there is absolutely no explanation for letting the time runoff with a first down possible and 1 TO
i'm quite sure there's an explanation, however i didn't agree with this decision either.

Thank so being your natural morphine downer.
Here's my view. The mistake was to not call TO after second down, and leaving us no TO's after 3ed down to call TO with 3 seconds for one last play. Les did not want to risk a punt or field goal block, and had we sent the Offesne out GA would have called TO - either forcing us to punt or do a hail mary potentially with enough time for them to do one back at us if we failed and had time had time left on the clock. I understand why Les played it this way-- didn't like it, but it was not a major coaching f... up as you are making it. Conserative yes.

No...no you're not. You sound fcking miserable.
The way you see yourself is not reality, the way others see you is, because we're unbiased.
We all see ourselves in certain ways and trust me, YOU are not viewed as happy and upbeat.

Miles has indeed made some utterly ridiculous coaching decesions

I actually think it was a good decision to not try the FG. A 58-yarder would have been nearly impossible, and you run the risk of having it blocked and returned for a TD, which would have completely changed the momentum of the game. The fact they didn't try a Hail Mary, though (not even a true Hail Mary, i.e. 55-70 yds, it was 40) was beyond stupid, though.

Why do you want to focus on that no call, instead of the brilliant calls to run Scott twice off-tackle when no one in the world was expecting it.
I think the question should be where does this great call rank with all of the other great calls Les has made.
If you want to focuse on crappy calls, focus on the one Richt made to kick to Holliday on the last kickoff. That thing at half time pales by comparrrison.
If you are just looking for something to complain about, you can find something in every game on every team, high school, college or pro.

on the list of mind-numbing coaching decisions by miles in his time at LSU?
is this as bad as trying to call a TO after an interception?
not going for 2 after the (very) late go-ahead TD against AU in 2007?
calling timeout and THEN reviewing an obviously non-overturnable call against Bama in 08?
thinking malleveto could DC a defense
and countless others
Let it go Jake, it the grand scheme of things it's just a game.

I think once they saw us run it on first down, they were expecting it. More a function of bad tackling on UGA's part than a great call on LSU's. I didn't exactly like the fact that we seemed to be playing for a 45 yard FG to win it. I don't think Scott rumbling for a TD on that play was exactly in the plan. I'm very happy we won, but the strategy in that case was shaky I thought.

I couldn't agree more...the morons on this board act like this was the most horrible coaching decision in the world...when it was not that big a deal. We couldn't go for a first down because if we missed the clock would stop at the change of possession and then they would have a chance to do something...
Even if we did line up and throw a 40 yd hail mary...what are the odds of it being completed...5%? What are the odds it is intercepted and returned for a TD? 3%? Is it worth the risk?
Quit making this into a huge indictment of our coaching staff when it was really an incident that could have been handled better but is not some magical indicator of poor coaching.

You are one of those pathetic hard headed people that just can't seem to be happy unless they're miserable! You must lead a very miserable life!

It ranks right up there with all the times Saban did the same thing. The only difference is that Miles admitted he should have tried something. Saban would never admit he did something wrong.
