How about no.

100% agree.

As others have said, JD is the much more possibly accurate comparison. No idea why OP went with Burrow lol

we didn’t suddenly become QBU churning out 3 Heisman tier players in a decade

100% disagree :pimp:

Arch was going play for Texas as long as Sarkisian was there.

I haven’t followed recruiting in years, what is the connection here between Sark and the Mannings?

I cussed enough that I was embarrassed and had to reassess a few things.

This is something a lot of fans need to do.

I hit rock bottom after UT 2005. I was so irrationally angry after leaving the stadium, but I had a real wake up call as I made the trek home.

I was coming out of my student section phase of life, and with everything happening in the state at the time I realized there had to be some perspective when it came to these games we all love watching so much.

I was not a fan of the Miles hire. I wanted Spurrier, but Saban dragging his feet blew that for us.

Then I wanted any of the other big names out there, not this unproven but undeniably scrappy guy from a mid level Big 12 program that hadn’t won anything of note.


But I had the chance to meet and talk with him multiple times in the spring and fall camp so I had kind of felt like he had a good vibe and energy, and the players I talked to had really bought into what he was selling, notably Skyler, Addai, and Kyle Williams.

The ASU game really helped ease any concerns I had that the stage was too big for him.

Even in the UT game, it was pretty clear the team was prepared, despite all the chaos in the weeks leading up to that bizarre Monday Night Football game in Tiger Stadium??

Yes the game got away from us and I was so angry that it slipped away, but unlike others I didn’t let that define the team or the coach.

I watched with pride as that storm battered and exhausted group of LSU Tigers run the table for nine straight weeks until they just ran out of gas against a loaded Georgia team in Atlanta, a game I saw in person.

And then I was back in that same Dome a month later and watched them exorcise all demons against the Hurricanes in a blowout that couldn’t have been scripted more symbolically.


How anyone didn’t appreciate what that team did enough to give the coach a chance going forward after 2005 I’ll never understand.


What came next was a whole lot of fun for those of us that didn’t have our minds made up and allowed some perspective instead of just digging in that we were right waiting for our chance to say “I knew it all along TOLD YOU SO!!!” :geauxtigers:

Also what happened to the other guy intern? The bartender guy?

He also played a bartender on Rooster, so clearly not an issue with Lawrence not wanting him in the cast

---

Had only watched the first episode when I posted that.

Saw he was in ep2 now. Him turning down JD as a mentor was great :lol:

I do like that the interns will be rotating sort of background players too.

Especially with nonsense like Turk’s intern beating him in a stitching competition, GTFO :lol:

I’m well aware of that.

I’m saying had Etling been the starter going into the season it’s pretty obvious we would have beaten Wisconsin, given how that game played out with Harris at QB.

If we win the Wisconsin game the entire season changes. At that point Miles was already a dead man walking after the A&M ride off into the sunset that wasn’t at the end of 2015.

Win that big road opener with Etling at QB and the Auburn game is a totally different situation that the pressure cooker it was knowing a loss means Miles is gone.

Nothing goes the same if Etling is under center at Lambeau.

We used to watch game after game with all this pure, raw talent on the field, grinding our teeth just hoping he could pull out a second win against Troy—a team we were 20-point favorites to beat!

---

Remind me, how did Saban do against Troy in year 4 in BR?

I’ll hang up and listen!

quote:

---

My gosh, he was so incompetent that for years I actually believed the only reason Miles won was because God looked favorably upon him.

---

Yeah, he really lucked out with Saban landing back in the division and building the greatest dynasty in CFB history!

quote:

---

Then, a couple of years later, I found out the truth about him, and that thought never crossed my mind again.

---

Please, tell us all the “truth” you found out on the rant :lol:

quote:

---

Saw the last play and felt zero joy. I was just as pissed off as it we never won

---

There were a lot of people that felt this way. This place was hell fire for a week.

I was always a Miles supporter but it was hard to fault people that just wanted to enjoy LSU football but felt like the joy wasn’t there anymore, especially from the Ole Miss loss in 09 to UT 2010. That was about as brutal a stretch as any coach has been through.

And on the heels of the pick 6 rally throughout 2008 I really can’t believe Miles was able to pull it all together to go on that historic run starting the next week at UF through the SECCG in 2011.

19-2 with two wins over Saban and the only two losses on the road to Cam Newton and Petrino/Mallet, with an undefeated SEC Championship.


Just an unbelievable run that was erased because of Saban’s media machine and an Oklahoma State “missed” FG in the wake of another plane crash.

Crazy to think what might have been for both LSU and Alabama if we get Oklahoma State in that 2011 BCSCG instead of the Rematch.

Shouldve fired Les after that game and thrown a blank check at Saban

And…. Pat McAfee missed two FGs for West Virginia to help Pitt get the upset!

quote:

Sooners upset them in the Big12 'ship!

---

That was not an upset.

OU had already beaten them and was favored in the game despite Mizz being ranked #1 due to all of the chaos.

Everyone knew they were not really the better team.

The upset actually happened two weeks before when Crabtree and Tech knocked off #3 OU in an instant classic dropping OU below us.

Had that not happened OU plays OSU, not LSU.

Damn 07 was the shite!!!


ETA: This was from the 08 TT UT game but Crabtree still deserves our respect and thanks :bow:

1. I have been saying for years that I hate 3 tribes to start. So, it is nice going back to 2. It's such a better format
