(I know they will!) Nothing gets my blood pumping like hearing the crowd roar after the hype video of the first game Fans really can make a difference in home SEC games. Love this team, and I'm super excited! Fingers crossed for our guys to stay healthy!! I get SO annoyed at how quiet the stadium can get - especially when the games are somewhat close. I am that annoying fan who stands up if the ball heads my way (used to be the whole game, but decided that wasn't respectful when I moved out of the student section) and makes NOISE when we are on defense. I know we've had a few lackluster years, but could never wrap my head around why others wouldn't rock the stadium with me. We didn't get tickets until 2011 so I would have loved to seen the stadium in 2010! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't get tickets until 2011 so I would have loved to seen the stadium in 2010! Yes, this is on point. Mississippi State 2015, Vanderbilt 2016 were recent games that were ridiculously quiet and probably played a role in the loss to MSU (and it's definitely needed vs those damn cowbells). I've sat in the student section for almost every game I've attended but even that gets quiet after the 1st quarter. Lots (certainly not all) of the Greek life sections are there as a social gathering, not to cheer. But yeah you're right, if it's 3rd down or the other team is in the red zone.. I don't want to be able to hear myself think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm starting to get confident. I never get confident. Cautiously optimistic at best but now i have a gut feeling we gonna beat the s*** out of everyone. It's not normal for me to s*** talk. This is gonna be really good or really bad for me.

johnnyAU 3,634 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 It got quiet at times last year vs Clemson, but that was because both sides were equally bewildered and each left the game almost speechless and saddened at what we had just witnessed. (I do not expect a repeat of that performance this season though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be the receiver of choice for Stidham when things break down. I actually think we can beat LSU because it seems their QB situation has not improved from what I hear. It will be like last year: stop their RB and you win the game. There has been questions about their o-line and wr's too. I still wouldn't take them lightly.

WFE12 9,191 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 4 hours ago, Gowebb11 said: Ole Miss can be dangerous for three reasons in my humble opinion. One, they have a really good QB throwing to some freak receivers. Two, teams may be prone to take them lightly because of what might happen to them down the road. Right now, they still have a solid SEC roster. And three, Matt Luke is playing with house money. He will be able to take big risks in big games. Exactly Shea Patterson looks like a Johnny Manziel clone...It's weird. Their receivers are big and athletic and they got nothing to lose. Very dangerous.

WFE12 9,191 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Not every team will be the same as last year's obviously. It will be interesting to see what happens when the contenders and pretenders are weeded out. That's why CFB is the best sport, lots of surprises. Can't wait til Sept. 2nd.

corchjay 5,311 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 One burning question. Who brings the fire? Who is the leader that grabs someone by the face mask and makes them dig deeper then they thought? Who plays nasty with reckless abandon laying their body on the line every play? Those positions are as important to a team as who is the left guard or strong side DE or punter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I'll buy into the ideas LSU has the athletes to beat anybody and Matt Canada is a promisng young coach, but not getting all this love for him as LSU's latest OC. His claims to fame are Pitt, N.C & Wisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His claims to fame are Pitt, N.C & Wisco. I'm with you. They are a giant question mark at QB with one guy we know is nothing special and some freshmen, they are breaking in a new offense, which is extra hard without a solid leader at QB, and their defensive leader may be out for a while. I see them surprising a couple of teams, early, but once coordinators have film, I don't see them being the threat that many are expecting. I certainly can't think of a reason they would be much better than last year, and I can think of at least 3 reasons we will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
