re: Biggest Game is Miles Career?

LSU needs to go all out. TAF needs to pay the refs, put Jamarcus back in Metts uni in white face and have a sniper atop BDS to hit kneecaps.

it'll be a good sign that LSU is not "off the map" to recruits.

I think that this is a lot of chicken little. LA is a fertile recruiting ground and Saban and Bama are at the point now that he can just show up at any 5 star recruits house in any state and say "It's time".

Having said that, 1/9 was the biggest game. We win, we are still on the same level as Bama. We lost, and we are a middle of the pack SEC team.

Just throwing this out there, I've always thought that UT in 2006 was a watershed win for Les. We had lost to AU and UF, and were on the road and it was a must win. 2006 ended up great and 2007 of course was awesome.

How about last year on 4th and 1 at the Alabama 25 with a chance to go up by 10 with 8 minutes remaining, he took Mettenberger, Hill, Hillard, Shepard,Ford, out of the game to stand by him on the sidelines and put Spencer Ware in to run a QB sneak into Alabama's massive D-Line. Stuffed for no gain. Pretty big blunder in my mind.

I See LSU Going 7-5 This Year. Next Year 7-5 And Miles Is GONE.

Better for Miles to get blown out thant to lose this game due to a time management mistake.

No not really. We've already lost 2 games. This game really doesn't mean shite other than beating a rival.

I think that's why it's such a big game for Les. He knows the end goal isn't attainable anymore. But he still has to prove a lot about his team. This game goes far in that sense.

I do think this is a very important game for him, because no, more than ever, want to see if Miles is up to the task. The 2 losses earlier this year amplify this game, from my perspective at least.

but if a recruit selects a team based on one game result then piss on 'em.

Its not 1 game, we have lost 2 so far this yr possibly 4-5. Lost 3 last yr. Recruits will look at the overall program not 1 game I agree but its not just 1 game that we are losing every yr! 2 losses or more seems to be where Miles' teams like to be.

As if he didn't already have a few "biggest games in Miles career" ... Short Answer: I have never been a fan of Les, and probably never will be, but since it is the next game of the season, I would say "Yes."

Long Answer: All the sunshine pumpers try to be upbeat, and talk about how bad it was in the 90's. That was then, this is now. College Football is no where near what it was in the 90's. Recruits follow all the social media, and sites like this. Recruits are most interested in playing Sunday ball and where they can get the chance to showcase their talents. Recruiting is a season in and to itself, so if you choke on national television, that equates to 2 losses (1 for the game and 1 for the recruiting phase). So when you show up to play for the "'Ship" without even the slightest hint of preparedness, it is most embarrassing to say the least. Look at Gunner Kiehl who went to Notre Dame the next day, for example. Bottom line is this, when your team is embarrassed in front of the entire nation, that stigma stays with you until you can overcome it. We had that chance last year with Alabama, but 3rd and Chavis got us and here we are. So, yes, yes it is Miles' biggest game in his career Saturday. Period.

Probably the biggest one since 1/9. Though the same could be said for last years LSU-Bama game.

when you play in sec and you're looking for national championship every year ever game is your biggest game
