I agree but you won't find much patience in a place like this

This is the part that blows my mind. Seems like LSU should be getting more for the money but what the hell do I know.

We won, why do we have to win by 30?

No, the people that are delusional are the ones who believe in easy wins in this conference. Every coach in the sec west is being paid over $4 million because they've fielded teams who can compete and have proven results.

True, Les Miles play calling is about as sexy as grandma's night gown collection, but it works. The Tigers are a "win the line of scrimmage team", get over it!



Dude, you obviously know nothing about football!!! How you can you defend running the ball against 10 men in the box with the game on the line? SERIOUSLY?

I could keep going.

14 is the worst in recent memory, followed by 02 and 04.


but IMO the offense was fine. 2 TDs called back. a deep pass called incomplete even after replay showed it was a catch. two big runs called back, one from Harris and one from Williams.


The offense was fine. we went into a shell to end the 2nd and beginning of 3rd.

After that we were gashing them on the ground. Harris had a few poor throws. we shut it down with 2 minutes left after dak carved up our defense. But the fans want us to throw the balk and give it rt back to them.

it was 21-13. We ran for 9, 17, 3 and 27 yards. Had a couple of short throws. Penalties did us in. we were gashing the stacked box.

It should blow your mind. The amount of money we pay for this coaching staff should at least buy us a high school level offense, don't you think? I mean if 9 of 14 for 71 yards passing in a college football game with top 5 talent doesn't bother you, something is wrong. I'm not saying we should abandon the run and throw all night, but those numbers are just sad. And we could have easily lost that game if not for a lucky delay of game penalty. I bet many of those defending this shite show would be singing a different tune if that field goal gets made.

they make a small fraction of what the program brings in. we are getting a bargain. most wins in the sec over 10 years. He should be getting paid more.

Season tickets sold out again, we led the sec in ticket sales again. This year may be diff with tamu expansion.

I agree for the most part, but it's not about scoring points or beating a team by 30+; for me it's about being dominant for the ENTIRE game (4 QUARTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Football isn't just 2 quarters, and sit on the ball until the other team gets within a field goal of winning, then say "oh, let's get serious!"........

WTF kind of football is that???????

More often than not, we're not just bad, but we are atrocious. Folks may not want to hear that. They may want to say it's not Les' fault.

But again, there's a point in time where extenuating circumstances are cited so often, they begin being considered as the making of an excuse.

I do believe these statistics on a macro level, and the repeated failure to operate a balanced offense week in and week out each season (on a micro level) are bringing more and more people to the point where they are hearing excuses.

LF averaged 6.4 yards on 8 attempts in the 4th. That's how I'd defend it.

We don't and I didn't say that. It just doesn't seem like we get 5 million + of productivity out of the staff. That's all I'm saying.

And yet, MSU still had a chance to beat us.....go figure!!!

Whether we won or lost was still in the hands of Moo State.....so much for the 6.4 avg!!!

I like how you conveniently ignore they had to settle for the long FG try because they were out of time. Know why they were out of time? I'll give you a hint: it has something to do with running into that stacked box and killing the slime while moving the ball. If you want to fault anything, it should be that we didn't stick with LF.

I didn't realize they scored all our points, made us commit penalties that negated big plays, and let us win the TOP 2:1 in the 4th quarter. Interesting strategy for them do do all that for us.

To be fair, this ranking should be against teams who faced the same opponents the Tigers faced.

I just can't take this seriously considering 90% don't have to face sec opponents.

can you explain to me why we ran uptempo for 2 or 3 drives at the end of 3rd qtr and in the 4th qtr? we actually ran a hurry up and run, run, run and utilized the least amount of time we could while keeping it moving? I wanted to work the clock when our defense was getting tired.

Maybe you're right! But the question still remains, WHY DID IT EVEN GET TO THAT POINT for Moo State to have a chance???

No one can answer that question? Jesus!!!
