We certainly suck relative to our talent.

LSU just needs to fire a couple of DC's.
Plenty of talent, bad schemes. The defense couldn't stop a drain with a hedgehog's hairball and the offense was mistake prone, but you expect that with a first year QB.

Remember before the season they said our defense would be better than last year, even without Dorsey? Well, the first signs of a problem were against poor offensive teams (Miss. St. & Auburn) that were able to freely move the ball on us. It's one thing to lose a nailbiter, but Fl. handed us our asses & while at times we looked to be able to catch GA, they kept having open receivers & breaking long runs. This defense is nowhere close to last year, but talent wise, can't understand why such a big drop off- maybe, just maybe, it could be the coaches???

No. what's childish is your running your mouth about how fricking great Saban/Muschamp were
and not willing to give anybody else a decent chance.

And by decent chance, I mean more than 1/2 a season.

Agreed!

You're the one injecting that bullshite and getting upset - "fricking great" - when it's responding to with truth.

We've allowed 50 or more points in 3 of our last 10 games. Something we hadn't done once - not ONE time - in the last 10 years and only 3 other times in our SEC games history - ever.

Yet you're worried about me giving people a decent chance? What a joke you are.

I think you need a woman! Divorce your fist!

Miles is twice the coach that Coker or Saban is. Alabama can have Saban...I'll take coach Lesticles any day over Saban.





all those Saban suckers are really pissing me off. They loved Miles last January.

So we are on the decline because voters overestimated us this year...yet any rational SEC fan knew LSU would have trouble with a freshman QB.


Ding Ding Ding!
We have a winner!

If yall think Saban's so great why don't you just root for Bama?

Giving up the 50 pts to two explosive teams is not the end of the world. We're 5-2 with a chance to still have a great season with a young team. Get some perspective!

Two things I try to avoid reading, as they both usually just leave me confused and really don't contain a shred of truth beyond what I assign them:

--Tea leaves.

--ESPN.

Maybe the only thing declining is ESPN's College Football analysis. You guys will end being a thorn in our arse long before we want you to. But forgive us if we enjoy it while we can.

At the risk of making you guys feel any better....but come on - that is just stupid. Look at Auburn, Tennessee, Miami, etc. - and these are just schools I dislike. There are more out there besides them. Okay, enough time spent on this stupidity.

Yea, we were considered a top team at the beginning of the year. And we are obviously not unbeatable now.
