Brian Kinchen

Good balanced point Goldengirlfan

 

Pretty much the way I feel. :thumb:

 

I won't argue the point that LSU's defense lost some of its luster over the course of the year and its stats reflect that. But to bad mouth Flynn and Miles like he did is inexcusable. One wonders what BK would have had to say if he had been able to get tickets this year. His father was a great LSU booster and fan, and is likely turning over in his grave right now. Way to go BK.

 

I agree, but if he loves the university like he claims, publicly dissing Miles, who is fighting for respect as it is, doesn't do LSU any good.

 

Hey, if he wants tickets, then buy tickets! I bought mine and I know he's got more money than me. Brian Kinchen has some very valid points, but he has always come across as a negative personality to me.

And to say we don't have much of a running game is TOTAL BS. We ranked
2nd in the SEC and 12th in the nation averaging over 210 yards a game on the ground. Add to that the fact that both Flynn and Ryan P. are great runners who can take off at any second and that comment is just dumb. Williams, Hester, Scott, Holliday and Murphy... Come on, what was he thinking when he said that? None of them put up gigantic stats because Les likes that rotating thing, but they are all damn good.

 

Come on people. This is exactly how you move up in the media driven world. He's a sucker.

 

I personally feel it is disgraceful for someone who attended LSU on a scholarship (whether or not it was a financial necessity) to publicly denounce the university and its athletic program just before they are to appear in a national championship game.

It is one thing to give a critical evaluation of the team this season – yes we all have criticized the failure of the defense to live up to OUR expectations. But to perpetuate the Saban/Miles and Miles is not a good coach myths is just inexcusable.

If Miles had given him tickets and that would have changed is tune, then I really feel sorry for the man.

The Kitchens family has given a lot to LSU over the years, but frankly, it just got wiped away by one irresponsible act.

 

The same thought occured to me.. isn't our offense dependant on our running game?
