Georgia Tech vs. LSU. Is this the best the SEC's got? LSU? Because Georgia Tech might be up for even more of a challenge under Paul Johnson. The Tigers were pounded by Georgia, a team Georgia Tech already beat. LSU has the nation's No. 17-ranked rushing defense, and that's what will make this matchup interesting. The Tigers' problems this season have been at quarterback, where Jarrett Lee has thrown 14 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.
so she just went to our media page and looked at jarret lee's #'s it just tickes me off do a little research about our situation that Lee might not even play in the bowl game.. just don't post canned stats you found on our media page...
crappy excuse for writing

She got it a little mixed up. Jarret Lee pounded the tigers against Georgia.

Maybe she has done her research??
I'd think a sportswriter would get info from Miles or Crowton before TD posters. Hope that doesn't hurt your feelings.
Possibly JJ is not lookin so good in practice? Now that the Co-Ds are focusing on the run, AND also on saving their own butts?

She didn't say anything about Lee playing in the bowl game. She said LSU has had problems at the QB position, where Jarrett Lee has thrown...etc. That's a crappy reality, not crappy writing.

I guess the SEC should apologize for only sending the defending national champion against the weak-arse ACC.

Dammit...I don't know if anyone has ever mentioned this before, but I think ESPN hates LSU.

it's sucks because it's true. sorry

To answer her question: No.
Florida and Alabama are the best the SEC has. And why would either be invited to this bowl?

What'd she do/ say that was wrong? The ACC beat writer talked some smack about the SEC opponent. Oh no.
Posted on 12/10/08 at 11:20 am to LATECHgradLSUfan
i think it's funny. if we beat them, which is very POSSIBLE, she'll feel pretty stupid.....
Posted on 12/10/08 at 11:26 am to tigeramongpigs
She should feel stupid for asking, "Is this the best the SEC's got?"
Uh, no. The best the SEC's got is playing for the national championship. The second-best the SEC's got is playing in the Sugar Bowl, another BCS bowl.
No problem with her references to the QB situation, but she came off as if she didn't give much thought to what she wrote and probably didn't go back and read it again before turning it in.
(And now I see someone beat me to the punch on my main point. Cool.)

Please pay no regard to Heather.
We don't call her Heather Dimwit for no reason. Constant errors, lack of research, insane/borderline retarded columns...
On the ACC scout boards when people bring up her articles during an argument/discussion they are automatically laughed off of the board and forfeit whatever point they are trying to make.

I think it is a piss poor write-up. But that's what you get during bowl season. People writing things about teams they know nothing about. It's obvious she just looked in our media guide and found a couple of stats that she thought sounded good. She makes the defense sound good and Lee sound bad, when everyone knows that the defense has been just as big if not more of a problem this year, and that Lee may not play in the game. Nothing to fret about. Just someone that doesn't know what they're writing about.

.5% chance this "sportswriter" will ever speak to miles or crowton in her lifetime.
I think you are vastly overestimating the pull of someone just because they have a column. Ppl pull crap off of shite like the rant all the time and add it to their "story."

I dont see why that shouldnt apply here. If the LSU folks havent done enough research to realize she is an idiot yet then the point they are making is invalid.
