In other words, will we play at a high level consistently or just on special occasions?

This is the question that Les Miles must answer to have any credibility going forward.

Great post.

Please repeat this early and often for the Rantards who can't think in context, but only in black and white terms.

I agree with you. Most of us know lackluster play when we see it, win or lose. This has been my complaint with Miles and the team all year. McNeese State game - we barely showed up.
Florida -- pretty good. Alabama -- fair in first half, very good in second half.

I like what I saw in the second half of the 'Bama game. If LSU can maintain that level of play, we can beat most anybody.

Why would we? These games are on the schedule to allow us to rest and recuperate from the rigors of the SEC. That game's outcome was never in question, even when we were down early.

Winning apparently is just not good enough to some of you.

Ohhh that's not nice, you hurt me so much tough guy, lol!

Bama beat Penn State at home and they started a true freshman. Speaks to the quality team they are. Keep up your antics of how great theses teams are. I hate to see your thoughts on the killer defense from TCU,

You're an idiot, a troll, or both.

So now Bama is sub par just because we beat them



Exactly. Before they lost to USCe, Bama was not only #1, but just about every media type was punching their ticket to the NC game. Not a Bama fan, but I would love to see them go 11-2 (as long as they didn't jump us.)

Playing half-assed does not please me as a fan, win or lose.

I'm not saying you fire a guy over it, but I can't pretend that I enjoy it after the fact.

Good for you. I'll enjoy winning, noting we have not lost a single game this year we shouldn't have. We also have won 2 games no one gave us any shot at, so y'all just keep on not enjoying the ride.

Whoa BUB!!! It was great to beat Bama and Queen Saban, however Bama is down this year and way over rated. I would be happy if we beat them by 17 or more. We still have a lot of football left to play. We do have a big X on our chest with the little giants coming to town. And Missoli would like to steal our season like a pc, lol! And the still have to make them lil hogs sing wee wee wee to call it successful! 12 more dominating quarters of kill or be killed football and then crownem!


(1) apostel tiger, I see you've been a member all the way back to November 2010! Wow!
Are you sure your handle should not be -
'poser tiger' or 'impostor' tiger?
Because you don't sound like an LSU fan........
""""""""AT ALL""""""""".

(2) "Bama is down and way overrated" ????
Yeah, EVERYONE believes that.
Are you like....STUPID ????????????

(3) "Missoli would like to steal our season" ????
That shows right there you're a fake.
The Ole Miss QB spells his last name:
"M A S O L I"

(4) You're not fooling ANYONE.

Your post title says "LSU is not and never has been elite"

Someone disputes this with facts and you say:
quote:

LSU's historical ranking is not relevant to the issue of whether we've had elite-level talent, resources, etc over the past decade.

Make up your mind. Are we talking "elite" program or "elite-level talent, resources, etc" Are we talking "never has been" or "over the past decade".

You don't get to just change your premise because the facts dispute it!

I bow to your superior fan abilities that let you not care about how the team actually plays for 60 minutes each week as long as you can brag about the record at the end of the year. Seems like you would care more about your time than that, but whatever.

But hey numbnuts, this is my thread to praise Miles for putting together a team that played up to its ability and beat what I believe to be a very good team in impressive fashion. Miles coached a great game, and the team played well for him and it's worth saying, especially by people who are almost always critical of Miles.

If you'll read back through this thread, you'll see that I was negative at people saying Bama was now sub par just because we beat them.
