2006 LSU-45 UL-3

[Clutch0364]

That's a big if! As Les Miles said, we chose our "poison".

I didn't see any improvement in this team and the person responsible is Bustle. He said "our players will be shocked" when they watch the tape and see the mistakes they made.

Well it's his responsibility to make sure his team is ready and doesn't make those mistakes. Same old same old. We will be 0-3 and then win a few games against teams in the worst conference in division one.

I've been on the UL bandwagon since I was 6 years old(53 years ago). Some things just never change.

You must not pay much attention to football if you think this team isn't improved. Go watch the film of Texas game last year and how uneffective anything we did was. This team is much improved. And if you think we start off 0-3 your really not looking at our schedule. We play NC A&T the 3rd week.

A few thoughts on the game:

UL offensive line held up real well I thought. LSU had only 2 sacks and many times Babb had time to throw. The LSU defensive backfield may be the best in the country.

Fenroy looked real strong - he is going to have a good year.

UL defense across the board was not very good. Yeah, we stopped the run, but we had like 8 guys in the box. We put no pressure on the QB and the DB's got dropped.

I also agree that there is no way Bustle held back, but contrary to his claim, he did not play to win. He played to run the clock, minimize turnovers and and minimize injuries. The opening drive was two runs up the middle then throw on 3rd and long. The play calling was conservative to say the least. We took no chances with long passes, trick plays, agressive punt blocking ... none.

For real, I see us layin' some wood against the aggies this weekend. Looking at their stats, they weren't at all impressive. I also read on texags that McGee's arm is hurt, and that's why they didn't throw deep and why he came out in the last series.

We'll be able to torch their defense for about 300 yards, minimum. They suck.

63-14.

Time of Possession
UL - 31:31
LSU - 28:29

I think this is something positive to take out of the game. In another bit of good news, A&M beats Citadel 35-3. Decent, but not mind blowing. A&M is running a 4-2-5, and said the LB's cant cover enough ground...Thats VERY good news for us.

One of many reasons that the Cajuns will slaughter some aggies this weekend. TOP is the most important stat against a team like A&M, who thrive on the quick-strike offense.

Friends were great, LSU fans were terrible, simply stated.

I had enough to never need to go back

So what exactly went wrong? Port-a-Potty tipped over, van burned, grandmother pushed down?

[3rdRowTailgater]

Thousands of shirts proclaiming "USL..ULL..UL.. U SUCK" and "OOOHH La La.. Maybe this year" ridiculing the fact that we had not scoired against A&M in the past.... Now these were not random fans filled with alcohol.. these were pre-printed shirts... They type you see when a really big game is coming up.. I'd venture to say they wont have similar shirts when Freshno comes to town

Many of the shops around campus print shirts like these for EVERY game. You will see these shirts for Arizona this week and Fresno later this year and we have no history or dislike for either of those two teams. Its just a way for these places to make money.

So that experience is behind us.. on to the Texas campus of A&M... I am not sure a victory is out of the question.. I think the Louisiana A&M team is that good.... our defense played well against the run... Texas' A&M team will not run out the WR talent nor the QB talent that Louisiana's A&M team did so I expect a closer score... See you in College station where we can experience what a college football environment should be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yeah! those aggies don't know what will hit them! we'll have 300 yards passing, at least!

I seriously doubt that is true but I will concede I dont go to that place anymore than I have to and you do... Those folks must make a TON of money if they sell that many for EVERY game.. Most people I knowa have our "uniform" for each game, i.e. our favorite shirt and hat and some of us shorts or pants. .. and don't buy shirts week to week... Yet as i said I saw thousands of the dirogatory shirts I mentioned.. I guess the students and others wearing them are just so much more prosperous than I..............

i had fun. but this week at the aggies stadium we will have more with a W!

No offense but why take so much offense to the shirt? I found it funny!!! Some UL fans had on there LSWHO? shirts. It's alll in good fun and I didn't see anything wrong with it.

Like I said no offense to you Ijust would like to know.

[IHateLaState]

One other thing i thought I knew but now am sure of.... There is NO excusefor UL and LSU (ULL/LSU A&M if you prefer) to not play more frequently... The crowd was the 2nd largest non-SEC crowd in their history.... Skip (proof there is at least SOME class at A&M) Bertman commented on Sunday.. "We sold out when another non-confernce foe would have drew 80,000... ULL (secretly wanting to call us UL but knowing he would be tarred, feathered and flocked if he did) got a big payday... no one got hurt... a perfect night"... Indeed....

Do realize I am not campaigning to play regularly.... I can deal with a road trip back to Tennessee or Texas and not have to endure the "atmosphere" of A&MBR... but I am sure now that the "It does not pay us to play you.. We have nothing to gain" dribble has been dismissed

I am sure YOU did find it funny.... which is why those who curse and yell at other fans maintain it is a "Top 5" pre-game atmosphere.... But sorry.. someone tells me I suck.... mmm I dont know..... sort of bothers me... just a bit you know....lol...

YOU SUCK... LSWHO..... I see a tad bit of difference...
