    I am quite unhappy with the mentality of some fans who cannot look objectively at the situation from a good perspective.

    We have things to work on, but we have MANY things we can look forward to as well...

    I will say that we have work to do on our offensive line and it's play, from a consistency standpoint...

    I will also say that we need to call more plays that stretch the field...

    I will also say that Matt Mauck must come to play and do a better job of making decisions on Friday...

    I will also say I'm happy with all that LSU has done this season...

    I thought that we would have to split the UGA/AU games to have a chance for the SEC Western Division.

    Now, we are one victory over Arkansas away from the SEC Title game. None of us thought we would be in the rare air of the polls this year...NONE OF US!

    Now we are here, and we need to enjoy the feeling, and enjoy the view, but keep on climbing as best we can...

    To all Tiger fans, enjoy this feeling, and enjoy this big win...

    To all Tiger fans who are being "allegedly" objectively pessimistic about the outcome of the game and the poor level of play, I say...

    Well, I forgot this earlier, but I was taught once that if I have nothing nice to say, I shouldn't say anything at all....

    No apology necessary. We are fans. It is not our job to solve the myriad problems facing a national championship contender. Saban and staff make mega bucks to deal with that. We are along for the ride. Enjoy it.

    Beating a rival that's won six straight, ranked in the top 15, and in their house while playing with the pressure of being ranked #3 will not elicit any complaints from me. Sure we played below average on offense, but we were able to win.

    Absolutely no apology needed. While I am glad we aren't a "sunshine board( a board that thinks everyhting is always rosy red), I am disgusted at some of these remarks.

    I'm not offended. I'm happy that we won. I just think we could have done better. The way we won won't help us overtake USC in the human polls though. We won't drop but we won't move up either. Do we still have a shot at the Sugar Bowl? Yes. Is it likely? Probably not. I'm still enjoying the season and ranking though.

    I'm not either,

    I think we can all be adults and have our debates about any and
    everything.

    I agreed with TigerEducated for probably the first time!!!!!!!!

    about playing the quicker backs against thier defense

    LOL

    I am 100% with you, TigerEducated. What you listed made a lot of good sense. A major factor in any sports is the mental attitude; no negativity and fair-weatherness, please.

    You DO realize that prior to the game, Manning was the second coming of Christ and we would be lucky to contain him, let alone shut him down cold.

    Consider the facts:

    1. On the road

    2. Playing a top #15 team that has won six straight.

    3. Playing a rival.

    4. Playing as the favorite and #3 team in the nation.

    5. Throwing three interceptions deep in your territory, one of which was returned for a TD.

    6. Having 10 penalties for 70 yards.

    7. LSU won.

    If you can beat a top 15 team when you give up more turnovers and have more penalties, you know you have a great team.
