this is my opinion. please feel free to disagree.

why would miles not run shepard after his td?
shepard was used as a receiver and caught a pass.

now seven/eight sec foes have to prepare for shepard to run and to catch. miles did not have to show shepard run again and again.
the sec foes have to prepare for shepard, ware, ford, hillard, odell, etc, etc, etc.

why would miles show the foes any of his secret plays? i did not feel that lsu would lose when towson went up 9-7. why do yall want to show our secret plays? didn't mett throw up two 40+ td's when needed? did not the offense run for scores as if in a class?

yes, there were fumbles and penalties.
2007, lsu was #1 in penalties.

lem graduated mich in economics. a regular college degree usually is a 110 iq. and economics degree is closer to 130. genius is 150 and 130 is gifted. 130 and higher gets you into mensa.

lem is a gifted (maybe genius) football coach.

the offense did NOT show many packages.
the defense did NOT show many packages.
why do the numnuts what lsu to slaughter towson?

miles knows that 70+ points can be done, but why?
to make the dummies on the rant happy?
to make ap voters happy?

what wins bcs championships? DEFENSE and IQ.

remember miles the "mad hatter" or "riverboat gambler" pulling out games w/ secret plays?
why show your hand to the 7/8 sec foes? some think it was luck, i think it was genius.

are you sure that miles is not game planning in favor of season planning?

i judge lem as very smart. he has won more than anyone (ANYONE) on the rant could have guessed or even hoped most of the negamiles ranturds are gonna be proved wrong for the 8th year in a row.

and, if i'm wrong, well, i'm not too smart.

I agree with pretty much everything you posted.

My dad and I were talking the other day about his "stubbornness," as some call it, when he doesn't do something different.

Example: Not a lot of passing plays against Towson. Why doesn't he throw it more? We've had 2 fumbles while running the ball. Why not throw it more so they'll quit stacking the box?

Yes, I said this and I'm one of the biggest Miles supporters out there.

Then, I started to think, you know, he probably doesn't want to reveal too much of his hand.

I know a lot of people will disagree with me on this, but I really believe that Miles learned something from 1/9 and he won't be in that situation again.

He showed his hand in the Arkansas game, then in the SEC game, and it was the same thing for the BCS NG. The other team, that team that everyone seems to be so obsessed with lately, particularly their coach, caught on to that. Say what you want about Saban but he's a great coach, I have to give him that.

Anyway, getting back to the point, Miles got burned for showing his hand too early and he won't do that again. I really do believe there's something to that.

Well if the polls were to stay where they are it would be a showdown between Miles and Nick Saban's pick for LSU coach when he left Jimbo Fisher LSU's old offensive coordinator. Will be interesting the talk on here if it does.

Why do people continue to say this year after year?

You do realize without that safety in auburn, we're in OT with a team that should have lost to ulm?

Why do people think this is such a master plan? You're fools to believe this.

Play selection should not matter when you are LSU and you are playing something called a "towson". What the frick is a towson?

The LSU offense should be able to let the towson OC call their plays and still win 40-0.

Secret plays and Les Miles' 130+ IQ aside, what happened Sat night was inexcusable on every level.

People have said this same thing year in and year out.

Some people really believe Russell Sheppard hasn't thrown a pass yet because Miles is just "waiting for the right moment."

Wow, I honestly hadn't realized that, great point. I for one am happy with Miles, the team, and the direction the program has maintained since Saban left. That said, if Fisher and FSU move ahead of LSU in the national discussion, it does raise a great question - should we have tried to keep him on?

I know that and I understand that.


After 1/9, I feel it's different, I honestly do.


But everyone has an opinion, so be it.

1/9 was just a ploy to lull Alabama to sleep for this year's regular season game.

We've got em right where we want em now!

You can have a positive frame of mind but voicing it on the rant at best risky. The rant is like the 4chan for lsu sports. Negativity/snide remarks/derision/insults make up for spicier topics/posts than bland factual discussions

I believe this, I just think he can be stubborn at times

I think this season the play calls actually are better than years past, but the execution from players has not been there
