Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010

OLS · 10-03-2010, 04:36 PM

I might get homery closer to gametime. I think it's hard to justify a bet at this point when LSU goes
on offense and I start to get a queasy feeling in my gut. Bama fans don't get that! Why do I have to
feel that? I see that lost look in Jordan Jefferson's eyes and I just have to look away from the TV.

Lost look in Jeffersons eyes? What about the "Clueless" look in "Less" Miles eyes? Did you happen to see the interview after the game? "Just another day in the SEC"!!! IS HE HIGH? Does he not know that people think he's an idiot? WOW! I really hate it for LSU as they have all the talent in the world (except at the QB position) and no coaching. I really don't see LSU getting past the Gators, Auburn, Bama or Arkansas. 8-4 is a good season for some fans/Alum, but not down in Baton Rouge. I sure hope for the sake of a fine football program that they run Miles/Crowton out of town after the season. On the other hand, as a Bama fan, I hope ole Less stays at LSU forever

I may have to take a sign to this weeks game like I did to a Georgia game several years ago. That one said "Keep Ray Goff!" This one of course will say "Keep Les Miles!"

Funny, I think come Saturday, the Gators will be good and pissed off after this past weekend. I'm glad bama's not playing them this weekend......

Need I remind you? These two were responsible for about 80% of the sales of Pepto Bismol in Alabama for way too many years.

Now excuse me while I go wash out my eyes with muriatic acid.

OK, to answer Rocketmann, what do you THINK Les should say in that situation? He KNOWS
he screwed up, but lets not forget, this was a game of Musical Chairs F Ups. Whoever made the
dumbest move LAST lost the seat. Les miles did not substitute all those players, he would have
likely let Ridley win it in the end the way he won it throughout the game, by punishing the Vols.
That was Gary Crowton's doing, "he saw something" he thought he could exploit. So he changed
the personnel for NO GOOD REASON. Granted I am mostly just parrotting the BR paper here.
But LES MILES did not nearly lose the game, the players did that. You had outstanding rushing
and everything else that could go wrong did. Drops, fumbles, ints, you name it, the players did it.
I forgive them, they have issues.

BUT I prefer to look forward. I have more than enough to deal with in this decidedly Bama and
FLa populated thread. LSU has the highest sack total in the SEC. We are 1st in Rush defense.
We are first in total defense. I think LSU has this one. If not, I am already quite comfortable in
the knowledge that LSU is scary bad in penalties, dumb mistakes and poor QB play. I will survive.

Brad,
Hope I didn't ruffle feathers as that was not my intent. I have watched Les/Gary make bonehead calls or just no calls at all over the last 2 years. Miles has this "What just happened" look on his face all the time. I guess if you make poor/no decision and still win, it's no big deal. But what about the games that have gone the other way? Nobody wins them all and people do make mistakes cause we are all human, but DAMN! As I said in my earlier post, I just hate to see a great football program/players not reach their potential because of coaching.

Could be worse.... They could have Houston Nutt screwing up the works for 10yrs.

Oh, my feathers aren't ruffled. This is one of the toughest threads in CA, it's just a real intense
subject with really deep 'feelings' regarding area teams. I do not take anything anyone says
in a bad light, because I am one of the only LSU fans on the board...I get beat on a lot. And if
I have no alternative but to take it, I do. But when I think I have a reasonable argument,
I argue. I can agree with people who say that we are the worst 5-0 team in the country, but I do
not agree that we should be 0-5, or something rash like that. LSU fought and clawed back from
a raft of mistakes by the players with good coahing and horrible, sloppy coaching mistakes with
player heart. They earned their record, no matter how sloppily they did it.

Let's look at another argument. LSU barely beat bad teams. I think that is untrue. In TN, people
know that this team is talented and scrappy and better than their record indicates. They are
just unorganized and as poorly coached as the Tigers.
UNC I think was depleted, sure, but their second stringers played their hearts out, and not all
the suspeded kids failed to play, in fact some serious hitters played but did not "start". I have
no real knowledge about how the UWV game went or where they stood, but UWV is no perennial
slouch. A lot of teams in the NCAA play cream puffs for 3-5 weeks before getting to the meat
of their schedules. LSU plays top teams right out of the gate. So at this point in the season
I am not embarassed by LSU's standing in the league. They could have played any of those
teams and lost. (And LSU plays some cream puffs, just later.)

Don't pay any mind to me, I just pull doggedly for my team and poke the other team's in
the eye. Sometimes the fans get in the way. And I mean no harm to them. I just analyze
the facts I have, ignore the facts I don't, and pass ruthless judgement, lol.
