In the scheme of an entire season is the context of that post. You don't agree? You think if Ohio St. is to lose a game this year their season is over?
College football is a different animal than every other sport. Even in pro football losing a game really sucks but it doesn't necessarily mean the season is over. A Seattle team that was 7-9 went to the playoffs this year.
When you lose in college football, unless you get pretty damn lucky (which we have), you're season could be over as far as a SEC title or NC is concerned.

Lucky for 6 years? Your support for Miles is really showing.
For realistic folk, losing a game might mean a different Bowl game....or not.

Hahaha, good logic. Ohio State is only slightly better than LSU.

Dude why have you decided to just make shite up? Post one thing from me in the past that would indicate anything but support for Miles? One thing? I implore you to find something that would indicate I've been negative towards Miles throughout his time here.
It's utterly ridiculous that you would even attempt to act as if that is the case considering it's completely unfounded and bullshite.

Are you really this fricking stupid? It was to give context to the discussion between college basketball and college football and how losing in college basketball doesn't really mean anything in the scheme of an entire season. It's really not tough.

This basketball... it's tearing us APART!

I'm actually happy about it, now at least our head coach is not a total douchebag

You posted he was "Lucky". Having a 75 yard pass touched by 2-4 Kentucky Football players & having it tipped to you is lucky.

No I didn't call him lucky. I said it's lucky to win the SEC or NC when you lose a game. That's true for anyone because you are then relying on other teams to lose in order to give your own team an opportunity to play for the title.
That isn't an indictment against Miles. LSU hasn't been undefeated in sixty years, it's tough. Saban didn't go undefeated. So when you lose and win a NC in college football, it's luck in the sense that others lost as well. It's not luck in the same way you beat a team like Kentucky.
I say that because there have been other one-loss SEC teams that have not been fortunate enough to win the NC, like UGA in 2002 I believe when they won the SEC and beat FSU in the Sugar but did not win the NC.
Again, not an indictment on Miles by any means.

When I watch them, it makes me want to jump off a cliff. Very disappointing.

Would anyone support a football or baseball coach that won only 1 or 2 SEC games in a year?
I remember a lot of posts last year thinking "just wait until next year/we've recruited well/etc." This is next year and LSU is 10-14, has 2 SEC wins, has been blown out by our two biggest basketball rivals (Kentucky and Alabama), and at least one of the current players is unhappy with the coach regarding some promises made while he was recruited.
The good news is that the program isn't sliding downhill anymore.
It is high time that LSU emphasize basketball in Baton Rouge. Either get a hired gun or dare I say it Johnny Jones. Promote the team around the state like Daddy Dale Brown did and get some excitement stirring. Recruit better and play an up tempo 40 minutes of hell defense run your arse off up and down the court style ball. Even on a good day, which hasn't been in a long long while, Trent Johnson's style ball is boring and does not fit the athleticism of recruits from the south.

I was agreeing until you said Johnny Jones. Keep him as far from LSU as possible.

I'm with you there Jester. I know there are alot of Dale loyalists who have forgiven how it ended and rationalized why, but I ain't one of them.
Appreciate the memories he gave me but we don't have to go back there to experience success.
I'm very disappointed in much of Trent's bench coaching and his early recruiting/evaluation, but he'll be here at least another year and recruiting does appear to be improving so I'm gonna give him next year. He's gonna get it whether I give it to him or not anyway.

Sure, I'm stupid because you are making a dumb fricking argument. Ohio State is UNDEFEATED, a far cry from LSU. Ohio State could afford to lose 3 games and still be a one seed in the NCAAs. LSU could win out and not sniff the NIT.
Basically, if you really feel that a loss doesn't matter, why keep scores? Sure a single loss is less meaningful than in a 13 game season, but that doesn't mean we should be happy with a 1-point loss. It's a damn shame.
It's a good thing for us that those 14 losses are just one game a piece, right? It's a damn shame you can't make up some way to claim that wins count as 2, then we'd have a decent record.

Just throwing a name out. Jones is family for better or worse. Like that gold chained cousin you only see at Christmas. For the first 5 minutes on Christmas Eve you're jealous because he drove up in a Corvette. Then you realize he's a douche but moderately successful.
My point is that the heads of the University need to make a change. Basketball has to be promoted in this state and to do so will take an exciting young coach with a fervor for promoting Louisiana Basketball. Much like Skip Bertman did in his early days and YES even Dale Brown did in his early days. LSU can be a contender in basketball. As down as the SEC is in the sport it's there for the taking. One or two schools are going to step up in the next 2 years. That school might as well be our Tigers.
Trent Johnson does not have these abilities. He may prove to be a good coach but he's just not the right fit for LSU and Louisiana.

Yeah, I'd just rather not bring back a coach that was involved in paying players. We would instantly be under a microscope from "the gestapo" as his old boss would say.

Touche!
How sad is it though that we have fans that are apathetic enough to accept a 2 win SEC team? Mediocrity isn't acceptable in a Athletic Department as credible as LSU. Louisiana State should contend for the division almost every year. The Basketball Tigers aren't even mediocre at this point.
