Like everyone else, I would love to see our passing game evolve. But the best teams are balanced and it’s the threat of a strong running game that makes defenses play man coverage to load the box and create passing opportunities. Brees is so much better when the Saints can run the ball. No di...

This should be on the politics board. People these days are divided enough. I come here to read about footballl to get a break from politics. At a minimum your thread topic should have revealed this was a political rant so I wouldn’t have clicked on it. That goes for either side. We do...

[quote]We are lacking closers[/quote] I thought we were ranked fourth in the nation in recruiting so far this year. Somebody has to be closing, right?...

I am no Orgeron fan foe sure, but keeping it real, if Herman was coaching LSU this year and went 9-3 against the brutal schedule we had, some of those on here bashing Orgeron would be saying Herman is turning LSU around. Few programs have all the resources and recruiting advantages Texas has. ...

We always talk about dbu, but running back is where LSU has more nfl players than most any other team. The tigers currently have an amazing 8 running backs on NFL rosters (I think Ohio State currently has the most defensive backs in the nfl). While Brossette and CEH have performed admirably, th...

Ill give it a shot. Here are the probables: Jay Ward cb Myron Warren de Devonta Lee wr or safety John Emery rb Of the probables, Emery would be barely over 50%. With LSU not having a feature rb next year, LSU is just such a logical place for Emery to go. Somewhere, somehow, they n...

I agree with what Booger said except for the part about the Bama players "wanting" it more. I don't think our lineman got beat because the did not give effort and did not badly want to win the game. They got beat by more athletic linemen across from them. If I got into a fight with Conor McGrego...

I was all set to go to LSU Bama game resigned to the fact that it was not realistic to hope the tigers would win. Of all recent years we have played, this looks to be the best Bama team yet. My defense mechanism is not to get my hopes up so as not to be disappointed if the tigers lose. But tha...

No one on here knows if he is the next Davenport/Shelvin or the next Dorsey/McFarland. No one on here knows if he is going to Bama or LSU. He is a teenager, he might change his mind five times today. I still hope he comes to LSU. It wont change my Saturday morning standing tee time if he...

[quote]How is he a perfect fit for a 3-4 defense[/quote] How is he not? Every 3-4 has a rush linebacker, Jack, Joker, Buck or whatever you want to call him. This guy looks like a perfect rush linebacker in a 3-4. ...

I would put the odds for Lee at 79% instead of 78%, but that's just me. LOL, how does one come up with number like 78% and put it out there with a straight face? ...

Its not a matter of overlooking, our coaches and players are not idiots. They know Miss State is good and the danger of looking past them. The reason people assume its a trap game is because its a game against a good opponent sandwiched in between games against the number 1 and 2 teams in the cou...

They have also taken over playground at Florida street McDonalds, the room with all the little balls you hide under is packed with UGA fans. It’s terrible. ...

I know Georgia is good. This is O’s chance to change the narrative by beating a team everyone agrees is a playoff caliber team. It would sure be a big step in winning me over. You don’t get lucky with a quality team like Georgia and you don’t win because your athletes are better. You have to...

This is a big game for Florida. They have only one loss and get a top ten team at home. They can still win the East. Several years ago Alleva argued to the SEC, and lost the argument, that it is unfair for us to have Florida as a permanent opponent. Florida voted in favor of playing us every ye...

Most unsportsmanlike penalties are the result of a dumb and selfish act by a player. Some segments of a fan base will always be okay with such penalties. When one of their players does it, he has moxie and is firing up his team. When someone on the other team does it, he is a dumb trash talker...

I wouldn’t make Florida the favorite, but they are a top 25 team now. Beating any top 25 team on the road is an accomplishment. Florida has played well since their loss to Kentucky and, as it turns out, Kentucky has a decent team this year. ...

Yes I am not saying no one would be shocked to see us lose all five of those games, I was saying I don’t think anyone would be shocked to see us lose to one or more of these teams along the way. ...

After watching LSU beat Miami and Auburn, I think on a good day LSU could beat most every team they see this year, with the possible exception of Alabama. Georgia looks a good notch above LSU too, but beatable if we play well and get the bounces. After watching LSU beat SE La and La Tech, I th...
