Oh ok, well if it seems that way, I guess you are right.

It just seems like every thread you start is predicting doom and gloom for LSU. Just seems that way.

To recap this thread: Georgia has 4 RBs on their team and it's a good thing because they suffered some injuries. LSU is taking a huge risk by only having 4 RBs on the team.

We're going to be in trouble if all of the RBs leave after this year and do not sign any RBs to replace them. Going into a season with 0 RBs is a bad idea.

Florida previously had 0 SEC losses but now that Georgia has injuries Florida has 0 SEC losses.

Anything else?

From your 2 threads today - we have a legit shot at going 7-5 (that's obviously an objective viewpoint


What? I actually said our best shot to run teh table was to blitz more, but we'll probably end up 9-3.

d another team's RB injuries are proof that we took an unnecessary risk. How is constantly assuming the worst being "objective"?


This is how:

Nobody has answered this since I posted it twice, and this is the 3rd time:

If I told you in 2011 that we would lose Ware and Ford early and we wouldn't take a single RB in the '12 and '13 class, would you have called that a mistake?

If you're being honest, the answer is yes.

well...we did take Hill and Brazil, so...

and I know Hill can leave after this year. But he could also stay for another 2 years.

I should've known better than to try and have an objective and fact based argument with LSU fans.

There's a reason the other SEC fans think we're retarded.

You use Georgia as an example, did they make a mistake?

Do I know at the time that we take Hill, Hillard, and Magee and that Hill would turn out to be an all-sec back?

And technically we did take a RB in 2012 in Hill and 2013 in Brazil.

Ya know, you're right. I think we should forfeit future seasons until Coach Miles and his staff finally recruit and sign some quality RBs. I've had enough of this crap!

Okay, now that someone (me) finally agreed with you, will you please stop this foolishness? Thanks!

You're obviously not biased from last year, are you? Must be forgetting 2012 when each team had the same amount of underclassmen leave early (3). Must have also forgotten about 2011 when Alabama had 3 leave early compared to LSU's 2. But obviously ALL of Alabama's players come back and all of LSU's leave early.

And very few, if any, facts.

Hill is class of '11

Brazil is only a RB because he doesn't have a position. You really think this is the kind of guy Les wants in his offense?

I'm not saying we're screwed from the mistake, just that it was dumb. How some of you can't admit that is beyond me.

Bama gets their key players back most years. McCarron, Barrett Jones, Eddy Lacy, CJ Moseley, Jesse Williams.

I think the reason for the mass exodus last year was players unhappy with choking to Bama twice in a row.

didn't say it did hurt LSU. Just because you do something dumb and it didn't hurt, doesn't mean it wasn't dumb. (Drinking and driving, fricking that girl without a condom, bicycling like a retard on a busy street, etc.)
