After going up on the tigers 14-0 in Baton Rouge, LSU managed to outscore Bobby Petrino’s Arkansas squad 41-3 the rest of the way. Les went in for the post game handshake and Petrino, apparently furious that Les ran the score up on him, backed away and said “frick you, motherfricker”.

Everything he’s gotten since then has been deserved. Let’s piss him off again this weekend.

It's the fricking SEC. You don't like it, stop it.

He didn't run it up. Tyran Mathieu drug his nuts on the Arky offense.

Les was known for his prolific offense, so you could see how he might have been running it up.

Outscored them 17-0 in the 4th Qtr

But Arkansas also threw an INT, 3 & out, and then honey Badger forced a fumble all in the 4th qtr. not really Les’s fault

And I love him for that!

The only thing better.



Could not have happened to two more deserving coaches.

Yeah I was about to say, Houston Nutt was mad at Les for kneeling too early a game or 2 before (because #MettScored, never forget).

And now they’re saying he ran it up? Poor Les, damned if he did. Damned if he didn’t.

how did we run up the score? Our last TD was a 50 yard TD run to go up by 3 scores with 10 minutes remaining, and then we kicked a FG with 5 minutes left to make it a 24 point game. Arkansas was the #3 team in the country - were we supposed to let them stay in the game?

That Ole Miss mercy knee sequence was such a dick move I can't really remember anything like that before

They didn't really run up the score against Arkansas they just couldn't stop us running all over them. What did they want us to do just fall down?

I think it was the field goal he took issue with but who knows.

Remember, this was still the BCS era and margin of victory was a factor in the rankings. I think Bama beat Arkansas by 24 that year, so Les wanted to match it.

The field goal was with 5 minutes left to go up 24. Pretty dumb thing to get mad about

100% Les broke out the secret 'run up the score' playbook that day.

Georgia didn't realize that they weren't in the SEC in the 2022 NCG.

Iirc, the qb called a naked bootleg on his own rather than a run up the middle. This pissed miles off so he did this to make sure the O didn’t score more to show them who was boss than to embarrass ole miss.
