Sounds like the NEGATIGERS 
need a spoon full of sugar to help the medicine go down. Reading that article did make me feel like a ghost writer, though.

"Does TigerDroppings.com actually endorse your bit of silliness?
Miles is VERY explicable. He's the intellectually average (at best) beneficiary of LSU's strong recent history, excellent facilities, and outstanding recruiting base. And of serendipity, I'll hasten to add. Would ANYBODY be proclaiming how great Miles has been if it weren't for one of the most prominent chokes in history (West Virginia's)?
To proclaim Miles a "winner" at 9-3 because he improved upon 7-5 is comically disingenuous when last season's record was of his own making.
Furthermore, to accuse LSU fans critical of Miles of WANTING the Tigers to lose is pretty damn offensive. Not too many LSU fans make $4 million per year... On the contrary, we buy the tickets, buy the merchandise, and pay the taxes that give us every right to criticize overpaid underperformance. Nobody with good sense who witnessed this team this year could be rationally impressed with its coaching. "
Rex, this is very well written, and logical too! Well done sir!

I am not angry at Miles. Sorry if my post was misinterpreted. I was directing my anger at some of the false or at least disengenuous statements he made. I hate cocksuckers like Rex much more than I hate Les Miles, or anyone else who actually supports LSU.

There are nine other SEC teams behind them.

No QB. Had RP not been given the the boot Tigers could have done better. What would Florida have won without Tebow this yr and last? How did Stoops and Carroll do this yr with young QBs?
When you played,did ya'll have success with young inexperienced QB?

With that as the background, Les has had unimpressive wins and coached us to a loss. The fact that fans are unhappy with him this year does not make them negative, it demonstrates that they understand college football. Also referring to this year as an up-year in the sec and noting that lsu was 9-3 does not tell the story. Les coached us to a 5 and 3 sec record with two victories angaint 6-5 teams and one over vanderbilt. Not impressive. In conclusion, Lsu's record this season does not tell the story of this season. It is like looking at a pitcher's win/loss record instead of his era. Fans are not negative for their disapointment in les.
Amen, brother. LSU's 2009 SOS is 52nd overall, with opposition's winning percentage of 51.7%, based upon aggregate records of 61-57. Remove UF and Bama's 24 W's from this and what do you have? A very unimpressive win list, that's what.
NCAA
How about Bama,Florida,Texas,Boise,and TCU?

WTF? You are delusional.
Even IF we win 10 games but have the talent to win 12, the coach has failed!!! Moron!
You CANNOT go by wins alone, you have to go by how much talent is wasted. Without poor coaching on offense, LSU is undefeated and playing for it all, therefore, 10 wins suck sausage...
3 losses is an underacheivement for LSU with this team!!! That is how it is when you are an elite program>
LSU does not have more talent than Florida,Bama,USC,Texas,Georgia,Oklahoma,or several other teams. LSU has been handicapped by inexperienced,first year QBs.

Rex,tell us about your coach. How do you know what goes on at practice? How do you know who should be playing? Are you at practice? Have you ever participated in a football practice? Get your flute out of your arse!

"LSU was in the top tier of SEC teams when he took over. Clearly they are not right now. Celebrate him when/if he gets them back to big boy status in the league."
Uh, there ain't but 12 teams in the SEC. The only two ranked higher than LSU are 12-0, ranked 1 and 2 in the country.
I don't know what your definition of "top-tier SEC teams" is, but that would certainly seem to qualify for me and I would think the vast majority of others.

BS! How many off last years putrid defense made NFL rosters? Most are back this season and playing much better.
It was a lack of coaching and Miles was responsible.

This is JL's 3rd year in the program. You telling me in 3 years this kid still can't throw a screen pass? Either he's terrible or his coaching is terrible (or both). I'm leaning towards coaching to be honestly. Just don't make excuses, not every team in the SEC has a senior QB, and nearly all of them are getting better play from the position than LSU.

JJ is in his first yr as a starter and is only 19. He is the one that can't time the screen as he releases it way too soon Have not seen JL much this year. I do believe the booing and negativity has damaged his ability to play up to his potential.
JJ should improve with experience.
When you played were you as polished as a first yr starter as you were later in your career?
Awaiting your response.

Good research, deSandman.

Don't be silly. There's only one important statistical criterion in football: total offensive yardage ranking.
Seriously, though, nice job lining that up.
