This was my first game ever in Tiger stadium and made my decision as to which college to attend.
Your logic fails in assuming LSU's program moving forward should replicate what is has done in the past. LSU currently has better facilities, more resources, more national exposure, and less political interference relative to the other SEC schools then it has in the past. Moving forward, LSU should win or compete for the SEC and national championships as often as Alabama and Florida and more often then every other school in the conference without exception.

Either way I think you miss the point on what upsets most fans. The results are what they are, and Miles winning percentage is what it is. However, for the third year in a row we have had a unit (Defense 2008, Offense 2009 and now 2010) rank near the bottom in the nation. Not only is the head coach getting paid extremely well, but the assistants are also. Miles has continually shown that he can't fix problems during the season and his teams generally don't get better as the season progresses. This will always be UNACCEPTABLE at LSU. Add to this the clock management problems and the continued disorganization (see final LSU play of Auburn game) and I think Tiger fans are very justified in thier discontent.

After watching last night, I stand corrected. Offense plain and simply just sucks due to Jefferson's lack of ability to read the defenses and make quick decisions. Hard to tell who is open without the coaches cam, but on play in particular Jefferson was intent on throwing the out to Randle and almost got picked. TE was running the seam wide the f open. Teams are going to continue to stack the box and play zone defense which will hurt our ability to run and make Jefferson find openings in coverage and deliver accurate passes (which as of now he can do neither). Time to give Lee a chance. I'd rather a few picks than what I saw last night. Just horrible.

Saints Effect

Anyone who reads this board knows there is quite a bit of negativity concerning LSU especially the offensive coaching staff. Admittingly, much of it is deserved based on last years debacle. I wonder though if watching the Saints offense operate every Sunday makes watching LSU on Saturdays that much more brutal. Has the success of the Saints offense changed our perceptions of what a good offense should look like? I wonder if we subconsciously are comparing LSU offense to the Saints offense and thus are over-reacting just a bit. Just a thought.
The bulk of the game planning (i.e. what plays will be put in as part of the game plan) will be done prior to the game with input and agreement from all offensive coaches. Sure the coordinator will read the flow of the game and call more runs if we are running well etc. So its not like anyone including Les Miles, will ask for a play to be called out of left field that wasn't practiced or part of the original game plan.

On another point, it is freaking hilarious to me how some rantards would rather the wide receivers/passing game coordinator, whom has never been an offensive coordinator in his life, call the plays and have the offensive coordinator and head coach keep their mouths shut. Similar to all the Zach Lee hype. I know its human nature to think the grass is always greener, but give me a break :dope: :dope:
I wish all posts on the rant were like this. Very informative and from people in the know.

re: Florida's WR coach the next OC @ LSU?

I've already told you, he's the new OC. Believe it.
Crowton has had previous success as an OC (both college and pro) and as a head coach. How is that working out for us??
Came with Meyer from Utah. I guess we really are heading towards the spread w/ Shepard.

Florida's WR coach the next OC @ LSU?

Word out of Florida Scout.com is the Florida WR coach will be the new OC at LSU per a Florida recruit. NOt sure if BS or not, but interesting.

WOW! Maybe most of you pessimist re-tards' should you just stay home.

UW game hotel advice and question

Posted by lsuandy on 6/11/09 at 8:49 am
This may not come as a suprise for some of you, but if you are looking for a hotel room for the UW game in Seattle, priceline has some really good deals. I just booked 2 rooms at the Westin (4 star - downtown) for $130/night + taxes/fees. Normal rates were between 210-230 + taxes/fees.
If you aren't familar with priceline, basically you put a location of Seattle you want to stay in(downtown, capmus area etc), a quality of hotel (4 star, 3 star, etc), and then bid a price. If it finds something that meets you criteria, it automatically books you and charges your credit card. My buddy did the same thing and got the Westin for $140/night.

Question: I've heard that there are open container laws in Seattle and that you can only drink in designated tailgaiting sections on campus for gamedays. Does anyone know if this is true? Also, we are looking into renting a boat or party barge for gameday. Can you drink on the water?

If by "pretend" to know what I am talking about implies making a solid observation that almost everyone would agree with than you are correct i am pretending. If you didn't notice D. MCcray three steps behind his guy on serveral occasions in the first half and throughout his career than a) I suggest you drink more b/c it works for me or b) I suggest you get glasses

Makes no sense that you would play a safety/linebacker hybrid type player as your nickle back covering the slot, who is typically the quickest guy on the other team. i don't like C. Jones in that spot either. He may be fast enough straight line, but is to big to turn his hips fast enough to cover a 5 yard in/out route close enought to prevent an easy cmp and first down.

Of course I won't, but its nice to see improvement. I have been killing him since he gave up three long touchdowns against Ar-Kansas last year and thought it was nice to see him play well.

Jacob Cutrera and Danny McCray

Posted by lsuandy on 10/21/08 at 8:01 am
Watching the second half of the SC game I think that for the first time ever I was quite impressed with how Cutrera played. I am wondering if I will ever feel this way with McCray. I realize he is a young kid, trying his best, but it is no suprise to me that the defense all of a sudden looked a hell of a lot better when he was taken out of the game in the second half. The coaches were asking him to do things (like cover P. Harvin) that he was just not capable of. Maybe not his fault, but I am willing to bet that for the last two years, on third down passing situations, the opposing quaterbacks first reads are at Danny McCray. I liked seeing Peterson in the slot and feel he will just get better. Comments?
