Something I'm Curious About

I actually had to think about it for a minute or so.

If I leave the Georgia game thinking anywhere near the line of “if we can play that well the rest of the season..” than there’s no way we don’t come out of that game with a W.

Georgia simply isn’t that good.

First post, gotta get the obligatory props out there. Love the blog, hate that only 1/3 of the posts are formatted to my cell and I can’t check it when I’m at work (I’m hooked on my tigers, even out here on the left coast).

Anyway, I think there’s more to this question. To me, it depends on how the season shakes out. If we win ugly Saturday then lose the next five games I’ll be upset. But if we win ugly between the hedges and then win ugly all year I’ll be happy as a clam. If we lose but look good then I feel like it’ll cure a lot of the woes and we’ll have a much better chance as we run the rest of the SEC gauntlet. But if we lose looking great and keep losing looking great that won’t make me any happier. I guess I’m just happy with wins, and as long as they keep coming I’ll be happy.

I’ve stayed out of the recent discussion regarding what we as fans should expect and what constitutes a good season. I’ve enjoyed every second of the recent wins but no matter how well the Tigers play I’m always worried about the next game coming up. Hell, I’m even worried about the next season without our current seniors but I don’t let it take away from the games. The only problem is as good as 4-0 feels, 4-8 or 8-4 don’t feel as good. Bear in mind, Vegas pegged us at 8.5 wins this year, so anything more than that and we’re beating expectations, #9/#11 preseason ranking not withstanding. I want to keep enjoying the wins, I just don’t want to get too caught up in being one of the 6 undefeated teams left and be let way down if the season spirals.

I agree with TigerPaw that if the Tigers play where I think they can (and should) then we shouldn’t lose unless Georgia has saved their best stuff for this game. I just hope we have too.

As with every game, I’m apprehensive and excited. I finally have this Saturday off from work so I can watch the game live. Geaux Tigers, and keep it up ATVS crew. Oh, and make the site work on my phone! I hate having to sidescroll.

Leave all that moral victory crazy talk to the Volunteers.

then work out the kinks and play better the next week. Like we’re doing now — right, right? I have a feeling they’re going to show some real improvement against Georgia. Then again, I thought that going into last week’s game against Miss St.

And winning ugly against Vandy, ULL, and State.

When you win ugly against a top 25 team it is understandable. When you win ugly against door mats, it isn’t.

any win is pretty. That’s the difference between Georgia and Mississippi State and Vandy.

But I want to see what the people say. Somehow, I imagine we’re going to see complaining no matter what.

Miss State’s first score came after a third down PI call that was second only to the goal line call v Auburn a few years back from being the worst call in SEC history. that gives them 7 instead of 3.

Then we have a sloppy field/sloppy wet ball over the punters head, should have been kicked for a safety or frankly just punted away, that gives them 7 instead of 2 or zero.

Then they had two third down plays where we basically had the QB basically sacked, he threw the ball up and got EXTREMELY LUCKY that one was a touchdown and the other led to a score.

This game could and should have been a blow out but to act like the stinking world is ending because we are not having beauty pageant wins on sloppy soaked fields when we gotten some bad bounces in the middle of rainstorms is just, well, STUPID!

Bottom line, sometimes you have to just win, baby! http://louisianastategameday.com/lsu-football-news/just-win-baby-monster-goal-line-stand-helps-tigers-remain-unbeaten/
