I have a few questions. In Miles' tenure at LSU have you ever stopped to think about his losses? I mean dig deep and see the reason why we lost those games. Have you paid attention through the years while he has been the head coach?

How many times when watching LSU has the question "What the hell was that" popped in your head?

Case in point. Why on earth would we run an option play to the short side of the field to RS not once but 2 times IN A ROW?

So I ask you, who does that? Why does that happen? Who is at fault? and finally WHY would you do that?

And that is just 1 example. Again go back to the losses and you will understand where I am coming from.

I think you're digging too deep in all the wrong places, and should invest in a Sam's size Purel.

I know why I would do it, but I don't want you to get a big head.

I wish we'd run the wing T wishveer out of the meerkat wildpistol, and then fake a punt on 3rd down.

You may scratch your head and wonder "Why in the hell did he do that?". But you never have to ask "Why in the hell didn't he try that?"

I love Les because he does take chances. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. The man has kept us relevant for his tenure. We would all love to win a NC every year, but it just won't happen. I think we are going to start seeing a shift in the playing style. With true passers like Mett and Rivers on the horizon. Things are going to be real interesting over the next few years. We can now have a balanced attack. You started to see that with Bama.

Kentucky 2007- Scott goes off in first half and carried it maybe twice in 2nd half.

Ole Piss- clock it!

Stand out the most but I say WTF alot.

Yes, LSU should be undefeated since '07 if only LSU wasn't coached by Les.

He's lost a few games for us. I give him a pass on Ole Miss though.. after seeing the same damn thing happen in the Texas/Nebraska game in '09 it's quite obvious that it was referee error -- we had time on the clock to spike it.

We were playing Florida a few years ago when Spurrier was still there. He threw a WR screen left, which we intercepted and ran in for a TD, but it was called back for a penalty. Next play, Spurrier ran the same play for an incompletion. Next play, same damn play again, for a TD this time.

Maybe Les just needed to run it one more time?

1) you love LSU and watch their games more often and infinitely more intensely than you do other schools. Every other coach in the country could do the same shite Les does, but you wouldn't know it because you're not watching their every move.

) Because our losses are so few and far between, you you remember them more. Hard to remember 40 times in 8 years. /uch easier to.remember 15.

3) because we're so good and lose so little, our losses tend to be big games with big consequences, which make them stand out even more.

4) As much as you may have convinced yourself you're a "realist," you lack pespective

Trying to delve into the mind of Les Miles is something I will never try to do.
