re: Pic of les & the "clock it" call?

Slanted Hand to the ground... not a finger pointing toward the ground.

Look, if you haven't read the thread, fine, but I'm trying to point yall to the facts so you don't spread shite and get called out by someone in the future for saying something that you actually don't have all the information on.

If you're just looking at the video, you're not seeing everything.

You could even look at Les' mouth when he was making the hand motion and it appears he is saying "down" as in TT was down before the Ole Miss player got the ball.

Here's the issue with JP's claim -


JP states that there is 100% video evidence that Miles was not signaling for a spike.

To make such a claim, one would know what the signal to spike the ball would look like.

If JP doesn't know what the hand signal looks like to spike the ball, then how does he know, with 100% certainty, that Miles was not making that call?

There's no argument. Miles was pointing toward the ground, says "HE WAS DOWN".... and is looking directly at the referee at the 6 yard line. Jefferson was standing at the 50. Obviously, you guys are smart people and you know exactly what he was doing having been given that information and hopefully now watching the video again.

That said, I do agree that the spike motion and what he was doing are easily confused, and I can see why some people would have initially thought he was calling for the spike. Nonetheless, that does not change the fact that he DID NOT call for the spike.


Miles did not call the spike, simple as that. Let's discuss the other bonehead coaching calls in the game, but "Miles calling for the spike" did not happen.


All that said, it does kind of piss me off that Miles was worried about Tolliver being called down when he should have been worried about getting the FG team out there.

is this you les?

It's not obvious one way or the other, so whoever says with 100% fact it was spiked or down is a dumb arse



Why was Miles talking about timeouts with JJ? Did he think we still had one?

It looks to me that he is telling the official that Toliver was down, then Miles tried to get the FG team out but it was to late. He should have had the FG team running out after the play was blown dead. Total FUBAR job by Miles. I wasn't in support of LSU firing him, but if they lose to Arkansas, he should be let go.

I think he is motioning for a spike. Tough loss, but hopefully you guys bounce back against the Hogs.

It really doesn't matter. He's the HC and didn't have sufficient control of his sideline, players, coaches to seal the deal on what should have been a relatively simple deal.

Looking at his gestures, it's hard to say. But even if he was saying the ball is down, he should have been getting the freaking FG unit out there anyway.
