I guess what I'm coming to realize (and yes, I should have already known this) is that no matter who the coach is, they are going to have certain quirks and weaknesses. In the big picture, though, I can't doubt Miles anymore after these games.

I think Miles is a good man and good coach. He's also done a good job of surrounding himself with better coordinators which is crucial obviously.

You probably have had a lot more fun as a fan than I have since then.

Just so you'll know. Ford is more senior than Ware. Ford has a year on Ware.

At this point that has become a myth.

I never make these judgments until after the season is over. Can get mad over a loss or read too much into a win. He could still lose to bama and Arkie. We come in third in the west, well, we have a different outlook. Doubt that will happen, just saying.

My attitude is we go four or five years without going to Atlanta, we have a major problem. Paying him too much money, facilities are too good, recruiting is too good not to. Having said that, I expect us to win out or lose just one game this year.

Was never a Miles hater but I was a doubter during the '08/'09 years. I will gladly eat my crow and like it if this is the way he continues to run the program at LSU!

No joke.

When the time comes, I hope Les's statue is erected eating a blade of grass.

If the time would have come, I would have hoped Saban's statue would have been erected eating a bag of dicks.

I've been called a Miles apologist for years or a positiger. I only doubted him after Ole Miss, and Tennessee last year. Other than that, I've been waiting for this moment.

Told ya.

Probably the beast LSU team ever and a shame if they slip up against BAMA and don't win it all but next year if they stay remotely focused will be even better!! Wow has the last decade been the best ride ever!!



I agree 100%, and for that reason, I have no anxiety whatsoever in regards to the Bama game.

If we lose, I'll barely give a shite solely because this has been the greatest season that I have ever witnessed so far, and it has been a hell of a ride.

Whether we win or lose to Bama, we are still #1 in my eyes, and should be in the rest of the fanbase's also.

AGREE 100%, THEY ARE MAKING HISTORY THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY THE DOUBLE DIGIT WINS

Dude, we have more soph and freshmen playing than you can shake a dead cat.

BTW Ford is more Senior than Ware. Your theory is kinda dumb.

Those numbers don't prove anything. I'll still take Ware as the starter.
