re: DEFENSE

Posted by RobRocknRoll on 1/4/13 at 1:09 pm
heck, u can't force the D to save the team time & time again. They had injuries & they'd been on the field all day--
best Pro def players cannot carry a team all day long, remember Saints in Ricky Jackson era:
GERAT defense all day long but *lost* consistently,
never forget the year we had 4 LB's in Pro bowl:

didn't make a difference, eh?


Tiger D is great,
Our Off lacked the ability to put teams away too many times this year.


Was it 7 or maybe 8 times we had 3-and-out in the 2nd half ?
I'm tired of arse-whoopin' Def that has to
save our team--not just win--but *save* our team too often.

The D even looked fatigued in last half of the season, c'mon, it's getting to be a serious problem.

As usual Tiger Def players, will go high in the draft: Simon, Keke & SonicSam or any of 'em will be drooled over by Pros. :pimp:


Champion teams PUT opponents AWAY,
--but hey if u want to keep fans cheering for rah-rah exciting 4th quarter passing show, that's fine--
I'd rather crush teams & win Crystal Trophies.
:cheers:
i heard SI just got a time machine, went back & replaced the cover of Dicka-&-RickyWilliams
with this duo.
Not a bad pic btw. i like Miles' classic family-friendly look.
not bad. Outside of the Ravens, the Texans r the only AFcL
team i've enjoyed watching in years.

And it's good to think of how p!ss'd JerryFairyJones would
be if Houston had a Lombardi.

predictable: how lame some of the trolling has become..
and how much of the top 10 is dominated by SEC teams.

Miles' strangeness is also predictable, but sharing Fescue on tv makes it enjoyable.
(and who can forget Willie Taggart trying the turf in THE Death Valley?))
:rotflmao:
stop it yall--this food is seaux good some lame team is probly gonna steal more of our recipes for greatness...
oh wait, they've tried; Our food is still better, our football is still better. :pimp:
OK then, let the kik4ss food posting continue.

10 wins is great, but a lot of those wins could just have easily been losses, to teams far inferior to LSU.

yep.
It's just a fact: in Miles tenure, he gets 100 % out of everyone--
but underachieves at QB & Receivers.

We will always drop a key game--the once a year, "define our team" as THE best or part of the rest-- until this is fixed.

Les is the best head coach u could ask for--
but even the greatest college & pro coaches have assistants and/or coordinators who manage a part of their system that is not
their strong-suit.


For Les, it's Offense's TEMPO & play calling that are out-of-sorts quite often.

LSU's D strikes FEAR into other teams...not so much our Offense, we can be straight-up about it or we can act like "wow it's great" but i expect the BEST from LSU.

Our Defense looked fatigued this year after saving our butts for 1st half of season.
It's getting old.

Sonic Sam hug solid gold.

& the pp7's always warm the heart but alot of these are too good to rate.

Tho that Les-Brain is gonna stir some ideas up in gif-making land.
sings Queen in the shower?
i knew there was SOMETHING good he was doing.
thanx Sal.
i hoped it wouldn't be bigoted, and i def wanted to hear the straight up way it sounded-- b4 any spin got added or more folks got emotional over it.


G E A U X.....Tigers

i luv that we're up to 145 pages on this rant :pimp:
my first thought is: whatever he said, what do u expect: he's the TX long snapper!

ok, i didn't see/hear the comment:
--can u tell me if he sounded like he
was saying that
he's "lucky to have more opportunities than others/minorities" type of thing
or
did it sound clearly like "i'm better because i'm white"?

- i def would like to know if UT has a star player that dumb and/or bigoted.

re: Coordination of LSU's offense

Posted by RobRocknRoll on 12/6/12 at 9:23 pm
i agree that alot of it is falling-into this pattern of our top-talent demolishes alot of teams yet it DOES NOT work that way against the Fla & Bama's of the world.

Play action makes life on olineman a little easier. As my uncle who played oline at LSU in the early 80's put it, "Pass blocking is a bitch, but run blocking is just hitting the shite out of people". We used 0 play action early on in the season. ..
I think play action could have solved some of our early offensive shittyness


YEP.

Our tempo & play selection seems odd & erratic to be honest--

The 1 thing i notice, year after year:
we get 100 % out of our defense, game-in-game-out...

Yet we're always underachieving w/ respect to Off skill positions re: QB & receiver--

it's not here n there,
it is year after year @ this point.

Train to Bham from NOLA is $54. You could certainly get a rental after that, drive the 2.5 hours, and have a car.


i lived in hotLanta for a few years & alotta us liked that option..

FOR the record on flying there: Hartsfield, as the Delta home/hub, seems to play games--
i've always thought they over-booked & over-priced fares quite often;
Seemingly made no sense:
a few yrs ago, i bought a last-minute ticket during holiday-rush & was cheaper than the prices i'd paid for a year or 2 leading up that that point..
go figure.

re: LSU Needs New Helmet Design!!!

Posted by RobRocknRoll on 12/6/12 at 8:51 pm
i say keep current helmet for the good luck,
but LSU doesn't need luck,
we got skillz

:pimp:

I'd only want new 1 if fans get to vote--but i guess that'd probly cause
too much angst 4 the athletic dept, still, that would be sweet to see
alotta options/designs..

As long as we rotate-in a few unique helmets
per season, i'm happy,
i liked the white one via Nike/charity/Tulane game while back--
& the metallic-gold and i wish we'd use the dark-purple one @ some point [from 2006]-->



((dammitt--i can't keep my photobucket-picture-link from making this so-FRICKIN' big,
i tried scaling it down/smaller on photobucket,
but still huge here,
--apologies for posterizing our page here:banghead:

..if anyone can
tell me more on the scoop on the dark purple helmet, much appreciated.

-->these shots of it are
from a thread i ran across after a quick google that turned up various LSU fans' stuff on forum @
'nickatnite on dualsportridersoflouisiana'
--btw, idk anything about that forum--i dig the Nat'l Champ images & helmets

:cheers:
it should be put into that video of the Les-basketball-with-his-kids-S.VanPelt-shoes-video;-)

re: Hello LSU Brethren

Posted by RobRocknRoll on 12/6/12 at 7:53 pm
as the classic rock song goes, "welcome my friends to the show that never ends.. step inside,
step inside.."

btw, i like ur "KnowLa" pun-- as someone who once lived there, i cannot believe i never saw that before!
as Hawkeye Pierce once said,
"What's sNew?"
i'd love to see it edited into that
classic Cows-parachuting-Chik-Fil-A commercial...

Those cows always rock.
& i try not 2 expect any top 10's or Top Plays to be as good as they should anyway.
i hope Shep can leave LSU w/ a great Bowl performance,
heck he was over-hype'd a bit 2much & his entire career w/ Tigers became: "ok he'll have that break-out game THIS week.."

Spencer: 2 Tds
Shep hopefully gets 1
Hill: 2
Hillard: 1
--i'd like 2see Mett hit Landry & Boone for a few big plays for confidence / SWAG to build on next season :pimp:

Warning::: i'm getting us back into grumpy-debate here, cause i gotta weigh-in on
"who's better when teams beat each other in a merry go round":

IT's all about PRESSURE :

1) PRESSURE performance : I say we're almost dead even w/ Bama.. Mett had mega-pressure & he, along w/ rest of team, delivered.

Mett had do-or-die, "become the guy we'd been waiting for cause it's now or never"
--hi pressure, was our ONLY shot @ Nat'l Championship & we dominated most aspects of the game all night long,
--but Les pulled-too-many-weird-calls (3, 4 maybe 5?).

2) PRESSURE performance :
A&M is a bit better at this point than us or Bama-- because they also had their season on the line + hostile Bama home crowd YET THEY WON.

3) TIMING : LSU & Bama looked a bit less-powerful, just NOT-so-bad4ss as the season went on, in final games-heck, Bama really shoulda whipp'd UGA, but barely won.]

4) RESULT : M-O-N-E-Y decides everything due to idiotic system:
B.C.S.= BuLLsh!t Causing Stupidity.
