Can anyone argue that FSU was the most underrated team in the country at the beginning of the season? They were buried in the polls and are now #15 in the BCS with a 6-1 record.

Interestingly enough when I first came across this board were telling me the FSU offense would fail under Fisher especially clowns like BigJ and Maximus.

Fisher produced an immediate recruiting spike and he has turned Ponder into a legitamate college quarterback who Fisher says will play in the NFL. He is only a sophomore eligibility wise.

The ragging was a lot of fun when Crowton is playing with Jimbo's offensive talent and Fisher is playing with Jeff Bowdens.

The two teams are at a crossroads now. We will see how well Crowton recruits and DEVELOPES quarterbacks. Not that he recruited Lee he was a Fisher recruit also.

The players at FSU believe in Fisher they would jump off a cliff forr the guy and he is as much fun watching on the sidelines as the game itself at times the way he jumps up and down and follows the players around in their ear.

He is not conservative either some games there is hardly a bubble screen and he has the quarterbacks go down field quite often. I said from the beginning some of the conservative tags were all Lester and I say the same now.

So I say for all the trash talkers around here how does it feel looking up the ladder at FSU and the bubble screen? Fisher is going to make a better head coach than Miles will ever be.

There were factions that wanted Fisher to remain as head coach at LSU but were over ruled. I personally think Lester always resented it and wanted Fisher out and the bad memories with it.

It was a move that could prove costly to him in the long run.

If Florida and Georgia were overrated at #'s 5 and 1, then how do validate LSU's "not-overrated" status using these same overrated rankings of the two teams that whipped LSU? This logic (if you can even call it that) is incredibly flawed.

It's Leslie. And I think most of the conservative stuff was on Jimbo. He just wasn't as fearless as he was early in his LSU days. And he was pretty conservative with your O last year. I've seen a few games and he looks to be calling stuff better now though.

If you had Drew Weathrforrd at quarterback and your only receivers were were Cody Fagg, Carr and Parker would you not be conservative. He called a lot of bubbles last year because that is all Drew can throw.

FSU lost the Wake game by going for the downs this year. Ponder threw five picks and they did not use the run or bubble much at all. Of course it was actually Ponder's first full game at quarterback.

But they do need to beat the gators at Doak this year or make it close. 42-12 won't get it.

To the Buckeye Fan:

You got routed by USC. It wasn't even close. You were never even in the game. This was supposed to be the year that you guys were rebuilding for. Then you also lose to Penn St. Don't shake your head at LSU until we join the ranks of the overrated like you guys.


does OSU have to do with LSU. Notice, I didn't question you having OSU in the overrated list. You are a BIG TIME HOMER, though, if you don't think LSU is overrated compared to their preseason rankings.

Your entire logic is flawed. I do not even know where to start.
