Tired of this trend in major sports...

I am not on board with firing coaches, as this isn't about that.

I'm tired of seasons ending with these nasty losses. Baseball, football, basketball, no matter...it sucks.

I understand basketball will end in a loss most of the time anyway...but this manner is sickening. The blown Music City Bowl, meltdown against the Cougs, 2013 CWS, Clemson Chick-Fil-A Bowl...we need some good mojo going soon.

2003-2009 LSU was pretty clutch.

From 2010 on, we've been pretty suck.

Baseball chokes as much as any.

Restructure how coaches are paid- less salary more incentive pay- problem solved

Every single team in the big dance besides one team will end their season on a loss.

In baseball it is the same way. All but one team will end their season on a loss.

I'll say it again, miles and jj are clueless at the end of a game. If there is not superior talent to make the play, there x and o decisions won't do it. Totally clueless with timeout usage.
They sit back like a spectator instead of improvising and looking ahead.

I agree.. I'm tired of this Bullshnit.
The good news is. we do have some good mojo going.. maybe better than any other football/basketball combo in the NCAA.
The basketball team showed serious flashes and just made their first tournament appearance in 5 years and choked it away like we were playing Missouri.
The football team finished first in the SEC in total defense.. choked away that alabama game and then gave up on the rest of the season.
We have what will be one of the (if not the) best basketball recruiting classes coming in.
And we will have one of the (if not the) best football recruiting classes EVER coming in.
While minor coaching changes may have won us a few of these heartbreaking losses this year, upgraded personnel will certainly win them next year.
Mojo is en route.

You are correct, sir. These coaches give off a terrible vibe during the end of the games. I sit back and tell myself, watch how dumb whatever we are about to do is...and I'm never wrong. The only time we usually close out games is if the other teams mess up, it's never about US closing the game out (ala Ole Miss 2014). Sickening. LSU circa 2009 had a sport-wide step on their throat kind of attitude. No mas.

I want to get excited...but sometimes it's hard. As soon as State got rolling I could see the direction it would ultimately head. Some teams shut down a comeback, and some don't...

It's the same in football. The bowl losses, the last 2 Bama losses at home...it's almost scripted.

Yup. Losing to a shitty Notre Dame and arguably throwing tonight's game is aweful

It's crazy how football alone we've gone from winning the close ones to inevitably choking the close ones away...withstanding details as to why they were close.

It's sickening. I suppose other schools that miss out on the postseason parties have fans that suffer more...but a trip to the SEC Rant sort of takes care of any of that consolation.

I don't have a lack of confidence in CPM, but I won't be surprised if we end up a 3rd or 4th place SEC team either. I suppose I should just be happy to see the team escape the regionals.
