5 Reasons Why I Won’t Watch the Game This Saturday
- I am so frustrated with our loss to Alabama that I don’t think I’ve wound down enough to watch another LSU football game.
- Almost no matter what happens, LSU is once again kicked out of playoff contention by Alabama. If this truly was the year that we should’ve finally gone all the way, why shouldn’t I give up?
- From here on out, there is nothing on our schedule that could help us or hurt us because Alabama already clinched the SEC West.
- Even if we play phenomenal, we still know that we’re only the No. 2 team in the SEC West. We can’t prove anything anymore.
- It feels like a natural ending to the season.
5 Reasons Why I WILL Watch the Game This Saturday
- I’ve always watched LSU play no matter the weather. We have to stay loyal.
- I have to learn to put this loss behind me because we can still do great things with this season. If we win out, a sugar bowl and an 11-win season could be on the horizon.
- We just can’t give up on this strong of an LSU team that could remain intact next year. I’ve gone seven years without giving up on an LSU team and I have to remain confident about next year.
- We can continue to assert our dominance over the SEC West with road wins over Arkansas and Texas A&M. I’m genuinely excited to see LSU truly angry.
- We need to take all the control we still have after a devastating loss. We can’t let Alabama control our destiny. If we let Alabama be a dream-breaker we’ll break a lot of other dreams too (Sugar Bowl).
Cheers to our first New Year’s Six Bowl since 2011!
GEAUX TIGERS!
Micah – I’ve been a big fan of yours since I was made aware of your blog. You continue to get better and better with your analysis of the games. I especially like today’s one about the 5 reasons to, or not to, watch the game at Arkansas. Great job! Like you, I believe the Tigers still have a phenomenal season in front of them! GEAUX TIGERS!
I watched the ARK game tonight and was happy the Tigers won, but it left me upset anyway. I have to ask, what was all that idiocy at the end of the game. First, going for 4th and 2 on the 20 yard line with 5 minutes left when you could kick a easy field goal with a guy who hasn’t missed inside the 40 all year and make it 3 scores; say WHAT???
Then at the end you either run out the clock by taking a knee (not handing off) or you go ahead and trot into the end zone (if presented, which it was) to add to the point total; even though I saw it with my own eyes, I could not believe the running back actually laid down, not once, but twice. We did not lose, but we could have if ARK would have gotten the ball back. Last rant, they have to coach these players not to do the sass talk after plays. It only makes the player appear to have no class, and they are throwing the flag for that, and rightfully so. Idiotic dead ball penalties could make a difference in a tight game – it almost did tonight.
