Yeah, that part puzzled me, too. Why should we have lost to Florida? Because he predicted it? We're a better team than UF, and have been all season. We didn't get lucky in that game, we executed, you f*cking moron.
He havent been lucky to win any of the games this season. Opposing teams have been lucky to even be in the game with us.
Does LSU beat Florida without those two late turnovers? Did the LSU defense really force those turnovers, or were they more mistakes by the Florida offense? I imagine that's what the author was referring to.
The article raises a legitimate concern . . . but does so in an undiplomatic manner. My hope is that LSU approaches a solution to the problem in a very systematic manner. I certainly hope that I don't have to go down to Baton Rouge and start getting physical with the players because of this issue. I'm pretty sure that none of them know swordplay. :hihi:
nothing stays constant throughout a college football season (except for notre dame sucking). Auburn sucked to begin the year only to give us all we wanted and then some. Miss State got rolled then beats AU and Kentucky. the fact we made it through all but one game unscathed in spite of all the mistakes is a good thing. this can be corrected and likely will be. my biggest worry is this non-fumbling thing usually evens out. I sure hope hester doesnt fumble 10 times in the SECCG or the national championship game. either way. good times fellas. dont sweat the small stuff. we are right where we need to be and the sloppiest play is behind us (hopefully).
Stewart Mandel has a slightly different take. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/stewart_mandel/11/06/power.rankings11/index.html
A long time ago I realized that you can't please everyone, so why even worry about what the pundits say? Just keep winning and they can't say a friggen' thing :rolleye33: The penalties and mistakes have been aggravating, but we're 8-1 and facing a breather to get our troops ready for a run. What amazes me is as "informed" as these writers profess to be, they don't take into account the gauntlet LSU has run to get to this point. I heard that if we get to the MNC game, we will have possibly played 9 Top-25 teams. Possibly NINE Top-25 teams Are you friggen kidding me???? No one else will have faced 2 or 3 o:
I tend to think a team that shoots themselves in the foot and can still pull out a win weighs more heavily than those mistakes hurting them in games to come. I think you can learn from mistakes and move on.
