Is LSU Faking Injuries?

[Chechem]

How did you find us?  We've only been up and going for a few months.

I found someone talking about it on Wooly shortly after TS was restructured. I check in on both regularly, but the maturity here seems to fit my style better. I started on TS somewhere during the coaching search.

I don't remember "Bandit" on TS.  Was that your name there?
BTW, welcome.

I remember the game at BDS two years ago.  Late in the game it seemed like somebody went down every other play.  Of course they didn't stay out very long.

I have a picture saved showing three of their players down in the end zone.  Will look for it tomorrow.

Here it is

MSBAMAFAN, I think. I think Bandit was taken already and I chose that. I only posted a few times. Mostly read coaching search updates and after that used it to stay up to date on recruiting. I kind of miss that pacle, but like it here too.

Have an E-cred. I love that picture from 2 seasons ago.

Okay.  I'm in north Mississippi.

I like that band: North Mississippi Allstars.

Me too.  What a great game and great season.

The most famous example was way back in the 1950s when Notre Dame players trying to score would fall down "injured" to stop the clock at the end of a half if they were out of timeouts. Sometimes four or five at once. The NCAA then threatened anybody doing this, and we've had no real problems since. Or since LSU?

Thanks, OT.  Didn't know that.



Maybe it's just me, but I've become accustomed to seeing LSU players sprawled on the field.  They always seem to be face down and stretched out.  They don't act like soccer players and grab a knee or ankle; they just flop to the ground and lie there.  Maybe I've been imprinted by the "make their azzes quit" photo, but to me, that's LSU.  

Maybe Les is coaching that position.  Either way, it's embarrassing to have so may of your players sprawled on the field during the game.  They don't look like winners, even if it stops the clock.  They look like LOSERS.

I think it's something the SEC and NCAA should look at, it happens too often at LSU. Miles and the coaches may not instruct the players to do this but I can promise you they planted the seed in their heads on how to do it and get away with it.

It is a form of cheating and I have no idea of how it could be stopped.

[Old Tider]

When they meet Bama's defense, they may be injured for real...unfortunately.

Exactly, it is always the same position -- face down.  Maybe that is so the refs cannot see them smiling.

Maybe we could take action on this.  We should start keeping records of these occurrences, including game situation (time, yard line, down and distance, momentum, # timeouts LSU has remaining, etc), number of plays the "hurt" player remains on the sideline, etc.

When we have sufficient evidence, we submit the report to the conference office.  Better yet maybe we can get someone in the AD to submit it to the conference.
