LSU Letdown

So, my Tigers lost last night. I'm taking it harder than I thought I would. I DO live in the middle of Bama country...and the excitement of their win is smack dab in my face. I'm happy for Bama fans, don't get me wrong. I know losing for us was a possibility. But last night I didn't recognize our team. Had they played like they did in the BCS game during regular season, I would have not built up the real possibility of a win last night. But I was shocked. The very first drive I thought maybe it was nerves. But it became evident play after play that either nerves or lack of skill was getting the best of my Tigers. Entering the half, our Tigers had only one first down. It was then that I realized we could not win the game unless something really changed in the next half. I was pretty confident the first change would be sitting Jefferson down and putting Lee in. Lee had played a huge part in our undefeated season. He deserved a shot at the National Championship. After the half, Lee was not put in. In fact, he was not put in for a single play! Jason told me not to be upset, and to just have fun watching the game. I honestly was NOT having fun. Fun would be watching our Tigers play their hearts out... even if they lost. But last night, I didn't see that. And I didn't see a coach willing to make changes so our team at least had a chance. No, it was not fun to watch that. It was a serious train wreck. In the end, we lost. We bled. And bled hard. But we bled those great colors PURPLE & GOLD!! I'm still proud to be a Tiger! Until next year.... GEAUX TIGERS!!!
