how many of Nick’s players were on the 2011 SEC title team?

lost to Wisconsin, Auburn a couple times blew a 21 point lead to Tennessee

Saban lost a few to Auburn too.
Blew a 4 TD lead in one of them.

if you people would look past your blind hatred for even a moment you would realize even the best coach in the history of the sport has moments like this.

Our teams just do not come to play the right way without a warmup game.

We made some mistakes, clearly. But that was a very high level 1st game of the season between 2 very good teams. I kept telling my son during the game, “this is some really high level football being played in this game in general. But especially for a 1st game with 2 1st year starters at QB and both teams replacing their DCs (and OC for us).”

I heard Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn say the same thing today. Hester said he does a Tuesday show with Jimbo and he said it was an incredibly high level 1st game with the best QB play he saw all weekend from both guys save for maybe Miami’s. And I’ve heard other national guys with no skin in that matchup marvel on just how good a game that was. Again, period. But especially for a Week 1 game.

So I disagree that we weren’t prepared to play. We absolutely were. The was nowhere near the FSU games. Our coaches and players made a couple of bad plays/calls/decisions that would have been completely overlooked had we won or if the game hadn’t been as close. Riley and USC were very well prepared to, but they also made mistakes that we either didn’t take advantage of or they got great luck by not turning it over.

But at the end of the day, I thought both teams were well prepared and played very well. Our coaches weren’t perfect, but nobody ever is. And I don’t every loss has to have someone to “blame,” though I get that’s the emotional tendency that I’m certainly not immune to myself. But sometimes players on 1 team just simply make more plays than the others at critical positions. And USC’s QB and WRs made them when they had too.

And few people on here are rational enough to comprehend this, but giving reasons why we lost is not the same as making excuses.

Mods. You deleted the last thread I said this in 20 minutes ago because it was such a stupid topic so I say again. Can we please ban stupid people from making topics? Not a full ban, let the idiots post, but don't allow them to post topics anymore after they make really garbage topics. It's a really good idea that will clean things up and maybe we won't even need the score board on game day anymore. Think about it mods.

My arse stinks less than you.

Both are bad

But Kelly is a much bigger embarrassment

he also lost to Wisconsin, Auburn a couple times blew a 21 point lead to Tennessee never crossed the 50 yard line versus Alabama in a national championship game

Never lost 3 straight openers though. And in fact, had a pretty unmatched out of conference record. I use to love the big time out of conference opener. Oregon, Virginia Tech, TCU, BYU we were bitch slapping teams and shouting SEC! SEC! SEC! Bring them on! Now i fricking hate them cuz we can’t win them and I hope we schedule UHigh to start. Problem is the BR media would probably really hype that game…and we know how BK performs in hyped games.

Oof

Ipodking is the exact same way. He's turned into #1 bitch ever since Kelly was hired.

I'm surprised by the amount of downvotes. Les won a natty and we played in another. It was frustrating at times and it was time for him to go at the end.
I can't definitively say yet that Kelly is better or worse than Miles.

He also never had to play three straight openers against teams who finished ranked. He never had to play two straight openers against teams who finished ranked, either.

In fact, we only had 3 openers against teams who finished ranked during Miles’ entire LSU career. He went 2-1 in those games.

Oregon - only season opener vs. a legit team on your list (the other two during Miles’ tenure were Wisconsin).
Va Tech - not a season opener, though it was a legit OOC win.
TCU - finished 4-8 (2-7) unranked.
BYU - finished 4-9 unranked.
