| FTBL Folks, those of you who watched the Florida/LSU game

[bear facts]

just witnessed a pivotal moment in LSU football history. This will be the point on the timeline that separates the "Saban-affected" LSU program with the Miles-affected LSU program.

You saw the beginning of the slide back into SEC mid-tier mediocrity for LSU. Now Les must coach and win with his own recruits.

The first part of LSU's season has been an aberration with the teams they have played. Georgia is gonna torch the Tiger secondary and also hurt the linebackers with those underneath routes.

I may be generous by saying the Hat has three years, if that long, in Red Stick before the Tiger faithful give him the Gerry "DiNardeaux."

Laissez le bon rouleau de temps

Couldn't have said it better Bear.

His "Damn strong football team" ain't so damn strong.

 

[imported_Porter]

I think the downward slide has begun, but the one thing The Hat has in his corner is he can recruit. Saban cleared away the rubble that DiNardo left and rebuilt that whole program. It is going to take a LOT for Miles to screw it up (from a recruiting standpoint). I think they are headed back for more mediocre results, but I think they will remain competitive for the immediate future unless we start seeing a lot of coaching turnover, which I doubt we'll see there.

Let's hold off on that opinion till 11/08/08. I feel pretty good about our chances for WA!!

Oh, they are about to go through a cycle like Bama did after the Dubose debacle. But coaching instability is something that comes natural down there.

From '86 until Nick Saban's arrival, the Tigers went through a few head coaches. Not only are LSU fans delusional, they are also impatient. Just look back on the infamous Curly Hallman game against Auburn. I know there was other baggage surrounding that firing, but still things like that and DiNardo's meltdown against Bama in '98 (though an even worse '99) helped to seal their coaching fates in Baton Rouge.

I said this when Les(s) Miles got the job. His career at LSU will mirror Mike Archer's. Remember, Archer's Tigers went 10-1-1 during his first year ('87) at LSU. But he had inherited a solid Arnsparger team. Shortly after the Bama game in 1990, Archer was fired.

Saban had left Les a much stronger yet younger team than the squad that Archer was given. It may take Miles a year or two longer to meet a similar fate.

Cholly Mac has been the only one to have any real longevity down there as a head coach, and there were times I actually have thought Coach Bryant may have let CCM win on occasion just to keep the LSU fans appeased. :wink:

The only thing I wonder about is what will happen with a few more losses. When Pelini said he was taking the Nebraska job, their sites were set on hiring the DC from Ga. Tech, Jon Tenuta.

We saw how that ended up with them moving Mallory and Peveto into the Co-DC role.

Just surfing a few forums the one thing I found as a constant was fans talking about the let down on defense. The dreaded "loyalty" phrase was tossed around often.

I'm still not sold on USC, but the game next weekend when LSU visits Columbia is going to be worth keeping an eye on. If Smelley has any success against their secondary they'll be dreading, and should be, Georgia visiting the following weekend.

"Georgia is gonna torched the Tiger secondary and also hurt the linebackers with those underneath routes."

You are looking ahead just as LSU will be in Columbia this weekend. Don't look now but SC has won 4 straight. SC will have won 5 straight after the LSU game.

Georgia didn't torch Tennessee. Stafford will have to do a lot more than what he did yesterday.

well said but Im pretty sure Smelley was benched (again) and the Garcia guy came in and played pretty well

Yep, you're right, I had forgotten about the South Carolina game.

Plus, I guaran-flat-tee that Spurrier hasn't forgotten the little trickery that Les(s) put on the Gamecocks with the fake field goal.

(Pay attention to Miles' reactions after the play).

True, Garcia did come in and have a fairly solid game...but it really didn't translate into points. I want to say they had 3 missed FG's when he was in...he did lead 4-5 drives into UK territory that only led to 10 points.

One thing that continues this week...Monday afternoon/evening sports reports here in South Carolina will be on "who starts for the Gamecocks" Saturday. That's been a recurring theme all season (and now Clemson has joined that game as well.)

...if you consider games against Wofford and UAB football games, yes, 4 straight. :lol:

Don't take much stock in the UT/UGA score.I kinda compare this game to the Bama/Kentucky game. Neither score should have been as close as they were.

UGA did hold the Vols to a yard rushing. Yes, Stafford gave up a couple picks, but I am very confident he will bounce back.

I was very surprised with how much time Tebow had in the pocket last night against LSU. I know UGA offensive line is inexperienced but if they buy Stafford the same kind of time that Tebow had, the LSU's pass defense will be in a world of hurt.

Plus, the Tigers were very weak on the screen pass against Miss St. I see Georgia exploiting that weakness by dumping little passes off to Moreno.

You are a Moron... One Loss and you are throwing us under the bus.. Many people could have said that after we lost to Tennessee at Home when we had 21-point lead at the half back in 05. We turned it around,we didnt fire Les Miles, & our outcome the last 3 years can speak for itself.

Your fans are the most delusional out there.. It is finally halfway through the season and you guys already declared yourself National Champs. You guys were crying after a dismal season and a loss to ULM which you were calling for Nick Saban's Head. Yall have selective memory out in Bama about last year. Shula's Players sure are playing well this year for Saban..

I promise you that November 8th. LSU will play a totally different game against Bama. Since we got brought back to reality, our team is going to focus better and not worry about our ranking and go back to playing solid football. This is going to be the best thing to happen LSU football. We needed a good ass whooping and now we know which areas of our team we need to work on.

Bearfacts you can kiss my ass.. You are the most delusional, ignorant, jealous of LSU, Bama Fan I have ever seen. You need to crawl out your Red Dirt Cave and leave your Auburn Boy Toy alone. Anyone who judges the future of a school's football program on one away game against a top ten team is a complete football retard and truely is a Forest Gump wantabee.


Get ready for a rude awakening from your love affair with Nick Satan, If you look at his record over the years. He has streaks of mediocracy with huge letdowns.

just witnessed a pivotal moment in LSU football history. This will be the point on the timeline that separates the "Saban-affected" LSU program with the Miles-affected LSU program.

You saw the beginning of the slide back into SEC mid-tier mediocrity for LSU. Now Les must coach and win with his own recruits.

The first part of LSU's season has been an aberration with the teams they have played. Georgia is gonna torch the Tiger secondary and also hurt the linebackers with those underneath routes.

I may be generous by saying the Hat has three years, if that long, in Red Stick before the Tiger faithful give him the Gerry "DiNardeaux."

Laissez le bon rouleau de temps

You truly take the cake as the most delusional, ignorant BAMA Fan Ever. LSU Got their ass Whooped, but it sure takes alot more than one game to change the outcome of LSU Football History. We are a national powerhouse along with FLorida and its going to take alot more than that to affect our program. You guys have alot to accomplish and the season is barely halfway. You guys had a complete meltdown last year and who says it wont happen again. I am sorry to inform you, but you are not at our level and you got ways to go til you catch up with LSU and Florida. You need to work first on winning your division and then maybe a SEC Championship. Delusions of Grandeur can make a team fall quick,

You are a Nick Saban ball-riding homo. Les Miles had the majority of his players last year playing. Who developed Nick Saban recruited players into Champions? Les Miles you idiot. I cant believe I need to explain this to you. Yes I do, I forget that Forrest Gump is in your gene pool.

The good thing is that the majority of BAMA Fans have great football knowledge. You are the huge exception of course. No Disrespect, Senile Facts.

LeSU,

Come on, man - with the name-calling. I'd appreciate it if you'd temper your posts with intelligent discourse. Besides, I'm pretty sure it's against the rules of this forum.

I know it's a difficult time for LSU fans after Saturday, but name-calling is so unbecoming. (cringe)

 

[jdpas29]

lsu is going to have to get back to basics if they expect to have a good year. their blocking and tackling saturday night was atrocious. they looked like they didn't really care on top of having bad technique. i don't know how you fix that in mid-season.

Alabama is a beatable team, but there won't be any beatdowns handed to Alabama that compare to the whooping that lsu took saturday night.

it takes a certain type of attitude to allow that kind of beating to happen. Alabama doesn't harbor that attitude. even the vast majority of the losses we've had to endure over the last 6 years have been by a handful of points.

lsu is close to meltdown mode whether you like it or not. they have QB trouble and the linebackers are out of position entirely too much.

they almost lost to Auburn so...
