i dont care about him smoking pot. i care about him getting kicked off the team because he cant follow rules. he is just like perrilloux. dont know about you, but i have stupid rules to follow, too.
Montgomery's statement should not be surprising to any LSU fans. I think we are one of the worst about playing to the level of our competition. It is, however, very disappointing to watch. I hope this sort of mentality is addressed during the offseason. The 2011 team seems to be the only exception to this pattern, those dudes brought it week in and week out.
I think that leadership has a lot to do with that, as well. It's one thing for your coach to tell you to be "up" vs Jackoff St, but it's another to see key upperclassmen actually bringing the pain against said opponent.
Very good point. Unfortunately, nobody really emerged as a team leader this year; and with the mass exodus for the NFL I wonder if we will face the same issue in the coming season.....
Copeland & Mettenberger really need to step-up and assume those roles. JC should channel that emotion that he's notorious for towards his teammates.
The 2011 team had no choice but to bring it week in and week out. With OOC games like Oregon and WVU, along with the usual suspects from the SEC, we couldn't take a week off. Our weak schedule may actually hurt our team in '12. Luckily, the '13 schedule is much more exciting.
