The only way this LSU team sees the SEC championship game will be as paid spectators.

Some of you idiots on this message board amaze me. The more posts you have on the Rant, the smarter you are about LSU football? If that's the case then we have many, many geniuses on here.
I made an observation. You don't have to agree with it; just don't be disagreeable about it.
I stand by my opinion that we need MORE speed. Why do you think we have so few QB sacks, or even hurries for that matter? Why so few sacks by the LB's?
Why so few sacks by blitzing safeties or corners?
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THERE IN TIME TO GET THE SACK! Maybe that's why the coaches don't blitz more.
I was an LSU fan before most of you were even a thought in your mother's mind so don't question my loyalty. I want LSU to get better, don't you?
If you think coaches don't make mistakes in judgement concerning the ability of players, game planning, game management, recruiting, etc. then you are pretty naive.
Raising questions does not equate to disloyalty.
Turning a blind eye and ignoring needed changes, whether it be in sports, politics or anything else
is stupid.
Have a Great day.

Bad recruiting

If you viewed the LSU-Florida game objectively, you have to admit that the Gators were FASTER than the Tigers in all aspects of the game.
Folks, despite all the claims of LSU's superior speed, it is not there. The linemen, offense and defense, are too big and do not have quickness nor speed.
The linebackers are not quick or fast. The defensive backs are bigger than most teams' but again are not fast enough to cover fast receivers.
The safeties? They have been a liability all year. They, too, are a step too slow. And can you imagine why, on Florida's 3rd play of the game, the coaches had Danny McCray trying to cover Percy Harvin downfield?
LSU needs to recruit smaller, quicker linemen and linebackers, faster running backs and smaller, faster defensive backs.
Did you take note of The Gators small,
very fast Freshmen running backs? Or their small but very fast, hard hitting Freshmen defensive backs?
I say all this because I think Les Miles has an ingrained Big 10 mentality about football players. The bigger, the better, so lets play smash mouth football. Folks, that won't fly in todays SEC.
Auburn and Florida are 2 good examples of success using smaller, quicker players. Florida's 250 lb right defensive end ran circles around Ciron Black and if you did not see this you didn"t watch the same game I did.
I decided to make this post because I became concerned about LSU's recruiting after watching Winnfield Play Mansfield
friday night.
An LSU commitment, Mansfield's all-everything defensive tackle Chris Davenport was TERRIBLE in this game. He showed no aggressiveness, took plays off, and instead of dominating a Winnfield offensive lne of 4 juniors and 1 freshmen (the center), Davenport was a NON-FACTOR. When he did get in on a tackle he would beat his chest and strut like King Kong. Is this what LSU's recruiting has become?
Like it or not, a fair assessment of Les miles recruiting does not paint a rosy picture. The proof is the lack of talent on this year's team and, regardless of Rivals ratings, the lack of big-time commitments, with a few exceptions, of the 2009 signing class.
I know, I know, the coaches know more about these players than I do. Yeah, right. YOU have eyes! What do yo see?
Yes, Chicken Little, the sky is falling.
Flame away!
