I called for the safety at the 4:00 minute mark. However, I'm glad it played out the way it did....

[quote]No distractions this point on. Georgia is the only team we are facing now. They are the only focus. LSU will be focused.[/quote] No distractions, no excuses. Need to get the win against UGA on the road. Not that the rankings mean that much at this point, but being 5-0 going against th...

[quote]Jezzzz, The Tigers are #4 in the nation & undefeated & you all are bitching. [/quote] Yeah, that's the point. We have had some great play (e.g., the MSU goal line stand)along with some poor play. I am optismistic on our prospects and pleased with our national ranking. This is truly...

[quote]UW, Vandy, ULL, and MSU are not exactly quality opponents.[/quote] I consider victories on the road against UW and MSU to be of note. Locker and Polk of UW were legitimate threats. MSU has a decent offense in the rankings....

[quote]I want to see a well prepared Tiger team go out and play a well played game. Yeah, we might lose, yeah, we might win by a squeaker, but just once this year I want to see LSU play quality football on both sides of the ball.[/quote] I guess it is a matter of expectations. I don't expect the...

[quote]The single biggest thing I see missing is the "nasty" attitude in the trenches. We need to get back to people hating to play LSU! Other teams used to comment on how beat up their team was the next week after playing LSU.. I don't hear that comment anymore.... [/quote] I totally ag...

[quote]You address this to everyone as if this is the majority opinion. It's not. Only a handful of idiots are peddling this nonsense.[/quote] I scanned the posts and saw a lot of crazy comments. Sorry if it sounded like I was suggesting that everyone was spouting flames/negative crap. It wasn'...

Calm Down

It is not time to fire coaches. It is not time to give up on our team. There are plenty things to feel good about after the MSU game. Although, I say this in the context of a college team that is only four games into the season with still a lot of things to work on: Offense: • I have con...
[quote]Thanks. I appreciate what you say. I just know from 25-plus years of doing it, there is no substitute for being there. That's what journalism is. That's why governments and organizations try to restrict access. Someone else here said it best: It's about being your eyes and ears at the game, a...
[quote]Chicken applied for credentials for me, but the NCAA denied the request, saying the site does not meet its criteria for credentials (press passes). As I posted last week, this was no surprise. LSU won't credential TD either and says the SEC credentialed me for Hoover in error and wouldn't do ...
[quote]With the way things are going, I was wondering if I should continue to do it. Lots of folks are telling me to, but I just don't know...... Let me know what you think...[/quote] Yes, depending on your investment choices....

[quote]"Young team" is just an excuse for "I dunno why we can't play." It rests in coaching. Leadership. Fundamentals. Execution. Character. Motivation. Focus. Excellence. Winning attitudes. All rests with coaching. LSU has been short-changed this season in that department.[/quote] Agree....

[quote]Despite popular belief, jumping up and down, booing, and demanding the coaches jobs aren't going to do anything really.[/quote] I agree that "jumping up and down and booing" will not accomplish much. However, adding a DC and a QB coach, along with making other coaching adjustments, could ...

[quote]yes the lack of leadership and true playmakers such as dorsey, highsmith, steltz, hester, flynn, and doucet. i think its 50/50 coaches and players.[/quote] In this game that is big business, the coaches are paid well and have a high-level of control (recruiting, training, motivating, prepa...

[quote]I had to laugh at this. This statement is very telling and sad that you had to word it this way. But it's true.[/quote] I just don't understand the defensive preparation. When we have had time to prepare in Bowl games (OSU, ND, Miami), our defense was solid. Pre-game preparation was rela...

[quote]Very bad, IMO, WR coaching. McCarthy needs to be one of the first to go........[/quote] Last year, I remember LaFell watching an interception in the Kentucky game that he could have prevented. But in the Auburn game later in the season last year, LaFell did a good job in preventing an inte...

[quote]I agree with most of your post, esp. w coaching on the defensive side of the ball, but last time I checked none of the coaches has made a play inside the white lines. At some point you have to put responsibility on the players. Look, you have the same coaches from last year, minus a few, incl...
