Wait.. 10thTiger said ticket sales are down and Alleva will be fired by the end of the Month....



Yes, and I believe others have also written, blogged and claimed that the sky is falling which will soon result in Alleva being shown the door.

Now that may still happen but, by now, people should be skeptical of those who claim to the inside scoop. As the saying goes, "believe half of what you see and none of what you hear."

And you believe them having no numbers to back it up, like practice scrimmage passing stats. This is a lie until he shows hard numbers and they won’t. Baseball attendance is more accurate.

I just want clarification so when we go 7 and 5 you can’t come back with “we were a young team”, “the talent just isn’t there yet”, or some other excuse.



The only missing piece now is a QB. Nearly everything else is in place.

The QB position is still weak. It's not strong enough or experienced enough to lead us through the schedule next year.

We'll see if O can break the trend established by Miles.

By year 3. If the QB trend hasn't changed by then, you have to go a different direction. That is solely on O.

What's interesting is that O gets a lot of heat and blame for the losses to Troy, State, and ND. When in fact, those games were lost by the defense. Yet, Aranda is NEVER mentioned by the fans. Just O is the worst hire ever in sports.

What happened to all the people who said they were "done" and weren't renewing their tickets?

Who’s fault is that? Can O not get our QBs ready? He’s the head coach. It’s his responsibility to get all of these players ready to play their positions or if he can’t, to find someone who can get them ready. Were the offensive hires he made a failure? If we didn’t have a QB on roster capable of performing at the level we need to win championships, why didn’t Orgeron find us one?

do the ticket renewal owners not understand that Orgeron is still the head coach?


It’s crazy! It’s like they’re willing to support LSU regardless!! How dare them?

Depends on what you mean by the term waiting list. People had the chance to get on the waiting list this year just like every other year. However, last year, every person on the waiting list had the opportunity to actually purchase tickets. I would assume the same scenario will take place this year.

I could also see them using a little sleight of hand with the 95% number. They may have taken actual renewals and combined that number with the number of individuals on the waitlist to get the 95% number. We'll see.

I think that number is total bullshite. People couldn't give tickets away last year. I dropped 4 personally and have spoken to many people who have done the same. I seriously doubt with the cloud surrounding this program only a handful of tickets became available.

He is the head coach, correct? Who's responsible for getting the players ready to play? Aranda's defense can't be out the entire game, the offense has to do it's part. O is going into year 3 and under his leadership and tutelage, he hasn't shown much to be optimistic about. Beating Auburn was a big win at the time, I will give him credit for that but aside from that, there's not much to cheer about.

The wins and losses fall into the head coach's lap.

Right, see above.


And in the bowl game, who's responsible for making a terrible decision to kick it from within the 1 when we had struggled kicking the ball all game? Aranda? Or the actual head coach?

Guice, Williams, any number of players could've scored. We had less than a yard to go.



I've said it a bunch of times before and I'll say it again, it's completely up to him at this point. There are no excuses. He's hired all these analysts and so forth. He gets through this upcoming schedule with at least 10 wins, that'll make me change my tune.


Win the west and I'll be on board.

Going to be tough to do with the only three QBs on the roster being guys that were identified by, evaluated by, recruited by, and committed to Miles.


For all the talk about how bad Miles was at evaluating that position, recruiting savant Orgeron certainly hasn’t put much of priority or shown the ability to find better guys than Miles did.

19 months into Orgeron’s tenure and he hasn’t secured a single commitment that Miles hadn't already gotten himself.


So we fire Miles because of his failure to improve the offense and QB position, yet his own DL coach is given his job and promotes Miles’ long time TE coach to OC and is relying on all of his QB recruits. Not to mention is totally dependent on Miles’ DC to keep him in every game he has ever coached.


Thank God we got rid of that idiot who was so embarrassing he had to be fired in September because he clearly had no idea what he was doing and are now relying on the very people he hired to fix what he supposedly broke.


fricking brilliant plan all around.

There is no chance I am giving up my season tickets. Have Georgia and Bama at home this year. Have worked hard to get great seats. My displeasure in the direction of the administration does not stop me from supporting the players and the university. When it comes to making changes happen do you think the powers to be will listen to a longstanding ticket holder or someone that dumped their season tickets after a 9-4 season?

Luckily the contributors on TD isn't an accurate representation of the overall fanbase.

I have a question for you Ree. If this board is so full of bullshite then why are you always here ? Its like you try your hardest to make O look better than he actually is and make it appear his public perception as a HC is better than it is. It will all come to a head this year, either he's the man for the job or he's not.
