I hope all these things are getting pasted on the walls around the athletic facilities.

Oh ----- this is getting good.......

 

[jthomas666]

Oh yes, LSU definitely wants our WRs showing up with a chip on their shoulders...

I fully expect Bama to defeat LSU, and the Tide players won't need bulletin board material from Ed O. to provide their motivation.

That sort of thing is almost always forgotten once play begins and has zero factor in the outcome of the game.

Then why do some players mention such things in post-game interviews?

I don't know. Maybe they like to hear themselves talk? :wink:

Some day LSU is going to have to either stay quiet or back up their talk. Seems like every year now you expect at least 1 LSU player/coach to say something coming into this game. This year its a bit louder.

I can think of several examples of bulletin board stuff that made Alabama mad with one being the Vandy player a couple of years ago. No offense but your statement is not correct.

No, I think they use it as internal motivation. I know I've had some of them tell me that and I don't think they were saying it to hear themselves talk. It's just human nature. You're entitled to your opinion, which I'd guess is cast in stone...

Thanks for posting that. No one in the country has receivers like Alabama. They are the difference between being a good team, and a team that cannot be stopped.

I don't disagree that certain statements by an opposing player or coach can get a player(s) riled up. I just don't happen to believe that getting mad makes one play better. In fact, I think the opposite is more often true. Just my opinion and I could certainly be wrong.

It's quite obvious from that video that what EO says is true.

I don't think its about getting riled up during the game. I think its about extra motivation during the week which helps you do the work necessary to be your best for the game. But i too could be wrong

Well, it does appear to me their receivers are pretty good, and they are the only group I’ve seen that seems comparable to ours.

This is one of those times -- where it's better to let it go...... just saying!

From living in Louisiana, I found that one does not have to hunt particularly hard to find those with an overabundance of confidence when it comes to LSU football. That`s even in pretty bad times. Let them win a couple of ball games.....unbelievably insufferable. They`ve never been to the heights with enough frequency or staying power to learn how to handle it with some semblance of grace. Coach Bryant`s " Act like you`ve been there before " is an alien concept!

The question is, is can we stop their big 2 receivers?

And, can they stop our 4?

"Getting mad" has absolutely nothing to do with it. I'm a former (younger) distance runner. I used all sorts of internalized motivations, just like football players do...
