re: So... We are 9-3

9-3 is simply not acceptable to me

I'm certain it's not acceptable to the players, as well. Many of those guys say 10-3 isn't acceptable, but it's encouraging that they really want to dominate another bowl game, not just for the seniors but for themselves, the guys coming back & the recruits. And, of course, the fans.

And not just the die-hards who deserve street-cred (and you get it from me, too) for supporting LSU for so damn long. Just don't always expect everyone else to feel exactly how you do if they weren't born yet or didn't attend LSU until recently. We can co-exist (at the games, anyway...).

Look, 9-3 is what it is, and a solid bowl win over a Big-10 team in Fla. gives us a 2-win improvement, which is big in the SEC w/all the obstacles LSU faced just last yr. and this season.

Also, beating Iowa or Paterno St. will help for next yr., when Miles and his staff has to put up or shut up, 'cos the fan base (not just on the Rant) just isn't as forgiving as it used to be.

First, gotta hit a home-run with a new OC, Porter's replacement & a few others. Get all QBs ready (& w/the OL especially) and get them to improve or replace them.

Probably a thread in itself, but I think LSU needs to get a JC transfer w/enough skills in case (or when) JJ goes down--even for a game or 2--so they don't have to rely on a young guy w/out experience like Garrett (whom I like, anyway), or RS (whom they have decided can't play QB) and certainly never J. Lee).

There's so much to do, but that's why Miles get the big bucks. But every team has to fix this or that, replace so-and-so, etc., but LSU has enough talent and time to do it.

As a Fla. fan, I implore you to please beat 'Bama again Saturday (and having no more starters arrested would help...), and then destroy McCoy & Texas. Please.

I just want to be clear. You'll take 9-3 with no SECCG every year with a $3.8 mil coach?

---

Maybe I should have said I'll take 9-3 over 7-5. I'm satisfied with the record for this year.

I'll take 9-3 as a minimum amount of wins, occasionally winning the SEC and rarely winning a NC.

Define these in terms of years.

I will also leave you with a thought - if LSU was consistently outgained in each game yet still managed to continually win... doesn't this say something positive about the quality of coaching?

---

No, it speaks directly to the talent covering for the inadequacies of the coach.

The defense got better, and we stopped the INT's. Other than that, the coaching, play calling, points scored, big plays, excitement, player development, yards gained, and individual awards of players are all WORSE.

Parcells says "You are who your record says you are" no better no worse. Our record is better than last year. We are better

Wern't we 9-3 in 04 with Nick Saban...

That's because stupid people are usually more vocal than smart people.

"Crazy" is loud.

ed us to have a better record to but in reality 9-3 is not a bad record at all and i'm pumped about our bowl game.

We are about to play a big time program in penn state who would love to have the success weve had over the past 6 years. Im looking forward to it.

However a very unexciting 9-3. aside from the Auburn game and the end of the Georgia game, our wins have been uneventful.
