re: Saturday's dominance shows this is still Les Miles' neighborhood

I have been frustrated with Miles, after years of supporting him. I am not a negatiger, because I have been a fan for life and I have supported Miles, I guess I have been caught up in the belief that this team has to win at least 10 or 11 games every season.
I know with people leaving for the draft, that is just not the case for this program. I guess its frustrating when you see Bama have the same success for the last two or three years.
That is what Van Pelt is getting at, everyone wants to be like Bama, and who doesn't. I think we can get there, but Van Pelt has a point, I don't know of a coach right now who is a better fit for LSU.
But as fans we have to hope that he get the ship righted, and we go back to our domination. That is my hope, he has had great success in his career. But he has struggled here lately and most fans are of the opinion of only looking at "What have you done for me lately".
So, that being said, Geaux Tigahs, and here is too a 10-3 Season! FINISH STRONG!

I know Miles is the HC and is responsible for everything, but you really think he should have known Mett was going to throw 3 1st half ints to the Rebs?
How does this work? When the O does well its Cam's O, but if struggles its Miles O?
We have had 4 OC since 2010. I'm just guessing, but I'm thinking you are not the only one frustrated by the LSU O.

Any LSU fan still sucking on Saban after he's gone nine years is either a retard or a Alabama troll.

I question whether Copeland even fumbled the ball. The Alabama linebacker, Tana Patrick, very deliberately -- probably not just as an opportunistic afterthought -- knocked the ball out of Copeland's grasp.
I say this possibly because of personal experience. We had just moved to north Florida from north Mississippi in 1959, where as a high school junior I had gained 5 or 600 yards in 1958 from my left halfback position. In our first game in Florida, my "new" Florida quarterback, the very first time I "received" a handoff from him, off right tackle, slammed the ball into my left (upper) arm and the ball went caroming off in front of me five or ten yards, and was covered by the opposing team. No way I fumbled that ball. But the coaches took ME out of the game, not the QB, and I didn't get back into that game on offense.
If you want to say that Copeland fumbled the ball as a "sin of omission" -- he omitted sufficiently covering it up with two hands -- maybe so. But it cannot be denied that the Alabama linebacker, Patrick, was the one who performed the "act of COMmission."
Verne Lundquist branded the play immediately as a fumble by Copeland. My immediate thought was, "Well, Verne, you never carried the football either, did you?"
You learn as a runner pretty quick to carry the ball as snugly as the situation seems to call for. My other immediate thoughts were these: (1) Copeland is a MAN -- "Who's strong enough to knock the ball out of HIS grasp?" Surely this COULD have played into Copeland's own thinking. (2) "I'm already about to cross the goal line with the ball; what could happen at THIS point?"
Going for the ball as they go for it today did not become nearly so prominent until the more athletic Black backs began swinging the ball out from their bodies. This of course was decades ago. But what a photogenic pose it was, until the tacklers (and certainly their coaches)starting catching on: "Say, we could take over the ball instead of just downing the runner, if you would just take a good swat at that thing."
But Copeland, though we didn't get a good view of it on TV, apparently had the ball tucked away just fine. Linebacker Patrick, with a deftly placed swat, knocked it out from his grasp.
This has always been a pet peeve of mine. Originally, the phrase "carrying the ball like a loaf of bread" pertained to the old inexperienced white-boy's way of tucking the ball snugly under his arm, so that both ends of the ball protruded, front and back, under his carrying arm.
Coaches would naturally holler at him in practice, saying,"Boy, quit carrying that thing like a loaf of bread!" The danger was obvious -- all a tackler had to do was tap the ball from the front or back of the runner, and out it would come onto the turf.
When the more athletic Black backs began swinging the ball out from their body, the phrase "carrying the ball like a loaf of bread" was transferred -- "flipped," as it were -- from identifying a clumsy hold of the ball under one's arm -- to the very opposite action, that of swinging the ball out from one's body.
Copeland was doing neither -- he seems to have had the ball tucked correctly, but he lost it anyhow. My guess is that the Alabama linebacker was specifically trained by his coaches how to take a swat at the ball when it is being carried correctly by the back.

redtigerrulz, I don't understand the negativism that you bear, but, if you could change your attitude, maybe you could get out of that terrible depression that you exhibit. even if you are a mental and physical cripple and abused by your dad, you have a chance to be positive, but you may need professional help.
you are in my prayers.
p.s. happy thanksgiving to all!

Ok, I get it now. We need to be Happy with the new norm set. Last season, shitty offense good defense leads to 3 losses. This season, shitty defense good offense leads to 3 losses. Next season, shitty offense and decent defense at least 3 losses. But hey, all you posi-tigers keep saying how great this recruiting class is going to be so maybe we will be saved in 2015, even though, we have had 6 of 8 recruiting classes in the top 10 the past few years. No SEC Championship Game, No BCS bowl game, ranked 3rd in the West for 3 years straight. Seems like 4 million spent well to me.

Each year Miles always loses a game we should not lose. Even during the 2007 NC season, we lost to Kentucky and Arkansas. Miles also has issues admitting his blind spots and shortcomings, therefore preventing him from making changes needed to win championships. Lack of player discipline on and off field, time management/timeout usage, assistance coach replacement, arrogance, unwillingness to make obvious game changes are the things that are keeping LSU and Miles from championships.

Why can't you morons get over the fact that loosing to Saban is not the only f-ing problem Miles has every year. Did you know he now has a losing record to Mark Richt? I am pretty sure we have 3 losses this year you idiots. I could give a crap about losing a game to a better team. Its losing to inferior opponents like Ole Miss that piss me off. You all talk about Copeland's fumble, how about Furman's penalty calling back the touchdown that would have put them ahead at half on our home turf after coming off a disappointing loss to Ole Miss. But no, their no what ifs in those games.

Blackjack.....
Jesus man......are you really so mentally challenged that you can't see your comparing apples and oranges?
I'm not talking about the overall records of pathetic coaches that all your links point to for love of.....good gawd!
I'm not disputing CLMs record meathead! I'm talking about IN-GAME frick-ups as I clearly stated (and so did you douche nozzle). Mistakes that have become more frequent in recent years and have cost/or almost cost lsu games.
You said you don't understand my negativism? You dont understand shite from shinola.
Get your ducks str8 before you come spewing personal venom. Now GFY!

Then GO ROOT FOR ANOTHER TEAM. I am sure Grambling, Georgia, Florida etc.... all have season tickets available. You sound like one miserable piece of work. Get a life and try to relax dude. Damn.

Meathead coaches don't produce those results.
Meathead coaches can be found at Nebraska, one was at Michigan, one was at USC, at Tennesse, and maybe even at Florida.
Your depicting Miles as a meathead only shows how much of a meathead, retard you act like.

I understand your negativism. It's all you and those like you have. You live through LSU and you demand total and complete perfection. The least little mistake gets your blood boiling. You see LSU as an extension of yourself. It is the shinning example of what your life isn't and will never be.
You will NEVER be satisfied with any LSU coach. You will NEVER be satisfied with any game. You don't understand sports: probably never played. Every little mistake, every little penalty, every little miscue serves to remind you if the miserable failure your life is. So you scream and cuss and get all upset when people who are at least 1000% better athletes than you can ever be don't perform to this fantasy world of perfection you demand. You get all upset because a coaching staff that knows 1000% more about the game than you ever will makes a decision that you don't understand or agree with.
It's a pity that you and your ilk can never understand that it is after all a game. The lack of perfection of the coaches/players aren't aimed directly at you. It's not a personal affront. It really isn't.
Negative people are so sad.

Rather than ask those who are supportive of the LSU football program that's been preforming lights out for the most part of the last ten years, ask that of those ungrateful, fair weather, clowns who come here to crap on LSU at every chance.
And he's right. all this continual putting down of the LSU program in a time that program has produced more honors for LSU than at any other time in our football history is fricking sad.

If the truth hurts, it should man.
A constant stream of negativity has never produced a positive result. Not in sports, military, business or love.
Look at the history of great achievers. They tend to be positive. Look at the losers you know in your life, I'll bet they tend to be negative about almost everything.
