[OLS]

Oh, my feathers aren't ruffled. This is one of the toughest threads in CA, it's just a real intense
subject with really deep 'feelings' regarding area teams. I do not take anything anyone says
in a bad light, because I am one of the only LSU fans on the board...I get beat on a lot. And if
I have no alternative but to take it, I do. But when I think I have a reasonable argument,
I argue. I can agree with people who say that we are the worst 5-0 team in the country, but I do
not agree that we should be 0-5, or something rash like that. LSU fought and clawed back from
a raft of mistakes by the players with good coahing and horrible, sloppy coaching mistakes with
player heart. They earned their record, no matter how sloppily they did it.

Let's look at another argument. LSU barely beat bad teams. I think that is untrue. In TN, people
know that this team is talented and scrappy and better than their record indicates. They are
just unorganized and as poorly coached as the Tigers.
UNC I think was depleted, sure, but their second stringers played their hearts out, and not all
the suspeded kids failed to play, in fact some serious hitters played but did not "start". I have
no real knowledge about how the UWV game went or where they stood, but UWV is no perennial
slouch. A lot of teams in the NCAA play cream puffs for 3-5 weeks before getting to the meat
of their schedules. LSU plays top teams right out of the gate. So at this point in the season
I am not embarassed by LSU's standing in the league. They could have played any of those
teams and lost. (And LSU plays some cream puffs, just later.)

Don't pay any mind to me, I just pull doggedly for my team and poke the other team's in
the eye. Sometimes the fans get in the way. And I mean no harm to them. I just analyze
the facts I have, ignore the facts I don't, and pass ruthless judgement, lol.
