Wow, so witty. You came up with that yourself?

I thought the decision to seemingly play for the FG there was dumb. LSU had it 1st-10 at the AU 35 with just under 7:00 minutes to go. LSU was trailing by 2. They then ran 3 conservative plays milking roughly 3:00 off the clock. I would have rather seen them be more aggressive in that series and try to get a TD vs. seemingly settling for a FG attempt and running clock. The reason is:

A. A FG still only put you up by one, thus still allowing a one of the best kickers in the SEC to potentially beat you with a FG.

B. LSU's kickers have been shaky (at best) and you essentially conceded a 40+ yarder by going conservative. If he misses, you've run down the clock an are still losing

Hindsight is 20/20, but I would have rather keep the ball in my offense's hands vs. essentially playing for a FG and still allowing a FG to beat you at the the end.

However, once LSU didn't convert the 3rd down, I think the choice to kick the FG was right. If you don't convert on 4th vs. one of the best defenses in the SEC, then you've just run the clock down to 3:00 and passed on a shot to take the lead. If you are going to essentially play for a FG in that particular series of downs (which LSU did by valuing running time off the clock vs. trying to push for a TD), then you have to try the FG. Otherwise, you stay aggressive on the 3 previous plays

Thanks for some real feedback, other than acting like a 3 year old.

I respect your opinion.

No arguments here.

You realize you're doing the opposite yet equal thing that you're complaining about here, right?

Not really. You're wrong.

My call is the right call. It's the higher percentage play. That's the difference.

I'm not hating, but I also thought we should have gone for it to make it a little easier on Culp. But that SOB came through in the clutch - twice.

The funny part is, had Culp missed the field goal and we lose - guarantee we would be seeing a ton of threads asking why we didn't go for it.

WA HAPPEN? I TOT COACH O SAID OUR KICKER SUCKS??? FIRE HIM!

42 yarder is low percentage?

Yes. Given the amount of time left on the clock and how we were moving the ball all game. You move the ball closer and make it easier on your kicker, every time. Every analyst agrees.

Sorry that you guys don't watch football much.

How quickly you guys forget that we lost to TROY. frickING TROY.

AT HOME

Coach O is a terrible fricking coach and he was exposed. He does nothing to help us win games. His call to kick a field goal instead of going for it on fourth and a half yard shows how stupid he really is. He got lucky. If we don't make that long field goal - you are all calling for his head. It was not the high percentage play.

Give me a break. You don't go from losing to Troy - to all of the sudden beating a top 10 team because someone former player "lit into your team". There is a fundamental difference between what we're doing schematically now versus at the start of the season.

AKA - Coach O has given full reigns to Aranda and Canada because he's completely fricking clueless as to how to coach a football team. Now he has to bring in former players to motivate the team because they don't understand his RAW RAW incoherent ramblings?

Just give me the head coaching job, guarantee I can do a better job for a lot less money.

It highlights the coaching problem we have.

Our "turning point" for the team is Duke Riley chewing the team out? What does Coach O even do? Is he that soft that he can't motivate his own team?

Why are we paying Coach O so much money, if he needs other people to motivate the team? Clearly, he can't call plays. He doesn't know defense. He's an average defensive line coach.

So what is his value add here at LSU exactly?

Can't we just hire a random person from the Rant to be "Head Coach" for 100K a year? We would see absolutely no dropoff. My vote is for Owlfan as he's my favorite poster.

you obviously put a lot of time in on this post. sorry to say but i'm not buyin' it. basketball will never overtake football as the #1 sport at LSU and efforts to do that would truly be insane.

---

No worries. I am not bothered that the majority of people here do not buy into my theory. I am not sure if there is any truth to it at all, just speculation on my part. I simply can't wrap my head around the decisions Alleva is making, so I'm trying to somehow justify it, or put myself in his shoes.

And it doesn't mean basketball replaces football as #1 entirely - and permanently, by the way. We can shift focus temporarily, and make a more concerted effort to winning in basketball short term, then move back to football when we feel the opportunity to win again arises. Hopefully by that point, Wade has established us as a perennial sweet 16 team and contender for championships.

I think people need to realize that we have a very sensitive budget, maybe more-so than our rival colleges. That gives us less flexibility in where we spend money. Yes, our football team brings in a ton of revenue, and will continue to do so, even with Coach Orgeron. I think that's what Alleva sees, so he's looking to boost our revenue and profit elsewhere (basketball), while maintaining football revenue.
