Your prediction here is well-noted...thanks bud. Highly respected.

We won a cripple fight last night because Driskel is awful and our kicker is decent.

This is the ole' standby for nega's.....yet, if you are a realist, then you have seen LSU have at least 8 wins for the last 9 years under miles...that just doesn't jive.

Our QB situation is bad. Harris gives us a brighter future in my opinion. Yea he did horrible at Auburn


I don't disagree with this. Posi tigers can also have concerns, and this is a major concern. I think Jennings will get a little better, but I agree harris has most upside. That said, Harris doesn't even have a grasp of the playbook yet....that was clear. You propose we throw him out there when he doesn't always know where to go with the ball?

And from past experience Inthink it will be hard to get to 8.


This is the one that just makes me If you are truly going on past experience, please tell me which year it was that Miles did not win at least 8 games in a season?

It's not about winning 8 games every year. If that's what you want then you must settle for a lot in life. It's seeing what works for your team and making adjustments. If the passing game is not working do something different not be content to just run with no passing game. That formula will not make you an elite team. Jennings has not shown that he is a competent passer Harris has shown some. There are plenty of examples where miles will not adjust at the QB position when it is obvious he should. I think most of us has chalked this season up to getting experience on our young team. So BH goes the wrong direction sometimes there is no better way to learn than trial by fire. If he wilts then he shouldn't be playing D1 football.

How can you people not understand this. Without giving anything away, this wasn't an EXCEPTION for BH. Everything you said is right. But, as a coach, how do you put a guy in, albeit more talented, who has consistently demonstrated he can't get a grasp of the playbook.....??? You can't do that, as a head coach in at this level...you just can't. You try and help the kid all you can. I don't understand why you can't see what is going on.

Typical CORFer who is stricken with an obvious mental disorder whose chief symptom is the sincere belief that the successes and/or failures of one's preferred sports team reflect directly on the character of a person.

You obviously have no idea how stupid it is to connect the two. Because of that, I laugh at you. Ha.

I like how you think anyone being slightly critical is a sidewalk fan, and everyone pumping sunshine out the arse is an alumnus. You know it's possible for people who have attended and graduated from LSU to be critical of the coaches and people who haven't stepped foot in a LSU classroom to be a sunshine pumper, right?

Your inflated sense of self-worth on this board has been quite amusing.

So you spend most of your post explaining to us that LSU doesn't have better talent than good SEC teams, but then, despite said lack of talent (your opinion), you somehow see...

quote:
a really bright future

Yep

quote:

---

Are we going to get more talented to achieve this really bright future? Wouldn't that require at least a couple of recruiting classes and then an additional couple of years for them to develop? Or will our SEC rivals get less talented?

---

Oh, I think both will happen. Auburn is losing Nick Marshall and Cameron Artiss-Payne, and most probably Duke Williams. They will drop off some. Ole Miss is losing Bo Wallace, a 3 yr starter at QB. Bama is losing Sims, a 5th yr senior, and probably Yeldon and Cooper. Miss St will lose a ton, including most probably Dak Prescott.

Against that, LSU will return experienced players at every skill position, 2 deep. Our O-line will have a year with their new coach under their belt.

Our offense will be much better than now, and much better in comparison to our opponents.

We did win one more SEC title and we did beat Meyer once

after 2009....same as bama right? yes or no?

---

Not sure what you mean here. Bama has won one SEC title (but two national titles and a kick-six from two and three, respectively) after 2009. Like LSU, I think they beat Meyer and Florida in 2010 (in a blowout, if I recall correctly). Nevertheless, I don't think Bama's accomplishments are relevant here, aside from their games against LSU.

quote:

---

Meyer never beat Miles again? Yes or no

---

They only faced each other one time after 2009, and LSU won 33-29 on a TD with 6 seconds left during Meyer's inexplicable meltdown 7-6 season in 2010.

quote:

---

Saban is 2-2 in miles since then during the regular season (3-2 overall). LSU has a real shot at making is 3 out of 5 regular season since your bold prediction.

---

Not sure why you want to limit to regular season games (well, actually, I know why you want to, just don't understand the validity of it), but yes, LSU has beaten Saban twice since I made the prediction.

quote:

---

Why would I quit posting? I said immediately after losing to Auburn, when everyone was predicting worst in West, 4-8, etc...that LSU would go 7-5 with shot at 8-4. I stand by that. I could be wrong.

---

If you are wrong, wouldn't that make you an absolute and complete moron, since being wrong on a prediction is all it takes?

quote:

---

it is not some knee-jerk, over-reaction as you and all that doom and gloom saying Miles would NEVER beat Saban or Meyer or win the SEC again. That is just ignorant to predict

---

I don't think anyone predicted Meyer's sudden implosion in 2010. Even with same, we barely won that game. Meyer has never had another season like that, before or since, so I don't think it was ignorant to predict that he would continue to have great teams (as he has, with that odd 2010 exception) and beat LSU.

As for beating Saban and winning the SEC, yes, I did expect us to lose to Alabama in 2010 and was wrong about that. The other win, in 2011, really fulfilled both of those (Saban win and SEC title), but as demonstrated two months later, it was certainly not ignorant to predict Alabama to win that game and LSU not to win the SEC that year, especially when the prediction was made two years out.

quote:

---

for a coach that has won 80% of his games.

---

Not sure how much it matters, but after the 2009 season, he had won 77% of his games, with 60% of his losses having occurred in the last two years and two-thirds of his wins having occurred in the first three years. This was after peaking at 85% at the conclusion of his third season. Having picked up the pace to 49-12 since 2009, his winning percentage is back up to 79%.

quote:

---

Honestly, I don't remember many posts from years ago. I couldn't get in the thread because at the time I was not signed up.....but it just stuck with me.....and I remembered the name and how ignorant that was.

---

The prediction was wrong, no doubt about that. However, you do realize, don't you, that there have been a total of six games that have fallen under that prediction (5 vs. Bama, 1 vs. Florida), three of which deviated from the prediction by a grand combined total of 10 points (two 3-point wins over Bama, one of which also basically gave us the SEC title I said we wouldn't win, and one 4-point win over Florida). Being off on three games by a grand total of 10 points makes the prediction wrong, but ignorant and completely moronic? You're entitled to your opinion, but you should be willing to judge your own predictions just as harshly if they should turn out to be wrong, too.

Your memory did not serve you. You are of course speaking of the game at Kyle Feild when we were #6 and undefeated ad aTm was #20?

quote:

It doesn't. We were favored in that game in 2012, ranked in the top 10 while they were barely in the top 20.

And those rankings are supposed to mean what when it comes to the logic (or lack there of) of the Rant.
