My hope is that the fact that LSU's offense isn't that great will make it a good defensive struggle. My feeling is that LSU's offense will suddenly become really good against Rick Minter's terrible schemes + our terrible secondary. If nothing else, it's going to be really interesting. This is really the first time Weis will have coached against a team that's somewhere in between "cruddy" and "world-beaters".
Hahahahaha, this is the most embarrassingly bad combined offensive performance by two teams I've seen since...the Bears-Pats game. C'mon Bears, if you turn this over again I'm just going to be unhappy.
Tressel abstained from voting. BRILLIANT move to not give the No. 2 team bulletin board material in the event it wouldn't have been the No. 2 team Tressel voted for. Ingenious really.
didn't hurt the Houston Astros of the mid 90's. Cubs hitters were significantly better v. righthanders last year anyway. hitting lefties was a big problem, a fact that more left handed hitters would not address. It is still not a good idea. Specially with all the right-handed closers in the league. You need some threat from the left side of the plate. Lefty power is not available for any reasonable price this offseason. The Cubs have to play the hand they're dealt.
