We’re playing against the finest teams in the country and you know what? We had every opportunity to win and I think that’s kind of where you want your program to be, don’t you?
I liked the article. But I have to say that this quote bothers me and reminds me of the Alleva statement when they gave Coach Miles a raise. Alleva said something like getting close is what counts.
My answer is, "no you don't get rewarded for close". What's the old saying about horse shoes and hand grenades? Close doesn't count!

I agree with you, but in the current state of the program, good not great imo, if you want to be optimistic and take a positive spin on things, emphasizing being close is as far as you can stretch it bc in close/big games lately, we've been close, but we haven't won.

He did not say close, you said it.

It's amazing how you can turn a positive statement into a negative thought when you are a negative person. I've very pleased we play for championships at LSU. And I'm even happier when we win Championships.

Especially to all you Miles worshipers, Miles is playing you for a sucker. He must be laughing all the way to the bank...
