I'm Too Old For "Hi Tech", Brad!

Looks Like LSU Is In The Driver's Seat Pre- Season. Is Your New Quarterback As Good As They Say?

OLS · 07-17-2012, 08:09 AM

You need to learn to delete quoted portions, Greg, lol...Do you mean did I think they could go all the way last year?
Of course I did. And they WOULD have, too, if somehow Bama had not been allowed to lose their division,
conference and head to head matchup and still end up in the CG....But I just say that for stats. You know how
I feel about them being in that game. I didn't like it, but I knew it was the only fair matchup. Then of course
it was made clear that they were the better team on that night. So yeah, I did say that last year. It's like Mike
says, its all part of being a fan and having expectations. Or I think he said Faith and Bravado...

OLS · 07-19-2012, 07:31 PM

He must be good enough to drive that other prospect to Notre Dame....wasn't it Notre Dame?? Gunner Kiel??
I know that few people follow the ins and outs of LSU football. I think we have two hot shots instead of one
idiot and one imperfect winner.

The team I am worried about is FLA after SEC Media Days. How did Muschamp's comment about hoping
to have a QB by the opener go over in FL? Scared me and I am not a fan, lol. One thing I DO KNOW Greg is that
the LSU coaches have proven several times they can take great talent and lose with it, so we'll see. But as you
know, I am boycotting the NFL, so LSU IS my football in 2012, so its on, babay. But any QB is better than what we
strapped ourselves to last year.

OLS · 07-19-2012, 07:54 PM

Add to that all the boy has to do is be competent, capable of throwing a decent forward pass, and check out
of trouble and I think it's at LEAST a step UP. With the talent LSU has this year, that's all we need, right?

I Think The Game On 11/03/12 In Baton Rouge Should Be "Very Interesting" To Both Of Us, Brother!

OLS · 08-01-2012, 04:28 PM

Yes Greg, I look forward to saying completely irrational things for 3 months straight,
but mostly I look forward to topping this thread to show off my new avatar.
Only football makes me care enough to have a killer season-avatar...seems like any
other time it's best for the new kids if we keep the same avatar so they'll know who
the hell is who. But during SEC time, it's time to hope and compel and root and boast
and enjoy. And I have Stephen on my ignore list, lol......................hater.

Let's go Gamecocks!!!!

We get to see what Spurrier's got now. He's gonna write his legacy with this squad.

Not so fast my friend.

His legacy is already written. He's a championship coach who changed the SEC and thus college football forever with his offensive style. AKA his legacy is firmly established as the coach who made his alma mater a 5 star program and a national powerhouse. Secondly, as he's said countless times, he'll always be a Florida Gator first.

Remember, I'm graduating from Clemson for my MA within a week and have gotten into countless verbal altercations that nearly ended up in bar-fights defending Spurrier.

I believe you are getting at what his legacy will be at South Carolina

Drugs again, maybe??

OLS · 08-13-2012, 06:36 AM

Somehow I knew that SvilleKid would have an opinion on that story. I am sure there is no doubt it was drugs.
All we are getting now is "inside sources report..." My sister and I gave him a pass last year, kids are kids,
especially high profile ones. No matter how hard anyone wants to make the boy into a man to help their own
theories along, he is just a kid, and kids are prone to and bound to make mistakes. But this was without a doubt
the most bonehead move any kid could make at this point. I have pulled my support for him. These are likely
just the two instances we KNOW about. I am sure that there was no end of trouble with him for two years.
The fact that he's only considering Div 2A and community colleges means there is no way he is going to play
major college football again. He had a SMALL chance at making good money in the NFL at one time. Hell he was
close to being the Heisman Trophy winner. But now he has likely removed any chance that a kid that small can
make it in the league....baggage, and limited, though arguably very specialized skills. Too bad for him. he might
still find a spot on some team somewhere in a limited role at low pay. Sad.

LSU won't have any trouble replacing him, though.

SvilleKid · 08-13-2012, 03:25 PM

When I look at my local news and at fox news for NCAA football on my I phone, I see a lot of reports on players/recruits on a multitude of teams getting kicked off, held out of practice for cause, and/or is being investigated by the NCAA. I figure ALL the schools are going to be super vigilant in the wake of the Penn State situation.

I can't blame Miles AT ALL for releasing the player (last I saw was Mile's statement that several failed drug tests were involved). At some point, he has to chose between the team and the individual player. I know any coach would hope his program will turn around bad behavior and help kids that may not have a good role model or motivation from other sources. But at some point, it becomes counter productive, especially if the player refuses to stop the behavior that is at the root of the issue.

On the bright side, only 19 more days to the Bama opener! RTR! And the Bama Auburn game has moved back to a Saturday game this year! Going to be a tough season against the SEC on the road.

OLS · 08-14-2012, 02:36 PM

Alabama is fielding a team this year? Awesome.

As a drug user, I don't think it is so bad that a kid likes to smoke a little weed.
But I find it perplexing and moronic that someone in a situation like that kid was
in would not put off the gratification for a few years to secure a future for himself
and that of his family. His success is NOT assured by any means, he is too small
and non-prototypical. But he had a good SHOT. I am thinking this is another kid
who fails to realize that there is no money/living in being a ex-college football star.
Absolutely none. No matter how quick, clever, tenacious or flamboyant you were.

Waiting on the AP to release their preseason rankings to start the new thread

Seems to be later this year than normal

I thought I saw that somewhere already, with LSU ranked No. 1, Bama ranked No. 4. Seemed like there were 6 or 7 SEC teams in the top 20. Hell, maybe I just imagined it. Or it was some media outlet poll, not the AP.

Could just be oldtimerz disease acting up again!

That was the USA Today's Coachs' Poll. The AP poll is set to come out tmrw

OLS · 08-21-2012, 11:34 AM

LSU seems to have dropped 3 spots without playing a game, haha.

Should be a fine season without that kid with the weed. Now if he wants to come over and watch the game,
I could craft a bong of sorts.
