Regardless of your opinion of betting games there were a lot of people that took a bath on LSU's futile performance against North Carolina. The Line opened at even was taken off the board then repoened at LSU minus 6.5 going all the way to LSU minus 10 prior to kickoff. That means millions and millions of dollars were bet on LSU because of the public perception that LSU should be able to stomp an undermanned opponent. The problem with this performance on National Television is that it severely damaged our reputation. You can call it a win if you want but it was a disgraceful performance that showed once again the total lack of discipline this team plays with. Turnovers and penalties are, by in large, a sign of unprepared teams. A game like this gives you some idea of how people get down on LSU. We represent the SEC when we play games like this and other fans of SEC schools expect us to be able to play to that high standard. This current staff is an embarrassment to the proud tradition of LSU Football. But it all makes sense when you think about it when your making 4 million a year where is the sense of urgency to do anything different! Les is Suffering from Jamarcus Russell syndrome.
