re: What would have been your reaction if LSU would have dropped the pop-up?

Awww you don’t like criticism of PM? He’s being payed a lot of $ at the premier program in the country.Tell him to stop being scared of recruiting players that are bigger than him

I have never been that way either. One never knows how one might react in such situations. Different people respond differently to adversity. Strangely enough, my reaction is a long period of silence.

2 examples: When Albert Pujols hit the mammoth blast off of Brad Lidge in the 2005 playoffs when the Astros were within an out of going to the World Series and the Saints game in the playoffs last year. Both times, instead of screaming, ranting, raving, yelling, cursing, or breaking things....I just sat there silently not sure exactly what to do. For the Astros game, it was me, another diehard Astro fan, and another fella who didn't care who won watching the game. Me and the other Astro fan just sat there and didn't say a word. The other friend was intelligent enough to not make some sort of smart-arse comment because he knew that he would get his arse kicked if he opened his mouth......as for the Saints game, I just happened to be at my mom's house and it was basically me watching alone while my mom popped in occasionally to see what happened. We watched the final play together....her reaction was "Oh My God", then she went back into the kitchen. I sat there in silence for about 20 minutes before she came back in and asked if I was ok.

If that had happened to LSU last night....this board would have disintegrated and the internet would have been broken, along with many various appliances and dishes through out Louisiana.

Yup. And that's awesome for us. Doesn't mean it wouldn't have been classic LSU to choke away--or my high school, my two college teams, AND the Saints. It would have been exactly like those teams have historically done. Although I dig it that LSU baseball is better in the luck and clutch moments departments

Unless you are very very young you have seen LSU win multiple NC in football and baseball and the saints win a SB
So your sports experience is better than 90% of sports fans yet you think your teams choke all the time ?

1) you don't know how my high school chokes harder than a porn star, and Tech chokes every single time it matters.
2) LSU has obviously had success as of the '00s, but it's been inconsistent since then...and, of course, the '90s.
3) I'm happy for them and I can get into it because it is LSU, but I don't really care about baseball.
4) Miracle of miracles the '09 season was, as well as all of the Saints' offensive (almost exclusively) success during the Peyton era alone, but that doesn't include the rest of our history--including some extremely mediocre seasons before this last.

So, yes. LSU football has a history of success, but inconsistent when you include before Saban came and the past couple or three years. And, as mentioned, this includes my high school and other college teams. So, as a general fan of LSU (mostly football, of course), it would've been another "well there ya go" moment, like the Saints getting the hook and ladder to work against the Jaguars for a playoff spot under Jim Haslett, then our second greatest kicker John Carney missed the extra point to lose by one point.

I know. I crap on baseball fanboys' parades. But my original comment wasn't exactly rude or incorrect, other than in the context of strictly LSU baseball.

Kramer did basically the same thing against UF didn't he?
