FanNation - The Republic of Sport

Judgement D:

Since this is a Sports Board, It would sure be nice if you could clean up your picture act. That picture goes a little too far in my opinion for a sports board.

I am not a Vol Fan, but I must agree with Kiffin about the one sided officals when any SEC Team plays against Alabama. It is time to eliminate these SEC officals, especially the local Bama or other local officials. We need to go to an NCAA appointed crew that comes from all over the country to officiate SEC games. There are far too many Bama Friendly Calls in SEC games.

Pete Carroll is now feeling the shoe on the other foot. USC gets every conceivable advantage an promotion from the national press to create the image that Pete Carroll is the greatest (next to Nick Saban these days) coach and USC is the greatest college team. Funny, but things have a way of comng back to earth when the Oregons, Stanfords, and Washingtons came calling this year.

Pete is upset wih Jim Harbaugh who has had to build this program from below ground up to where it is now. Pete has competition and I don't think he likes it.

You Bammers are all alike. You pop off your mouths and act like you are something when you are not. Yes, LSU lost to Bama, but you can thank leg cramps to Peterson for not being in the game on Jullio for the TD, and some friendly alabama SEC officals. That interception review was so obvious to TV announcers and everybody that saw the Divit in the ground to prove Peterson was inbounds with the interception. Had the officals not denied LSU the interception LSU could have very well gone in for the winnng TD. LSU played their butts off and came very near to winning, so please don't act so freaking cocky about how great Alabama is. Les Miles has always been respectful and sportsman like to Alabama and Saban, but it is a shame Saban couldn't even have been the same by giving LSU and Les Miles the credit they deserved. His post game interview STUNK. The difference between the two is that Les Miles is a decent man that loves LSU, the players, and the fans, and Saban just loves himself and what ever school he is coaching.

Go Auburn Tigers , Miss State Bulldogs, and Gooooo Florida Gators.

Kiffin uses that brash talk because young recruits like that cocky attitude. I am not a Vols fan, but I must say I think The Vols will returning as a big time program again in the near future. I am surprised at how the Vols are starting to play tough D and good O in their recent games as they really should have beaten Bama and gave them all they could handle and then some.

It will be up to LSU to finish the job Tennesse started against Bama.

Goooooo LSU Tigers

Seastrunk is LSU bound.

Tin Man:

Wow, you are the first guy I have seen that seems to understand the LSU/Florida game. Your unbiased analaysis of LSU's advantages and weaknesses are very sound and accurate. I enjoyed your evaluations on both sides of the ball.

I am of course a big Tiger fan, but I realize it will take an LSU team we have not seen this year to show up. But I also think this LSU team has real Grit and determination to win and they have shown that in almost every game they have played. Like Lou Holtz said after the Georgia Game when he said " Boy Did You see that LSU Team get going when they fell behind "? It was a totally different team. So not every team has that type of determination,will, and heart to win like this LSU team has. For this reason and the fact that LSU is 32-0 in night games in Tiger Stadium, I think the LSU Tigers can pull off this monumental upset of the #1 Team.

jdawg90:

I can see it is hard for you, but you need to let that LSU game go now. The fact that LSU didn't score by running until 3 minutes to go only means that LSU is a winner and they got things going when it counted. Heck, Scott broke two tackles by two of your best defenders and ran 33 yard untouched to the enzone. I think it is Georgia that did not have the will to win the game when it counted.

Don't forget LSU held Georgia to 1 first down and 49 yards in the first half while gaining 249 yeard and 12 first downs. LSU has a very young and inexperience QB that is struggling in some areas and that is holding the Offense down, but when it counted, that offense showed up and wanted that win.

All of this bull about the Ga penalty is only another attempt to degrade LSU and tarnish it's victory. No one mentioned the fact that Trindon Holiday ran the kick off back 40 yards to give LSU that great field position. LSU gave UGA the same opportunity they only returned to the33 yard line and then Cox threw and interception to end the game with almost 40 seconds to go.

We at LSU are accustomed to having to endure negatve media press and hype as LSU barely gets deserved recognition when they are stomping someone. In the mean time, LSU will just keep finding ways to win games and let the nasayers have their say and we will see what happens in the end.

Good luck to ya.

YAPP:

You need to see a pysch doctor about all of that hate problem you have. Les Miles is very well liked by his players, other coaches, and anyone else that knows the man. The last thing he should be called arrogant. He is couteous,loyal, and fair to a fault, but he is not arrogant and unappreciative. If you attack him or his players, yes he will defend them.

Confident and Proud of his Team ??? Yes he is and he supports the team and school which is only what every college coach should do for their team and school. Overrated is still a question that should be answered this year ?? Saracastic or in your face at time, yes is probably is, but it is because someone asked him a leading question and he answers to defend his team or his program.

Les Miles is his own man.

To tell the truth, I didn't even think about Tebow not being in the game. Tebow is always in the games I have seen.

Did anyone ask Stever Spurrier about running up the score on his SEC co-hearts when he was at Florida ?? The ole Ball Coach would throw 50 yard deep sideline pass with 30 seconds to go in a game he was winning by 55-0. So why even bring up this stuff about Meyers keeping Tebow in the game. This is a different day and how bad you beat somebody seems to sway voters and other bloggers that write on this site.

ABFuture:

You are rambling wreck of some time who just speaks without anything of reason coming out.
Excuse me, LSU and Florida have won the last 4 BCS National Championships and they are also the only two teams to win 2 championships and you are saying they don't play anybody.
That kind if ignorant and irresponsible jibberish is coming from the mouth of an envious and jealous man that hates the SEC for it's greatness.

You don't seem to have a team that we can see. If it is Texas I only need to remind you that Texas Tech beat the Horns last year and yet Texas Tech was destroyed by Ole Miss the 4 best team in the SEC in the Cotton Bowl last year. This year ARkansas just destroyed Texas A & M in the Jerry Jones Stadium in Dallas. If any highly ranked team is untested it would most certainly be the Texas Longhorns.

Crimson Gods:

You and the rest of the Bammers think that everybody just fears and trimbles at thought of playing the Alabama Crimson. The reason guys like Meyers are winning Championships is because they take each game as it comes. No smart coach worth his salt would be thinking about some stupid game that may or may not ever be played but it is only in the mind of Dreamers like you.

I have news for you, Bama needs to play LSU and Auburn first of all before they can even have a shot at Florida. Although it would be nice if Bama had to play Florida every year like LSU does and then that might have a big effect on Bama's chances of even getting to the SEC Championship. We LSU fans can hear your disrespect as you just assume Bama will play Florida.

Whatever happens, either LSU or Florida would be a big hill to climb for Nick Saban and the Reds.

I agree, and even though my team LSU is an SEC rival of the Gators and Tim Tebow, we all admire and respect this guy. His character and his Christian convictions are admireable for all Christians. He does a lot of missionary work in foreign lands for his fellow man . Additionally, He is such an amazing athlete and he possesses all of the skills that any football player would love to have.

I am sure he will be back for the LSU Game, but if not then we will be prepared for John Brantley.

The bad thing about a Concussion is that it is not the first one you get but it is the 2nd, 3rd, and maybe 4th and then things go bad quickly. Steve Young had a few and he had to get out of football. Even though concussions happen in sports, they are not to be just taken as if they are nothing. It was the Knee to the back of the head that caused the concussion more than the tackle by Wyndham.

I think this injury will force Tebow to adjust himself and not try running quite so agressively as he has in the past. No QB can sustain that much pounding over time, and the Pros will be that much worse.

Samantha:

Should have and did are two different things. I think MSU actually did beat Bama and Saban two years ago; do you remember that game. Oh yea, that came just before ULM beat Bama.

Actually, the $ 700,000.00 is almost what LSU has to pay them to play anyway. The crowds that Tulane draws for typical home games are actually embarrassing for the school when they play on TV. It's like where is the College Atmosphere ? Answer is: I am afraid there is none.

Even when they show the students, those TU girls are certainly no ravers to look at. The smart guys at Tulane are not so smart after all it seems.

LSU put Tulane out of business so why keep a Bankrupt team on the schedule. Actually, the Brain Thrust at Tulane took them out of Football in the 60s so they could supposedly show the world what a brilliant institution they are. Well, Vandy is ranked higher academically and they were smart enough to see the financial benefits of staying in the SEC and collecting the Bowl money every year. I think Tulane was failing to be able to compete and recruit against LSU in the 60s so they dropped out of the SEC to save face.

The Wave barely beat McNeese Saturday. I think it is time for Tuuulane to start playing the other state schools to see if they can even beat those guys on a regular basis.

Vols Rule:

Now, Who did Tennessee beat this year ?????

Docmadlab:

I don't know where you are from but Tim Tebow is anything but arrogant. He is very confident and he is an intense competitor and a great athlete that wants to win.

I am certainly no Gator Fan, and in fact my team, LSU has an intense rivalry with the Gators, but anybody that know athletics has multitudes of respect for Tim Tebow. He is a professing Christian that goes on Missions to help people in other countries every year, and he always says God Bless. Please don't confuse his confidence with arrogance, because Tim Tebow does not have an arrogant bone in his body. You may not like him because you don' t like the SEC or Florida being known as the toughest conference in America, but that is no reason to take it out on Tim Tebow.

1. I never have said you called it a dirty play, I only said the play was a clean play for clarification on my point. Read my post again and tell me where I said that you called it a dirty play. WRONG.

2. You never did say you called him Classless, but you did call Wyndham, the Kentucky player A LOSER KENTUCKY PLAYER in your Quote #2. So I don't see any difference.

3. You say it makes no difference what team I pull for, but then you said I was probably pulling for a team that was losing by 30 points and I would cheer for a good tackle. Now that I have pointed out to you that LSU is my team then you want to say that my school team does not pertain to the discussion. You seem to want to talk out of both sides of your mouth on this issue.

4. In Quote # 64 by Sabian_024 he said he saw the post game TV interview with Wyndham the Kentucky Player and he was very contrite and concerned for Tebow. Does that sound like the guy you so glibbly referred to as the LOSER KENTUCKY PLAYER. Is Classless worse than Loser ??? I don't think so.

5. You called Wyndham's celebration for 10 seconds as Classless. What is wrong with a player celebrating a great defensive play that he just made against one of the games top players ? I think any player would do the same thing. How many times have we seen a defensive player celebrate when he makes a big hit in college and the pros ? Get real, just because it was Tebow it is no different .

I don't think Wyndham knew that Tebow was seriously injured, as it is very common for a player to be stunned or even knocked unconcious after serious contact like that. If he had really known that Tebow was seriously injured and he then continued to celebrate, I would certainly agree with you that he was classless or even worse. But to put this label on a guy just because he made a great hit on one of your favorite players is not acceptable to me and that is why I said so.

I noticed that you don't have any information about yourself at all on your Profile. I guess by keeping yourself secret then you can call people names and talk tough and be threatening. Why don't you fill out your Profile so we can all know who you are and where you live. In case you don't understand, this site is where people are free to write their opinions and when people don't agree with you then you can address them, but name calling and threats are not acceptable.

In my opinion, we have beaten this subject to death, and I hope you will accept that on this issue no one seems to agree with you position, but you have said your opinion. But, it is now time to move on to the next subject.

Yes, it does happen in Football since it is full contact and many bodies are flying around on every play. However, most of us were still very concerned about Tebow at first since he did not move at all for almost 5 minutes it seemed. I think TGIFTT was just trying to let us know the seriousness or potentially life threatening situation Tebow was facing and we still don't know the full diagnosis of Tebow's injury. I feel sure it is just a concussion since he did not show any reason to suspect spinal injury. When you are knock out like that it is really not just a casual concern since a concussion is possibly a fracture of the skull.

Sure we all accept and know full well that college football is a very violent and physical game and the possiblity for serious injury is always present. This is not the intent of the game, so when it happens to anyone, we all feel concern for any person facing possible paralaysis.
