Everyone here seems to think last week's game was more of an indication that LSU sucks and will get their shit pushed inside out when they play bammer, rather than the idea that we might have shown some legitimate improvement.
You're forgetting the word of the day: Anomaly.
When there is a trend rather than a one-game aberration then the feeling might change.
I think people were okay with the Clemson loss. Offense struggled some, lots of new faces, new QB with his first start in a strange environ. Some kinks to work out. Damn, that defense looked bad at times but it's gonna get better.
Okay with it even though every orange and blue son of a bitch on the planet expected to knock Clemson off the ball and win the old fashioned way. Okay with it even though nobody in their tiger minds could have imagined Clemson gashing us over and over even without Weedie. Okay because it was a decent opponent.
Every bit of that went right out the window at State. The offense looked worse than it did on the 3-2 day (which we won), as bad or worse than it did during last season's abortion. It created new definitions for inept. The defense was some better in the first half, but Holland was so god awful shitty that his sucktastic play left a bad taste for everyone.
Offense was no better against ULM. Defense better at first, still folded at the end. But why the fuck are we comparing ourselves to a Sunbelt team to measure progress? We beat the War Fucks 34-0 in 2008 with the Franklin debacle. Beat them 52-3 in 2010 and Cam didn't get to run a single time. Didn't even play in the second half.
Dammit Chizad, we shoudn't be digging through acres of dirt hoping to find a sliver of fool's gold in the fourth year of a coaching regime that's allegedly recruited as well as this one has.
I want to be positive, I want this to work out if for no other reason than to silence the yapping fools on the radio. But I have my doubts.
When it's a trend and not just a single game here and there? Talk to me.
