LSU has the best two quality wins of the season. It’s fun to watch sport shows again, LSU is relevant. I have watched a handful of shows and they argue about everything: who is the best player, who will be in the playoffs, what conference is bets (after the sec), who is leading for heisman. You...

[quote]I don't think so. May need a "sweep" action to provide a read option. But, I don't believe it is designed to "fool" anyone. If a QB hands to a RB - you have 9 blocking 11. In the Wild Cat - you have 10 blocking 11. If the RB is patient and able to have vision to pick up the creases, it is ...

I would venture to say that in the history of sports talk radio and sports message boards, that some fans for every team that ever lost a close game blamed it on the refs. Do this experiment. See what big team loses a close game on Saturday next week. Go to their team message board the next day...

[quote]The 2011 Bama/LSU game was one of the most exciting games I’ve ever watched and the final score was 9-6. I think it set the record for most future NFL players on one field and you could tell. [/quote] The amount of money LSU would have to pay for that type of publicity would be astronomica...

The big difference in the schedule is substituting Texas for Miami and Vanderbilt for Georgia. I would say next year Texas at Texas will probably be a tougher match than Miami at a neutral site, but not by a lot. Getting Vanderbilt instead of Georgia is what makes the schedule easier. Our ...

[quote]Danielson is a AU homer. Recruits don’t care about the what a commentator say most are at the game anyways. [/quote] Auburn fans were calling him an LSU homer. That's how you know an announcer is not biased, when fans from both teams claim he is. LSU is recruiting more than a hundred ...

"I love doing this game, its a bring your big boy pants game. These players came to these schools to play physical football." I am paraphrasing what he said, but he was clearly excited about calling a game between what he considered two big boy programs. That couldn't hurt if any recruits were ...

[quote]They have dumbass fans. He’s won a natty as a OC. he’s won the sec and played for a natty as a HC. WON WEST last year. He can beat saban. He’s contending more often than not. He has a nice resume. He has great concepts. He’s a good coach. [/quote] You make him sound like Les Miles. ...

[quote]Damn you irritate me posting bull shite like this. Your fondness for Etling as a person has you blinded. Then a year later you're posting some long, drawn-out goofy arse shite like this!??. Man, get a life. I should whip your arse for this. Forget completion stats. Etling could not make the decisi...

In before holy wall of text. :cheers:...

What would LSU's record be if Vegas set the spreads today for the balance of our (brutal) schedule? La tech at home - this is the only one we know, opened up at -21 and 1/2, down to -20 now. I am sure it will be called a trap game because La tech is not a bad team Ole Miss at home - I am gues...

[quote]Very articulate and thought provoking post......you sir get an upvote![/quote]\ Thanks pal, I know if I ever write more than two paragraphs on here I will get hammered by the "holy wall of text" crowd. :lol: They post so fast, its like they sit around the computer all day on the rant ...

[quote]Joe Burrow can win games for you Etling cannot end of story[/quote] So far that's true. But Etling had kickers lose games for him, would Burrow be less of a qb if we missed the kick? Etling led a great comeback over Auburn last year. He would have beat them the year before with another s...

I think its fair to say that between the two, Etling and Burrow, Burrow's arrival at LSU has been way more hyped. Etling was viewed as a possible game manager, someone who would not win games but at least not lose them. Burrow comes in with more of a halo around his head, the savior who will deliver...

Clock management; LSU managed the clock perfectly on the last drive. They left no seconds on the clock and played the percentages by playing for a high percentage field goal rather than risk trying to score a td. Yes it was basic clock mgt you would expect from good teams, but in the Miles era cl...

I don’t think these guys have anything against LSU, they just have the same questions a lot of us do. Miami was bad at the end of last season, so it is hard to rate our win. Auburn has a very good team. Few will question a win over Auburn. Given the question marks heading into the season abou...

The tiger band is such an important part of the whole LSU football experience, sometimes I think I take them for granted. The contrast between the LSU band and the Miami band at ATT stadium was hard to explain to anyone not there. It’s like if it was a battle of the bands, the tiger band would hav...

[quote]Don’t think it will change anything [/quote] Because 18 yr old kids who verbally commit to one college never change their mind and commit to another? ...

I am a glass half full guy and it’s hard to see much better than 9-3 with the murderers row schedule LSU has. The six most challenging games will be Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, A&M, State and Auburn. Splitting those six games is not likely to make some tiger fans happy, but realistically would b...

I think its cool we have an offensive guard/tackle playing on our special teams defense. I assume he is there because he is listed at 6ft 6. The coaches must have put him in the middle of field goal defense team to do just what he did, jump high and try to get a paw on the ball. I don't know...
