i read some of the Miles bashing threads on the GTsites, and after reading 40 or so of them, i wanted to make a post. But I didnt feel like signing up.

i would put something like how miles hates GT and calls you funny names and wants to eat your children...etc...

gawd, that site is riddled with sore losers and cry babies....phuck em

Which site are you looking as?

I hesitate to criticize other coaches of running up the score, as I can definitely see CPJ holding a grudge towards a team and doing such a thing in the future.

As for the , I could sure use one. Stupid Falcons.

Visting fan +1

One point (and in my best Jim Mora, Sr. voice) - "A few? Come on, a few? A few threads? Rantards looking "clueless/ignorant/classless"? A few? It takes a herculean effort to keep them from forming a critical mass and imploding the whole site.

GT fans, collectively, are probably guilty of a repeat bout of overconfidence. Since LSU fans are never overconfident, we can call you guys out on that. Also, LSU fans never whine after a game, particularly one with a lopsided score. So we got you there.

In all fairness and in defense of Georgia Tech, the views of a few do not necessarily represent the views of the majority.

I am sure that I could go through this board and find a few threads that make LSU look "clueless" or ignorant or classless, but that does not extend to the entire fan base.

The majority of Tech fans left before the fourth quarter because the game was so bad, and couldn't care less what happened in the final 15 minutes.



Good post gmlane

FWIW, Miles wasn' trying to SCORE on the fake punt, he stated that they were in an alignment where we should try it. He had wanted to try it for a long time.
I think Miles was just trying to get a first down and run some clock. After all, there WERE 10 minutes left. Also, Miles had the luxury of being able to experiment for next year. If it had backfired, GT would have had the ball around midfield, not the 20 (like where LSU got the ball when GT MISSED their fake punt.)

I don't think Miles is petty enough to run up the score because Johnson laughed at a press conference about Miles option defense. The circumstances might have just dictated that a smile would have been appropriate.

Miles congratulated Johnson for several seconds at midfield after the gamel it was Johnson who looked uncomfortable in Miles' grasp, like he coudn't wait to get away from the man.

Also, LSU was not the favorite here. GT was the overwhelming choice by 80% of the public and probably 99.999999% of the media.

I agree totally.

Only exception is when you are in a mis-matched game from the git-go where the heavily favored team continues to pile points on the Little Sisters of the Poor. aka OU.

Even then, if it is the second and third teams doing the scoring it is ok.

But in a bowl game - anything goes - show off your team - let the kids play.

Exactly! We were the underdogs playing in their hometown. We heard about their great system and how we weren't going to be able to stop it. Why punt and give their deadly triple option attack a chance to score to let them save face (like Penn State). If you can't get the ball back from our offense, tough. Hell, LSU's fake punt was the second worse fake punt call that day. They should be pissed X 100 over that one.

Miles was a first class idiot at Ok St and no one in the Big 8 or in Oklahoma had any respect for him
Someone told me if it was not for low class Miles would have no class at all
He has almost run out of Sabans signees so just sit back and for LSu to self destruct


Miles doesn't seem to be doing bad for a "first class idiot".

GT is lucky they weren't playing the Okies who are notorious for running up the score!!

LSU traveled well, they were polite, classy, and very cordial. Tech fans can learn something from these guys...I had always heard bad things about LSU fans, and maybe if they had lost it would be different, but they were very nice.

Guys, instead of dinging on Miles for doing his job don't you think that Tech should be apologizing to Chick-fil-A for wasting their time inviting us this year? The integrated showing tonight was simply pathetic in almost every aspect (special teams play, penalties, etc.) -CE


my favorite

they bitch cuz we beat them by 5 td's(and it could have been worse, only a feild goal in the 2nd half). if we wouldn've won by just one td, they'd still be on hear saying that they almost beat us.

It is the entire board...but you are right, it's not the entire fan base.

Omg! Talk about rude! We cant help it they cant win the Chik-Fil-A Bowl game and we can. Which I think we are 5-0 in btw. And calling Miles low class? And we are running out of saban's recruits? I thought all of saban's recruits were already gone when we won the NC and those kids graduated. Us self destruct? we are going through some growing pains but we have been and always will be a great team. I c AL isnt the only ones having a meltdown.

About that GT-Cumberland 1916 game, I recall a quote by Coach John Heisman at halftime to his team. It went something like "OK boys. Don't let up in the 2nd half, because you know how sneaky that team can be".
