Dustin and Jacob, was that LSU's flat game last night? They just did not look very good on offense at all against a defense that has not been real good, and that's being charitable. I was surprised that they didn't line up and run at them a good bit more than they did.
The rivalry and the crowd really got the Plainsmen going last night coupled with a Defensive scheme that had the Tiger's O Line playing on their heels. Our O line without Faulk looked suspect.
I'll take the sloppy win.
Where do we go without great leaders for the defense of our liberties? Who will defend our right to live our lives _as we chose_ without others taking that from us? The answer is, as it should be, no one. We are the defense of our rights and should always remember that. Libertarian blogger
Make no mistake that I wasn't exactly thrilled with the performance last night. They played sloppy, uninspired, and with a complete lack of composure. That being said, "Just win baby." You don't have to be the best team in the country each weekend. You just have to be the best team in the stadium. It was an ugly win, but SC & OU would certainly love to say they're 4-0. In a long season, you have to win games when you play C-/D ball. Obviously Josh D is a scrub when compared to Chris Faulk. It might not be The Iron Bowl, but there is a lot of bad blood between LSU & AU. I think the penalties were an extension of that. Of course it was also a lack of discipline. LSU was gladly to oblige in doing everything it would take to keep AU in the game. All that withstanding, it's a win on the road & I'll take it. The numbers won't reflect it, but Mett played very well. We should have ran the ball with Mike Ford & Spencer Ware more. The play calling was terrible. The WRs dropped too many balls. Heck, our stellar special teams even played bad. So basically what I'm saying is I think LSU played as badly as it could possibly play. If you want to drop them a few spots in the polls because of it, I have no issue with it. In the end, it all boils down to winning. Slingblade talked about clearing up the issues and for once I believe he will get into the players.
LSU will get taken apart by Bama and by UF. The beatdown they got in MNC game last season will be nothing compared to what the Tide will do to them this year.
You had it half right

Do you try to be this dumb or is it something that comes natural with you?
This year and probably the next 3-4, yes, they're in for a beating. I do think that being in the SEC will attract a slightly higher level of new talent though, so in the next 5+ years, I see Missouri becoming a real contender. As a student here, I have to say being in a bigger pond is a lot of fun when it comes to tailgating!

We'll hold you to your words
Similar thing happen last year.
Last year LSU's first SEC opponent was AWAY @ Miss St. and they came out of there 19-6. LSU went on to play for the SHIP.
So hopefully that is the flat game. Who knows man, lots of Freshman on the team(lots!), NONE of which has ever played in a SEC Hostile Environment. It can be a lot to soak in, most people have no clue what kind of pressure that is.
Florida will be the make or break game IMO. Florida sits at home for the next two weeks waiting on LSU to arrive.
If LSU can beat Florida @ home off their bye week, I think that will say a lot about where this team will go for the rest of the season, if any where at all.
