We Will Win Again

He's not just going to stand there and let you try to tackle him. He would be able to throw off a vast majority of the respondents.

As for the head on tackle drill, most of them would be the proverbial bug splattered on a windshield, but, let them feed their egos.

These so-called "high school" teams are simply conglomerates of all-star players. They have a significant advantage in playing legitimate high school teams, but seem to get ranked as a "high school" nonetheless.

Many of these players dominate against the lesser talented players of other teams. But, when they run into somebody who is as good or better than they are, you see a bunch of crappy (and missed) shots and turnovers, not to mention fouls.

Simmons holds his own against the other "all stars" but no one should presume that he'll be a man among boys at the college level. He will have good games and he will have atrocious games (which our fans will use to claim that he's "overrated"). He'll just be a freshman who will be playing against a bunch of opponents who were all-stars at the high school level and many of them will be older than and have more experience than Ben.

It's the same bunch of lunatics that absolutely cannot accept a defeat in any sport at any time as if God, Himself, has ordained it that LSU should never lose and all of our opponents are just predisposed to be slaughtered. Thus, if we do, then it's somebody's damn fault. It's a coach or player that cost us a victory and is causing the entire world to laugh in scorn at us for losing.

This is exactly what fans of our opponents say of us when they read the board after we lose.

Some fellow a lot smarter than me (and one like him may be already be in this chain but I did not see it) indicates that the color changes as you move your screen back or forward. Sit in the same position. Gradually move the screen back on your notebook or laptop. If you see gold and white, it will change to blue and black. If you see blue and black, move your screen forward gradually. It should change to gold and white. It is a matter of perspective.

Problem solved, it seems, and it explains to me why I first saw it one color only to see it the other color on my next pass.

I don't think any of you critics watch anybody else's games but LSU's. I've seen North Carolina's coach Roy Williams sit idly by as his team was on the short end of an extensive run by Louisville on national television recently. Same thing for Mike K. at Duke.

Runs happen in today's style of basketball game. One team's 8 point run somehow turns into a 12 point run by the other team. Just WATCH basketball on television!

The LSU fan base truly is populated with morons.

This will certainly manifest itself during every baseball game this season - just like it does during every basketball and football game. We have idiots who think that every game should be a one-sided game. Oh, and the other team should never, ever score a run. I don't know why any of our opponents ever show up if they already knew - like some of our fans - that they should lose every game by no less than 10-0.

Trust me, if we had won the game, people like the OP would have gotten on here to complain how - due to poor coaching - we didn't win by 10 points or more. Folks like the OP always have someone else to blame for their discontent (and, they are always discontent).

There are two Zaxby's in Monroe/West Monroe, now.

I recommend that everyone who refuses to refrain themselves from criticizing the basketball team, its coaches and its players on this site take time to watch other games of other teams on television. Just pick out a game involving two teams where you don't care who wins. Then, pretend that you're fans of one or the other of them.

I guarantee you that you will see the same kind of ball play, including turnovers, missed free throws, and missed easy shots. This is the type of play that is systemic with today's version of basketball. This style begins in grade school and is "developed" more and more as the players age.

Go ahead and pick out a so-called great coach, too. Watch his teams play like crap from time to time.

I would hope that we'd stop being so condemning of our own players and team.

Any one of us might have the same thoughts expressed by any of the "Chicken Littles" during LSU games but have the restraint to avoid racing to the Internet and exclaiming our discontent with every missed shot or turnover, ad infinitum.

It's the phenomena of bulletin boards. Once upon a time, one had to keep his little fits to himself or to those in the room with him. Now, folks seem to feel that they must gain ratification of their fits via rant messages.
