Whether negative or positive, doesn’t matter. They are mostly positive given the nature. EVERYONE is getting better, working hard, and making progress. How that stacks up to the rest of the competition? The fans and media certainly don’t know. The coaches will have some questions too. They are great for entertainment but you should have a neutral outlook on season.

Did they say they would be one of worst LSU defenses statistically in history?

Isn’t that what the entire sport is about?

They do if they’re watching. It’s not hard to tell if someone consistently sucks, or is making big plays. That’s kind of their job.

I for one enjoy hearing about practice. I think anyone with half a brain knows you’ll find out what you have vs an opponent though.

I went to a scrimmage before the 03 season. The offense looked like CRAP. I mean it could not do anything. I walked away thinking we were in trouble. Nope. It was just our defense was that good.

Were they? Because I seem to remember reading about how the offense was absolutely thrashing the defense every single rep last year. I read some hopieum that speights was just going against an elite offense and that the dbs would round in to form. But I don’t remember a single practice report claiming anyone on that defense looked good.

Don’t post pics of holding fish. (I know we love it and we won’t stop fishing) but to most girls it’s a turnoff and you just go into the pile of everyone who posts fishing pics.

That dude was the biggest transfer let down we have had in some time. He physically couldn’t handle the SEC.

Just like preseason predictions of who's going to be in bowl games. It's weird.

Yep. Haven’t won an opener in 4 years. Not listening to the fall camp reports anymore.
