    We know you aren't mad. You're just in full denial. That's what happens when you sell out hard like you did. You're searching for answers when it's right in front of you

    I didn't sell out. Go read my post histroy. I gave him a chance. Well, they tried and ummm, failed.... Again....

    Its called reality.


    Again, I am not saying we should beat them. I am saying we aren't competitive and that is the 1st issue. Clemson and UGA have competitive game plans vs them and we have just as much talent as them. They are just coached better majority of the time.


    Our talent finds a way to shine, like the UGA game, then the reality of preparedness shines vs a well coached team.

    I know the answer, coaching. That is were it starts and ends.

    Normally, you and I are congruent in our thoughts, but I disagree with you here. You are pointing out one game’s problems by comparing overall recruiting rankings. If that is broken down more, and comparing apples to apples, you need to specifically compare Bama’s line recruiting to LSUs. You’d find significant differences not only in talent level, but also in depth. While Oeaux is trying to address it, one season won’t correct 5 + years of deterioration.

    Now, you are correct, the D seems to be performing better than the O, but Aranda’s been there 3 years, and the cupboard wasn’t as bare in that side of the ball.

    @tirk is spot on about Oeaux’s comments being correct. Again, IMO, too much microscope on one team and one game. I was hopeful but realistic going into this game, but am still proud of our team and season so far.

    Youll come around eventually. We could have better coaching sure. Who couldn't besides Bama. But we play then 10 more times with Spurrier as hc we lose all 10.

    What Tirk is trying to say is we’ve maximized the potential of our talent. Bottom quarter offense is what we should expect.

    SO why was the D competitive? I feel like people are ignoring this word...

    Again I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT WINNING.....

    How can I make this more clear?

    We are competitive on D. Not even close on O.

    Because we have the best cover corner, the best safety and best mlb in college football. All 3 top 10 picks.

    On offense however. How can I say this. We don't have any.

    Yea but we dont have a Dline at that level and still made it work. You know the answer. Well coached on that side.

    I refuse to believe LSU has the 87th best talent on O. I just refuse.
