Miles IS sandbagging - He really is a poker player

Love him or not, Miles holds his cards close to his vest.

Miles is not going to show any cards until he percieves he absolutely has to.

Now that the pre-season has unfolded, his genius will become evident.

Or, the opposite..

Which will it be?

He has a lot of aces in the hole. Miles has hit a lot of tee shots into the water in the practice games leading up to the UGA-FLA games. His handicap is about like mine, in the mid-to-upper teens right now. But, he is better golfer than that - or so we hope.

How many strokes is he earning in this "pre-season" timeframe.

Is this a "stroke" of his genius ?

The next 2 weeks will tell us everything.

We will have our own cocktail party in the next two weeks. Instead of UGA vs FLA, it will be LSU v UGA followed by LSU v FLA.

When that cocktail party is over, there WILL be headaches and hangovers.

If Miles is a genius, it will be Richt and Meyer with the headaches and hangovers.

If Miles is the opposite, it will be Miles and the LSU nation with the headaches and hangovers.

Check that, that will be the case either way with Tiger fans - HAHA. But, you know what I mean.

Miles, release the hounds - i mean wildTigers. Let looses the riens of offensive mediocrity!

Geaux Tigers!

Wish this was true. If he felt he didn't have to break out of those aces in the first four games, especially MSU, then he is the coolest guy at the table.

Face it. For the first 3 games, we were never really in danger of losing. Therefore, we never really had to show anything. But we nearly lost to MSU and we didn't appear to have that extra gear to keep MSU at arms length. I will always remain positive for the Tigers and Coach Miles, but I fear that this team is what we have seen. They are tremendously talented, but underachieving at this point. Why they are underachieving is up for debate.

WARNING !
Kool Aid must be diluted before drinking.

I hope we turn it around..but I do not think ANY coach would risk losing as in MSU to save plays.

I am sure new plays will be added as the team is able to assimilate them, but they are not being SAVED...with the exception of the 1 or 2 trick plays that all coaches keep hidden.

WTH? MSU had four chances from the 2-inch line, and we would have lost had they scored.

That said, offenses naturally expand in play calling throughout the season, and I'm confident that Les has some ideas. Remember The KW TD pass against Auburn last year?

ETA: Ignore my first comment. It's early, and I didn't read your post well my friend.

Are you really being sarcastic about this post? if you are than funny.

If you're not, than you are an idiot. We could possibly be the worst top 5 team of all time

He said the first three games. MSU was game 4, but nice addition.

Even still against state, we were ok still the goalline stand, but I think the caoches had enough faith in our talent that we got scrape out a win. I don't think they are hiding much as new plays, just not taking too many chances at this point. I think the playbook opens like Pandora's box this week and its on us to execute. I also think our team will be pissed off enough at poor performances and peopl not having faith in them and beat up on the Dawgs.

For the original poster, two questions:

1. Is the offensive line getting dominated by perceived lesser opponents all part of this trickeration?

2. If Les is so confident in his team, are we sure that GEORGIA is where he unleashes the talent? What's to stop him from being cute with Georgia too?
