re: Who do you hate losing to in any sport more?
Posted by carrell on 5/7/25 at 4:26 am
After Alabama, A&M, because of their fans.
Fans who are entitled, walk around with airs, and talk "we beat you" just p*ss me off.
In the SEC, historically Alabama fans are the worst. Most are Billy-Bob jerks. Most of them should drive pick-ups and only pick-ups, because they have a pick-up mentality.
Sometimes Florida fans rise to that level. Err... sink to that level.
A&M fans? Some are polite and good sports, but far too many are holier than thou believers in some God-given superiority over everyone, not just in football, but in general.
After living in Texas for 30 years, I'd much rather talk with a Texas fan/grad than an Aggie fan/grad.
P.S. Aggies, when are y'all gonna win a Natty in the modern era? Never, until you realize that in the SEC you have to play both offense and defense. You still don't know how to play SEC defense.

Nick's cleverly screwing LSU
Posted by carrell on 12/3/16 at 2:37 am
Nick does nothing and says nothing unless it is to make his chances for success better. You have to admire his dedication to "the process."
So Nick doesn't want Kiffin coaching at another SEC school. What's the solution? Proclaim publicly how Lane is ready to be a head coach again. And since the SEC has no openings at this point (Nick didn't say this a week ago, did he?), where will Lane go? Lane's ego, already not small, has got to be puffed up even bigger, so much so that another OC stop won't do.
You have to admire Nick, you really do.

Yes, LSU has "quit" once before...

At the end of the 1969 season, when the Cotton Bowl passed over a 9-1 LSU team that had the best rushing defense in the country, a team undefeated Texas with its run-heavy Wishbone offense did not want to perhaps ruin its national title hopes, the team voted to not accept any lesser bowl bid. For those who were LSU fans back then, the 1970 Cotton Bowl was a major reason for disdain and dislike of both Texas & ND: the belief was that Texas ducked playing LSU, and that the Cotton Bowl (which had a lot of UT grads in its bowl committee) and ND were in cahoots.
Fans might recall this was in an era in which there were very few bowls, and a lesser bowl was very significant at that time.
So yes, there is history for LSU refusing post-season play.
I won't second-guess JJ - he was a good player for Dale and the Tigers many years ago. It's time for him to move on.

I think QB development will be a top priority now.
13-1 is not just getting by. He also beat 2-3 of those BCS game winners. Think he is stubborn. This game may humble his opinion of his own coaching abilities, which could benefit us greatly.
Les will learn? Really? Mr "Run to Establish the Pass" will learn?
I doubt it. You could go all the way back to 2006 when LSU played the Gators in The Swamp. The pass was open all game long, and LSU had a real passer, Jamarcus Russell. Les ran the ball all game long, refusing to adjust his game plan and take what the opponent was giving him. The frustration after losing to Florida in that game was palpable. And it is a recurring theme with Les.
Les won't pass unless the ground game is working, and that makes LSU one-dimensional.
Either Stud agrees with Les or he doesn't have the cojones to tell Les he doing something other than what Les wants.

re: Are all Bama fans arrogant douchebags?
Posted by carrell on 1/4/12 at 4:09 pm
You could ask the same question about any fan-base (for example UT here in Austin...).
The answer is that every fan-base has arrogant douchebags in it.
I do wonder about the percentages though.

Eating Blackbird, Not Crow
Posted by carrell on 1/4/12 at 4:05 pm
OK,OK, last year I gave Les grief over the way LSU played, abysmal clock & game management, pointed out that Crowton was a major issue Les needed to address (berated Les for holding onto Crowton too long). This year I have my doubts about how he has managed the QBs, but then again I don't have all the information.
However this year Les has done great things with an extremely difficult set of team situations plus an awesomely difficult schedule.
So win or lose next week, I will cheerfuly eat some blackbird, but not crow as I think many points about last year were spot on. Also I expressed my doubts about Joe Alleva. Maybe I should have a helping of crow for Joe. I'll think about it.
Geaux Tigers

re: Gary Danielson's 6-team playoff idea
Posted by carrell on 12/4/11 at 12:52 am
I'd go for the big four bowls feeding a "semifinal" set of bowls, the two winners at that level playing in the title game. Each year #1 plays #8, #2 plays #7 and so on.
The only problem with all of these ideas is that they don't suck up to the Rose Bowl, PAC1x, and Big1x, especially Jim Delaney. Delaney will single-handedly veto all of these ideas.

One can only hope. Someone else deserves a shot at LSU. Besides, I am quite sure Cowpokes taste better to Tigers than Red Elephants do.

re: There has to be more to the JL story
Posted by carrell on 12/4/11 at 12:39 am
There is something else going on here, and one of them is a certain blindness by CLM:
* He would put JJ in for a 90% running down, but not JLee for a 90% passing down.
* He would yank JLee for two INTs (against a dominant Alabama), but not JJ for an INT and a safety (against a markedly inferior team - W. Kentucky)
The appearance of the way JLee has been treated is one of utter shabbiness. Even if he is proved academically inelgible , which is only a rumor at this point, JLee, the QB who carried LSU against some mighty opponents for the first seven games of this year, deserved more than taking a knee on one play of the SEC Championship game.
Part of being a team is dancing with them that brung ya. Jlee brung LSU to the dance.

re: Pray for the Cowboys to stay undefeated

I dunno - I think Oregon's get's a lot of positive sentiment since they lost earlier compared to OK or Alabama. And the PAC12 *does* have a championship game now, which the Big12 does not. If Oregon wins out and OSU loses to OK. Oregon will be higher ranked in BCS by virtue of playing in a league championship.
'Bama's chances are comparatively poor because their ability to get to the SEC Title game is slim-to-none.
Consider this nightmare scenario. LSU loses to Arky, Arky loses to GA in the SEC Title game. Does any SEC team go to the BCS Title game?

A frag is a lot less effort Rick. Plus I think killing at a distance is where it is at. One round from an M14 at 400M would suit me just fine.

I really don't want LSU to play a do-over in the BCS Title game.
:yack:
The opponents would be motivated to win a title plus proving the loss was bogus (especially Oregon, whose fans whine pretty much non-stop about their loss). That is stronger motivation and an advantage for them.
Please let OSU win out, so LSU can beat someone else. Please.

re: SI featuring Jamarcus in upcoming article
Posted by carrell on 10/26/11 at 11:49 pm
The entire article is victim-speak. JaMarcus could change his life anytime he wants.
But does he want to?
The facts are that he doesn't. So it is all on him.

Stewart Mandel is Wrong

SI on LSU vs Stanford
Look about halfway down the page.
I disagree with Mandel's answer though. Nobody in Hawaii or its conference was in danger of being shocked, and everyone expects Hawaii fans to dress ”ethnically”. OTOH Stanford fans have never experienced anything like an LSU fan. Never. And no-one in the SEC would believe Stanford would beat LSU. Ever. Not even if DiNardo was coaching.

re: I was wrong about Coach Miles
Posted by carrell on 10/23/11 at 11:38 pm
Last year was no surprise and this year is no surprise.
As long as LSU had Crowton, and Miles was responsible for hanging on to that guy for at least one year too long. Now that Crowton is gone, LSU is playing to its potential. So far.

Ehh? Everybody & their grandmother latches onto this as a display of their leet f'ball skillz. Didn't you pay any attention to Peyton Manning talking about Lee's throw off the back foot (just last week)? I believe Manning said something like 75% of all throw are off the back foot, that QBs practice that, and it is no big deal.
Give it a rest.
