Yes to both.

I feel like was stated above, the KIDS want to go and play every game with
their hearts and for pride. I just think the long layoffs, the constant questions
about what COULD HAVE BEEN, and the lack of prestige that might be felt over
the bowl they land in DO have a great part to play in the end performance.

But as mad as it will make Michael, I felt UF was a paper tiger this season.
The season started out right where I though they were, BAD, and then somehow
they rose from the ashes, but I always felt it was an illusion. Plus some chump
opponents to pad the record, just like UA and LSU had, I just never felt UF
was any GOOD.

As for LSU, the proof is in the pudding. You go play UA in the BCSNCG ('11) and lay
THAT BIG an EGG? You can beat anyone in town except one that does not
allow you to do what you DO...namely take advantage defensively of stupid errors.
If the opposing team doesn't MAKE stupid errors, LSU has had 5-6 YEARS of not
being able to beat teams who don't beat themselves. SUPERIOR athletes, sure...
make no mistake. But horrific coaching decisions, and endless second-guessing,
over-thinking, and stupid gimmicks have taken Les Miles and the whole team with
him, down to the abyss....albeit the abyss of champions, lol. I mean, they
can still kick your a55.
