Too funny! LSU players claiming the heat in FL made them lose game.

Wow, I didn't know Florida was hotter and more humid than Louisiana!

Climatically, there is little difference between north Florida and south Louisiana. They should be used to that.

As an aside, give me 30 degrees and snow over 90s and mid 70s dewpoints any day. The interior deep south is miserable, even in late summer.

I hate when teams use weather as an excuse whether it be heat, cold, rain or snow; both teams have to play in it and deal with it.

I didn't know Al Gore was a volunteer coach for the Tigers

@BUCKS43201 - You could say that he found the heat's effect on performance, "An inconvenient truth?"

Interesting Note : The grass in Florida also tastes different than in Louisiana.

So what was there excuse for looking so bad against Auburn on Sept 22nd when it was 70 degrees at kickoff with very little humidity?

Face it LSU: Your lack of offense has been exposed, and your defense - while very talented - only looks "elite" against gimmick offenses. The minute they run into a team with a decent power running game and a serviceable QB, they look mortal (see: 1st half against UGa last year, Alabama in the BCSCG, and Florida this year). I've said it before and I'll say it again, Wisconsin would have put up 30 points on them last year (whether or not the Badgers could have stopped LSU from scoring is a different story). They'll probably beat South Carolina, because despite having Lattimore, the offense is still somewhat of a gimmick and Shaw doesn't have the arm or accuracy to challenge LSU. But they'll lose to Alabama, then go to the CapOne Bowl and look great against the Big Ten's 4th or 5th best team (thanks to two ineligible programs).

The Hu-mid-a-tay is too damn high!

4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off

This is like the Packers saying "we lost because of the snow" or the Broncos saying "we lost because of the high elevation."

Class of 2010.

So THAT'S why we've lost to LSU in the title game back in the day! Now it all makes more sense. Lol.

Well then, come up here and play us in November you mamby pansies.

In their defense, it wasn't any old heat, it was ESSS EEEE CEEE heat.

I hear the heat moves faster down there

O H I O is the Buckeye State

Spencer Ware might have an excuse, he's from Cincinnati. South Louisiana is without a doubt the hottest place I've ever lived in the States. Summertime is a mixture of heat and high humidity thats almost unbearable. Worst excuse ever.
