I think this is the problem

We need to make Bama have a bad year

Ya feel me?


For sure.

Can you imagine how successful Miles would've been if Saban never comes back to cfb?
Lsu wins the title in 2011.
May have won the sec west in 2012 and 2010.

Saban loses to a team with far less talent every year.


Let me try to make it clearer. IT'S NOT THE LOSSES. Not even who we lost to. It's the fact that we got punked 3 games in a row like we were SEC bottom dwellers. That SHOULD NOT happen to an NFL factory like LSU.

Maybe one game in a season that would happen to a talented team, but 3 games in a row is a sign that there is something wrong; and it's not the players.

Let me try to make it clearer.OUTSIDE OF BAMA THIS HAPPENS TO EVERY SINGLE CFB PROGRAM. It happens to cfb program with just as much talent as lsu and i dont know if youve checked our last 2 nfl draft classes but they arent some huge numbers drafted. If you followed other programs as close as you follow lsu youd realize that these kind of losses happen to eveyone. If the best coach in cfb ( saban) with by far the most talent (4 straight #1 classes and 3 times the 5 star players as the next sec program) can lose to an inferior team every year then its not out of the ordinary for other teams to lose 2-3 games.

fricking this!!!

Could you imagine what the fan base would be like?? Could you imagine what this SITE would be like??

Miles is literally just the victim of coaching an elite program that happens to be in the same division/conference as another elite program that is coached by arguably THE greatest college football coach of all time.

He would be worshipped on here. But most success is about timing and chance. If the Dolphin doctors clear Brees then Saban is probably still in Miami. Its amazing what can be set in motion by what seams like an ordinary decision between Culpepper and Brees.

Again, It's not that we lost. I'm not debating your trivial observation that every team loses.

We were not competitive in those 3 games. Bama, Ole Miss, Arkansas beat us like they would beat Middle Tennessee State. Nobody in the top 25 (except LSU) lost 3 conference games in a row and got blown out in the process. Nobody. The way we lost those games is a reflection on the coaching staff and the reason why Miles nearly lost his job.

Why does in a row matter?
FSU lost 3 games playing in the damn acc. As if it matters when you lose 3 games. Where you shitting on saban when he lost 3 games every single year, but once,when he was at lsu?

We were down 17-24 in the 3rd quarter against ole miss.

The bama game was 10- 13 at the half. Stop acting like they blew our doors off from the jump

Ole miss lost to memphis and arky.
Arky lost to fricking toledo.

What's worse? Losing to sec west teams or mid majors?

I'm certain that you could take any program in the conference, excluding Saban/Bama, and find that over an 11 year period they are going to lose 3 in a row.

The fact that this is such a rare occurrence for LSU is a testament to the high level of success that we have enjoyed under Miles.

I don't care about the Miles, Jimbo contract fiasco (the only thing I can call it), but I still want to know why Miles stuck with JJ in the NCG and didn't let Lee give it at least a one series shot. There's more to that story, we'll likely never hear.


Haha, check with Lee's ex girlfriend...she was willing to share the story! But I would (a) get blasted for telling the story by those who really know, and (b) get blasted by those who don't really know. But yes, there was an interesting story to it (and one I never saw coming.)
