I think it's so cute when LSU fans claim we only beat Bama because they played them the week before.

I know it's hard for A&M fans to understand this, seeing that they have had one great season in the last 15 years, but LSU was National Title or bust last year. The players didn't care a single bit about Auburn, Ole Miss, or South Carolina. I think they didn't truly believe that Florida posed a real threat, and it bit them in the arse. Some of the players even admitted as much after the season.

Anybody that thinks the LSU players were 100% committed to playing in the Chik-Fil-A Bowl is crazy.


I don't think this is true and even if it was I don't think it is something that you should be admitting to. If your statement is true, then you are basically admitting that your coaches and team lack quite a nit of discipline and have an inability to play every game with 100% effort.

If you are right and that is the team mentality, you have bigger issues that just reloading lost talent on the field. If I were you I would be concerned.

I've watched the game twice, and I'm really impartial between both teams.

It was more of a slugfest than anything, but if any team was "manhandling" is was bama.

You and I have a very different definition that word.

Total Yards
LSU 435
Bama 331

Passing
LSU 296
Bama 165

Rushing-pretty even
Bama 166
LSU 139

3rd down eff.
LSU 10-20
Bama 1-9

Turnovers
Bama 2
LSU 0

Those are just a few of the stats that stick out. Good job in basing your memory off of the perception of Bama without remembering anything about that game though.

TOP
LSU 39 min.
Bama 21 min.

Because it's true. Tell me how focused your guys are going to e the week after you play Alabama. This is the game your team has been pointing to all season. I don't know who you play, but you're lucky to not have an up and coming nobody school with a hot quarterback out looking to make a name for itself.

So your argument is that one of the two best teams in CFB finished 10-3 because your coaches and players couldnt focus and get their shite together?

Aight

No, you're really not. Your opinion is unworthy of being shared, or listened to.

After reading several of your posts, I am deeply concerned for your metal well being should A&M beat LSU this year. You might want to have a therapist on speed dial.

What he said was true of last year's team but fortunately that hasn't been the attitude of LSU teams in general under Miles although as I already said last season was not his best.

As y'all are so fond of pointing out those all those guys are gone so it's not a huge concern going forward.

It was concerning, for the 2012 team. That team lacked focus and discipline.

2013 is a new season.

You're big on stats right? Well, here you go:

(LSU was a 15yd penalty or a single 1st down away from a win that night. Just couldn't close it out)


Team Stat Comparison
ALA/ LSU
1st Downs 18/ 22
Total Yards 331/ 435
Passing 165 296/
Rushing 166 139/
Penalties 1-15/ 7-51
3rd Down Conversions 1-9/ 10-20
4th Down Conversions 0-0/ 0-2
Turnovers 2/ 0
Possession 20:45/ 39:15

even though i agree with this wholeheartedly, i kinda feel sorry for those ag's that do this. i guess the years of frustration on and off the field for them left some scars. they have had some very good teams in the past and invariable they always ended in NCAA probation. i think those days are over though because i don't think they are second fiddle to tejas any more, even in the long run. the sec, jff and sumlin have turned this thing around for them and they should challenge for the top 6 in the sec most years.

Points for and Points against make for a lousy argument. Of course teams with better offenses will have a higher point disparity then those with good defenses. "Better team" is kind of an arbitrary term too. LSU matched up with A&M well because of our speed on defense, while teams like Auburn did not. LSU would have never beaten OU as badly as A&M and A&M probably would have beaten Clemson, but I thikn alot of that has to do with the fact that they match up better.

A&M is about as relevant as Cincinnati when it comes to football. You will always be the little brother to your in state rival Texas.
