I'll be watching on espn360.com

which is great, because it is included in my internet service at no extra charge, but I will be about a minute behind the game.

Anyone got an online radio feed of this game?

WWL seems to broadcasting some interview about real estate development.

I've been able to get every game so far this year

via one online stream or another. Not tonight. Maybe the rescheduling of this game has something to do with it.

This Ain't Fun

Gentlemen,
Again I find myself watching the game through the eyes of Jim Hawthorne. And, in trying to find a better radio signal, I almost missed the first drive by Troy. For those who are watching, is the team as flat as they sound or has Troy found the (well publicized) secret to giving us fits. Short passes that we give too much cushion to…

I don't think the defense was flat

troy just put together a nice drive.

88 yard drive for the men of Troy

So that’s nice

Obvious running formation, but it worked..

I’m a little behind the game, keep in mind.

How is this team still unable to have the right personal on the field

at this point in the season?

Now this is getting ridiculous

Richard,

I withdraw my previous comment and am beginning to be nervous about this game. Hopefully, adjustments will be made before the game gets totally out of hand.

by lawildbull on Nov 15, 2008 7:36 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Troy had 179 yards in first quarter.

Dare I say?

We need points on THIS possession

Lee is a completely different quarterback from

when he was going against Auburn, North TExas, South Carolina.. even Georgia

Richard called it

Not over yet by far …. but this is ridiculous.
Embarrassing! 17-3 now.
I apologize on behalf of myself, the Tigers and the great state of Louisiana.

Allons le Tigres!!!!

When we get the ball again

The next half dozen plays should be Scott running behind Johnson. It’s the only thing that had been working. Everything else has been so bad, we’ve been giving ineptitude a bad name.

by uberschuck on Nov 15, 2008 8:13 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

As bad as things are..

I think one good scoring drive could turn things around.

Richard Pittman

by Richard Pittman on Nov 15, 2008 8:14 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yeah…then we’d only be down 7 on our own field to a sun belt team

I’m not quitting yet, but this is worse than the first half of the tulane game last year.

Wow

The Jarret Lee Transfer Game

What a picture of domestic tranquility... Hemlock on the hearth and my wife feeding the piranha.

by Man Mountain on Nov 15, 2008 8:17 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Agree

because Jarrett Lee is not very good at playing football.

by Gregatron on Nov 15, 2008 8:20 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yep

if Les continues to put his faith in this pansy who intentionally grounds balls to keep his jersey from getting dirty, we will see a repeat of this hideous season again in ‘09……sorry if no one likes the truth….this guy is a horrible football player and I will bet my life as a Tigers fan that he won’t get any better before next season. I am so disappointed about this season after such a great one last year. Boy I miss Dorsey, Hester, Flynn and the rest of those guys.

by TigerfaninGeorgia on Nov 15, 2008 8:58 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Actually, he has a completion

One thing is that the line isn’t opening holes

Richard Pittman

So we hung in there with the number one team in the nation

until the bitter end. And tonight we look like a HS team.

Okay…. breathe. We are a second half team. This is not over at all.

by CajunCavern on Nov 15, 2008 8:24 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

as a fan of that team you faced last week i implore you to come out big in the second half.

by kleph on Nov 15, 2008 8:26 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I am most disappointed in the play of our offensive line..

We should be running for 5 yards per carry whenever we want

Richard Pittman

by Richard Pittman on Nov 15, 2008 8:34 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

CBS Sportsline GameCenter ...

has Jordan Jefferson with 0 completions and 5 attempts.
Someone has something different?

Dalfry – 0 completions / 1 attempt

Lee – 3 cm / 10 att – 16 yds - 1 INT (for TD)

Um, looks like I might have to suit up. I’m only 38 and a bit overweight. I cannot do any worse.

by CajunCavern on Nov 15, 2008 8:46 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

God help us

What Bozo dis we get for a quarterback this year? This guy could not throw a completion if Dan Marino invaded his body. What a wuss……………..

by TigerfaninGeorgia on Nov 15, 2008 8:51 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

This is so bad that even if we come back and win I will still feel bad about this game. It’s been half a decade since we played so crappy…maybe the shutout loss to BAMA under Saban.

by uberschuck on Nov 15, 2008 8:54 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It's amazing how far we've fallen so fast.

Lee isn’t the only problem on this team.

I'm not sure how much more of this I can watch.

I’m still loyal to the cause, but this slop is almost unbearable.

Did i hear in the first half...

That two of Troy’s starting O-linemen are walk ons?

by LSU Jonno on Nov 15, 2008 9:10 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Their QB is going to be in the Heisman race after tonight.

The clock is about to be as big a problem as Troy’s offense, however.

by artiger on Nov 15, 2008 9:10 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

How do we come back from this?

Even if our defense can stop the bleeding, we don’t have the offense to catch up now.

by artiger on Nov 15, 2008 9:12 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Our season is somewhat reminiscent of Bama's last year

Lost a heartbreaker to a good team, then flat the next week..

And ULM just got their tail handed to them by Ole Miss

I’m wondering what Ole Miss will do to us now. No. No.
Not thinking about that now.

by CajunCavern on Nov 15, 2008 9:14 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

and we need to play a more aggressive game on defense

At least it would bring spirit to the game.

This proves our DC's...

Do not understand how to stop a spread scheme. Because, Troy’s players are not faster.

This should be all that Miles needs to fire them, and if he doesn’t I can’t argue with anyone who calls him a moron anymore.

Epitome of our problems

On that 3rd and 3, there was an undisguised blitz from the right side of the line, and no one even tried to pick him up.

It's a good thing we are already bowl eligable...

Because we won’t win another game, these guys have given up on the season.

I was always told to accentuate the positive (Mary Poppins style) so here I go:

What is most sickening

is that we have been getting good field position (thanks to their kickoffs), and can’t do anything with it. Oops, thanks for the penalty.

by artiger on Nov 15, 2008 9:23 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

we're failing in all respects

Offense, defense, special teams, coaching.. I don’t like the offensive playcalling on that possession. It’s like they don’t realize we’re behind by 28.

Richard Pittman

by Richard Pittman on Nov 15, 2008 9:24 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Throw it deep.

If it’s intercepted, the D will have an opportunity to stop them.

Good catch, Lafell

by lawildbull on Nov 15, 2008 9:24 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Lee is really at his best throwing deep and intermediate passes..

and lo and behold, we pretty much need to throw down the field now.

but Troy has played their asses off.

We truly have to abandon the run at this point

but the run has failed utterly for most of the game.

Now that we've opened up the deep game,

we can probably go with dump offs now too. They just weren’t working when we would not go deep at all.

The Tigervision Color Man is a complete idiot

Scott’s knee went down at the 1 1/2, but he was clearly stretched forward to near the goal line, but he said more than once that the ball would be placed at the 1 1/2. He doesn’t have a basic grasp of the rules. Nor can he pronounce our 2nd string QB’s name

As much as I hate the FG

it’s probably the right thing. Our defense has woken up.

by artiger on Nov 15, 2008 10:09 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We just have to keep playing well on defense, and we'll have a chance

If we had had a 4th and one, we maybe should have gone for it, but not 4th and 4.

The largest second half bowl comeback was Texas Tech over Minnesota in the 2006 Insight Bowl. Red Raiders were down 38-7 with 7:47 to go in the third and won 44-41 in overtime. I don’t know if there’s a regular season game that tops it.

I remember a long time ago.

Maryland was down 35-0 to Miami at the half, and came back to win
