I was a little angry at first, but it definitely seems that since O took over, he's knows a little something about he perfect amount of time needed to prep a football team.

The Tigers came out looking not only prepared, but energetic and loose. I'll be damned.

Honestly the thing most frustrating to me about Miles was the last few years the team just came out flat far too often. You could tell at the beginning of the game it was gonna be a shite show cause the team just didn't look in it. Hasn't happened with O yet and seems like he won't let it happen.

Not mad. While the team looked good yesterday, I don't think you can convince me that we shouldn't use every practice for the backups and red shirts to get extra reps. Being a head coach requires planing every moment for years in advance. Skipping 3 practices to have fresh legs for a meaningless bowl game can be shortsighted.

But it is good for the SEC


I have asked many times, but have never received an answer.

Explain to me how an SEC National Championship by a team other than LSU directly contributes to LSU victories in the future.

I cannot see it but some seem to believe that. PLEASE EXPLAIN IT SO THAT EVEN I CAN UNDERSTAND IT!!!

Look, whatever reservations anyone has about Orgeron(myself included), the man obviously has his finger on his team's pulse.

I read an article that said 2 NFL scouts said LSU's practices were some of the most well managed and productive that they had ever seen at the NCAA level. I'm not sure of the reason for the canceled practices, but I doubt there wasn't sound reasoning behind it. We trounced a good team yesterday so I think the overall plan for bowl season was a good one.

Can I ask a question without offense? Why would this make you mad? The reason I'm asking is I could definitely see getting mad at this if we looked unprepared in the game, but why get mad before the result?

Only the lunatics that hate Coach O with a passion are pissed off because they hunt for things to vilify Coach O with to show everybody how far more superior they are relative to Coach O's supporters.

What would be accomplished in those three practices that won't happen during spring?

Like him or not, Pete Carroll is a good mentor for him and that defense was as nasty as the Seahawks yesterday. They're on to something. Les Miles practiced so much they'd leave the game on the practice field

They weren't flat. They just didn't execute.

complete mismanagement. no sane coach in history will not use practice. it doesnt have to be physical..it can be just players meeting, coaches getting together.

Why would anyone be mad about how many times we practiced to begin with?
