Thoughts On the Vandy / Lsu Game- The Day After

Well there was improvement. One thing LSU fans need to recall that this is not our Grandfather's Vanderbilt. I think my thoughts are summed up well by Carl Dubois excellent read at Column: Rain bad, 2-0 good, but still lots to learn

As he states as to Vanderbilt

So, LSU defeated Vanderbilt 23-9 last night. It was the kind of game that teaches you little more than what your team is made of on the inside, what kind of things happen in your players' heads when things don't come easily to them. On some level it's like playing baseball in the rain: You don't learn anything. You survive and get to the next game.

On some other level that's what playing Vanderbilt usually means. The Commodores, by and large for quite some time now, hang around, make you fidget and go into the fourth quarter with a chance for a big SEC upset -- only to see it wash away. It's a credit to Bobby Johnson, a solid coach and a classy gentleman, he's never turned into Tom Hanks on that self-made life raft in "Cast Away," shouting "Willlllllsonnnnnnnnnnnn" before breaking down and sobbing after the volleyball drifts away from him forever. It's more rare this decade to blow out Vanderbilt from start to finish than it is to simply outlast the pesky Commodores.

So, there's that fact. Don't leave this weekend behind without it. .....................................

Good read see the whole thing.

LSU fans better prepare themselves for the fact that this week we might not be facing our Grandfather's USL (now University of Louisiana- Lafayette) either. That upset they had against Kansas State last night was significant. Further in a game that went under the radar last year they gave quite a game to South Carolina.

So LSU fans need to get into out of their heads that unless we match the devastating almost obscene amounts of points against them it is a sign of failure.

I shall be talking about the Evil Catholics of ULL shortley in another posts :) .
