gr82b4au 5,568 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 This is something that I have noticed for years. When LSU plays a good opponent and are on the ropes, like the last 3 games against AU, you see defensive players fake injuries and lay on the field because they are tired. They go off the field and then 2 plays later they are right back in the game. Maybe if it happens one or twice it would seem like coincidence. This happens over and over, year after year. They did it again Saturday night against Texas. I started laughing. Afterwards my brother (who was at the game) texted me and ask if this is normal for LSU. I told the Yes - in big games they are taught to fake injuries so that they can catch their breath and slow down the opposing offenses. Bad sportsmanship but it works like a charm.They are masters at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKEEL75 2,566 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I don't really agree with it, but I also don't see it as a big problem. Anyone who has ever played or coached knows that injuries are more likely the more tired you get. Therefore, if a player is too exhausted to continue then drop and get the official timeout so you can get off the field. I understand that it hoses the O's rhythm but that is also part of the game now. How do you disrupt an O that is starting to get on a roll?

I don't see other teams doing this. We don't do it. Maybe this is what we needed to do when uat dropped the hammer on us last year... or against uga.... lay on the field and catch our breath. It seems to work and it is not against the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin149 391 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Easy fix would be to disallow that player to return to the game until a change of possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU80cruiser 1,102 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I was listening to the game and the LSU guys were calling the Texas fans classless because they booed every time an LSU guy went down. It was every freakn play....somebody went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,110 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 The one thing I always think of was in 2013 I believe in the UGA game a UGA player was trying to get off the field and the coaches put their hands up to say "stop" and then told him to lay down. At least hide the fact a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I am pretty sure we did it too with Swain in the endzone. So I suppose we can't be all that upset then. Edit: @Tiger beat me to it!

GwillMac6 20,666 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 LSU did it a ton last year and the year before. Coach O has really upped the fake injury module to try and curtail the opposing teams momentum. Hey it worked both years vs us when we should of won..............

3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Bwahahaha...I am pretty mild mannered, until kickoff. One time, the opposing team was doing this kind of stuff, so I started booing them. Anyway, somebody really got hurt and I just assumed they were faking it, so I started booing. My daughter was horrified!!! I felt bad about it later, but I was in the moment. I watch a little more carefully these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of them in that they do have some good fans, but when the heavy booze gets flowing at Tiger Stadium, you have to be careful in many ways. I have been there and done that. I was at the game when we beat them 41-7 on Tubs first season and was treated very badly and got up and left and listened to the 2nd half on radio. Another occasion was when beat them in the 90s when Craig was our QB. Was cursed at by kids and their parents laughing at this. I stayed the game and endured to the end and told them a good hard fought game. They did not know what to say. Maybe they realized that Auburn fans as a whole have some of the best class in the SEC. Sure we have some rough fans, but as a whole we are a good bunch of hard nosed fans but have a class that comes from being an Auburn man or Lady and this I will be proud of till the day I am Auburn dead!

GF looked at me and goes and that's where you got your grad degree from right in the Texas section. I was like wow... that bourbon just hit.. need anything from the concession stand?

doc4aday 1,887 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Gus??? Why did you not put Gatwood in and let him make the first down on the 4th down play? That is what Joey is great at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful, somebody's going to swoop in here and tell you that LSU fans are the best in the world and that you must have done something to piss them off and it's your fault and you just don't get them. Every fan base has a few bad apples, none of that's true because I had some great gumbo in Red Stick one time, blah blah blah. I promise this will be the conversation LSU week.
