It will be very interesting to see the media do a complete 180 if Miles is let go. I can see the headlines now: LSU UNFAIRLY FIRES MILES 3 YEARS OFF OF NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

After they make fun of him for 5 years, we would get chastised for firing him. Double standard.

Much of the media believes that LSU fans are booing the QB.

You have dozens of other venues to vent your frustrations about the coaching situation without booing what appears to be the 18-22 year olds playing the game

I drop an occasional f bomb or some other profanity when my head feels like it's about to explode. And the guy behind me has kids and I feel bad about it right afterwards. You're right. But in the heat of the moment, it comes out. Much like booing.

But, it has nothing to do with what kind of person I am. God forbid me being human sometimes...

or as if the crowd didn't applaud Jefferson mockingly when he threw the ball away


That wasn't mockingly, they were legitimately happy he made a correct read.

Aren't they? I mean, am I to believe that they are booing Miles when JJ throws an errant pass, and believe they are cheering Miles when Lee comes out to take a snap?



And am I too believe that Miles is so effing stupid that he refuses to start Lee, even to the teams detriment...but he's so sly that he's keenly turned the attention away from himself by calling out the booing fans in the stadium.

I expect the media and our rivals to shite talk us, boo us, and try to poison us. I don't expect it from our own fan base.

How about when you played for LSU or directed a movie, or were president, or were a civil engineer that designed the traffic routes?

It took me until my junior year to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering test which is why I went to LSU. JJ needs to pass the "I can be an SEC QB" test this year to keep up.

Of course many are booing JJ. Many have even admitted to doing so. It's why the fan base looks like trash, it's impossible to distinguish who is booing who.

I didn't therefore I don't criticize a kid for doing the best he can.

I didn't but I don't spend my time writing critical shite about movie directors either.

I didn't but I don't sit around bitching and crying about things I have no control over.


All of which means ...........................I'm an adult.

Now tell me the truth. Making that snide comment about Jefferson made you feel like a big man didn't it? It made you feel powerful didn't it?
Wooooooooooooooooooooo

Its quite ridiculous to suggest that you have to be a former LSU football player in order to accurately criticize the program.

We, the lsu fans, are the ones who want to be on the inside with lsu when they get praised. But when lsu does bad, most of us wanna stand on the outside and point fingers along with the media. Well, im stayin ok the inside. Lsu is not performing and neither are we as fans. Gotta take the lumps now if you wanna be praised later

No way to justify booing


That would be game, set, and match for the booing issue. imo
