    I didn't notice any problems with sportsmanship. What's your gripe?

    More an observation.

    You could try, but you couldn't get LSU offensive players to say Alabama's defense was the reason behind its poor showing in a 10-0 loss to the No. 1-ranked Crimson Tide.
    Even coach Ed Orgeron was reluctant to throw bouquets to the other sideline.

    When asked point blank how much credit should go to the nation's No. 3 unit, Orgeron replied, "You know, we just didn't execute."

    Take a look at Coach O's pregame where he had nothing but praise for Coach Saban and Alabama saying that your front seven might be one of the best of all time. We all know how good Alabama is, but our number one concern is taking care of our team and concentrating, one game at a time, on improving. Coach O was and is doing a great job keeping the focus on what will help out Tigers move forward.

    Tusk, you bring a lot of value to TF, but this time, please knock it off as you are out of line.

    I agree when we get 123 yards on offense that we have to look in the mirror. Credit to Bama, but we didn't come close to our potential.

    At this point, I'm sure Orgeron wants to be the anti-Miles in every way, shape and form. Can't say that I blame him. Going to be fascinating stuff to watch in Fayetteville going forward.

    I've said it before & I'll say it again. Bama's front 7 DOMINATED our O line. We could still be playing and I'm not sure we would have scored on 'em.

    Where's your metrics on no calls or the judgment type calls/no calls that always seem to benefit Bama? A holding penalty in the first half of a game that you're up 35-0 isn't the same as a holding call on a play in the 4th Q where the only TD of the game is scored on.

    Really!! Not getting enough praise after the game equals poor sportsmanship?
    WTF Tusk. Sensitive much??
