people, stop with the "backing into the ncg" garbage

It wasn't JUST luck, but as with all of Miles' teams, they have to lose a few to win a few. The teams typically look worse towards the end of the season, lose a few games, and then win big bowl games or NC's. I wouldn't say that was just luck, but it took a combination of factors to get in the NC. It's just a specific characteristic of Les Miles coached teams. They don't finish the regular season well, and tend to look poorly coached and not crisp at the end of the season, then redeem themselves when their back is against the wall in a bowl game. I don't know why Miles lovers can't just accept this as a personality trait of his teams, and quit crying about someone pointing it out or complaining about it. It is what is is.

PLEASE excuse this cut/paste re rant...

morons and ranturds who just can't let it go.

i counsel people to give me $20.00 everytime they continue w/ a resentment. you owe me $20.00 if you want to let it go.

coaches and positive people cannot live healthy productive lives carrying resentments.

while watching these other bowl games, i see lots of mistakes (read: LOTS OF MISTAKES) and i am sooo grateful for les miles. sure, he makes mistakes, but i forgive him as i forgive you.

we got beat by two heismans, the #1 and #4 teams in the whole fricking country, not only to mention the S.E.C.!!
COM'ON, what if the ref had given us 2 seconds (or what we deserved...3seconds) after the tolliver catch.

i mean, you can keep beating the dead horse, or you can bring up all the other mistakes that we made (especially during our wins.)

"Misery loves company" is a popular saying b/c it is true. the negaturds and ranturds just reenforce their own low self esteems with these rants.

i'm on my way to so. cal for the holidays, and i am damn proud to wear my colors. esp just to watch the usc turds eat crow.

reality is real.

The point, as always, with Les Miles coached teams, was that it was NOT NECESSARY to be lucky, we were good enough to not lose vs. Arky and never even have to depend on other teams in front of us to lose.

Replace Miles with Saban and Arky with Florida (coached by Zook) and you have the situation for 2003. 7-19 at home.

We had to rely on hawaii and co to get into the NC game.

Perhaps I'm wrong and maybe you can correct me. But if my rantard memory serves me, Saban never lost to Florida or any other team. In fact I think in the 5 years he coached here, his record was 150-0 and the average score of all the games was LSU 105 Opponant -17

then what game can you replace the Kentucky game with in 2003?

---

So now we have changed the parameters from never needing a team ahead of us to lose and other teams to change the BCS points to include

"it should not be a 2 loss season"? What does two losses have to do with it when all teams in 2007 had it and we were the best?

Isnt that the whole point of the championship - first among equals.

It is naive to equate two seasons and compare the losses in one with that in another.

It is likely that the top 5 teams in say 2004 could have beaten the #1 teams from 1996-2000. But because they were all playing in the same year -only one team could be #1 and the others had to settle for #2 - #5.

I think you just set the record for most posts in one thread. Holy shite! We get the point. Wait, I think this was meant for your other thread that you, also, beat to death.

so, let me get this right, rantards get to perpetuate ridiculous myths all they want but when resonable fans try to interject some rationality, that's unacceptable. if you don't want to read it, don't click on the thread

But now you're deflecting in order to try to make your point, I didn't mention Saban or 2003, and don't care about him when trying to make Les Mile's arguments. Miles' weaknesses are so glaringly obvious, they stand on their own and don't require a comparison to Saban.

I was trying to make a comparison with a known standard.

Popular Presumption (maybe fact) : Saban is the best coach in college football today.

Saban was the previous LSU coach and led us to an NC.

I am trying to make the comparison that the same "luck" was needed in order to get to the national championship title game and the similar goof ups happened during the season.

I could make similar comparisons about other coaches and programs but given that this is lsu- the saban example was the closest and easiest.


I rejoice in both the titles/seasons and thank both the coaches.

Therefore I find it illogical that we are differentiating between the two seasons and titles.

your job is simple. quote something i said that is completely false or unreasonable. that's it. it has nothing to do with absolutes or opinions. and try to do something more mature than max's emoticons. they don't really address the issues and people can see that he has no substantive response.

The 2007 was LUCKY to get into the NC game because of other teams losing

---

as i said, if you're going to say that then THE ENTIRE SEASON IS NOTHING BUT LUCK. it's not. again, people are focusing on the ark game and forgetting lsu's resume over the course of the entire season. name the team(s) who had BETTER resumes than lsu.

Since national championships were voted on after the bowl games starting in the late 1960s, no team has ever won a national championship losing 2 games besides the 2007 LSU team. So, obviously getting into the national title game with 2 losses, including a loss in your last regular season game, is not at all luckier than any other championship.
