This is maybe valid? JJ was running for his life and we all know that Lee isn't very mobile.

Have you ever seen a lsu team perform like that?


Yes. Georgia, w Saban as our HC. 2004

You need to relax a bit. It was a humiliating loss. Probably our biggest ever. BUT, We did not become Ole Miss overnight.

i believe JJ has been sacked more than Lee!!!!!!!

Lee has a quick release and would have at least thrown it downfield.

JJ holds the ball forever even with guys open. go back and watch the game. hell, watch any game with him.

And we're letting him. The fans pretty much hate Les Miles, his prized recruits are leaving early and there is a great deal of negative energy around the program. By not letting this go, we aren't making things any better. I'm mad too and would love for someone to just give me all the answers. But I've had to reconcile with the fact that the past is the past and that Miles will have no choice but to learn from it. We'll all have to do the same so the sooner the better. Prolonging this is only making it worse. So I urge the great posters of the greatest message board on the planet to not let Saban win. He can't make us quit.
I like LSU fans, but y'all are some bipolar individuals. By my reckoning, Les Miles is too. He's all win or all fail. The vast majority of the time he looks crazy, but he WINS.
You gonna let a midget held together by hair gel and a smirk make you quit?
LSU is a pre-season #1, so the failure in the BCSCG should not eclipse the promise of the future. The great thing about the present is that you can focus on the future. That BCSCG was LAST season.

LEE would have thrown it to the other team. Dude does not like contact...never did.


Les got out coached ........the same way $abun got out coached by Les the last 2 time before this game.

The Mulligan $abun got on Nov 5th helped him get ready for this game. He changed his teams Identity........something he has never done before. Miles did not. Thats the coaching rivalry.....Les will prolly get him again at TS in 2012.

And Miles changed his teams identity and Saban knew it. Saban was wondering why also.

LEE would have thrown it to the other team. Dude does not like contact...never did. BS

I suppose Mett is the same way. BS

Hopefully Les will not do this again in a game or a season. I am a happy Tiger Fan and am gr ateful for a wonderful season. SEC champs.

Who is quitting? I see some undergrads leaving early for the pros. But how do you improve on a perfect regular season? It's a great way to leave. Bama, on the other hand, had a blemish. They were convinced they were number one, yet got beat on their own home field. Had LSU won the BCSNC, most of those same players would have headed.

There does seem to be a lot of smoke surrounding certain not-so-well-described events before and immediately after the game which only provides a contagious environment for conspiracy viruses to spread. The criticisms of the offensive game plan seem legit, not just for this game, but for the whole year. As frustrating as that may be, it does not make people quit, especially following the only undefeated season of the year.

The only thing that makes people quit is when deep down inside they believe they are losers. Such a belief can be disguised when we have a winning season. But let us lose a game, and the mask comes off the non well differentiated few, and they are right back where they were. All the blaming in the world will not remove the irrational shame they carry believing themselves to be a loser. And what is worse, neither will a BCSNC.

LSU has a history of playing like we are underdogs. By conjuring up lots of emotion we might be able to pull off a few great upsets. But the pressure of being on the top has been too much for our low self worth to handle. That is, until Nick Saban came to coach.

Saban helped LSU see that they could win it all with Louisiana recruits. The belief that we could win it all became the greatest recruiting tool of all. Louisiana produces some of the best players in the country, and only second to Mississippi with per capita of players in the pros.

Superstitious people contribute too much power to Nick Saban. He is a great coach. He has a method that works, and he usually out works most everyone around him. But he is beatable. He lost to LSU this year. As sweet as crystal is, it cannot finally remove the sour taste of the loss at home.

The sooner LSU fans can release this loser mentality and embrace the good people that we really are, the sooner we will improve our attractiveness to the many talented recruits. When we do bring home the crystal, we will know it was not luck, nor because the other team "beat themselves." We will know that deep inside we are winners.

Remind me again which team that JJ shovel pass went to?

And JJ in on 4th and 18? Really? REALLY? And what happened there? FUMBLE! (Keith Jackson does it much better) And which team got that one?

Sabam made Miles quit. There is not dodging that fact.

Maybe Miles shouldnt have taken a knee on Nutt. Karma's a bitch

I want coach Miles to stay Saban has done nothing to damage my trust in why decisions are made concerning player selection. Getting the accurate information could repair the damage. I think anyone who is without caution is destined to have that experience again.

and yes, miles allowing JJ to audible from passes to runs when we were behind late is basically giving up.

It goes both ways douche........Shula recruited Sabans first 2-3 year guys.

Let some of Sabans defensive players actually DO something in the NFL and then you can talk shite.

Julio was good w/out Sabans help

Still spreading more Lies?

JJ was more likely to urn the ball over this season than Lee. FACT

Lee took far less sacks than JJ this year. FACT

MoreOrLes still spreading lies. FACT.


ETA: LEE has the second longest STREAK IN LSU HISTORY WITHOUT A INT. FACT
