This is exactly the sentiment I expect from a fanbase so proud of playing hard nosed, tug-o-war, 3 and out, 1982 football in a 3 point loss to Alabama every year. be you.




heres the major difference between you and real football fans.

you love a game that the score is 60 to 65. this is your version of great football. its totally lost on you that HALF of each squad is actually doing anything, offense offense offense only, zero defense. 85 guys on scholarship, only half required to play, sad sad sad.

we, the lovers of REAL football, demand our TEAMS have both offense and DEFENSE! its totally unfair to everybody involved if only half the team has any expectations placed on them. you see TEAM means everybody plays hard and is expected to accomplish the objective, win.

seriously, if the only drama in the game is who gets the ball last, thats sad. video game football is not real football.

You demand people huddle up so you can rest your fat people, run into the pile on 1st and 2nd down between the hashmarks like they're supposed to (god forbid you have to defend entire field), and only pass on third down when it's obvious they need to throw the ball. In other words, you demand people play to YOUR strengths "or it's not real football". LOL

Let's not act like Bama and LSU have defined offensive excellence during Miles and Saban's respective tenures. LSU especially has had some teams whose offense was every bit as bad as scrub Big XII defenses.

Teams with great offenses and defenses typically win national titles because it just isnt that common. Bama and LSU usually win with great defense and decent to sometimes poor offense.
