Won't RS be playing in that Under Armor High School superstar game on Monday? That would be worth watching, I'm thinking.

Or at least TIVO'ing for later viewing. :cool:

Let's see, Matt Mauck/Matt Flynn, either from Louisiana? Either big-time athletic QB's? Either one win BCS championships?

I don't know, but I'm thinking every player we grab from UT, OU, FLA, GA, AL or even ARK is a huge victory for LSU.

10-4 Those crawling up USC butt comments were ALL about the money.

Haven't you ever noticed over the season how the games ESPN is covering (South Montana vs Delaware State: Game of the Century!!!) are always the best games, played by the best teams, who obviously got the shaft at some point?

It's a bizness, never forget, and ESPN won't be happy until they pry the SEC from CBS and even Notre Dame from NBC.

But I do enjoy watching/listening to Herbstreet screw up. He changes his mind more than Bill Clinton!

Didn't some really smart guy (certainly smarter than me) define insanity as doing the same thing over and over again the same way, but expecting a different outcome each time?

GO JJLee! :dude:

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING would make me happier than for Lee to find himself and start making the connection between smart decisions and success on the field.

But until that happens, he's throwing an average of almost two interceptions per game, with about a 50/50 chance that every pic he throws will end up being a TD either right away or within four downs.

AND from a Gary Crowton offense where he's averaging around 28 throws a game (I'm giving him credit for 8 full games to allow for the time Hatch played) he's only averaging about 180 yards of passing offense.

That's just no bueno. So, let's all hope really hard that he gets it together before it's too late for him. :dude:

Got the gore down enough to watch the game a couple of times last night (HD TIVO is very cool) and in retrospect a couple of things jumped out at me:

1. First time in a while I saw the DT's hold their ground. Plus Riley and the other LB's really stayed home when there was a lot of temptation to bite.

2. Patrick Peterson is the best 18 year old football player I've ever seen. His technique on Jones was very strong when he was covering him and when not, he was in the right place basically all the time. All American material, IMHO.

3. LSU's offensive line run blocks like nobody's business in that game. I'm seeing Bama DT's four, five, six yards off the ball or just getting snowed under.

4. I saw maybe four pass plays where I'm pretty sure the receiver was either running the wrong route, or last track of his depth. That plus a couple of drops I can blame on somebody other than JJLee.

5. Lee really did make some horrible mistakes, and despite one really sweet pass to Byrd (1st TD) I could not call that a multi-faceted loss. Sorry. on the 21 passes he threw that were incomplete (13-34-4), I give the O line credit for 1 (blocked pocket backwards), the receivers credit for 4 (none of the pics), coaches for 2 (I'm assuming they called the plays I saw against the WORST defensive alignment possible for that pass) and that leaves 14 really bad, out of his mind, poor execution plays out of 34 times when he threw the ball (hope my math holds up).

A lot can happen in 14 plays, good and bad. This time it was pretty bad.

Hrmmph!

Rome the Rocket Scientist strikes again!

:yack:

For all of you who continue to make excuses for my buddy JJLee, whom I'm sure is a great kid with excellent potential, I can't unburn this out of my head:

13-34-4

And so I'm with Schlabach.

Man! And I felt bad for throwing shoes at my TV!!!

Good thing I throw like JJLee! :booboo:

"Well, son, would you like that shot in the arse, or in the arm?"

"Couldn't I have another choice? Maybe a pill?"
