drexyl, I'm not going the read the rest of the post but I thought that the game was 'Football"? Are they making these rules up to protect the non-innoncent or p***y O. players?????? The rule changes are getting like the original constitution of the U.S., very much in askewness!!!

Another rule I don't like is this idiotic tackle box rule. IMO, if you can't get a pass out to an actual receiver you should have to take a sack or scramble - or take an intentional grounding penalty - no matter where you are standing on the field.

with the computers rating us for BCS, I think we should try to win big.

:confused: Computer rankings do not take into account margin of victory.

The "biggness" of a win is determined by your opponent, not by the score. The Florida game last year was a "big win" - despite the fact we only won by 3. The Kentucky game in 2006 was NOT a big win - despite the fact we won 49-0.

Lets eliminate the chop block, face mask, clipping, and blocking below the waist rules. It's stupid to protect the health of football players.

---

Well heck, we need to protect their health, lets make playing football a penalty.

Better yet - let's continue to add more and more complicated rules to the game until the game is so riddled with absurd regulations that the team with the least penalties always wins.

Question is should we have went for the score at the end of the game?

---

No. We go for the win at the end of the game.

Lsu lost to florida, had a mediocre performance against SC. next two weeks we blow out our opponents and the media will be sucking our dick like its cherry coated.

I can't believe that you seriously think that winning the next three games by any margin wouldn't be enough to get head from the media. Georgia is BCS #7 and Bammer is BCS #2 - do you honestly think that if we - the #13 team - beat both those teams by just one point, the media would be down on us? Yeah right!

If that means putting up an extra TD on an opponent, then he needs to do it.

OK, but it doesn't mean that. Can you even point to a single team that failed to get into a bowl game because they didn't run the score up enough on their opponents?

I've been reading around here a bit and finally decided to sign up, and I notice that a lot of people are disappointed Les didn't run the score up at the end of the USC game. The suggestion that Miles didn't do the correct thing by killing the clock instead of going for a score is absurd.

But it has nothing to do with "class" as some are suggesting and 100% to do with winning. Miles killed the clock instead of going for more points because, out of all the decisions available to him at the time, it was the most likely to lead to victory. I know he is known for gambling - but he truly isn't a gambler - he just likes to make the call that will most likely to lead to victory. When you are losing to Florida by 20 points in the 4th - the kickoff most likely to lead to victory is an onside kick. When you are up by 7 against USC with under a minute left - killing the clock is the most likely path to victory. We pay the man to win - not to look good doing it.

Going for a TD or even a field goal when all you have to do to win is kill the clock - while risking that the play gets mucked up and the other team gets lucky - is just stupid. We call that "bad coaching".


Margin of victory is not figured in to the BCS computer polls, and if the pollsters truly cared about margin of victory, they would not have sent the LSU Tigers to the National Championship last year on account of our near losses to Florida, Auburn, Alabama, and Tennessee, and our meer 24 point margin over Tulane.
