Sure they can win. How many games do you think LSU will be a favorite on from here on out.

What? I don't put money on college football anymore, so I really don't care who's favored.

What some of you don't understand about sports is that teams will lose morale

How ironic. It's attitudes from the fans, as illustrated in the OP, that can feed this loss of morale.
quote:

LSU is real close to being that team that "gives up".

I think the fan base is already there, and that doesn't help the players ONE frickING BIT.
quote:

we have NO LEADERS.

In other words, the team is young - talented - but young.

Look, it doesn't cost me one fricking thing to remain positive about the team. Worse yet, it actually is a real bummer to get all upset about the prospects for the season. So why even go there - just so you can say "I was right" when it all goes to shite?

That's bullshite.

Next game up is winnable. After that, who knows, anything can happen.

I see 4-8! Sorry but unless we get QB and defensive middle play get real that is what it is! I feel 6-6 would be awesome, and this week is where one needs to come from!

The loss of marale to who? The football team? Are you that stupid to think that a post has something to do with the players morale and what the fans are expecting? If we (the fans) could really control the morale of the team I would be all for sunshine pumping. Even the players know they suck right now. Come on man!

I have to disagree here. A few years ago when we had the Lee/Jefferson controversy, LSU still ended with a 9-3 season. I do believe Alabama and Ole Miss will be tough games, but there's no reason not to believe a loss to Kentucky or A&M. Our young team can only get better as the season progresses, and even though this may be a painful year for tiger fans everywhere, we will rebound the following year just as we always have and always will

I stand by my statement. We are young and underdeveloped. At the beginning of the year, I chose to ignore that and believe the coaches could overcome this but I was clearly wrong.

right...we are young and inexperienced......and yet you just said we could win some games based on talent and if the coaches got out of the way.

so the talent of these young and inexperienced kids are going to win us some games in the SEC West as long as the coaches just leave them alone......seems legit


like i said to the OP....as much as he'd like to believe that Miles has won 80% of his games on talent alone....it just doesn't work that way.

What if they win 4 more games? If they win 4 more games they will finish better than 7-5.

I may or may not be that stupid, but that is beyond the scope of this thread. All I'm saying is that the players don't live in a vacuum, they interact with fans. If the entire fan base is walking around with catastrophe syndrome written across their forehead, and talking constantly about firing coaches, and how the players suck, the players will pick up on this and lose morale.

Actually, we can. What do you think booing players and leaving games early does to player morale? Raise it?

frick you, LSU players don't suck. LSU fans? That's a different matter altogether.

oh...gotcha. so if Les Miles were to stay home and leave everything to Cam and Chavis we'd be winning more games right now......seems even more legit.


do y'all ever go back and read some of your post and think "holy shite....what the frick was i thinking? that sounded retarded!"

You can continue the Miles suck off fiesta but some of us have began to realize that the rest of the country was right about him all along

So how do you explain his record if he's such a shitty coach? He's the only constant over his tenure here. So if he's so shitty, how has he managed to average 10 wins a season regardless of coordinators?

great....you didn't address my post though. you just went on some little tirade.

He has just maintained the program by being a good recruiter. Just because you know how build a stock car does not make you a NASCAR driver. I think if you are happy with maintaining then Miles is your guy. If you want good clean elite football then you should look elsewhere. In Miles tenure, he has always had sme facet of his teams that had sloppy play or bad play calling. I can tolerate losing games just not the way we have been losing
