I cannot imagine a fan base bitch more about refs than LSU's.

Funny that only 3 people on this Texas fans thread felt the need to flip it to LSU. And all three are from Alabama! :lol: It's also funny to note that Saban's last 2 years @ LSU the team ranked 5th & 10th in the SEC in the least penalized category.
Both of these were behind Alabama. Oh and did I mention that the two years Saban was in the pros,
Bama finished ahead of LSU.

Apparently moving to Bama made Saban's teams much more disciplined. The 1st 6 yrs. @ Bama his teams were ranked 3rd twice and 1st four times in least penalized. Of course all of these ranked ahead of LSU. :rolleyes: I guess it's only right to believe a totally improbable stat (at least 10 years in a row, even with head coach switching teams) on officiating without the officials having anything to do with this almost impossible outcome! :banghead: :pimp:

This is a retarded complaint.

No, retarded is somebody that responds to information that forms an opinion that can easily be supported by facts (Peterson's return stats and accomplishments as a return man at LSU & as a Pro), by name calling and without an ounce of objective evidence to the contrary.

Since you injected retarded into the conversation and I introduced lack of objectivity/lack of knowledge into the conversation , I've seen something that really makes me re-think my position. After seeing your picture , I can speak with certainty that you,sir, not only
have expertise on retards but with total
confidence that you have "insider knowledge"
on the afore mentioned subject! My sincerest apologies , sir and my deepest sympathy for your photo !

Play to short side of field & saint made no effort to stay in bounds ! Almost designed to stop the clock ! I was suprised he made 7 yds to the 5 !! It saved the falcons time & a time out. Just enough !!!!

Oglethorpe brought debtors from England to settle Ga. The hard-core criminal element of this group went to Alabama. They migrated past Columbus and Auburn on westward to the Tuscaloosa area . Over the years they have managed to stay out of trouble by
paying judges and policemen from a secret payroll that cannot be found :pimp: :rolleyes: :banghead:

LSU La'El Collins Senior (2nd team all SEC)
ULL 2 seniors (2nd team SBC) 2 juniors (nothing)
ULM not sure. Not sure about the entire SBC, but just these 2 schools have more than 1/3 the amt.of the entire SEC? :confused: This has got to be wrong
:banghead: What is the criteria for Lombardi selections & who selects them?? :rolleyes:

Most of Bertman's career was w/the old 6 team regionals befofe the super regionals were introduced. 3 games the 1st day , & I think starting times were about 1, 5 and 9pm @ most sites. Most all host schools that had the lights, started the late slot. Texas was the only host school to take the 5pm slot. Good idea for fans & team. I think LSU played a game @ midnight due to weather/extra innings of earlier game. Not only was the team worn out the next day , we lost our home field advantage because most of our fans left. lol During the 90's other host teams around the country had games delayed til the next day, turning their advantage to a great disadvantage!
I think the NCAA has a rule about starting games before midnight. Most home teams started playing during the day. This carried over when we went to the 4 team regional/super format in , I believe it was 1999!

I repeat: The change was made by Bertman because it was smart, and it made the teams seeded below us deal w/the weather (exacerbated by extra inning games}!!

I feel like this conversation is had EVERY YEAR.

Actually it was held yesterday.

To the OP: Better chance that weather would push the 2nd game to an extremely late start or even the next day. Taking game 1 might not be as good for the fans, but it's a better bet for the team!

No, most schools learned a long time ago that any advantage to playing the nite game ( cooler, fans are off from work. ect) is more than off set by the much greater possibility of the 2nd game being played really late or even delayed til the next day due to bad weather. On the other hand if you play 1st you may get that advantage!

I don't know why LSU fans are so hard up on saying UL is not a top 8 team.

---

Where did I say that they are not a Top 8 ? I only supposed what the selection committee might do under certain circumstances.

UL beat LSU head to head, so I'm not sure why you'd try to lessen their perceived strength.

Mainly because of pitching, baseball is not like a lot of other sports. To determine the best teams you need to play a series. Because of the inclusiveness of college baseball these series need to be only 3 games or in post season play, double
elimination due to time constraints. We are excluding the dumb arse SEC tourney from this format, which is played just for money. Hell, Skip used to throw away some early season games just to get info about his own players. A single 5 inning mid-week game that early in the year means nothing about which team is the best right now!

they have 52 wins. Probably 53 after tomorrow. You just don't do that without being EXTREMELY good.

If you put a high school senior in a 1st grade class and he tests much higher than the kids, what does this prove? NOTHING !! He may be really smart, but we don't know!! We need to see the results of his age-appropriate tests. 53 wins with this schedule tells us nothing other than they are consistent winners against bad teams!

Thanks Bigpapamac ,

If it's no trouble would you mind an update and/or final ?

Greatly appreciated! :bow:
