BBQ

Plus a reminder of one of the best post-game interviews in sports history. He woke up that day as Todd Peterson and went to sleep as a legend.

I've said it numerous times: Les Miles would thrive in today's game. Design an offense around the power I with a fullback leading the charge and clearing the gap, allowing the half back to break into the second level, and you'd dominate today's game. Add a QB who can deliver an accurate pass to a receiver running a post or fly route on a play action, and you'd run up the score.

Teach a line how to build a pocket, and teach a QB how to work a pocket, instead of abandoning it to scramble away from his pursuers (a lost skill these days).

There isn't a defense out there built to stop that.

I think you're the best troll ever, except I think even more that you are serious. We did this for the last 5 years of Les' tenure.

1st and 10, I formation, 22 men in the Box, run up the middle. 2nd and 10, I formation, 22 men in the box, run up the middle. 3rd and 9, run a 6-yard slant that would have still been short if you completed it but no worries incomplete. Fourth and long punt. Great defense so you hold the other team to three and out. Rinse/ repeat.

Yes you beat every team that you were physically stronger than which is 9 or 10 a year because there is no risk and no real chance for error. It's a glorified rugby scrum. But then you play Bama and watch Leonard fournette running to the middle of the field where all 22 players are and go for 15 yards on 35 carries.... and end his Heisman campaign

I hear what you're saying. Defenses are different now so it would work. I'm all for an occasoonal I formation package, but that was some terrible football to watch.

We just hired possibly the best offensive mind in college football and you are literally saying the best thing we could do is bring the offense into the 1970s. I'm as ready as anybody to get away from the draw out of the shotgun in short yardage that has not worked since the Bush Administration . But I'm not ready for all I formation all the time again.

Used to get excited about this but it's not really a part of the game anymore. All fair catches, touchbacks, or penalties if there's an attempt to return.

It was fun watching Todd Kinchen, Eddie Kennison, Skyler Green, Trindon Holiday, PP7, TM7, or even Chad Jones do their thing. But the rules have kind of legislated that out of the game.

Just going to say it. I know most of you either love or hate will Wade cuz we hear about it on every thread years after he's gone. It was a very exciting time for LSU basketball but his advantages are now gone.

He showed up at LSU and immediately started pulling kids from New York and other places seven states away that had no connection to Louisiana or Baton Rouge. Not sure he'd even unpacked yet and I remember saying this guy's either the best recruiter in college basketball or he's cheating. I know I know everybody was cheating but he had kids coming from long distances with no connection to a program that had been terrible for years. Just supposition, but I think he was more committed to passing out money than the average program even though there was money going under the table everywhere. So much more aggressive that he's making the calls himself and paying the funds out of his own checking account.

What's his value x's and o's? Was he Elite there. No. Good coach but that is not what set him apart. What he was best at is now legal.

Seriously, he was fun but for all you guys that are still begging for WW to come back. Now that money bags are completely out in the open and everybody's buying players what specific advantage does he have?

I'm not being argumentative, I'm really interested to the answer to that question.

Wait till we go for it on 4th and 7 on our own 35 and don’t get it! ?

You mean in the first quarter against the Clemson

Bout 350

I called it when they called the touchdown back and put it on the six inch line. Said we would line up in the gun, run from 6 yards deep take a loss, and have to burn a timeout.

We had three timeouts at the time. Wasting that time out means you had to recover the onside kick. You throw four times. If you don't score it's over. If you do you have three timeouts left. If you recover the onside kick you have a chance. If you don't recover the onside kick you can still make them punt with 3 stops and get the ball back. It's a low percentage but at least you have a path to Victory

I am a hack and am already screaming that we can't run and burn a time out there because it literally means we have to recover the onside. Why is it somebody making millions of dollars a year not having that thought before calling that run.

LSU spanked UNO. UNO beat TCU on the road. TCU beating #6 Michigan with 7 minutes left.

So you're saying there's a chance...

It really is all good but I truly don't understand the downvotes.
I don't understand how even one person can't understand that spending 54 million over 6 years for a non-contributing entity will absolutely cut into what we can spend on our roster going forward.

Chris Hilton is a speedster. We really can't protect long enough to throw a ball down field. His advantages disappear when every ball but one for the entire game was thrown less than 20 yards in the air.
