No, we call out homers who clearly are running their mouths about wide-sweeping advantages with little to no knowledge about the opponent. Where exactly have you given OSU respect?So what string RB would Wells be at your vaunted school?

1st back behind Hester or second behind Williams. Hester just has a superior work ethic according to everyone which is why he continues to hold the starting job without as much talent as Williams and Scott. The question of why Williams is not the starter has been a debate all year long at LSU. Baically, Hester's work ethic and prepration for the game is better than all the other two.

I will say it now, Well could not start in front of Hester, Williams, and Scott. LSU has better and more running backs than Wells.

Congrats on your second nomination for dumbest post of the year. LSU has a very good group of RB's, but saying that Beanie would not start over them is blind homerism at its finest. You are ridiculous.

LOL good point. Just seems there is not much respect for LSU...

Wrong again. We have plenty of respect for LSU, but we don't like opposing fans that come on here and spout off about how their team is vastly superior when they obviously have zero knowledge about tOSU. You are easily one of the two or three worst posters (who attempt to be serious) I've ever seen on this site. Ask anybody that's been around for the Texas series about xrayrandy because you're basically him without all of the fuzzy math.

Seriously, OSU fans have some type of repect complex. Saying Wells cannot start at LSU is not becuse he is bad. Hell, Williams is a better back than Hester and he can not win the starting job.

Wrong again. You're the one whining about our lack of respect towards LSU. I've asked before. Please stop posting. Go on over to Bucknuts. You'll have more fun there.


Could one of the decent LSU posters reign this child in? He's giving the rest of ya a bad name.

They got it from their coach.

BATON ROUGE -- Ohio State coach Jim Tressel leads LSU coach Les Miles 1-0 in meetings as head coaches.
The Buckeyes defeated Miles' Oklahoma State team 33-7 in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 29, 2004.




"Two different teams, both his and mine," Miles said. "Certainly, they were prepared. We were outmanned. So not much more I could take from that one."

Because Les Miles can't accept that his team (OSU)and the Ohio State team were both 7-4, Ohio State didn't have their starting QB, and their backup (Zwick) went out, so they were running plays with true freshman Ted Ginn at QB.

I could see why he would consider his team OUTMANNED. What's going to be the excuse this year?

Not exactly true as Zwick played almost the whole game with a hip injury that prevented him from planting to throw or run well. Ginn did take some snaps but only to relieve Zwick and on the one TD run.

Linebackers are a push. AH and DB are as good as any LBs in college football.

LOL I won't even address the first one.

AH and DB may be as good as any LB in college football, but we have THE best linebacker in college football in James Laurinaitis. Marcus Freeman and Larry Grant are also as good as any LB in the entire country, and using your logic from LSU's RB position we have you beat terribly badly in terms of quality depth.

Your OLINE is a bit better than our because we lost Arnold for the year and have to move people around.

Linebackers are a push. AH and DB are as good as any LBs in college football. Everyone on this board is talking about Wells running over our LBs and secondary, wait tell your vaunted defense meets the bayou badass...

Secondary has 3 seniors one who is an first team all-american, please give me a break.

Good god man!!

Beanie Wells was the top rated running back and the Parade Player of the year coming out of high school.

He's proving on the field that he is worthy of that recogition and is already one of the top running backs in the nation and probably a preseason Heisman favorite next year and you rank him fucking third if he played for LSU?

You are out of your freaking mind and need to go back to tigerrant or whatever where ridiculous opinions are espoused as facts.

Merry Christmas!!

There's not a knowledgeable Buckeye poster on this board who doesn't respect what LSU has accomplished or welcome you here.

Oh, mine is bigger. :biggrin:

LOL, all kidding aside, I look at both teams and their personnel and I can not find a clear advantage for either on both sides of the ball. These teams are evenly matched at every position.

I just see different teams than most people. I think LSU is not as good as the paper says we should be, and I think OSU is slightly better than their SOS would indicate.

Wow, I've purposely avoided this thread because of bullshit comments like this. Now, I can see LSU fans thinking Hester rates up there with Beanie, but saying Beanie would be behind your second back Williams? Beanie has 1463 yards at nearly 5.8 yards a pop. What does Hester have? I'll tell you what he has: 450 less rushing yards, 45 yards less per game, and almost 1 yard per carry less average. And just who is Williams?

As just how do you know "Hester's work ethic and prepration for the game is better than all the other two?" Did Hester run on a bad ankle all year? Did he carry his team with 39 carries against a team that was gunning for him? I didn't think so.

LSU obviously has some great players and at some positions are superior (Dorsey being the best example), but to think that LSU has two backs superior to Beanie Wells is flat out moronic...
