My Bad... It was pointed out that the thread was started by an AGGIE. After the game I was so excited that I was hoping to find smack talk by the dookies, but I guess I found none. Let me know if you guys find any other dookie threads... I am interested to see what their thoughts are regarding the upcoming game.
All week long the dookies have been saying the team they were most scared to play was LSU. Now, after today, they are saying they are glad they are not playing TAMU. If we played that bad, and still won, that has to be impressive. dook fans are dilusional underachievers that can geaux to hell.
bluedevils0621 Second String Ok, So We Got LSU Posted: 3/18/06 8:22:02 pm Anyone nervous or scared? Me? Not really, if they play like they did against A&M they should be no problem. Your thoughts? Posts: 452 CousinUSC Blue Devil Starter Re: Ok, So We Got LSU Posted: 3/18/06 8:23:48 pm I think it all depends on if we can get through the first half of the game without getting into foul trouble Posts: 569 lexing Freshman Re: Ok, So We Got LSU Posted: 3/18/06 8:24:45 pm Agreed on the foul trouble part. Otherwise, I think that we have a very good shot against them. Posts: 165 bluedevils0621 Second String Re: Ok, So We Got LSU Posted: 3/18/06 8:25:03 pm Especially Shelden, if he gets into foul trouble early against Davis (God forbid), it could be a long night. Posts: 454 Jeff41 RS Freshman Re: Ok, So We Got LSU Posted: 3/18/06 8:26:29 pm I tend to think we've got players that are just a tad bit better than Texas A&M. Remember that was a team that struggled for a lot of the season in a mediocre big xii conference. At every single position we're better than A&M is and although LSU will be slightly bigger than we are, I don't think it will effect us that much. They are not nearly as quick as GW and if they try to extend and pressure the ball we'll have no problem breaking pressure. By the time the end of the game comes I believe that Fat Baby will have some difficulty keeping up with Shelden or Josh running up and down the floor. A&M did not have much difficulty penetrating on this team and Paulus and Dockery could pose major problems for them. I'm guessing that they might match Mitchell up on J.J. A true freshman against the best player in the country? Advantage J.J. I think we'll have an easier time with them than we did with GW (barring foul trouble). Especially when the boys catch wind of everyone and their mother picking LSU to beat us. BRING ON THE KITTIES.

Davis can't play the minutes that Shelden can which will give us an inside advantage. It won't be an easy game by any means but i think we'll advance. Josh needs to show up and play the same type of game he played today.

They still have an explosive frontcourt that could put us in foul trouble. I like our chances. Their PG is the key. If we can bottle him up, their offense will go through long cold spells like today against A&M.

Shelden should have a lot of blocks. Mitchell is a pretty decent scorer - Brady isn't the most disciplined coach, but LSU has not lost to a team other than Florida since Feb. 4 when Alabama beat them by 5. We should push the ball up the floor HARD Posts: 677 DarkerShadeOfBlue All-Conference Re: Ok, So We Got LSU Posted: 3/18/06 8:32:55 pm The better the team or the bigger the name the better this team seems to play this year.I personally cannot judge how much of a problem big baby will give Shel. Shel IMO seems to have more problems with long player than the wide ones. In addition McRoberts is getting it big time. He and Shel seem to be working better as a tandum every game. To be pefectly honest I have to clue how good LSU is because I have no basis of comparison. Playing so well today will help greatly for next week. Last year we struggled in the first two rounds and it carried over. We may have gainded a lot of momentum today. Survive and advance is great , advancin a playing well is better. Taking a few days of worrying off to savour what may have been one of our most complete games this year.

Posts: 621 AJonesATL Freshman Re: Ok, So We Got LSU Posted: 3/18/06 8:46:45 pm After hearing so much raving about LSU and watching this game I must say they are not as good as I thought. Make no mistake about it they can beat us but if we play like we did today we should beat them. On a side note after this does anyone notice that there is a great chance of us having to go through each of the highest possible seeds we could have played? GW, LSU, and possibly Texas. We have not caught that one break that many others have. Maybe N.C. State can have something to say about that tomorrow... Posts: 152 DukeFan1954 All-American Re: Ok, So We Got LSU Posted: 3/18/06 8:48:08 pm I have a feeling Texas will get knocked out before the Elite 8, either by NC State tomorrow or West Virginia. Posts: 1241 TeamMackaphy Premium Member Re: Ok, So We Got LSU Posted: 3/18/06 8:51:56 pm I always have pregame jitters and this team seems to give me ulcers... so yeah, I'm nervous.

Hell I am nervous with 15 point lead with 6 minutes to play. Ofcourse now I have to be nervous because it is expected of me and part of the ritual in our family, me on the verge of a nervous breakdown during every game, Posts: 776 DUDevil2k The Devil Inside http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:HcHpCVK-00B2NM:www.butik.pl/im/mediumthumbnail/5/9/59d98.jpg Re: Ok, So We Got LSU Posted: 3/18/06 9:16:01 pm That FAT dude cannot run the court. He seriously is out of shape Posts: 12565 jml2621 Blue Devil Starter Re: Ok, So We Got LSU Posted: 3/18/06 9:20:51 pm Texas has been really inconsistent of late. I'm not sure WVa can beat them, but State can. Many thought GW would be our toughest test to the FF - and I'll stick to that. We just have to continue the aggressive play we showed today.

Bad news for them.
At least if we lose we get to expand our horizons by infiltrating our souls with Jazzy Jeff Redick's beautiful poetry.
I find it funny they talk of Davis' stamina. That dude has put up many a minutes every game. He does get winded but so does who ever is guarding him...even moreso. Hell the dude used to be a tailback...I think this is a good win for us.:hihi:
I was just fixing to tell them the same thing. Just an aggie stirring the pot. I did find it interesting that they are gonna "tear baby a new one", also quoted by an aggie...guess they want someone to do it!
