Rivals 100 just released..
- Thread starter Jago
- Start date
but take into account that half of the Top 100 are from California, Texas, and Florida..its not that suprising
is several of their top guys have "earned MVP at _______ Nike Camp"
Kinda makes me wonder if those guys are really that good. I have no doubt they're very impressive, but I just wonder if Rival's is putting a little too much stock into there camps.

Depends...
If you are from MS and you (Moncrief) go win WR MVP at Tuscaloosa, that isn't good enough for you to be ranked above a Bama commit (Woodson). Their offer list are almost identical, although Moncrief doesn't have the Bama offer. Bama would have probably already offered him if he hadn't told writers that he was a Bama fan.
Sidenote...
Louisiana puts out a lot of talent, but I'm starting to wonder if they overrate the talent there.

there are alot of kids in Louisiana, especially compared to MS.. I'd be willing to be that Shreveport has about as many HS as Jackson does.
But they don't produce THAT many more. LA has 74 players in the NFL. MS has 49. That's not nearly enough difference to justify the difference in the Rivals 100 rankings. Now it's possible that this is just an extraordinary year for LA talent, but my money is on OMBD's theory that they're overrating the LA players.

but Slive and the refs came through...LSU also gets 2 weeks to prepare for them like Bammer has been for them...will be a great game
And I dont see how we suddenly have a "good shot" at them- hell, we have beaten them what- once the last 15 years? Auburn is coached well too- and got blown out in BR last year....the Great Petrino lost there too last year...saying we have a good chance is stretching it quite a bit...and they only had 11 Seniors on the roster- of which half of those only got alot of playing time

Not that it will matter. Bama is simply the better team and the better coached team.
Totally in character for you to say in the same post that LSU has a good chance against Bama because they played a close game last year and we have no chance against LSU even though we played a close game last year. Nice to see the old double standard still holds strong.

both games will be in BR- where LSU will play better. Bammer has had the week of before LSU the last 2 years and has still struggled to beat them- now LSU gets the same amount of prep time to surprise ol St Nick...that will help LSU whether you believe it or not
As for us, no doubt we will be better. But playing well in BR in not really "our thing"...

We have at least as much chance against LSU as LSU has against Bama. Saban is not going to lose that game. LSU lost a LOT from last year's team and as much as I've defended the Hat in the past, his in-game coaching decisions the last couple of years have been stunningly bad. You posted earlier today that winning in the SEC is all about QB play and defense. Bama has a good QB and you know Saban will have a good defense, especially with those recruiting classes. LSU still has no QB and they lost a lot from their defense.
LSU has future draft picks to replace the ones they lost- hell, LSU probably has the best Secondary in the conference, and have the most talented WR corps in the SEC in Tolliver, Randle, and Shepard...they have experience at QB if nothing else- they definitely have to get more out of that position...Bammer wins that battle fo sho...
Bammer is the slight favorite, but it's going to take everything they have to win at LSU

You still just really don't get it. That game wasn't determined by that call, Bama won the game by 9 and outgained LSU 452-253 and averaged two more yards per play. They were a MUCH better team, even though all people will remember is that call and want to dwell on it b/c of everything else that went on w/ SEC officiating last year, fans were looking for a conspiracy. Also proving Bama a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></span>MUCH better team was their scores against common opponents; Bama blew out MSU, UF, Arky, and Ole Miss, while LSU lost 2 of those and easily could've lost all four.Coach34 said:
MSU clearly outplayed LSU last year, and it took a miracle for MSU NOT to win that game. Petrino lost in BR in OT and could've easily won. LSU has slipped and it's obvious, even if they lucked out and beat Bama they STILL won't end up with a better overall record, b/c their coaching will lead to inconsistency and losing
Amazing how you still defend LSU and can't see how much better Saban is than anyone, much less Miles. (not to mention how you can't see LSU declining) Oh, and bama sure had a pretty easy time winning with a very mediocre first year starter at QB last year. They were 6-12 passing for 58 yards in the national title game vs TX and still scored 37 points against a good defense.
whatever said:
LSU should have had the pick with about 6 mins left in the game- down only 6 points......and would have had the ball in good field position on about the 35 or 40....it's not a stretch at all to think they could have put one drive together to go win the game. Instead- the officials take away the pick, and Bammer runs more clock and kicks a FG to put it out of reach. Also, losing Scott to a broken collarbone really hurt LSU in that game- he was having a good one until then.
Say what you want- it's going to take all Bammer has to beat LSU in Tiger Stadium...and how long has it been since we won there?
that Bama has owned LSU in BR the last decade plus? I still can't believe you're holding onto the "Les is a better head coach than Saban" argument. That is just beyond hard-headed.
LSU had three possessions in the 4th quarter and ran 11 plays for a total of 9 yards, and never moved past their own 32 yard line in those 3 possessions. If you think it was "feasible" for LSU to put a TD drive together with Lee at QB at that point in the game then you weren't paying attention to the flow of that game.
The game probably shouldn't have been that close looking at the yards per play and total yardage difference, Bama was a much, much better team. If there's one thing you couldn't be more wrong about, it's been the lack of credit you've given to Saban and the abundance of undeserved praise you've heaped on Miles. Maybe you're just not that good at recognizing what a good coach is.

Didn't the competent coach call for a pass on third and inches then an option on fourth and inches? Incompetent calls to decide the game. What says he won't pull the same **** in the future.
I'm not saying Mullen is incompetent with everything, but those calls reminded me of some of Lester's ******** calls.

The pass was broken up by a hell of a play by the LSU defender but if Tyson had thrown it a bit higher it would have been a TD because we had a receiver open in the back of the end zone.Uncle Travelling Matt said:
The option would have scored if Tyson had pitched to Dixon because Dixon ran untouched into the end zone.
Neither play call was bad at all -- better QB execution would have resulted in a TD. At some point your players have to execute.
That's not Mullen's fault necessarily -- he played the best QB on the roster (at that time) because Tyson was all we had.
But don't you think that most SEC coaches, given they are working with Lee at QB, would not put the ball in Lee's hands and just give it to the best player on the team?
He got too cute and put the gave the ball to the 5'11" scrub QB to win the game. Those were some dumb calls coming from your head coach and it lost you the game.
Who knows what that win could have done for state's team last year, a bowl game at the very least.
And had state lost the egg bowl, you would be questioning those calls as well instead of blaming the talent at QB.

it took an incredible play by a damn All-SEC 2 sport athlete to deflect the pass so we didnt score. 3/4 of the league's SS dont make that play. And nothing wrong with the 4th down call- Dixon had failed to punch it in on 1st or 2nd down- slamming him inside again against LSU's talent wasnt the answer there either.
They just made a helluva goalline stand- those things happen.
So the scrub QB throwing a pass to the guy that the ALL-SEC 2 sport athlete is guarding is a smart call over running Dixon?Coach34 said:
The safety from LSU was probably expecting a call up the middle and that was why he was late getting over to the TE and why he had to make such an incredible play. He is an ALL-SEC 2 sport athlete, that's what those guys do, they make plays. And that's why most coaches don't attack ALL-SEC 2 sports athletes with Tyson Lee, they run Dixon instead.
