LSU Tigers (official thread)

[Telekinesis]

Me watching the game last night:

“Throw it away, Joey! DAMMIT, JOEY, THROW IT AWAY!! RUN JOEY!! RUUUUUN!!! Holy shit!”

I think their lack of defense will bite them in the ass at some point in the season but LSU is one fun team to watch.

Not sure why we are talking about Penn State in this thread.

Definitely the same kind that would insist we're rivals with them, Sparty, Badgers, and probably some more.

LSU doesn’t really have a true “rival”.
we have several teams we play annually that are consistently big games, but nobody that you can really and truly say both side embrace as a rival.

I'd say Bama comes closest, at least in the past decade or so.

I'd say Bama comes closest, at least in the past decade or so.

unfortunately, that’s been too one sided.

us and Florida is closest to .500 of anyone we play yearly.
and there is a lot more actual bad blood there.

us and Bama has always been cleaner and more respectful.

Florida recently and Auburn during the Tuberville years got personal and dirty at times.
both of those schools really know how to hire dipshit douche bags as their head coaches.


Florida for example is still parading around with a cat skeleton wearing purple and gold mardi bras beads. they first brought that one out the week Mike VI died in 2016. which wasn’t even the week we played them.
Assholes had it in the end zone for pregame warmups last night.

It will be a B12 shootout with Bama....

Fair enough... it was really more aimed at Ubet ... who seems to post about everyone on their schedule, except UT Martin and Towson, like it's rivalry week... and I attempted to steer it back towards that... but alas, I chose poorly when posting in the LSU thread.


But I'm not gonna lie... I don't get the beef some of you have with Tulane and GTech.
UF-FSU-Miami at least makes sense on a basic level. They've all had recent success and compete for the same murderers row of recruits...

ever met Tulane fans?

 

[kujirakira]

ever met Tulane fans?

Aren't all fanbases insufferable when their team is winning or they can fall back on some moral superiority ?
I'm sure they're inseparable from other "elite" schools full of local trustfund kids who didn't get into the Ivy of their choice.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

I've always understood the hatred of Tulane to be similar to @ORD_Buckeye 's hatred of the several Bevis schools. It's not that they're any particular threat, it's the unbridled douchebaggary and inflated sense of their relative standing that fuels the scorn.

Edit: North Dakota State fans, apparently, are the same. I had this conversation with my cousin (Lives in Minnesota) via text a couple weeks ago:

Cuz: NDSU fan here thinks that OSU is scared to play them
BKB: LOL.
Cuz: No. He's serious. These guys think that they can compete with OSU, Bama, etc. but that everyone is too scared to play them because they know they'll lose.
BKB: Oh. This motherfucker wants me to credit his bullshit? Nah.

And that was the end of that conversation.

that’s just it, they’re not locals.
majority of Tulane student body are from the Northeast. Like Jersey types.

they do truly feel like they’re elite though.

the main reason we no longer play them is because they’re ignorant assholes.

they think they deserve home and home with LSU. except instead of their High school stadium, they want their home game in the dome. And they want the full gate for it.

even though they’ll never come close to filling that thing even half way without LSU.

Regarding this LSU team, I’m impressed. At first I thought they were 2018 Ohio State with an explosive passing game and not much else, but last night that OL dominated. If they keep running the ball with that kind of anger and explosiveness, they’ll score on everybody. Also, while their D is not great, I don’t think it’s a shit show. Their guys are generally around the ball and there has been some very good execution against them. And Burrow is in total command of that offense: He’s making the right reads, he’s decisive, he’s dropping dimes (with velocity no less), he’s mobile enough to make defenses account for it, avoid big losses and pick up critical 3d downs, and he’s tough as nails with just the right amount of cockiness. Finally, let’s give Cajun Cookie Monster his due. Unlike “great” coaches like Dantonio and Beamer, he’s smart enough to recognize that offense isn’t his thing, find an OC to fix it, and stay the hell out of the way. That’s an underrated part of good leadership.
