re: The moment I knew we were in trouble with Les...

Me too, man. I was helping rebuild a buddy's camp listening on the radio, and at one point I asked him when was the last time we hear Scott's name called.

I tell you what, though, that game won't make a NC feel less awesome if it somehow happens next year. We've seen his best, and it was a NC. We've seen his worst, and it's been 8 wins and some frustrating games. I'm not gonna melt if that is the high/low potential for next season and the administration finds a way not to make the replacement process a cluster frick if it should hit closer or at that low point.

I don't get people calling for a losing season when we've never come close to sniffing that with Miles. I don't want mediocre seasons, but if 9 wins and top 25 is mediocre and the floor, another season with him (knowing he can and has gotten us to the top before) will not send LSU into the pit of despair that many seem to be predicting.

I've got big expectations for next year. frick feeling hopeless. I can stand temporary disappointment. I can't fathom allowing myself to be miserable for an extended period of time due to what could happen or expecting the absolute worst, and for some, expecting a result we've never seen with him.
