Did DAT give Stanford tackling fuel?

[TigerBait1971]

I have never said they needed the extra motivation, i only asserted that it will be seen as disrespect and used as extra motivation.

I will give you an example and its apples to oranges, but it fits here. When I played High school ball in Alabama, i played for a small (at the time) 1A type school, very small school and the team played kids both ways most of the game. We had a team we were playing that was a not even a rival that had a RB that was a beast. He looked like a man among boys and was hitting teams for almost 200 a game. Not one team had slowed him down and they had played some good teams that year already. It was in their local paper that he was on record as saying he would run wild on our team and expected the game to be a blowout.

Our coach posted this article on the bulletin board in our gym, our locker rooms for practice, our field house at the stadium and on the boards around the halls at school. On friday night we were as pumped as i can ever remember our team being. We held this kid to his season low of 72 yards on 27 carries and he didnt score all night. We lost two players in the game, one for the year with a torn shoulder muscle, but we won the game(that propelled us to a state playoff spot) and all on the strength of a few words of disrespect by an opposing player. so yes, words can be a motivating factor and used as extra motivation if done correctly Saban knows how to use this tool well. Notice LSU's fronts are all quiet this week, wonder why?

Fair enough, but in fairness, he did not say anything about scoring mega points on you or anything of that sort, all he did is exactly what you expect them to do anyway. He didnt call his shot, so to speak.

Reporter: "DeAnthony, do you think Oregon can score more than 14 points vs Stanford?"

BlackMamba: "Yeah, I think we can. We should be able to score at least 40."

Considering the team avgs 56 points.. Not that big of a deal.

Oregon is going to have to throw the ball, Cards front 7 D will have success stopping the run option, Could care less who the Ducks try to run the ball with. Couple the run D with a capable "bend but don't break" Card secondary this game smells of a goodie.



-Will Mariotta have time to let pass patterns evolve?

-Can the read option get Oregon in 3rd-n-shorts?

-Will one of the best special team coverages in the Nation allow DAT any yardage, perhaps even TOs?



T-minus 27 hours and we'll ALL know...

Not such a dumb Thread now, is it. I was ridiculed and laughed at, but look at the results for the feelings by Stanford on being Disrespected.
