games in a year where the SEC was as down as it's been in years, is his fault.


Again, LSU only lost two SEC games last season. This is not a good argument.

quote:

Last year was a major disappointment and throw in losing the 2016 Florida game with a possible Sugar Bowl berth on the line, he hasn't done anything to brag about.


Still crying about 2016? I have been told that I can't use 2016 as an example because LSU only had an interim coach. I guess it's okay for the detractors to use it though.

Thank you for your service.

The fans believing doesn't make the team better or worse.

IMO, the LSU administration is not giving them their best chance to succeed by hiring an underqualified coach.

All This silly ban bet crap, this is who needs to step up and ban bet.

No mention of '16, nor even '17. If at the end of '18 we did NOT go undefeated, this moonbat should self ban. No excuses.

Well, the argument is that they weren't very impressive wins. You're saying they'd have been bad losses, but because we won them, that made them impressive? That doesn't make sense unless I'm misunderstanding you.

HC is fine. Miles was clueless. If he can win 9 and 10 games, so can O.



Oh, so we hired him to do exactly what Miles was doing? Makes sense.

So pretty much if anyone thinks LSU sin't going undefeated every year, they are a whiny bitch?


What is it with LSU fans and simple reading comprehension?

My saying I am not a little whiny bitch is not calling others little whiny bitches. I can see who consider themselves whiny bitches though.

If I had said I am not dumb would people be freaking out wrongly thinking I was insulting them? I don't think so. The terminology used apparently kills brain cells or invigorates some that have never been exercised.

Yes, now I am speaking in a demeaning manner.

Oooooh wow. You'd puff your chest out if we won 8 games?

This is so sad what we've become.

I was told any idiot can win 10 games at LSU. Set the over under at 9 and I'll bet all day.

Fricking ridiculous bullshite, we're supposed to be happy with 8 wins?

A lot of people. And for good reason.

Those players read this crappy arse forum and they see what some of you a-holes say.


That's actually kind of insulting to them if you think they care one shred about what we think. They're a lot stronger than you give them credit for.

Happy to. There's no harm in having a discussion though. Some of you would rather cover your ears and go "lalalalala can't hear you" and that's fine, but you can't blame the rest of us for wanting to have an actual discussion. And yes, sometimes it's not always positive. So what? Through the good and the bad, yes-there is some bad sometimes-we all love LSU, whether you like it or not.

Not sure what this has to do with this discussion but thank you for your service.

Yes it is, TR. There's nothing else to understand about that sentence. This is just a lie.

Uh, yes. Again, you don't make a comment like that if that's not what you mean. You must really have zero people skills if you think that's just shite people say.

In a year when the SEC was as bad as it's been in decades as a whole. THANK GOD for that.

quote:

One to the team that won the national championship and a team that finished ranked right behind LSU in the final polls.


One to a team that we haven't beaten since 2011, and have now decided to to take moral victories against, such as, in 2016 when people were bragging about only giving up 10 points to them or last year where some were bragging about out gaining them by 7 yards. But in the end, a loss is a loss.

And the other loss was the worst defeat to that team in the history of the series.

quote:

Again, LSU only lost two SEC games last season. This is not a good argument.


Perhaps it isn't. But beating 6 teams with losing records and one team that finished the season playing 500 ball, and of the 6 SEC wins, 5 of those teams being so bad they fired their coaches isn't a good argument for how "good" the team performed last year either.

quote:

Still crying about 2016? I have been told that I can't use 2016 as an example because LSU only had an interim coach.


I'm not crying. But that's the typical Ree response when he can't defend something that o fricked up. And yes, o was just the interim coach at the time, but that was part of his resume for getting the permanent head coach position. And he failed miserably that game.

I don't believe anyone should hold the 2016 Bama loss against o, but that Florida loss showed o isn't head coach material. At least not in my opinion.

Yea, I've had it up to here hashing and rehashing the Troy loss. Tigers still finished 9-4 which is very respectable.

Arnsparger lost to Miami of OHIO yet that team won the SEC and played in the Sugar Bowl, and Saban lost to UAB, a unit barely into Division I, yet that team finished 8-4 and beat Georgia Tech in the Peach. One upset loss isn't sufficient, IMHO to damn a coach for all time.
