I'm not sure what any of this bullshite has to do with anything, but as an LSU fan, life is pretty great right now. If you can't be excited going into this season, then something is wrong with your character and this is your miserable problem, not mine.

Turn on your sarcasm detector, Brochacho. You wanna talk about other folks being miserable? Anyone who works the word scinitilla into a post on the Rant absolutely screams, "Please look at my shiny intellect! I'll deconstruct people's posts and tell them they have personal problems based on my amateur hour psychiatrists routine here on the Rant!"

Check it out, dude. Miles has dogged Garrett in the past, and he's dogged out Mett in public here. I don't agree with it.

I admit, he was right to do it with Garrett, and neither of us knows whether he was right to do it here. But, the track record is that he bats .000% as far as using that for motivation.

I simply do not-ever-advocate taking someting public with a player. Ever. I'd prefer if that were kept in-house. Lord knows he's capable of keeping things super quiet amongst players that have issues. There are several right now-as well as former ones-that he's kept off-the-field or attitude-related concerns completely hush-hush.

Beyond that, there's a double standard being applied when his starter plays like horese-shite and he never calls him out in public to be accountable.

It annoys me. Downright pisses me off. But, let's treat this like your name is Blake Carrington, & this is some Dynasty bullshite, bro.

Assuming this is true, nobody with a lick of sense is going to insert an unproven, untested, possibly worthless Mettenberger into the starting lineup. Not even Saban.

I'm sorry, but are you so galatically stupid that you think I've typed somewhere that I think Mett should start?

Seriously, go dig that up, or push away from the keyboard now. Either way, I get a kick out of folks who insult the intelligence of others they disagree with while attributing arguments to those they disagree with as if they aren't going to be called out for it.

I do agree with you, though. Being able to argue against what you've completely made up that I'm arguing for does make you look really effective.

If only I'd ever said that. At any point.

Douche.

There really was no reason to take an impersonal argument/discussion and make it personal?

I'm not going review every post of your and try to distinguish it in this thread and others and from posts of other people.

Galactically stupid is absolutely false of course, although I am certainly going to make misstatements from time to time.

Since this is an unimportant internet site, discussing relatively unimportant topics, I'm not really concerned.

I think the tenor of your posts speak for themselves.

My apologies. That was the screen name "Hot Carl" that responded with the amateur hour schtick about folks who disagree with his takes obviously having personal problems/being miserable/etc.

Which I always love. Someone disagrees with your take about LSU, and its gotta be because they're looking at life through a cracked rear view mirror, or some other chicken soup for his insecure soul type meandering mumblings.

You didn't make it personal. He did. So consider those comments directed at him. I was merely responding in kind.

I don't think Mett should start. I do know that we talked about an open competition in Spring, and Mett got zero reps with the 1st team. I'm not advocating splitting all the reps up 3 ways for Mett, Lee & JJ, but that talk of an open competition was just that: lip service.

I think it speaks to how oblivious some folks here are when they think that Miles was ever telling the truth about that competition being open.

The bottom line is that the zone read and the option based elements of our offense aren't going anywhere, and Mettenberger & Lee's collective inability (honest assessment) to run those parts of the offense give them a huge disadvantage, and-if we stay with that base offense-their insertion into the lineup would mean our production would go down.

You simply aren't going to scare teams with those two kids running options & zone-reads, etc.

So, if you knew we were keeping that offense, and you knew that wasn't going anywhere, you should've realized that Jordan is the cat we'll ride or die with in 2011. Thinking anything else was buying into Miles shopworn coachspeak and semiplatitutdes. The reality is that this offense can only be run & executed properly by Jordan.

The passing plays may be executed better by someone else, but when you come back the next play and have to read the Defensive End on a zone-option play, there's no other way to look at it: Jordan is the only one who can do this effectively.
