Spacebump posted:LSU is still too scared to play Tulane in the game they owe them in New Orleans. Sad! They were killing our SoS so we had to drop them and pick up an FCS opponent to fix it. vyst posted:LSU is also the only team to get their asses handed to them in a road game in their own stadium really making it a home game because they were too much of a pussy to come to a mutual understanding with Florida Congratulations on squeaking out a win over a bad LSU team to earn the right to get embarrassed by Alabama. I'm certain you can ride that momentum to another season of offensive embarrassment and, hell, maybe another SEC championship embarrassment.

Spacebump posted:That'd be a good burn if LSU didn't schedule teams Tulane beats or could hire a better coach than Tulane. LSU could roll out a ham sandwich as head coach and still beat Tulane, which they basically did through the 80s and 90s.

TBeats posted:Lotta salt in this post. Unfriendly rivalry in my sports?! Well I never! I'm mad that our stupid, shithead AD gave Florida two home games in a row in exchange for playing at LSU this year in a game that didn't matter in a season that was already pretty much over. I feel better about this only because we've been able to beat Florida at home in recent history and also because even if we beat them we will still lose the west to Alabama, and they will still lose the SEC championship to Alabama, so we're all just trying to polish the same turd anyway.

Crotch Bat posted:instead we're at the point where when they eventually win one they're going to go apeshit and beat their chests over it for weeks. Sure, and this is what they should do, because it's the thing most likely to make VT fans real mad. When you beat your rivals you should rub it in mercilessly, and when they beat you you should let them know that your team was bad and you expected nothing different and they should feel bad about feeling so good about beating a bad team.

Crotch Bat posted:You'll find that cult of personality with any successful coach on any level. Art Briles isn't even that good of a head coach and Baylor wanted to ignore a laundry list of hosed up poo poo. I can't begin to imagine what Beamer or Bowden could have gotten away with if they had some big scandal. There will always be some lovely fans, but I don't think all fanbases would react identically to that sort of thing, and more importantly, all coaches aren't amoral rape apologists. Also, Briles is a really drat good coach.

kayakyakr posted:Plus recruiter, good defensive coach, at schools that are already predispositioned to win national titles. He's a very good defensive coach. And there are a lot of schools (Texas, USC, Notre Dame, Michigan, Florida) that are "pre-dispositioned" to win national titles based on natural advantages, and yet manage to spectacularly underperform routinely under a variety of coaches. LSU wasn't on a long streak of success when Saban got there. He's an exceptional college head coach, which encompasses a lot of disciplines beyond Xs and Os coaching, but he's also a very good Xs and Os defensive coach. Out of the crop of recent National Championship winner's I'd say he's more involved in X's and O's coaching than Urban or Dabo, who are also, get this, exceptionally good coaches. Saying "he runs really basic Offenses and Defenses" like it's a knock on his coaching ability is dumb. Ensuring consistency from game to game is probably the hardest thing for a college head coach and only the truly great ones can field consistent teams. Complicated schemes and playbooks don't benefit anyone. Chip Kelly's offense had like five plays in it, but it worked really really well because his players executed consistently.

Crotch Bat posted:Urbz is like the closest thing to a Beamer disciple you'll see. Dude visited Beamer virtually every offseason for the longest time, really bought into what Beamer preached about STs (most of the country bought in to some extent but Meyer was really about it). He and Beamer seemed to share a unique relationship from what I saw, always a lot of praise and respect from Meyer to Beamer even going beyond coach-speak stuff. "I want to be the head coach, and I want to run special teams. I want to be the game manager and the motivator," Meyer said. "I'm very involved in the offense, but I try to hire the best possible guys I can to coordinate, because coordinating the offense isn't calling a play. That's the misunderstanding."

MourningView posted:The SCAR one happened really early too so I wasn't totally clear that it had really hosed them until at the end of the season when they went on a tear, SCAR fell apart, and everyone else kept loving up. That might have been Richt's best shot at a title. They were a few yards and one dumb play by a receiver from playing for one in 2012 that I'm fairly confident they would have won.
