Caping for LSU getting to play all their home games at night. Weak. This used to be a proper conference.
2022 Georgia got 0 home SEC night games. I guess nO oNe WaNtEd To WaTcH tHeM iN pRiMeTiMe. Meanwhile, LSU has played over 80% of its home games at night since 2000.
Y’all only had one last year (against us). When one team automatically gets night games, it fucks everything else up. Georgia should really be leading the charge on this.
everything youre saying I agree with but on the Georgia side of things, we prefer 3:30, and have reasons for not lobbying for night games. So we are not a good case study of team being burned by LSU whining.
Not sure if you really think head to head means you have to rank one team over another or if you're just making fun of us for losing to Vandy, as you should, or both.
Well yeah when the first pick every week back then by the networks was 3:30 that Georgia team wasn't going to play at night. This year with the first pick usually being the 7:30 ABC game you've had Georgia playing at night at both Bama and Texas that would have both been 3:30 last year.
2019 LSU played one SEC home day game (2 total home day games). CBS always used their “double header” games for an LSU night game under the old deal.
They want their state legislature to make day games illegal. https://www.nola.com/sports/lsu/tig...cle_bb6c60b2-819d-11ef-95ef-cf2fa649e1cb.html If it were actually about the quality of the team it would be one thing, but it’s not. They get preferential treatment because they’re babies about it.
I understand the concept of Power Rankings. Thank you. However we've seen almost no sign of Bama improving since losing to Vandy, while Vandy continues to play well. My point remains.
My hope for each of you is that you find a cause you believe in even half as much as wes tegg cares about what time LSU home games start
Hand up. I’m legitimately enraged that a fanbase can be so soft that it tries to pass a law to keep from having to be hot at a football game.
-Alabama's best wins are : UGA, @ Wisconsin, South Carolina, Missouri. So really, after UGA none of Alabama's wins are all that impressive. They have 2 losses including @ Vandy. Their worse loss is @ Vandy. -Vandy has the head to head win vs Bama which counts for a lot. Their next best wins after Bama are Virginia Tech and then I guess a 3-5 Kentucky team? They have more losses than Bama (3 versus 2 ) and they have a terrible loss to Georgia State. Alabama's only other loss is against #7 Tennessee. -So Alabama has better wins and Vandy has worse losses . Vandy has the head to head win. I think you can make a good faith argument for Vandy to be ranked ahead based on the head to head win alone, but it's not super convincing when you look at the evidence as a whole.
I guess it's my turn to flippantly ask if you know what Power Rankings are? It's not a resume alone, it's who would win today if they played. Resume plays into it sure. But Vandy losing in the 2nd week of the season doesnt mean a whole lot. As I said- Vandy Beat Bama just 3 weeks ago. Since then, Bama hasnt really shown any improvement. While Vandy has continued to play well and show that game wasnt a fluke.
They did. Against a team down starting QB, RB RG, LB, and DE. As well as several others on the 2 deep But MIlroe was missing all the same throws, and making all the same poor reads he has the past several weeks. The bama thread was raging about it, until it didnt really matter after 3 consecutive intercepts. Honestly Im glad Missouri is ranked because hey that's fun, but they shouldnt be. Esp if Cook is out of the year.
Im a believer in Drink in the long run, but the way he has mishandled the QB room over the course of this term is a black mark. Which I acknowledge is a big black mark. But I think we'll be ok in the long run.
I will slightly defend him that this year was a some bad luck. The back up QB blew out his arm and needed surgery in the spring. So they had to scramble.
The LSU night game thing is absurd! night games are the best and should be distributed evenly to good matchups. LSU fans act like they are the only people on earth who drink and yell at football games. give me a fucking break!
What's wrong with your offense this year? IDK what you're missing besides that RB from last year, but it seems your O this year is fucking cheeks
It feels like all the outside eyes say it's because of Schrader, but it's really not. It's just not in sync. The running game has actually been pretty decent for the most part. The offense had actually been pretty efficient, but had absolutely no big plays. Theyve been able to dink and dunk down the field. Pass Pro has been a little worse this year. Honestly it just feels like Cook played out of his mind last year, and is regressing back to the mean this year. But now that he's injured who knows. Pretty much everyone has fallen off just a little bit. The OL, The WRs and the QB. Play calling has been strange at times too. It's all been really hard to put a finger on exactly what is going wrong
I had a late morning and got Vandy and UK confused in this conversation. But we can still all laugh at Auburn, right?
I thought it was generally accepted that power rankings are a snapshot of teams' overall strengths and trajectories, taking into account recent performances, underlying stats, and trends. Head to head records can factor into a power ranking but a power ranking is not necessarily asking who would win if they played today.
Even though Truman is being a cunt about things, I think he's making legitimate points here. You could make a strong case that Bama hasn't improved much since the Vandy game. And it really started in the 2nd half of the UGA game. You've got a bad Vandy loss where the defense was horrendous, a narrow escape against South Carolina where the offense was mediocre at best and the defense gave up some huge drives and TDs, a game against Tennessee where the offense was catastrophically bad, and then a game against Missouri where Missouri's offense was D2 level bad so you really can't draw many conclusions. In the mean time Vandy has continued to play well. However, you also could argue that the Bama defense has improved since the Vandy loss if you consider they mostly played well against South Carolina sans a few drives and got much better pressure on the QB, they played well in some respects against Tennessee in that they shut them out at half time and Tennessee only scored 24 points at home, and then they shut out Missouri . And you could argue that the Alabama's offense found it's footing in running for 271 yards against Missouri in addition to Milroe looking improved and more confident compared to the Tennessee game.
