Hostile environment. On the road. Same old les. I'm pretty sure we will see a different approach to play calling at home. It's les. He hasn't hanged yet, and he won't. He gives us all heart attacks, but damn that was fun.

Les miles did not play to lose as evidenced by he didn't ice the kicker quick enough and allowed a practice kick, so your statement is false

Les gets a lead the tries to protect it instead of keeping his foot on the gas

Les was playing not to lose, and in doing so, he gave MSU a chance to win the game.

The game was out of our control. We squandered a double digit lead. We handed MSU every opportunity, and allowed them a chance to kick the gaming winning field goal in the end.

Les failed his team last night. He put is in a prime position to lose the game. The fact that the final kick was a few feet to the right of the goalpost doesn't alter this fact.

Playing not to lose gets you beat. Often.

You should always have your foot on the gas. Always.

I described it last night as LSU is like watching a corvette with a governor in it. Starts off fast and chokes back. Top end is shite on this team.

The offense runs like a Corvette that refuses to shift to anything higher than first gear.

Until they prove me wrong (hopefully), I don't believe the offensive coaches have a clue how to create a dynamic offense that exploits our talent.

Oh I know it's not the team. On same token, if BH threw 5 int's you boys would be throwing an ape shite fit cause he wasn't "using the best back in the country".

We won. Nothing else truly matters to me. Nothing.

Right, it wasn't the team that made penalties that negated 17 points for LSU

Les & Staff gave the other guys a chance to win at the end. That's not sound football.

Same pattern for years.
Start hot, cool down for 2 qtrs, try to win in the 4th.

I'll never understand why you don't keep foot on the gas. We SHOULD have won by 28

When your defense is on the field as much as ours was in the second half, due to the weak game play calling, they get tired. That allowed MSST to get back in the game. That is not bitching but stating facts

Yes, but he put the team in a position where the game was out of his team's hands with no time left.


He banked on the kicker making a mistake.


It worked out, but you can't always count on the other team not executing.
