I actually think we will beat North Carolina and Vandy, in addition to ULM and McNeese. I do agree that all the other games are "up for grabs". No, that's not correct...we'll no doubt lose the rest. I don't think we'll win any of them.
You have to look at it this way...the remaining teams either have great talent returning (example: AR), or if they do lost a lot of starters from this year's team, they at least have better coaches (example: MOO ST, ALA, Auburn, and FL...whoever the coach is will be better than ours).

He is not going to win me back. No way. Not that I wouldn't give him the chance, but he is not capable of doing what would be needed. Miles is a great man, loyal to this players, a good mentor. But he's not a good game day strategists, and that's what he needs to be if he is ever going to truly be an elite coach.

I agree, but I am just addressing the end situation in this post.
The offense and playcalling issues, I believe, will be repaired by Coach Miles after the season ends, as is the norm for most head coaches with class.
-------------------------------------------------
Fix it at the end of the season??? Why didn't Miles over rule the OC's passing calls in the first place. That would have fixed it right there...and given us the chance to win. But no, he's got to let his OC "suggest" a pass play and then allow it to be called, after he's seen JJ take sacks and an offensive line that couldn't block their grandmothers.

re: What's the point of LSU even going out on the field...

I agree. No sense getting any of our players hurt in a game we can't win.
Let's hope that we don't end up in the Cotton Bowl against any of the Big 12 teams. We don't need a New Year's Day embarrasement. I would rather get the Peach or Indy Bowl where we can pay a team we can beat, and end the season on a positive note. We're going to be on National TV next Saturday and get embarrassed for the 3rd time in about 5 weeks. That's enough for one year, don't you think?

Do y'all really think Bama is going to come into Tiger Stadium and beat us down?
------------------------------------------------
"Beat us down" may have to be defined in order to answer this question. If you mean that they will totally dominate the game, my answer would be "not going to happen". But, if you mean that they will win decisively, then my answer would be "absolutely". Reason is that they are playing better football than we are. Its really that simple. They have just as good a defense, and they have just as good an offense. The difference is DISCIPLINE and PREPARATION. Bama has both, and we have demonstrated neither consistently.

re: Is Anyone Even Giving Us a Chance Against Bama?

We have a chance just because we're going to show up. No chance if we don't. However, when we do show up, our chance of winning is about as good as hell freezing over. This team is good, not great...not even real good. Bama can afford several mistakes and still win. We can't. Bama will commit a few mistakes...unfortunately, so will we. And our mistakes will cost us. Period.
re: LSU no. 15 in Coaches Poll and AP Poll
Posted by PappaJoe on 10/26/08 at 9:06 pm to tigersince79
This poll is not relevant. Don't know why anyone would even refer to it. The Coach's Poll and the BCS Poll are the one's that count. The BCS is the most important, and they have us at #19. That's where we are. If we don't beat Bama, even if we win all the other games, we'll remain around this ranking at year end. We won't beat Bama...and everyone really knows that...so don't expect much in the rankings for the rest of this year. Start now working on 2009.

I wonder how they would fair if they would have to play in the SEC every week.
--------------------------------------------------
They would probably be around #19 just like we are now. Yes, the SEC is the toughest conference in the nation, but we're far from being at the top of the SEC. Doesn't matter how much talent or star rated players you have, they've got to perform. No more excuses. Either get the job done or wallow at the lower end of the BCS rankings.

re: What if Coach Miles signs a new contract???
Posted by PappaJoe on 11/28/07 at 3:39 pm to JawjaTigah
Coach Miles signing a multi year extension would be great for LSU. It gives us a really good (not great) coach...one with all the values we need to lead our program and our athletes. It also gives us the stability we've been wanting and not having to settle on a lesser quality individual to get that stability. SIGN NOW, MILES!!!
The best thing I can say about the posts on this thread is that it seems most people support Miles as our coach and his "conflict" between the MI job and staying at LSU.
I hope Les stays. He is the type of person that we should want coaching and mentoring student athletes...teaching them more about life after football than the wins/losses of the game. Miles has character, credibility and loyalty. He is a players coach...and I like that. He may not be the best public speaker, he may not be the best "game day" strategist, but he is a good coach. He recruits well, and he is interested in doing the right things for the right reasons. That's enough for me to want him around for a long time, and I'll take the wins he gets as icing on the cake.

re: Do you think Mich will still offer Miles?
Posted by PappaJoe on 11/24/07 at 8:54 pm to ElysianArmsAlum
I don't know if MI calls Miles or not, but I think its a win/win situation for us either way. If MI does call, then we have the luxury of cherry picking from some of the best coaches in the country...and I think Skip and company will be very careful to do just that. If MI does not call, then we still have a coach with character and credibility, who also is a great recruiter and evaluator of talent (re: the star rating system sucks). That counts a lot with me. Those who want Miles out because he lost 2 games are "hurting" because we blew what seemed to be an excellent opportunity for the MNC. But we've got to remember, at the end of the day, we want a program that is on solid ground, with good management, and a bright future.
Parity does exist in the SEC, and in all of college football nowadays. Any SEC team that goes undefeated either had a lot of luck (including escaping multiple key player injuries) or played a cupcake schedule. And that goes for FLA next year, even with Tebow and company.
Miles may not be the best "game day" manager and strategist, but his players are loyal, and that means good leadership. Football players need someone to mentor them for when their playing days are over, and Miles is a good man for that job...and that means more to me than an ocassional MNC.
