WOW!!!!!!

Im not believing what I'm seeing.......

[Seppeh]

Aww you ruined it HitYourStride!. I wanted to see how long Neo would keep going in here by himself, avoiding the big, 10 page thread on this game already.

[GatorHunter]

Congrats Cocks!!! Nice TD...make the East proud!!! I'm rootin' for ya...we got to play these animals in two weeks...:(

[Neo]

WOW!!!!!!

[scfan5338]

We moved the ball well on offense with the help of that personal foul penalty. With it raining, its going to be tough to throw and we can't run on this D.

On the defense, we shouldnt be looking to strip the ball in the rain because there is a fast guy running the ball. We need to tackle and not go for the strip. We're missing Jasper in there right now:-(

[Ralliartist]

Whew!!!!!!! Let's Go Cocks!!!!!!

[Ralliartist]

alright, come on D! We are gonna need a big stop here!

[True Grit]

Succop is an absolute beast. LSU should just forfeit because of him.

[Ralliartist]

lol, now that's funny.

[True Grit]

Seriously, I dont think any other SEC kickers could have gotten that PAT.

[gatorunvrsty]

Wow, that was a horrible kick-interference call. The returner waited way too long to call for the fair catch... you can't expect a guy who's been running full-speed all the way down the field to stop on a dime when the returner is fair game for the hit right up until that time.

[Ralliartist]

yea, that was a horrible call. But I'm not gonna play the blame game. We need a huge stop here. Oh, and that was definitely a fumble too.

[Ralliartist]

good D!!!!

[Ralliartist]

come on D, you gotta make that stop! dammit!

[JDStud6]

c'mon Jasper...get better quick!

JD

[True Grit]

LSU inside the 4.

[True Grit]

Td Lsu!!!!

[Ralliartist]

man, losing jasper brinkley really hurt us.

[JDStud6]

it sure does...cant believe he got hurt the 2nd play :(

JD

[True Grit]

I think Perrilloux will probably be coming in alot more now. Flynn isnt passing well and cant run.

[True Grit]

Lsu Recovers Fuble!!!

[Ralliartist]

dammit kenny. We need a huge stop here, let's go D!!!

[Ralliartist]

good coverage. you guys are gonna have to run it and we are gonna have to throw it.

[Ralliartist]

good stop D!!!! the feild goal is NO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ralliartist]

ryan succop may prove very worthy!!!

[scfan5338]

ryan succop may prove very worthy!!!

no man their kicker and punters are like the greatest thing in the world. he didn't mention that we partially blocked a punt either. #83 chris mattews did that.

[Ralliartist]

whoo hoo, Norwood on a sack!!!!!!!

[Ralliartist]

let's go Offense, we need a TD!

[DanielW4444]

DAMN at that INT!!!

[True Grit]

Nice trick play.

21-7 LSU

[scfan5338]

man i called that fake FG. as soon as they called that 3rd down play, i was like spurrier they're gonna fake ittt. awesome play by the special team of lsu though. we can't move the ball at all. Much like i predicted, we're done by half time.

[True Grit]

Captain Munnerlyn is down. Looks like a neck injury. Not good...

[Dr. Pepper]

We're dropping like flies. Maybe we can put Adam Sandler in.

[True Grit]

That was excuted very good. It was beautiful.

[True Grit]

We're dropping like flies. Maybe we can put Adam Sandler in.

At least he go off on his own. Probably a concussion.

[Dr. Pepper]

Cheap shot. Spurrier needs to show that to the team at half time.

[Dr. Pepper]

I really thought Blake had fire in his eye late in the first quarter, but there was absolutely no offense for the most part. I expect to see Smelley if Blake can't get them going early in the third.

[Dr. Pepper]

This game has a long way to go. But losing Brinkley is a killer. Every bounce went LSU's way in the first half. Maybe we will get a couple of bounces in the second.

[True Grit]

I hope Smelley comes in. Every team that has played LSU this year has put in their backup.

[True Grit]

WR Jared Mitchell needs to come out for LSU. Too many drops. Put in Lafell, Byrd, and Tolliver, get the passing game going.

[Dr. Pepper]

Why do you want to get the passing game going? You are running at will. Go ahead, throw it if you want, maybe we will start getting some of the tips.

[True Grit]

The passing game would be doing well if Mitchell hadnt had those three drops.

LSU is kinda shooting themselves in the foot. If it werent for drops and penalties it would be the score would probably 35-3.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

I was wondering where all of you were! LOL

I was on the other thread just talking away to myself...LOL

DOH!

[crawfish]

Why do you want to get the passing game going? You are running at will. Go ahead, throw it if you want, maybe we will start getting some of the tips.

It'll be all run attack in the second half with passing only to keep Cocks defense honest. About the way we thought the game would go with rain. Should be a great second half of action. Loved the trick play. I knew it was coming as well after that uneventful 3rd down play.

[Dr. Pepper]

Everyone is a genius.

[Dr. Pepper]

If Cook picks that pass, it is a whole new game. Gotta get some offense!

[Rastus]

It'll be all run attack in the second half with passing only to keep Cocks defense honest. About the way we thought the game would go with rain. Should be a great second half of action. Loved the trick play. I knew it was coming as well after that uneventful 3rd down play.

Yeah we got burned. even the OBC was smiling.

Smelly is in now at QB.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Dr. Pepper]

This could get ugly.

[crawfish]

Ouch! LSU has got to take advantage of the OBC's bad decision.

[scfan5338]

This could get ugly.

It got ugly when they scored the second TD. I dont know why Spurrier went for it on that one, and even when he did we freaking ran it right at Dorsey. Pitch it or something. Our offense is the worst it has been under spurrier and this is reminding me of the Holtz days...conservative play calling the entire game or in this case, the entire season. I thought Mitchell would give us the best chance to win, but maybe not. Forget all them bring out Garcia.

[DanielW4444]

LSU has caused 4 QB changes in the 4 games they have played

[C_hris]

I am lovin this. GO TIGERS

[scfan5338]

I am lovin this. GO TIGERS

I'm sure you are. I'm gonna be loving the butt whooping Bama is gonna give yall. I love how UGA fans just get entirely pissed when they get beat by anyone and especially this time by UGA. You can't accept the fact that we beat you. After we lose to LSU you're gonna say we got lucky and we're not as good as we think. There are only like 5 or 6 good uga fans on this board.

[Sabanocchio]

The USC defense is looking good!!!!!!!!!! :happy:

Like I said,

USC 24
LSU 21

LMAO! :laugh: :lol::uglyhamme:alcohol:
All I'm anxious to see is if the LSU fans are as obnoxious and classless after this win as the USC fans were when they beat Georgia.:unsure:

Me thinks not.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Nice run!!! Way to get the momentum swinging our way again!!

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Great catch for a first down!!!

[C_hris]

I'm sure you are. I'm gonna be loving the butt whooping Bama is gonna give yall. I love how UGA fans just get entirely pissed when they get beat by anyone and especially this time by UGA. You can't accept the fact that we beat you. After we lose to LSU you're gonna say we got lucky and we're not as good as we think. There are only like 5 or 6 good uga fans on this board.

If you didn't notice I was one of the VERY FEW who said good game last Saturday. I dint know where you get off spewing all this crap outta your mouth when all I said is Go Tigers. Dint talk it out on someone else just cause your getting slaughtered on the field. You need to go ahead and get over this loss yourself. I dont know about any other dawg fans but im over the SC loss. In fact I really dont care........

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Wooo hoo! Smelley to Boyd!!! Go gamecockssssssss!

[C_hris]

LMAO! :laugh: :lol::uglyhamme:alcohol:
All I'm anxious to see is if the LSU fans are as obnoxious and classless after this win as the USC fans were when they beat Georgia.:unsure:

Me thinks not.


Bout time you come back.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

I have to say I am pulling for Georgia tonight!

reasons...
I hate Bama...lol
Will make South Carolina look bettter if UGA wins
Hubby is a GA fan and he pulls for SC and AU as long as we are playing his team!

[Sabanocchio]

Intercepted. You guys aren't nearly as good as you claim to be, Cocks.

[usafbamafan]

I was wrong about this game. I thought it would be close.

LSU is in another league. I don't see any other team in the SEC that can beat them straight up. Someone may get lucky, but I just don't see it happening.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Dangit...

We keep shooting ourselves in the foot...

Get in the red zone...and dangit if we don't keep turning the ball over...:brick:

[Sabanocchio]

Bout time you come back.

Yeah, I took a hiatus. I'll work on that sig for you when I can, Chris.

[TigersFanTaylor]

Atta boy Tigers! Way to hand the Cocks their first SEC loss. Man, if only the Rebels could have pulled the upset on the Gators.

[Dr. Pepper]

Smelley consistently throws the ball about 4 yards too short.

[Sabanocchio]

I was wrong about this game. I thought it would be close.

LSU is in another league. I don't see any other team in the SEC that can beat them straight up. Someone may get lucky, but I just don't see it happening.

LSU is beatable, although I don't think it will happen. Florida would be the only team on their schedule capable thus far. Face it. USC just sux.

[Kevhugh]

Intercepted. You guys aren't nearly as good as you claim to be, Cocks.

Wow, we're not as good as LSU. Who would have thought that??? I thought they were ranked number 2 and we're 12th because we are better than them.

On a side note, you gave up 59 points and lost by 39 pts to a team that beat Ole Miss by six today. See you in October.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Well, even though I hate for my teams to lose to any other team...if LSU ends up going all of the way and then wins the NC, I will look back and not feel so bad that my team(s) lost to them. I just want the SEC to be represented well!! Of course, right now, I am pulling like heck for SC!! :laugh:

[scfan5338]

I was probably the ONLY USC fan on this board that said that this game would be over by halftime. I knew that LSU was going to bring most of the other fans back to life because everyone was on another planet. They claimed Spurrier was holding back the playbook because he didn't wanna "give any film." Well he did that and we lost pretty good I'd say. He is not the coach at Florida obviously, but he is almost the coach he was with the Redskins. He is so conservative it's not even funny.

[C_hris]

LSU is beatable, although I don't think it will happen. Florida would be the only team on their schedule capable thus far. Face it. USC just sux.


Well Georgia sucked worse when we played'em so give a lil credit Sabo.

[Kevhugh]

Easy..not the only one...go back and look at my posts.

[scfan5338]

Intercepted. You guys aren't nearly as good as you claim to be, Cocks.

You are 0-1 in the SEC and at the bottom of the SEC East. You're not as good as you claimed to be at the beginning of the season. You're all so mighty Ainge is average and that defense is horrible.

Our defense gives up 300 yards rushing a game and still manages to win most of the games except for this one.

[Kevhugh]

Sabanacchio is a class act minus the "cl"

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Yeah, I took a hiatus. I'll work on that sig for you when I can, Chris.


Don't ya wanna make one for me with Auburn and South Carolina? I would be eternally grateful! :wub:

[scfan5338]

Easy..not the only one...go back and look at my posts.

Yeah yeah. You're right. You were. But you have to agree. Most of the other Gamecock fans on this board are on another planet. Our offense is pathetic and the defense well.....like I said, I could be out there and run for a 100 or so yards.

[Sabanocchio]

Well Georgia sucked worse when we played'em so give a lil credit Sabo.

Stafford played below his level vs. USC. Georgia would beat them 8 out of 10 times they played.

[Kevhugh]

Yeah yeah. You're right. You were. But you have to agree. Most of the other Gamecock fans on this board are on another planet. Our offense is pathetic and the defense well.....like I said, I could be out there and run for a 100 or so yards.

Yeah but the future is bright. I see some bright spots from some underclassmen in this game. Culliver, Smelley, Matthews, etc...

[C_hris]

Don't ya wanna make one for me with Auburn and South Carolina? I would be eternally grateful! :wub:


Those teams just dont go together lol :thumpsup: But It would make a very interesting Sig. lol

[Kevhugh]

And Saunders....I knew I had forgotten someone.

[scfan5338]

Stafford played below his level vs. USC. Georgia would beat them 8 out of 10 times they played.

And USC can claim that Mitchell played below his level in that game. Cook was out for the game..one of our best players. UGA would not beat USC 8 out of 10 times.

[C_hris]

Stafford played below his level vs. USC. Georgia would beat them 8 out of 10 times they played.


Agreed. :thumpsup:

[Kevhugh]

I think we'll find out how good or not good UGA is tonight. It almost pains me to say that Gamecock fans have to pull for Alabama and Arkansas tonight.

[scfan5338]

I think we'll find out how good or not good UGA is tonight. It almost pains me to say that Gamecock fans have to pull for Alabama and Arkansas tonight.

I agree. :thumpsup:

[Dr. Pepper]

Fourth Quarter. Anyone remember the 1994 LSU/Auburn game?

[timNem]

I think we'll find out how good or not good UGA is tonight. It almost pains me to say that Gamecock fans have to pull for Alabama and Arkansas tonight.
No pain, no gain. :laugh:

[C_hris]

Did it look like that ref just bumped the ball back a lil bit to not get the first down.

[Kevhugh]

Saunders is having a coming out party of sorts but the freshman doesn't have a nose for the first down marker yet does he? lol

[C_hris]

Good block

[usafbamafan]

LSU is beatable, although I don't think it will happen. Florida would be the only team on their schedule capable thus far. Face it. USC just sux.

I don't think Florida matches up well with LSU. They have the best chance but their offense will struggle against LSU's defense. I don't think Florida's defense can stop LSU.

[timNem]

Did it look like that ref just bumped the ball back a lil bit to not get the first down.
Thats what I thought too. Maybe he was checking the for space between the ball and first down pole. I know there was an LSU fan on here last weekend raising immortal hell over a spot in the Bama-Arky game. :laugh:

[C_hris]

Thats what I thought too. Maybe he was checking the for space between the ball and first down pole. I know there was an LSU fan on here last weekend raising immortal hell over a spot in the Bama-Arky game. :laugh:


Yeah it just looked wierd to me. I looked like he bumped it and it just rolled just a tad.

[Kevhugh]

I was just sitting here thinking, winning the SEC East is supposed to be a reward. Then you have to go to Atlanta and play this LSU team. That sounds like punishment to me.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Those teams just dont go together lol :thumpsup: But It would make a very interesting Sig. lol

lol!! Yeah, and then the hubby's Georgia stuff...well..our house is a plethora of colors!!

We have our study in our house that is Auburn/South Carolina/Georgia/Braves/and Earnhardt!

[C_hris]

I was just sitting here thinking, winning the SEC East is supposed to be a reward. Then you have to go to Atlanta and play this LSU team. That sounds like punishment to me.


Lol this is true. I think we are going to see Florida and LSU twice this year.

[Ralliartist]

well, we would have lost this game anyway from the way we are playing. we got too many guys getting hurt and we are just being outmatched and pushed all over the field. But the score would be closer if wasn't for possibly the worst refs in college football history.

[C_hris]

Ha LSU's defensive line isn't even trying anymore.

[scfan5338]

Saunders is having a coming out party of sorts but the freshman doesn't have a nose for the first down marker yet does he? lol

Saunders is going to be a stud at USC. Forget Boyd and Cook and start Saunders..he's the future at TE.

[TigersFanTaylor]

Lol this is true. I think we are going to see Florida and LSU twice this year.

That would be the safe bet. You never know though. The season is long from over, and the East race is still very close.

[Kevhugh]

Saunders is going to be a stud at USC. Forget Boyd and Cook and start Saunders..he's the future at TE.

Well, he needs to play in passing situations but I doubt he's as good of a blocker as A. Boyd right now. But he will definitely be a stud soon. We can probably move Cook to WR and play Saunders though. That might help the depth at WR.

[C_hris]

I am laughing at my TV just looking at LSU. They look like they just don't care. I mean watch there lines and that was a very enthusiastic punt return lol

[Kevhugh]

This just in....Louisville still sucks

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Nice interception!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dr. Pepper]

Intercepted! Here we go!

[usafbamafan]

Les is a dickhead. What kind of ridiculous playcall is that? Show some F'ing class!:angry:

[C_hris]

Those South Carolina guys just about destroyed each other lol

[Kevhugh]

*cough* 16-12 *cough* *cough*

[C_hris]

*cough* *cough* Don't care *cough* *cough*

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Nice tiptoeing along the sidelines!!! First down!!

[C_hris]

Those tap dancing classes help with something after all.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

I think Spurrier just reached for the visor to throw it, but it wasn't there! lol

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Those tap dancing classes help with something after all.

this is true...:laugh:

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Woo hoo...First and Goal!!!

[DanielW4444]

Why did Spurrier go for the field goal?

[C_hris]

.......three points........whooo hooo........Why did he do that?

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

well, 3 points are better than nothing...does look better to have 2 digits on the scoreboard instead of just 1...but I think we should have gone for 7.

On side kick next? Spurrier needs to dig deeper into that playbook for some trick plays...

[Kevhugh]

We're ahead of the spread by 1 now baby.

[Dr. Pepper]

Well, we have scored more against them than anyone else. Smelley has got to get some air under the ball. He is driving me nuts!

[Sabanocchio]

Don't ya wanna make one for me with Auburn and South Carolina? I would be eternally grateful! :wub:

Sure. I'll make you something real nice. Let me get Chris' first since he asked first.

[Kevhugh]

Smelley=better than Mitchell...of course that doesn't say much.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Sure. I'll make you something real nice. Let me get Chris' first since he asked first.

Thanks!! I appreciate it! :wub:

[scfan5338]

Another thing we learned today is that Chris is not over the loss yet.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

My Shih-Tzu in my Siggy is my sweet boy...His full name is Tubby Tomerville...after Tommy Tuberville. Tubby's 3rd birthday is today. I bought him his own bag of pork skins, but he had to share with his 3 sisters. Now since he is 21 in dog years, I guess I should have bought him a beer...:laugh:

[C_hris]

Another thing we learned today is that Chris is not over the loss yet.


Huh???? Why am I not over it. I thought I was over it about 15 mins after the game when me and all my friends went out to a party and I didnt really think of the game after that. But if it means I not over the loss because I am enjoying you guys getting beat then I am by no means over the loss :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Kevhugh]

What goes around comes around....and it's coming around in about 55 minutes now that I mention it.

[C_hris]

Again if my team loses well im upset for a couple of mins then go hang out with friends and am over it. But thats just me.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Got another good drive going....

Not digging these dirty hits...:ohmy:

[Sabanocchio]

And USC can claim that Mitchell played below his level in that game. Cook was out for the game..one of our best players. UGA would not beat USC 8 out of 10 times.

They could argue that...but they'd be stupid. Mitchell has played above his level the last two years.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Go Davissssssssss!!!!!!!!

[Sabanocchio]

My Shih-Tzu in my Siggy is my sweet boy...His full name is Tubby Tomerville...after Tommy Tuberville. Tubby's 3rd birthday is today. I bought him his own bag of pork skins, but he had to share with his 3 sisters. Now since he is 21 in dog years, I guess I should have bought him a beer...:laugh:

Happy B-day Tubby!

[TigersFanTaylor]

It's not that the Gamecocks are bad, but that LSU is just too good. This is the closest game LSU has been in all season. Before this game, the most amount of points given up by LSU was 7, and the least points LSU had scored was 44.

LSU is just too good.

[C_hris]

Red-Zone offense sucks. Reminds me of Georgia's last year.

[Dr. Pepper]

We need Kimry. Can anyone throw the fade?

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Holy crap.....Glad Smelley still has his head attached...

[Dr. Pepper]

TD. At least we didn't quit.

[GatorHunter]

Watchin' this game...LSU's D is awesome. But SC's offense doesn't look good...I know a lot is attributed to LSU's D...but the Cocks had little semblance of execution.

Tough loss, Cocks...I was rootin' for ya though.

Congrats on the big win LSU.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

How the heck could the announcer say that that stuff just happens when he practically took his head off..did take his helmet off...Geez!


Whew, can see yellow all around the foot! Ruling stands...TD, Gamecocks!!

[scfan5338]

TD. At least we didn't quit.

That is probably the only good thing we gained from this game. That and Wesley Saunders has emerged as a pass catching TE.

[Dr. Pepper]

Regarding the field goal. We are still perfect in the red zone.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Too bad our offense didn't wake up earlier. This turned out to be a better game than I thought it would be after watching the beginning ...

Ohhh, onside kick...and they gave it to LSU? I thought we got it...dangit..

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

Did Spurrier color his hair?

[gatorunvrsty]

LSU is being brought back to Earth a little sooner than I expected. I thought it would take the likes of Florida to accomplish that. This doesn't mean LSU is not a team that I will not be immensely worried about playing, but they are looking more human today, than superhuman.
SLB

[Dr. Pepper]

Nice win, LSU. See you in Atlanta.

[AuburnandGamecockGirl]

South Carolina has a lot to work on, but they also have much to be proud of...was an interesting, fun game.

LOL, looking at the play of the game...even Spurrier had to laugh at that play..very creative!

Good game, LSU Tigers!

[lacene]

Good game to the Tigers! Ya'll were just too tough for us.

[True Grit]

Closer game than I thought. Without a few drops and penalties it would probably 35-10. If Flynn and Doucet werent injured and there wasnt rain LSU probably would have scored at least 40 points. Oh well, still won. Good game Cocks.

[Rastus]

Great game Tigers. At least we didn't give up. Go take the NC now!

[C_hris]

Nice win, LSU. See you in Atlanta.


Please.....We all know Flordia will be the only team playing LSU twice.

[gatorunvrsty]

Yeah, it looks like two teams got their "welcome back to Earth" moments today.

If we coulda' woulda' shoulda'
We dropped a few today. If we hadn't dropped them... So it goes

[lacene]

LMAO! :laugh: :lol::uglyhamme:alcohol:
All I'm anxious to see is if the LSU fans are as obnoxious and classless after this win as the USC fans were when they beat Georgia.:unsure:

Me thinks not.

I know one thing: there's at least one Volunteer fan that's more obnoxious. Why don't you go find your own game thread, troll.


"You need to check yourself"


:thumbsdow

[Rastus]

Yeah, it looks like two teams got their "welcome back to Earth" moments today.

That's accurate.

[True Grit]

Yeah, it looks like two teams got their "welcome back to Earth" moments today.

And Flynn's injury, Doucet being out, and the rain had nothing to do with it.

[Rastus]

And Flynn's injury, Doucet being out, and the rain had nothing to do with it.It rained on everybody. We had several extremely key players out too. That's football.

[SoCarFan]

Good game LSU. SC still has work to do. Lots of excuses out there for not getting 40 pts. This that, this that, blah blah blah. Take the win and act like you've been there before.

[gatorunvrsty]

And Flynn's injury, Doucet being out, and the rain had nothing to do with it.

Yeah, you're right... it didn't rain on USC's players. Please, if not for the trick play, and Spurrier's ill-advised decision to go for it on 4th down from his own 35 or 40, this game would have had y'all going to change your boxers.:dry: Oh, and USC had injuries, too.

[Ralliartist]

Please.....We all know Flordia will be the only team playing LSU twice.

I'm going to have to vouch for us. We'll see LSU in Atlanta. Did you happen to see the Ole miss game? We are more than ready for Florida. Rematch in Atlanta. USC vs LSU for the SECCG.

[True Grit]

Yeah, you're right... it didn't rain on USC's players. Please, if not for the trick play, and Spurrier's ill-advised decision to go for it on 4th down from his own 35 or 40, this game would have had y'all going to change your boxers.:dry: Oh, and USC had injuries, too.

Think what you want. IF Doucet and Flynn hadnt been injured and there wasnt rain LSU would have won 40-10.

[Ralliartist]

Yeah, you're right... it didn't rain on USC's players. Please, if not for the trick play, and Spurrier's ill-advised decision to go for it on 4th down from his own 35 or 40, this game would have had y'all going to change your boxers.:dry: Oh, and USC had injuries, too.


We appreciate you taking up for us. This game was really close as a few of us expected. It's gotta be tough for a tiger to not win big. Some cut throat football though no doubt. Bunch of cheap shots. I can't say I'm overly impressed with the way LSU played. But they won and that's that. We were outmatched no doubt. Good game, see you in Atlanta.

Exactly. I've about had it with immature sh*ts like her. I had her pegged as a Gamecock hater from the beginning. I like how she comes into threads and tries to act like Mother Teresa, scolding other's for posting "classless" posts, and being a grammar nazi. I don't recall any Gamecock fans here saying "Tennessee sux" when they lost by 39 points to UF. Hell, LSU didn't even SCORE 39 in our game.....

No, LSU would have still out-talented you guys.

No, USC has more heart than you guys and acutally plays the full 60 minutes.

I agree with you 100% it looked as if in the fourth Quarter LSU just stoped trying. Not saying anything bad but I think if LSU had wanted to keep South Carolina from scoring they could have. They just knew they had won the game so were just riding out the clock and not trying to get anyone hurt.

Keep telling yourself that...oh and get over the loss we handed to you and start worrying about the loss bama is about to lay on your puppies tonight.

I'm going to have to vouch for us. We'll see LSU in Atlanta. Did you happen to see the Ole miss game? We are more than ready for Florida. Rematch in Atlanta. USC vs LSU for the SECCG.

"Not so fast, my friend!"

UF's game was their first SEC road contest for 18 of our players. We played pretty bad, I'll admit; but, I wouldn't expect to see that very often. It was a good learning experience. At least our close game was on the road. You'd have thought that LSU would have beaten USC the same way we beat UT in their own house. But, if you still want to come to Atlanta, and watch UF play, I can put you up at my house for the weekend.:thumbs:

EDIT: I stand corrected. ESPN just informed me that 35 members of our team had never played outside of Gainesville.

I'm not. Lacene's just pissed 'cuz she has Lesbian tendencies and wishes I were.

[lacene]

I had us losing by a TD, so to lose 28-16 is still not as close as I thought it'd be, but not as bad as most thought (we covered the spread, and won me a ton of worthless v-money, at least). LSU clearly has the better D and O-lines. Losing Jasper Brinkley early in the game was critical for us, after already losing Pepper last week. If Jap was able to play the whole game, we wouldn't have won, but we would've done better against the run, IMO.

I'm starting to become concerned about USC's WR's. Beyond McKinley, no one is really stepping up, and we will need them during the course of the season. Our RB's were our top 2 receivers for the game, and usually have been among the reception leaders this young season. That cannot continue.

Looks like we have a QB controversy on our hands. This thing about Mitchell's confidence confuses me: he's a 5th-year senior, and shouldn't be having this problem. Smelley on the other hand threw for 170+ yards and a TD in one half of football, and despite being erratic at times, he played much better than Mitchell, at a time in the game when LSU knew we had to start throwing.

Emmanual Cook dropped a sure TD INT in wide open territory. I guess our DB's simply do not know how to catch a ball. That touchdown would have made the game very interesting.

IMO, as far as rooting for the Gamecocks, I was playing with the house's money in this game: a game that I figured us to lose this year, but one that I wouldn't throw back if we won.

Good luck to LSU the rest of the season...I doubt we will be playing you again this season. We'll see you next season in Williams-Brice!

If I remember right, you beat UT in the swamp, not their house. We lost respectively to LSU in Death Valley. We'll see how you guys do when you play them. Then we'll compare, ok?

Nice game USC. You guys played tough and will be a team to reckon with in the East. I can assure you that no one else is looking forward to playing you guys. Good luck the rest of the season.

I thought our Tigers played well with some key players out and weather conditions. I thought our backs really came through with some big time runs for large amounts of yardage. The trick play was just a thing of beauty. Bottom line: we're 4 - 0! Tulane is next!

No I'm not. I am the man that Sabannochio dreams of one day growing up to be, just as soon as she saves up enough money from her online sig business to pay for that cosmetic penile prosthesis surgery. Just 5 more years, right Sabannochio??

Thanks for the classy post, Crawfish. Your backs and especially your O-Line were very impressive.

I felt we lost our heart & soul on D with Jasper Brinkley not at 100% after his second injury. No excuses. Congrats & Good Luck the rest of the season.

[OmahaBound]

Good game, LSU. We all knew you were the better team, but my hopes for the upset weren't completely unrealistic. I liked the way the CBS announcers were pondering a rematch in Atlanta. I'm up for it if you guys are.:thumpsup:

Also I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the conduct of LSU on the field. They were exuberant and animated, but I didn't notice a whole lot of in-your-face trash talk, and I saw a lot more guys helping up our Gamecocks after plays than one typically sees. Other than that one dirty hit by Murphy(I think) on the kickoff return I had no problems with the way that game was played...and obviously that type of thing unfortunately happens from time to time on every team.

Great game Tigers. Good luck the rest of the way, and I hope we can do it again in a couple months.

[GTmorris1970]

Great game LSU, and congrats. There were many positives that came out of this game. Spurrier has already announced Smelley as the starter next week. He looked very poised in the pocket yesterday. I believe Spurrier is now officially sick of Mitchell. Saunders look really good catching the ball from the TE spot. He now just has to learn where the first down marker is and stretch out. The LSU defense is hell. No other way to put it. 17 net yards rushing for Carolina. I cannot even rmember the last time Carolina could not run the ball.

This Carolina team showed their conditioning yesterday, and their refusal to quit. That could carry them a long way this season. I still say no one goes undefeated this year in the SEC, and it was a good time against a great team to lose. This will show this team their is no one left on their schedule they cannot play. Carolina fans, pick your heads up, and realize how exciting the rest of the season can be.

Once again LSU, congrats on the win. You have one helluva team, and the fake field goal was priceless. Even drew a smile from the HBC. :smile:

SS going with Smelley is a good move. i was never enamored with mitchell. and i'm sure SS is sick of his antics as well

[JerryBeeds]

No doubt about it. I also think that Mike Davis should get more carries. Boyd couldn't do anything yesterday. The few times that Davis got the ball, good things happened.

davis rushed 4 times for 10 yards...he wasn't that much better than boyd. besides they had to throw the ball in the second half and smelley showed he could do that more effectively than mitchell.

I know his stats weren't that impressive but he didn't go down in the backfield every time like Boyd did.

both were effective catching the ball out the backfield. it seemed every time we blitzed on third down, SS ran that underneath route to perfection

[scfan5338]

Yeah, I dont think the players for USC were able to exploit the cracks in the LSU defense that Spurrier found. He knew that we would win the TE and RB catch plays everytime but Mitchell couldn't get the ball to them.

I agree with Beeds, when Davis got in there we were able to move the ball a little bit better. Also, I dont understand why we ran it up the middle every single time.

[Gamecocks4Ever]

If you didn't notice I was one of the VERY FEW who said good game last Saturday. I dint know where you get off spewing all this crap outta your mouth when all I said is Go Tigers. Dint talk it out on someone else just cause your getting slaughtered on the field. You need to go ahead and get over this loss yourself. I dont know about any other dawg fans but im over the SC loss. In fact I really dont care........

Intercepted. You guys aren't nearly as good as you claim to be, Cocks.

Notice something in common about the two trash talkers? Looking at LSU's schedule, there are two interesting teams missing. I will thoroughly enjoy myself if UGA or UT actually wins the east. Then, they can go to Atlanta, and get B*$%Hslapped for 60 min, and show these guys that we don't suck just because we're getting beaten by LSU. If anything, LSU fans should take those comments as an insult.

As for the comments about LSU not trying and all but letting us score at the end, I highly doubt that. I think a defense that had giving up 7 pts. in three games would have a little more pride than that. Besides, no matter what you say, college football is all about style points. Even though I do believe SC was overrated, it would have been in LSU's best interests to run up the score on #12.

[GamecockDieHard]

We're a well-conditioned team and need to be due to our lack of depth. LSU has "scrubs" that would be starting for most teams and rarely need to play the first team for all 4 quarters. I don't think LSU wasn't trying, I think they were tired.

Agreed :thumpsup:. And UGA fans think they let up ...yeah ok that was evident with the play calling of the OC. They tried to throw a fli-flicker in the 4th quarter because they wanted to run the score up, but that pass got intercepted. LSU coaches realized SC wasn't giving up and that is when they decided to stick to the run. Just because LSU didn't score 40 points ...they gave up..yeah ok and if they did that is just sad.

[Kevhugh]

As far as the Cory Boyd vs. Mike Davis argument, Spurrier agreed that Davis might need more carries in the aftergame presser. He basically said they both run hard but Davis seems to be "shiftier" and falls forward rather than backwards. I tend to agree. Giving the ball to Davis more wouldn't have mattered vs. LSU but it might later in the season. The bottom line is if we take care of business in the games vs. the SEC East we won't have to worry about losing to LSU. I know that winning out in the SEC East is a tall order that probably won't happen, but if you want to be "the" team, you have to step it up and win the games where you control your own destiny. If we want to truly take it to the next level we need to lose no more than one more SEC game. I don't really see it happening this year, but I think we're still closer than we have been in a long while.

That is the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard. They have the number one defense, kept their starters in, and with the kind of stats they have compiled, you don't 'give' anybody anything. Just like Spurrier said in his post game, LSU has a great defense and they love their stats.

If they 'gave up', then they can forget winning the SEC. You don't 'give' up in a 12 point game against Spurrier. People should think before they speak.

I think winning the SEC East will be really tough and I dont think we'll be able to win it unless we get a stable QB who can create balance for the offense and the OL learns how to block. We have one of the best recruting classes in the country for OL two years ago and hardly any of them are stepping up. I dont know what it is about USC but we bring in great players every year but most of them never live up to their expectations. That goes on the coaches and the players. If we want to win the east we have to be able to stop the run and throw the ball, two things we suck at right now.

Chris Smelley is a 4.0 kid who is smart and well spoken. He was also EXTREMELY poised in the LSU game Saturday. He will light a spark under this offense. Spurrier is finally fed up with the BS that is Blake Mitchell.

[Hungryneck]

davis rushed 4 times for 10 yards...he wasn't that much better than boyd. besides they had to throw the ball in the second half and smelley showed he could do that more effectively than mitchell.

That stat is misleading. One of his carries was for a one yard touchdown. He wasn't touched by LSU's defense and would have scored from 10 yds out.

I though he looked very shaky in the LSU game. Several throws that should have been intercepted but weren't, bad form - nose of the ball up, throwing of the back foot. Plus the actual interception.

Chris Smelley played better than Blake Mitchell in the game and it seems like Mitchell's confidence is at an all time low. Mitchell doesn't trust himself or the receivers (which he probably shouldnt) so as of right not, I'd say Smelley gives us the best chance to win against MSU.

Thank you. Chris takes his drops, and releases the ball. He doesn't stand there with his thumb up his tail till he gets hit. He loves the opportunity, and actually cares about getting better. I don't know if you saw Mitchell's comments after the game, but it made me sick. The kid does not care.

[GTTiger]

One thing you might want to take into consideration with Smelley is that LSU prepared thier game plan for Mitchell. Every QB that has started against LSU hasn't finished, and all of the back ups have seemed to be the better options in the games.

Carolina runs the same plays and plan, regardless who is under center. I just noticed Smelley is number 10 in the SEC in total offense in 2 games, while Mitchell is number 17 with 3 games to his credit. Hmmmmm. Makes ya wonder doesn't it?
