What are trying to do, lose your Nega-Tiger status?

Les Miles cost us the Bama game, the SEC West, an SEC CG game appearance, and a possible BCSNC by going super conservative against Bama, going away from what worked, and making a bunch of really stupid coaching decisions. Is that better?

That said, we are lucky to be sitting at 9-2 with two point wins against Auburn and South Carolina, a 5 point win against Texas A&M and a 6 point win against Ole Miss. And, I think that coaching goes a long way to making your own luck.

If someone told us that we'd lose our starting LBs against Florida plus have a bandaid of an offense line this year with freshman, most would think we'd lose at least 2, maybe closer to 4. Miles deserves credit for not letting that happen.

Clearly he made some bad calls, but somebody came up with a pretty good game plan in the first place to put the team in position to win. He can't take all the blame and get none of the credit... unless you're a negatiger... never mind.

Before the Bama game if I would have told we would lose by 4 you would have taken it. If I would have told we would be down by 11 at the half you would have said game over.

Miles did a heck of a job in preparing the team for that game. He and his staff should be given lots of credit for having this team at 9-2. Other teams, Arkansas, folded up the tents and gave up.

Yeah, he should have known the Chavis D would allow Alabama to go 75 yards in 50 seconds to take that game after they had gained only 50 yards in the whole second half before their final drive.

You have to consider this though, to be a reality Tiger.

Two of those could easily have been losses and the Rant would be in a meltdown instead of whacking off to silly Les Miles presser gifs.

Agree with this, the injury situation was brutal as was losing TM7, and he did a good job of trying to manage that.

This has been a strange year, but you have to take the good with the bad, you can't just look at one or the other.
