Tell us. If Brees, Bush, and Shockey had gone down with injuries and Harper had been in and out of the game with cramps from the flu and the Saints had lost to the Rams, would you be whinning and bitching about Payton and the Saints, "not being fun anymore"
Just curious.

No, because that lack of fun would only apply to one game, not 1 1/2 seasons or more.

No, the only game I came close to having fun watching this year was Auburn. The O, D, and ST were on fire that night and we looked like we were one a mission to destroy everythiing, but the still left I think like 17 points on the field which was frustrating.

I mean I miss the days of 2007 where we would kill the cream puffs 45+ to 0, and all the SEC play was exciting we looked prepare to play. Of course you can say well what about kentucky and Arky, but I personally think they are outwieghed by VT, FLorida, Tenn, OSU, SC, Bama, and Auburn that year.

I mean the last LSU game I really enjoyed watching was probably the BCS national championship game and maybe Auburn in 2008 b/c it was the exciting SEC with some Lesticles thrown in even though the D looked like swiss cheese that night with all the holes in it.

Overall as others have said winning is good, but are we ever going to see a game like VT where we pounded them not one, but two new assholes under Miles. I mean the best thing a coach can do is make people enjoy watching his football team play. I mean even though I cant stand the teams I love watching FLorida, Bama, and Texas play.

Its sad now almost, I missed the days under Miles when even though we were lined up to kick a field goal, not a soul in the stadium actually had a clue whether that ball was destined to go through the uprights. I miss the excitement of 5 for 5 on fourht down and Verne going as my good friend would say "ONIONS!" for those who remember that comment.

I mean I think alot of LSU fans frustration with Miles is just as you said, LSU football isnt fun anymore, it dull, ordinary, and we cant seem to win the big game or even look prepared for it. I mean all the people on here who say oh well alot of teams would want to trade records with Miles, but if Miles cant beat Saban or Meyer, he could go 11-1 or 11-2 and still be second tier which sounds rediculous, but in the conference we play in, its just the truth.

If I had to guess, most LSU fans love the record we have, but hate the way we got it. I mean we all bleed purple and gold and we want to hear on SPortscenter how we just plowed through someone, obliterated them, things we havent heard since idk, 2007. Miles has lost the fan base and has people calling for his head b/c LSU football isnt exciting to watch, its like a business trip not a college sporting event.

It's a combination of the fact that we downgraded coaches (which is starting to show up on the field)

We upgraded to Chavis, thankfully, and arguably (before the piece of shite we see this year) upgraded with Crowton over Jimbo, who was in my mind at best an inept OC. Did Crowton just forget how to coach, is Miles meddling, is Miles not meddling enough? Who knows. It's Les's responsibility and he's going to have to fix it.

If you are not having fun during the Golden-Age of LSU football, your not an LSU football fan!

We had fun watching the Tech game, we all took a shot everytime LSU went three and out. We were drunk by halftime.

ULL...unbelievable, this game should have been an arse raping, yet we let them hand around for too long and look lethargic

this rt here is where ur opinion doesnt matter. 31-3? jesus christ what would you have liked? You say you had fun watching uga which was a close game. But you also liked watching us blow out tulane. What is better? staying the whole game cus its a good close match, or blowing out the other team and leaving at halftime?


Only three games this season bugged me.. 1)MS State- still fun considering we won in dramatic fashion
2)UF- obviously scoring 3 pts sucks
3) La tech- once again offense sucked and there were points in the game i actually felt we could lose


All the other games were fine, we pulled out the win and i had fun watching the bama game all the way til the 4th quarter and the missed int call.

It obviously matters, it matters to me and a lot of peoples opinions on this thread have mattered today. People are speaking out.

31-3? jesus christ what would you have like?

I never argued the final score, I said our team looked lethargic and disinterested.

-wasting talent
- letting teams that shouldn't even be competing w u, compete w us till the 4th
- having a coach praise what we call crappy playing every week
- losing to bama and uf 2 years in a row
- watching a coach make 1 boneheaded game decision after another

I agree that all of the above mentioned have many fans quite frustrated. I can't help thinking about what the players must be feeling during the games when they experience first hand some of the decisions that make us so angry. Is it any wonder that they lack "swagger"?

If we are losing confidence in the decision makers, just imagine their state of mind. I don't think they're having much fun either.
