Apex, how do you know Les is visiting with Collins?

I can confirm that Les & Frank were both in Algiers today, talked with both.

Right on brother. Thanks for providing the first rays of sunshine in what was a very long, dark week.

Like most, I don't have an answer to the JLee saga. But some people need to put things in perspective - our coach just went thru the SEC regular season undefeated (winning almost every game convincingly), won the SEC Champ, was named Coach of the Year, was playing for his 2nd national champ, and, prior to Monday, many people were claiming this team was one of the best of all time. Dude didn't forget how to coach or recruit overnight. Some of the rantards (and former NFL QB's from Cut Off) may think that LSU is able to attract so much talent based on name alone that you can plug any idiot into the head coaching job and they will win 8 games a year. But try that argument with a USC, Miami or Texas fan and see where you get.

Every coach including the almighty Saban has one of those games where they just get beat for whatever reason....outcoached, didn't have his team ready, didn't eat little debbies the night before, whatever. Say what you want, with the exception of this game and Florida a few years ago (and maybe a Georgia game), our team usually shows up (or at least finds a way to win on off-days). Rantards conveniently forget some of the Saban letdowns and how the term "brook trout" look came about. Unlike Miles, however, that dude would just blame it on his players (didn't execute the plays we called), the fans (not supporting the team at all times leads to negativity around the program), media (I could be dreaming up new schemes if I didn't have to sit hear and answer so many stupid f*cking questions, aight), etc., and most would not dare question him. It's a lot easier to look good when you are skilled at deflecting blame. Would you feel better if Miles came out and said he had called all the right plays, but Hurst/Jefferson/Mathieu didn't execute?

For the rantards who want a new coach, one question - who ya got? Cause I don't see a whole lot out there better than the current current coach of the year that we already have. As another one who suffered thru the Hallman/Gerry D. days, I would have given my left nut to see us in this position every year. And I, for one, am not eager to return to those days.

Hats off to Saban and Alabama - they had a very strong team this year, and they got the better of us this time. They were the better team Monday night. But this rivalry has turned into a great one and is FAR from over. And I won't be surprised to see us DESTROY them next year.

Let the butt-hurt continue to heal!

Apex - great positve post

I for one would like to think of the glass as half full and not empty.

Yeah, like the year we lost to Iowa in the bowl game.

Mettenberger said he could hardly wait for Tuesday (the day after the BCS title game) because "that's when it's my team. It's gonna be like getting a Maserati when you turn 16. I really think our offense can be special."

this quote made my day.

Apex!!! My man!!! I felt a stirring in my loins for the first time since Monday!!!!



Now if we can just keep all these folks in the fold, convince LC that playing beside TM7 will be better than sex, find an OC that can actually spell passing game...we will be hot schit-ski again!

Life must. Be starting to return to some state of normalcy.... we are going to be fine.

I have been out of the loop last two days....what is the feel on RR and RS? Talk of still staying?

If Les pulls this off, he is more of a snack oil salesmen than I thought especially with Landon Collins.

I belive LSU can be special, but Les has to get things in order for his team to make a serious run next year. Yes the schedule gets easier but the SEC schedule imo gets harder. It won't be easy to repeat as SEC champions, but attainable. Key games will be Florida, Auburn, S.C., and obviously Bama and Arky will be a mother fricker to win in Little Rock or Fayettenam
