Been an LSU fan for 30+ years, but I'm new to TD.
I understand where this program has come from and our new found level of success. I appreciate the fact that we are now an upper echelon program.
But, success is only maintained if you continue to strive for more and not accept your current status. It seems a lot of folks on here take the mantra: "It could be worse" or "At least we're not...".
On one of the military bases where I trained was the quote: "In the pursuit of excellence there is no finish line." I think I like that mantra more.

So you liked the championship game last year.
What a stupid question. Did I like the championship game last year? No I did not.
Who settled for being 12-0 and unprepared? No one, but it is what happened. It is over and we can't go back and change that night. You act like there is something we can personally do to go back and replay the game. We lost. Its over. ND got the shite beat out of them last night also by a Bama team that probably wasn't as good as last years. Saban is being talked about as being one of the best coaches of all time and you morons just think we are settling because we lost in the national title game last year...what would you like for us to do? Hire Saban away from Bama? Fire Miles? If you want to slob on Saban's knob, then go root for the gumps, because you sure as hell seem pretty happy about the fact that Bama has won a couple of titles while we "settled".

Haven't read any of the previous posts have you? Just jumped right in with both feet defending Miles, unquestioned.
It goes back more than last year, its not about Saban's knob (think I used that exact term), NEVER said fire Miles, but we do SETTLE. If you use the excuse that its ok that we won 12 yet lost, or that its ok to win 10, then you settled too.
Read the post right before mine, the one about the finish line.. thats excellence. You may want to go back to the first post and read through the rest of them also, before you go half cocked making assumptions. That looks moronic.

Actually this is incorrect
Figures a Miles pumper wouldnt have all the facts
The BCS bowls are determined by automatic bids, and, where you finish in their poll (See ND, Bama, and N. Illinois). Ask OK if rankings had anything to do with what bowl they went to
And to further my original point. The BCS poll is determined by 2 human polls and multiple computer polls, based on an algorithm of the programmer, that has to produce similar results to human expectations, in order to be used.
Posted on 1/8/13 at 1:49 pm to League Champs
There are other bowls outside of the BCS you idiot. The BCS polls have nothing to do with who gets selected to play in any bowl game outside of the BCS. They actually don't have a hell of a lot of effect on who plays in what BCS bowl besides the championship. ACC Champ is auto, SEC auto, Big East, PAC 12, Big 12, and Big 10 all automatic bids. That is conference standings, not rankings. You can be unranked (UCONN) but if you finish in first in your conference you go to a BCS bowl.
Peking order from the remaining bowls a lot of times is based on conference ranking, has absolutely NOTHING to do with a BCS ranking.
You are a fuking moron.

Jesus, are you dense?
He was attempting to say those SEC teams are ranked higher because they got easier matchups, but we are still the better team
When I point out that one of those teams DID IN FACT beat the easier team we lost to, you jump in and agree with him??

Yes he was saying they got easier matchups in their bowls than we did. Meaning the only reason they are ranked higher is because we lost our bowl game. So you are saying USCe is better than us because we lost to Clemson and they beat them??
So the fact that we actually beat USCe doesn't matter?
You are still a complete moron.

That's why they have 3 championships to our none in the past 4 years. Because for us, its ok to settle for being 12-0 and getting blown out, unprepared, unfocused. It's ok to be 10-3, cause, heck, a 10 win season is pretty darn good.
So I guess every fanbase in football should want they coach fired then? amiright? You Idiots really need to stop all the sky is falling bullshite. What do you want Oregons Offense? How many NC's they won with it?

Once Kent St and N. Illinois flopped around, tons of bowls were affected

La Tech didn't play in a bowl game because they rejected one you fricking moron. They were holding out for a better offer. That is 100% their fault. Nice try though.

Holy shite. It's bad enough that you're talking down on people but you don't know what the frick you're talking about
t-h-e p-o-l-l-s don't mean jack shite. When you hear the term 6th SEC team it means a particular bowl gets that selection spot. Other than being 1 or 2, the polls have no real pull in how selection spots are allocated.
Nice try, though.

Or you could say that a lot of folks say "we suck" all evidence to the contrary. When I was in training, they used to tell us "it pays to be a winner" mainly because if you came in 2nd place in anything you paid a price. Still don't think it's entirely relevant and I don't think you can classify this current program as anything but "excellent". And Miles has multiple SEC titles and a NC. Again, I don' t think this gives him permission to have a shitty year but for chrissakes, they're in the hunt for the SECC game just about every year now.

We sure played like we belong that low in the chicken bowl!

No. This is complete strawman fallacy. Wanting improved offense and gameday management and wanting your coach fired are mutually exclusive. One doesn't have to be tied to the other.

Holy hell, paired with our defense, we would never lose. Literally.

Actually I agree with your comment. I may not have stated that as clearly as I should in the first part of my previous post. There are a lot of extremist views in both directions.
My opinion is that this team is very good and will likely continue to reload every year and compete unless recruiting severely falls off. The question is what this team needs to do to take the next step from contender to champion.

While I am glad that we are in the 'hunt' every year, it sure would be nice to have won more championships. We certainly had the teams to accomplish that goal.
