Also, those 8 straight runs and a subsequent 9th on a QB scramble left us at the 32 yard line with over 6.5 mins left.

And it was the one time in the game I actually got my hopes up thinking "score here, and it's 1 possession". I actually remember thinking, "les better not frick this up and go for 2"
The optimism of football fan during the game.

At $4milla year..he sure the frick does

No.

He doesn't.

And the amount of his salary has no bearing on the question.

I actually think it is the other way around. The older fans have sat through absolute shite for LSU football during their lifetime and are actually appreciative of the success we are currently experiencing.

Frat boy just became a fan in 2003 or 2007 and thinks every single year LSU should win a national championship

---

That angle exist as well, so I agree.

I just can't shake out of my min the type of people saying "He owes us explanations he makes 4 mill a year!" are the 40 something, a kid or two kind of guy.

The people running around screaming "MILES IS AN IDIOT! WE'RE FALLING OFF THE CLOUDS!" is your frat guy like you described.

I am as disappointed as anyone in the game that shall not be named, but to watch how miserable people in our fan base make themselves, in THE GREATEST run of our schools history is mind blowing.

We are not, nor have we ever been, Alabama, Miami 80's, FSU 80's-90's, Nebraska, OU etc.

LSU has always been a very respectable, solid, college football program. For years we lurked just outside of the true elites and we as a fan base always wanted better, to belong with the blue bloods. Well look around, we are there!!!

By any measure, the last 7 (Miles - 81.5% 2 SEC and 1 NC) or 12 years (Miles & Saban - 78.3% 4 SEC and 2 NC) is as good as it is going to get. If you aren't satisfied, and by this I don't mean we can hope or work to get better, and it truly infuriates you that we are "fricking terrible and coached by a moron", then you need to give up being a fan because you will never be satisfied.

If you took the last 12 years and extrapolated them across the history of LSU, we would have the greatest college football program ever.

Games - 1170
Wins - 916
Loses - 254
SEC Championship - 40
National Championships - 20

As sad as it was, those 8 straight running plays accounted for over 27% of our total yards and enabled us to cross the 50 for the 1st time that night.

Also, those 8 straight runs and a subsequent 9th on a QB scramble left us at the 32 yard line with over 6.5 mins left.

That wasn't quitting, we weren't good enough that night to finish. Yes we were bad, but Bama was equally great. You have to give them some credit in this.

---

And the end result was zero points, and no time left on the clock to attempt a passing game. Basically a failed effort.

And that it a nutshell, is laughingly pathetic

a. The fanbase is the people that are, for the most part, reasonable - and who want to know why things happened the way they did.

Thanks I needed a good laugh. Our fanbase is fricking delusional and you are too if your believe this shite your typed up.

quote:

---

How am I wrong? Do you consider Les Miles a bright man?

---

You are an arse...Miles was bright enough to be accepted to and graduate from U of Michigan which is not a piece of cake...

He was bright enough to out coach many other NC winning coaches...and navigate a team without a "strong" QB through one of the most challenging seasons (based on competition) any college football team has faced in the modern era without a regular season loss!

He was bright enough to step into a situation at LSU where he KNEW he was going to be constantly criticized by a fan base that loved them some Nick so bad!

He was bright enough to hold a team together in the midst of one of the most devastating natural disasters to ever affect a team (Katrina and Rita)and helped exceed the previous coach's last year at LSU

And there is nothing serendipitous about the extreme hard work, long hours and sacrifices he made to get where he is today...

and he has made winning so believable at LSU that the fan base has put on blinders, forgot the past and have turned into dribbling idiots posting on here.

No.....he doesnt owe you shite.

I'd really like to see a breakdown of how much the whiners on here have contributed to LSU in the last year--TAF, LSU foundation, whatever. Not much, I'm willing to bet. I'd go out on a limb and say a lot of them wouldn't know how to get to Tiger Stadium if you dropped them at the North Gate of campus.

This is absolutely correct. The same people who think that we can get any coach we want at any time because "who wouldn't want to coach LSU?!?!?!"

Morons. It's easy to get sucked into the world of the rant when you read it a lot, and believe that most fans think this way. None of my friends (that graduated from LSU) think this way.

These are Wal-Mart fans that hopped on around 2003. They are serial complainers and nothing more. They have zero problem booing 18-22 kids that accomplished more in those 4 years than they ever will. Les Miles is better at any part of his job than they will ever be at anything, but they have the comfort of the internet's anonymity that that allows them to be a tough guy and demand something from the best coach LSU has ever had.

You people need to get away from my team because you are a cancer, not Les Miles. I don't want you around and I promise you the team doesn't want you around. We are an elite program and one man has been at the helm, while we had an undefeated season and will be a preseason #1 team.

It was one game. He sh*t the bed. Get over it or please stop calling yourself a fan and call yourself what you really are: a brat.
