Look i totally want to be wrong but peole want to compare LSU to USC and Florida and want to be considered elite but then we play weak teams and struggle then give some critism we are not fans.I know USC and florida usually lose a game a year but in between that loss they kick weaker teams butts all over the field and show emotion doing it. LSU seems to struggle thru the whole season and when we lose we lose by 20 or more points. Is it to much to ask the tigers to play with emotion and blow out weaker teams ??


USC was not impressive last night except for one drive, against OSU, who struggled with Navy. UF has rolled up impressive stats agains the Little Sisters of the Poor and their trainees the last two weeks.

Here's a question for you. How many FBS teams are currently 2-0 with 2 wins over BCS conference opponents? I haven't looked it up yet, but I bet you it's fewer than 5.

Yeah, we know...anyone who doesn't agree with your "doom and gloom" is spineless.

I can't recall seeing a post yet here that said we are a great team and a shoe in for the BCS title game...have you?

You seem to be a member of a crowd who wants to be able to say, "see, I told you so." If that's your MO, great...enjoy it. If you think that takes "spine"...great.

Some of us enjoy the now and can wait a tad for the falling sky.

I know that doesn't take spine, but guess what...neither does your BS.

Unfortunately you are right on the money. Our offensive line attrition over the last several years is coming back to haunt us. This is a program issue as is the fact we are so thin on Dline and apparently not that talented there either. Nevis is the only top flight talent we have on the Dline. On the Oline the only top flight guy is Black who has played poorly for two straight games now. We are average at best at the linebacker spot. We are thin at the reciever spot. We are average at safety. Our punting and kicking is average at best. We have struggled with two very average teams so far this year. Wait until Bama, Flrida, Ole Miss, georgia even. I think we have some program issues. We have been in a slow slide for a while now. I see at least 4 losses this year and next year looks really tough. We need to start asking ourselves some hard questions.


You forgot to mention that we play in an old stadium, our mascot isn't even from La., we have average weather (at best), some of the golden girls aren't that hot, and our fans really haven't been able to get any solid tailgating going this year. Oh, and the sky is falling!

LSU was playing FRICKING VANDY!!!

.....a team that is notorious for playing good teams close. Just ask UGA last year when the bulldogs defensive statistics for that game were worse in every single catagory than our matchup with vandy this year.

Some of what you say I agree with, however, dropped passes are sometimes caused by a good rush. The tigers need a lot of work to play with Florida and maybe Alabama and Ole Miss. There's a lot of football left to play and a lot of improvements left for the tigers to make. But, we do have a young quarterback and a new defense. Let's wait and see before we take off the purple and gold glasses.

To the stinkDog Moron
There seem to be alot of dumbasses agreeing with me. Since you know all since you coached little league and went to LSU.
I thought i stated that we seem to be similar to last year. I may not know as much as you but i'll be the first to admit i was wrong if we beat UGA and say auburn but you don't seem like you'll admit were not that good if we lose many this year

Perhaps, but I don't run around shouting out "you are not top 10, you are not top 10" on an LSU forum like a 15 yr as some do.

If you can't enjoy the success that's fine, but don't bore us with your tired, same old same on BS.

FLObserver, I share your concerns for sure. The LB play is gonna be a concern all year I think. The D line has some young guys in there right now, they'll get better with more games.

We are obviously playing it close to the vest on offense, especially with the rain last night. I felt our speed advantage on offense was huge against Vandy, but we didn't exploit it over the middle.

We need to improve alot the next two weeks before UGA. This could easily be an 8-4 year right now.

Sooooooo making a wild claim not based in fact to show or prove just how pathetic LSU is ISNT "designed to cast the worst possible light on the LSU football program"?

What exactly was your point in claiming that both teams we played against WILL finish below .500 this year?
