WitnessLSU

Some of y'all need to calm down. He's 16/17 and 6'4". I remember being 6'3" at that age and prolly weighed 165 pounds. He hasn't had time to even "fill out" his frame let alone bulk up. Tall people know what I'm talking about. He's naturally long and lean. He's not malnurished or anything. After a redshirt year he'll be up to about 200 pounds which will be right on pace.

Sometimes if you flip Miles' sentences around (invert the order of sentences) he makes sense. I think he's a bit dyslexic.

Try it out. Read the second sentence, then the first. Then it makes sense. It works with other things he says too.

:lol:

I watched the game with a few people who have no affiliation whatsoever to LSU and four out of four of them said the new unis were tougher looking and they should permanently change. We all thought they looked like gladiators with those helmets. However, the "L" should be changed to "LSU" if it's kept and the purple stripes on the shoulders/sleeves should be more pronounced.

That's exactly what I'm saying. However I have to disagree with you. After this blunder, I think Miles will go for someone that costs over $500k and can "do it all." I don't think Miles is as prideful as people think. He really does do a good job of recognizing his ineptitude, stepping back, and allowing his staff (in various capacities) handle game preparation and management. Am I giving him too much credit?

I've always liked Miles because I felt he did a great job of delegating responsibility. He always recognized his faults well and had his staff make up for it. But, game management he has to control and he has proven time and time again, for years, he cannot. Thus, he must go. The sooner the better. And if these "Positigers" keep an unbeat outlook and keep supporting LM then they will ensure LM stays for at least a couple more years thus tearing the program's recent success apart. Get rid of him now.

I don't even think Les Miles would score triple digits on an IQ test.

Amazing. Ya know... I was watching that game here in Albuquerque yesterday afternoon. Cooking up some boudin and jambalaya for my New Mexican friends and everyone of them is unbiased. (Even though they loved the food) Yet everyone of them, women included knew the FG team was supposed to run out on the field and kick that. Whenever you've got four women who rarely watch football screaming for a team they don't even care about you know something's amiss. LSU needs to fire Miles this week. This just made the program look so damn stupid. How could any recruit feel confident in being coached by Les Miles. GEAUX AWAY LES MILES!!!

:geauxtigers:

This is huge! In my opinion, getting recruits this early is a tremendous help. These kids are prolly going around garnering all kinds of positive attention about LSU. Excitement and positivity breeds excitement and positivity. Nice pulls for LSU!

:cool:

I'm out here in Albuquerque and I'll tell ya in the past five to ten years LSU has started making a name for itself. Before the last two NC's not many people had heard, or knew of, LSU. Unless we're talking about the most ardent of college football fans. Now, even so/so college football fans know about LSU. And being that I'm here in the desert, that's a good thing. This is great news for recruiting and such. P.S... Quite a lot of us New Mexicans are from CA and the LA area specifically. They come here in droves trying to escape the nightmare of urban sprawl they created.

:geauxtigers:

I know for a fact Louisiana is not a "blood red state." Look at the polls from the past couple decades if you think I'm wrong. I have several friends and family from Lake Charles to Baton Rouge. I would say it's about split, just like the polls show true for Louisiana. Louisiana is one of the more evenly balanced southern states. Other than Fl.

But no, to answer your question I have not been to a game yet in Tiger Stadium. I might go to grad school out there and the football program actually weighs into that. haha.

I see what you're saying about opposing fans, etc. and that makes sense. The point I was trying to stress was that allowing alcohol served and stricly limiting the amount and situations when it's served is very possible.

How about this... Why not allow every legal adult to have 2 beers throughout the game. They can get their hand stamped. One stamp on each hand. If someone wants to go through the trouble of washing it off and going back let them. They obviously need it that bad. If this were implemented what would happen. First, you may be less likely to sneak in a flask of hard liquor which is certainly going to effect you more than 2 beers. Second, you're generating loads of revenue. I'm not gonna start crunching rudimentary numbers here but it's a certainty. Third, The fans tenacity and loudness wouldn't die out. My cousins have told me that the reason why the volume dies off at times is because everyone is exhausted and messed up from tailgating all weekend. So, consuming just one or two beers during the game would help prevent that and keep it loud. Fourth, it would send a message to visiting tourists about Louisiana culture and liberties. But that's only to people like myself who listen to Ron Paul and such. However, in my opinion that's one of the coolest and most righteous things about LA. The right to live your life the way you want to live it.

Those reasons are why I say allow it, but only allow a couple per person. Stop sales after the third quarter. Isn't that reasonable? :usa:

I go to UNM and they don't allow it whatsoever. We even have pigs patrol the tailgating section to pop underagers before, during, and after the game. Not only that, you are NOT allowed to leave for any reason at halftime. If you do, you have to buy a new ticket. All this BS keeps student attendance waaaay down. I have so many friends who are true football and lobo fans but will leave after the game starts to go to local house parties/bars to continue expressing their American given right to consume copious amounts of liquor. And for what it's worth, I'm 29 and all my friends are my age. Yet, we even leave for many games. Plus, we're the freaking Lobos so we are usually .500 at best. But I guarantee if I could watch a 42-35 Mountain West shootout while nursing a beer I would stay for sure.

What I do know is that every day we are having our inherently granted liberties stripped to "protect" other "free" Americans from being offended.

There are so many ways to regulate the sale of alcohol. Carding people at entrance if they think they are going to drink, stamping people for every beer served, or if someone is too wasted don't let them enter at all.

The ironic thing here is that most students are already liquored up to their satisfaction on entrance and probably only want two or three beers per game to act as a chaser for their flask or just keep their buzz "just right."

Ok, I'm done. Thanks for listening. Oh and for what it's worth... I've converted two new sexy female LSU fans in the last year alone! haha. That's doing your part.
