Got midway through the second page of replies and can safely say that this thread is a great example of why the rant is largely unreadable.
Why are there so many miserable assholes on this board?

i am a very happy guy. very lucky in my life.
tiger f@g knows nothing about physical training. if miles wants 2 a day practices, i would trust that he has a plan. he wants a certain portion of practice to be brutal. then throttle back in the days leading up to game time. you do not trust that coach has a plan. simple as that.
tear down, allow to recover. then repeat. didnt do much athletically? or just didnt pay attention?

While you may be right, you are right for the wrong reason with this post. The OP was edited. A rough paraphrase of what was taken out is I know the teams starting early aren't cheating so why are we intentionally putting ourselves at a disadvantage by starting later?
Those 2nd page posts were justified. It's generally not the what they ask that gets people in trouble, but the how they ask it that reveals their ugly character that does.

This. He came across as a dumbass and deserved to be made fun of.
People need to quit starting so many stupid threads.

So of you phrase something a certain way you "deserve" for people to just go crazy on you? K

1. See news item
2. Don't search for further information, important facts, other threads
3. Apply no critical thinking to understand possible scenarios
4. Start thread on Rant implying news is due to mass incompetence by coaching staff/athletic dept
Then, yes, you deserve it...

We are just that good!! We don't need the extra practice! Good enough??

I can't wait to see our basketball team start practice. That is all!

If what Geaux Tahel posted is correct. Miles doesn't have the option of two-a-day practices involving the same players. There is a difference between two-a-day and split. See rule below:
What makes you think I know nothing about physical training?

Stating the number of practice sessions don't answer the question of why the decision was made to start practice later
You count back 40 units from the date of the first game. One unit for days when classes are in session and two units for days when they aren't. The simple answer is that teams who have already started begin classes before LSU.

According to the NCAA 2010-2011 Division I Manual, the first official preseason practice may not take place before the date that allows the maximum of 40 units before the first scheduled intercollegiate game. Schools calculate the 40 units by counting backward from the first scheduled game, with each day representing one or two units as outlined in the NCAA manual. Schools may not have more than 29 on-field practice sessions during preseason. The NCAA limits colleges in the Bowl Subdivision to 105 student-athletes who may practice before the first day of classes or first game, and colleges in the Championship Subdivision to 90 student-athletes. All schools must respect a five-day acclimatization period at the start of the preseason. During this time, athletes may engage in no more than one conditioning, speed, strength or agility test or one on-field practice per day of no more than three hours and one walk-through without gear. There must be a three hour recovery period between practice and a walk-through. During the first two days, only helmets may be worn. On days three and four, helmets and shoulder pads are allowed. From day five onward, full pads are allowed. Multiple practice sessions per day may not occur on consecutive days, and student-athletes must be allowed at least three hours of recovery between sessions. On single-session days, no more than three hours-on field is allowed, and on multiple-session days, no more than five hours on-field is allowed.
How does our multiple sessions early in camp count toward the total of allowed practices? (e.g. Miles likes to have the Vets in the morning and incoming players in the afternoon). Does this count as 1 practice as long as the personnel are completely different or does this still count as 2 practices?

counts as 2

That's what I thought. So I guess Miles feels that the reps with fewer players are worth burning an extra practice? Has he ever commented on the thought process there?
ETA: Is this split practice also common with other teams?

It is due to the 5 day acclimation period in which players can not go through two a days. Doing it this way allows for the same number of reps as the "old days" prior to the new rule.
On day 1 of practice you may have had two practices with the whole team and each player got x number of reps on the day...and you used two of your allowed practices.
Now you use two of your allowed practices, players get the same number of reps on the day because of the smaller number of players at practice, and no one practices more than once.
We also began doing this prior to Miles, when the acclimation rule went into effect.

yes, says that the couple days allow the young guys to get more reps, and get acclimated to the pace of practice and what is expected of them. It's just 2 or 3 days, don't remember. The vets get more work in the other session since the coaches aren't spending extra time with the incoming players.

don't know, don't care

cause you picked a rule that only applies to the first 5 days.
That, and your OP are the reasons you are rightfully perceived as a dumbass.

Good chance those teams beat us by 1 play, and it will be a play they practiced on Friday when LSU was at home.
