i don't think we should have run PA at all

scott was gashing them on short-yardage. so he got stuffed once, who cares?

should have been scott, quinn, scott, scott on those 4 downs

Who's the ***hole that came up with that "running up the score" saying anyways?There is no such thing as running up the score,it's just called scoring.I remember a great quote by the insane Herm Edwards that read pwe play to win the game.

and someone should be held accountable, I hope Alleva was watching the second half and will make the necessary adjustments. Maybe some of the TAF bigshots will put out the word that this will not be tolerated at LSU...hopefully some of the insiders here will get some info on this soon...

in the traditional football fan's eyes, it was classless and all that

Actually the traditional view is running it up is fair game. Ironically, in 1916 GT beat Cumberland 222-0 (!) even though Cumberland had already canceled their football program but couldn't get out of the game without paying a $3,000 penalty to GT. Cumberland wound up having to field a scrub team of 14 players. I read somewhere once that Tech actually received a sportsmanship award for their performance (probably from the GA legislature ). Anyway, with that history, Tech has no room to complain about running up a score.

i recall lafell on the sidelines at the end of the game when it was finally out of reach. it was not out of reach when we first got to 38. lafell is one out of many wr that will be back nxt yr. you still need to be bitched slapped no matter how rt or smart you are about lsu football. be happy for once

I just don't get what it achieved guys. We didn't score as much as we would have if we just ran it down their throats and we look like dicks. Is there some bad blood or did somebody say something to piss LSU off this week?

I know it is the ACC, but I would like an explantion from Coach Miles. it seems out of character to me.

One comment they made last night that I agreed with is "why the Hell are we running so much option? At least with Scott anyway" They see that shite all the time and that is one thing Scott really isn't built for IMO, I wouldn't have ran him in that one play. We were steamrolling them up the middle.

Also......1st and goal from the 2 ft line......why not QB sneak up the middle until you get it?

We only look like "dicks" to "pussies". That seems appropriate considering who got fricked.

He said that we've been planning to run that play for a while now, and at the end of the season we were getting itchy. Probably had something to do with Paul Johnson's comments and the fact that everyone was shitting on LSU.

PBT they were talking about why is LSU running the option against a defense that practices against it everyday. It worked for the most part when we ran it.

WTF is everyone worried about anyway?? That someone is going to run it up on us in the future as retribution?? Really?? Who gives a frick?

If LSU gets pounded by someone 72-0 then they deserve it for strapping on the pads against someone like that.

If we were running the ball with impunity and scored 5 more touchdowns would anyone being bitching? WTF difference does it make how you score or what plays you call? You should be on the field, playing every down like its important, in every game. Anything less is puss-play.

Why does the state of Georgia seem to be FULL of pussies? I used to just hate UGA for being such cry babies, but now I have to hate GT too? And our OWN fans? You guys need to get your balls out of your purse and STFU.
