i could honestly care less about your opinion of my opinion.


The correct expression is couldn't care less. When I see people say this expression wrong I assume that they don't know how to speak English well, and are therefore not very intelligent and therefore don't understand basketball very well. Or maybe you are saying you do care about my opinion of your opinion.
"Poor Chalmers, Haslem, Miller, and Battier are likely never to make a basketball team again."

Well yes that is an exaggeration but Haslem, Miller, and Battier are all having the worst shooting seasons of their career. And even if Lebron does care about what people write about him, that's not why I brought that up. What I'm saying is that it's impossible to win an argument with someone who doesn't like Lebron because no matter how much evidence you bring to support you, they will just say things like he has no heart, and he has no rings, and he disappears in the 4th. When someone jumps so quickly to the "he doesn't have any rings" argument I immediately assume that they either don't watch many games and just listen to mainstream media, or they just don't really understand much about basketball.
The reason we bring up Kobe and MJ is because we are pointing out how unfairly Lebron is judged just because you don't like him. So he had a chance to hit a big three last night from the corner down the stretch. It was in and out. If he makes that shot and the Heat go on to win is he clutch? He hit a big three from the wing in game 4 but the Heat again lost. If they win would anyone be talking about that shot as being clutch? It seems to me that clutch is directly associated with winning in the Lebron haters' minds. Just don't tell me that guy isn't clutch. If you say that I feel like you didn't watch any of the playoffs last year and then you heard the media and all the casual NBA fans bashing him after the finals and saying that Wade is better than him so you jumped on the bandwagon. He was big shot after big shot during their entire run to the finals last year. And yes he didnt play well in the finals and that is inexcusable but don't base a guy's whole career on one series.
God, I am so sick of people saying that Lebron has no heart. I get that what he did was quite a douche move with "The Decision" but all you people who hate him will never say that he does anything right. He dominated the whole Pacers series while D Wade played terrible the whole series, then when Wade goes for 40 in the closeout game and Lebron has 28, (still a solid game) you all say that Lebron can't close in big games. And I love how you'll sit there and say that Kobe and MJ would do anything to win games while Lebron won't. I get that Lebron had a terrible outing in the finals last year, but he dominated the entire playoffs before that. THen I watch Kobe blow 3 games in the Thunder series by having costly turnovers late and shooting the Lakers out of the game during the last few minutes and then go into a press conference and throw Pau under the bus as if everything depended on that last possession. Then I also watch him throw a hissy fit when Steve Blake takes a wide open three when Kobe is double teamed and not open. And this is the guy that everybody loves. Potential game tying or game winning shots in the 4th quarter in playoffs. MJ 9-18. LBJ 5-12. Kobe 7-27. And don't tell me numbers don't matter because I'm actually bringing up facts, meanwhile all the Lebron haters just say I'm watching the game and he has no heart. Give me something more than just saying he disappears without an explanation.
I have a friend that works for the team. He said they both looked ok. Said neither one looked much better than the other and they didn't really try any difficult throws.
I definitely expect to see a very run-heavy attack. It's Les' style man. I mean Jamarcus could sling the ball more than anyone in the nation but when we played a good team you could count on us just pounding the ball and throwing the short slants. Then if we're down late and NEED a deep ball we'll go for it. With everything I've seen from Les since he's been here I think we'd be fools to expect him to come out and just be throwing the ball all over the place.

its tough to cheer for the worst QB in the history of LSU football who never took any blame for himself and then knifed Les Miles in the back after giving him everything without having to earn it.

Thank you. I'm so sick of hearing that I should root for JJ just because he played for LSU. Obviously I pulled for LSU to do well when he was here, but why should I root for a guy that is a terrible teammate, never takes blame for himself, and is a terrible player on the field? I think the perfect example of who JJ is is before the championship game he said this game should decide the champion no matter what. Then after the game he said he thinks we should get a share of the title. Every other player they interviewed said Bama should get all of it. How are you gonna make an argument for yourself as the champ when you just got blanked and embarrassed in your hometown? Then he went and threw the coaching staff under the bus in typical JJ fashion. He's literally my least favorite LSU athlete of all time.

Statistics are for losers. LSU is a winner. And the score board and history books back me up.



Haha. I will never post sarcastically again. My first post is so dumb and ridiculous I thought everyone would immediately realize I was joking. Instead almost everyone thinks I'm being serious.

Ok this whole thing was not meant to be taken seriously at all. I'm trying to prep people for what Bama will be saying after the game. I guarantee if we win the first thing out of their mouths will be that we only won because it was a home game.

This is so unfair!

Posted by tmart2912 on 12/4/11 at 8:06 pm
First Alabama outplays us in the regular season, and they are unlucky enough to have bad field goal kickers, which is the only reason they lost. LSU also got a lucky interception which should have been called a completion for Bama. Now they are in the championship and have to play LSU in New Orleans. This is practically a home game for LSU. They would kill us if they had another chance at us on a true neutral field. How can anyone expect them to have a chance in New Orleans? This whole thing has been rigged from the beginning for LSU to win the championship. College football should be ashamed of themselves for the way they have constructed not only the regular season but the Championship game. When will Alabama catch a break?

defenses can easily game plan for JL, not the same with JJ.



Have you watched LSU the two seasons before this one? Our offense didn't exactly scare defenses.

I would think any one with half a brain would realize it doesn't really matter which QB is back there right now. This team has been so good at every other position, the QB spot is almost irrelevent.


If you believe that a team can be so good that the QB spot is irrelevant then you, sir, are an idiot. LSU is very good but they are not unbeatable. The QB is very relevant to every football team ever. That's why people care so much. They want the team to be as good as it can be.
quote:

We're a unanimous #1, 10-0 and control our own destiny....and people are bitching about who the COACH is playing at QB and why.

WHO THE HELL CARES....



I almost feel like this is an example of you overlooking Arkansas. You don't care who we play at QB? Arkansas will probably be around #5 in the nation when we play them, and you don't think that who we play at QB is important? Also on that note, I don't think people would be reacting this same way if JJ had led us to 10-0. I think most of people's worry stems from the fact that Lee led us to 8-0 and then played poorly against Bama. Now we seem to be on track to completely change the formula that got us to where we are and many people are concerned that it may not be the best option for the team. That's why people care.

quote:

I'm thinking Les has better information and more football knowledge to make that decision than the assclowns on this board...if that makes me a homer, Oh well!



This seems to me like you are one of the ones who thinks any fan that disagrees with Les is an idiot. Did Les not have some huge clock management blunders over the last few years that have cost us games. The difference was we lost those games so it was ok to criticize him. Just because we haven't lost yet, doesn't mean Les isn't making mistakes. Are we only allowed to express concern after a loss?
quote:

Exactly what loss are you talking about? Last year when we lossed to Arky? Aub? Explain



Haha. Meant to say win. My bad. The point I was trying to make is that people shouldn't be called idiots or negaters just because they have something they disagree with after a win.

Let's get one thing straight about Les.

Posted by tmart2912 on 11/13/11 at 6:53 pm
Ok, let me just say that I think Les is a really good coach. I really do. But, just because he is a good coach doesn't mean that he is infallible and can't make a mistake. It's so annoying how anytime someone disagrees with Les they are bombarded with posters calling them negaters and rantards and saying "GTFO we are 10-0." Just because we win games doesn't mean we are perfect. If someone expresses concern after a loss it means that they are worried about the future. So stop acting like anyone who thinks LSU should do some things differently is an idiot. It is amazing to me how many people seem to be completely overlooking Arkansas, a team that beat us last year and is much better this year. This season is far from over my friends. By no means should we be relaxed and think that we are fine just because we beat Bama. We beat Bama last year too.

Instead of taking career stats, why don't we just look who has had the best regular season? The best season by either qb was Lee's season this year. He was much better than Jefferson was last year.

quote:

If you take Lee's worst season then you should equally remove 2010 for Jefferson.




It's just not fair to talk about something that was 3 years ago when you're talking about who's the best for us right now. Now it's a different story when Jefferson had two full seasons and didn't seem to improve. Especially when his second season was just last year.

re: Saban is a joke...

Posted by tmart2912 on 11/12/11 at 11:13 am to
He went into Alabama, went 6-6 his first year and pulled in the number 1 recruiting class. They've been competing for national championships every year since then and they have won one. They missed three field goals in regulation that easily could have been made and won the game for them. LSU got the better of a lot of swing plays in that game. Saban is far from a joke and in my opinion still the best coach in football. I'm not saying he can't be out coached because I think Les did it last year. I think this year both coaches coached about evenly and LSU just has the better team. But you need to give the man his respect. LSU is not where they are now without him.
quote:

Give it a rest man...
The play was dirty reaching to slow a player from behind, but he didn't intend to hurt anyone or throw the man down. He just wanted to slow him if he could get away with it to give the return man more time.
He got caught and flagged, its over.


+100

I've heard so many people hate on Tyrann for this play talking about how dirty it was and I just don't understand it. Just because a play is illegal doesn't mean it was dirty. Illegal blocks happen pretty much every play. He made a mistake. Just because the guy got hurt doesn't mean he was trying to hurt him.He was simply trying to help us get a better return and he made a mistake. Why does everyone keep acting like this was the the dirtiest play ever?
It's ridiculous how Lee has been great all year and then he has one bad game and people say he doesn't have it. He had a bad game. It happens. Jefferson played better last night. Lee has outplayed Jefferson this whole year, but did Les decide that Jefferson doesn't have it? No. He kept faith in him knowing that his skill set could help us win later down the road. That's why he was able to perform last night and help us win. We would be fools to give up on a guy who has played well for 7 out of nine games. (Bama and Kentucky) Keep playing Lee and he will help us win as the season goes just like Jefferson did last night.

You can not set up the run with the pass it does not work..



Sorry man I have to disagree. You're telling me if we consistently get yards with the short passes that the defense won't start playing more to defend the pass? Then when they start to have their linebackers back off to defend the pass, we hit them with the run. It works both ways in my opinion. It just seemed like Tampa always knew when we were going to run and we just did it anyway, resulting in a good amount of no gains or losses. If a team is playing to stop the run, call a pass play and Drew will eat them alive, especially on short passes, he will put them on the money.
