re: What are your REAL thoughts on the LSU program?

Well CEO damn sure doesn't fit his style

First off, let me say that, as a long time Tiger fan, I've seen some deluded people around the program.

Example: at the end of Curley's awful tenure, there were people sporting bumper stickers in BR in Summer '94 that said something like "We support Curley".

That said, and knowing I will be bashed by the "We support Curley" crowd (you are out there and you know who you are -- I did not support curley and didn't have that sticker):

I feel disinterested and find that the games are not fun to watch for the last two years for the most part. We don't dominate crap teams like we should (not every case but many), and make bonehead mistakes week after week. Meanwhile the coach just paces the sideline and shows little emotion.

Bringing in Chavis, I think everyone agrees, was a smart move. 12th ranked offense in the SEC is unacceptable for LSU. I hope Lesticles makes a move and fixes it like he did the defense.

I don't want him gone and I respect what he's done, but the lack of preparation, enthusiasm, and discipline on the field are alarming this year.

It is just not fun to watch the Tigers as it was in past years. We look sloppy and unmotivated in many games.

Doesn't speak well for the coaching and although Les may not be personally to blame, he is responsible for the product on the field. That is the bottom line and that product, although better than 80% of our opponents, is still not very good
IMO.

I'd rather see a team that can execute without making bonehead mistakes all the time. Mistakes that have me cussing the TV and slapping my forehead while watching the games.

I have given up my age-old tradition of drinking alcohol on Saturdays. Combining drinking with the slop on the field lately has proven, in my case, to be a volatile mix unfit for public consumption.

That said: I hope we win out, and Les makes a move to improve our offense for next year.

Well said

they want the team to look crisp, improve every week not get worse, stop looking unprepared and disinterested, and challenge the good teams and beat them more often than not, and handily beat the teams that they should beat

Just beat a team up and down the field for 4 quarters, just once, and I will be ecstatic!

Miles is like a night watchman at a plant. He lets people come and go through the gate and makes sure there is order but has no idea how the plant actually runs.

It looks to me like this shoe fits. I hate it, because sometimes those night watchmen are the nicest people. But when it comes to running the plant, or the football program, staff, personnel, they just aren't the ones to go to, to get the job done.

It's actually one of the best analogies I have read on here in a while.

damn you are dumb too

or an idiot with an agenda

How dense does one have to be to think that a man who has won so consistently, in the toughest conference in college football, has no idea how to run a football team? shite, the man even played college football. But yeah, I'm sure he doesn't even know what a first down is.

---

no they are implying that he doesn't even know what goes on inside his own program (the plant)

that he just sits outside the gate oblivious to the processes going on around him

I am never disappointed with increasing levels of stupidity when I read the rant

quote:

I never thought I could get to this point, but there is just something about the current state of things that just uninspires me.

That's because being pissed off all the time takes a lot of energy.

JK


But I do understand what you mean. As any one that has read my posts lately knows, I am tired of the constant complaining by LSU fans. But I can understand someone saying they are not as excited or being uninspired. Obviously I don't know you or how old you are, but I think this happens to everyone at a certain point. For me it was the year after I graduated from LSU. It wasn't so much the team or the "lack" of intensity from the team, as much as it was just me. I began to realize that there was many more things that I had time to do that were just as enjoyable as LSU football, and because those things were "new", they seemed to get my attention. Thus, I lost some energy for following the team as obsessively as I once did. But you don't have to be obsessive to be a good fan,, but you (not meaning you directly) don't have to prove you're a fan by constantly bitching about things on which your perspective is limited...........something like that.

Just cannot figure you guys out who fail to give Miles any credit whatsover in his tenure.

I do give him credit for past accomplishments, however, the trend is your friend.

Other than Auburn, of course.
