The Tigers entered the first weekend of the season ranked No. 6 in the Amway Coaches Poll and No. 5 according to the Associated Press, even earning a first-place vote in the latter.

LSU? Only if defense alone wins championships, which in this day and age of college football is as antiquated a notion as, say, the idea that you can use roughly the same offensive system as a decade ago and expect to find anything close to similar results.

So what is LSU in 2016? The same as LSU of 2014 and 2015 — it looks like a team that does nothing with one of the most talented rosters in all of college football. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it is. But don’t cry for the school or its program, which willingly elected to bring back Miles rather than change course. They wanted it; they got it.

Pumpers will be here shortly to claim LSU has the worst fanbase in college football.

NO, they did not want it, they LSU did not want Miles except that ESPNs Kirk Herbstreit shamed the athletic department and the LSU fans, mocking them for being so foolish to want another coach, stating, “be careful what you wish for?” And so due to public pressure, the athletic department caved. Yeah, well frick you Kirk Herbstreit, now we just wish we had a frickin monkey for a coach than to have to watch this same shite again and again.

I honestly don't give a frick what the media people say. These are the same assfrickers that were bitching at us last year because we wanted to fire him then. They can all go frick themselves to death with a cattle prod.

This article should be printed hundreds of times and posted in every office at LSU. F. King, Alleva, Les, sent to the governor...hell, thousands of copies should litter TS.

You young punks with your video games and your new fangled offenses. I'll burn it to the ground before I admit the toss dive is not the centerpiece of an offense! Give me good old fashioned three yards and a cloud of dust any day! The motor is still good!

You'll see! You'll all see!

The transmission (coaching, creative play calling) is missing 4 of 5 gears. The tires (fundamentals discipline) are bald.

If LSU made 3 yards every play, it would work (4 downs x 3 yards = first down). Unfortunately, we're averaging less than that.

1.8 yards per play last game, to be exact.

Herbstreit is in love with Bama period. He probably just said all that crap last year to keep Bama winning. I think he has a thing for Saban.

They gave into the fans with that bullshite pitty party last year , there is two guys that we've been sitting next to for years , so the crowd is cheering for miles like they are carrying Jesus Christ off the field and I say to guy sitting next to me for years (bashing les every other play ) , so I say good riddance and I swear with a tear rolling down his face he says " naw man we need to keep him ....WTF
