That Matt Flynn's wizarding powers enabled him to ensure that LSU's 10-2 record with 2 SEC losses was good enough to make it to the SECCG in Atlanta in 2007, whereas Russell (not a wizard) was unable to ensure that his 2006's 10-2 record and 2 SEC losses were good enough.

Oh...and that unlike Russell, Flynn was able to use his wizarding powers to help PITT defeat then #2 WVU in the Big East Championship Game allowing then #7 LSU to vault them and play tOSU in the BCSNG.


Can we get this engraved?

We didn't make the SEC Championship game. In TigerTown with the talent we fielded last year (and this one coming up) anything less has a bad taste. With better QB play last year we would have won the NC - not Auburn


I am critical of Miles but we had a great season last year. We play in the toughest conference and expecting to win the sec title year in year out just isn't going to happen. We lost by 7 to the BCSNC on the road and to Arkansas on the road...not exactly something to frown on. We also were a few plays away from having a few more losses.

It is a new season with a new OC so lets just be positive. Our offense may be top 30 this year and we could have lapses on defense and special teams that cause us a shot at SEC and BCSNT. So many things have to go right to make the BCSCG.

Flynn current location - > Backup on defending superbowl champion team. Practicing.

Russell current location -> co-op bookstore. buying books so he can go back to school.

If you can qualify Flynn's championship season that way, then you can qualify Miles's championship that way too.

Most people look at the '06 team as underachieving.

But I'm not expecting them to do anything but compete for the SECW, if they can do that year in/year out, then we will have a great time.

Some years they'll have better luck, and some years they won't.

Where is all of this rationality coming from on the Rant?


the ones that expect certain results are the ones that are always on here complaining. Even when the expectations are met...they'll find something else to complain about.

but somehow we get called the rantards.

I agree that the '06 team underachieved. They should have done a much better job against the refs at Auburn.
