re: A lot of fans should be ashamed of their actions

I have to agree. Look, we're all disappointed with the outcome of this game. We should have been better prepared, and we were clearly out coached this time. But remember, 1) This was probably the 4th greatest season ever by LSU, some would argue the 3rd greatest, considering in 2007 we lost two games. 2) We're still loaded. Next year we'll still be strong if not stronger.

Look, Les deserves a lot of the blame with sticking with JJ for the entire game, but these same qualities of loyalty endears him to his team. We can't separate these qualities in him, whether it's good or bad for the team. CLM is what he is. And what he is, is a loyal, stubborn, damn fine coach. And yes, sometimes the loyalty and stubbornness will get us in trouble, but would you really prefer a return to Gerry DiNardo, Curley Hallman, or even a good but not great coach like Bill Arnsberger?
