Go figure, but for some reason our all knowing Miles haters would rather the team play to their weakness and throw the ball.


And how did that one dimensional power game work against BAMA, Arkansas, and Ole Miss?

what planet does one live on where one dimensional power run games attempt 35 passes in one game and 51 in the other?

Do some of you actually watch the games?

Actually ... they do.

You obviously think Alleva is one of those "pussies" and would have thought the same of former AD Bob Brodhead.

I personally like the way Brodhead handled a situation where the coach and players thought they should have a say in something because of who they were.

Arnsparger's proclamation that the "Head Coach and players will be given input into bowl game selection" evoked a simple response from me:

No they wouldn't.

As Director of Athletics, it was up to me to make the decisions which would prove most advantageous to the Athletic Department as a whole. That did not include placing a million-dollar decision into the hands of a football coach, or subjecting it to the whims of a group of twenty-year-old football players. That went out when the 1959 squad voted not to go to the Sugar Bowl.

Did you actually read the post, you ignorant little shite?

Or were you too busy with your Pavlovian responses, trolling and spamming every thread?

Admins? I say again, when will this troll be banned? He contributes nothing to this board but thousands of spam posts. He's never started a thread of substance, or posted anything of substance.

I was excited to read his comments, not yours. way to ruin what would have been a perfectly good thread by antagonizing the board.

Because the thousands of posts trashing the program, coaches, administration and players on here aren't antagonizing at all. Just the ones that call those people out

I don't think anyone doubts the relationship that the players have with Les.

It isn't a democracy

You think the players are gonna throw the HC under the bus? Dupre said mid season he wouldn't have come to LSU had he known we'd run it 30 X a game. So there's that too.

BS. Just the very vocal, chronically discontented MINORITY who can never find a half-full glass at LSU.

Preaching to the choir, Bee. I don't associate with the extreme negas and try to keep my posts level-headed, although I do slip up sometimes. Usually when the "haters" post, it's just to hate. The OP could have just posted the article and left it at that, without ths unnecessary low blow.

And BTW I think you're extremely unfair and narrow-minded to put all the non-pumpers in the "hater" category. You still haven't been able to see any difference between rational discontent and spewing hate and drivel.

I see the difference nix. Some people are just too over the top though.

I enjoy your posts and agree with many of the same criticisms

I appreciate that.

I admit I'm too sensitive and always feel like I have to defend myself--one of my many flaws

It'd be nice if all the players and coaches would shutup and win more instead of whining about hurt feelings and the criticism that comes with LOSING.

That's one of the reasons you're watching the Heisman Trophy presentation from home, Leonard.

Does the OP really think any player would come out and criticize their current coach's HS level gameplan and lack of a plan b?

Do you think a current player would come out with a quote like "all the penalties, it's frustrating. Les is too busy arguing with the guy that's supposed to be being paid to call the plays and the play comes in late. There's no time for presnap reads and you're so busy trying to rush to get the play off its hard not to lose concentration and false start."

And even then, LSU still played like shite against aTm. Did anyone actually go back and watch that game or they just remember miles being carried off the field? LSU was gifted 21 points and could only score 9 because the offense looks worse in the 11th game into the season as it did the first.



Amen

Against a shitty A&M team the offense looked like the same old shite show that it has always been. Let me guess, Les Miles is again going to work hard to fix it, right?

Should of taking the Bama, Ole Miss and Arky games personal too.

quote:

“It was a lot. Without his signature on that letter, we wouldn’t be at LSU,” Fournette said. “Just playing for him. He always told us just to play for the seniors. But we wanted to play for him instead.”


How about you play for the colors and letters on the side of your helmet and the university instead of a millionaire coach that was going to set for life if that was going to be his final game?

quote:

And Miles’ handling of the very public ordeal? Well, that turned out to be a pretty great example for his players.


He handled every bit of it with class.

quote:

“No matter the situation that came his way, he kept it professional,” Fournette said.


Yes he did.
