    No. Thankfully the people in responsible positions in the LSU administration and the big money boosters are more in touch with reality than some of our fans.

    He's right. Win in the swamp and everything is better. I love college football.

    He’s right…how long will Miles be allowed to keep fooling loyal LSU fans? I’m hoping his time is up.

    But this part is super revealing:

    What I don't get is how all of a sudden having your team keep control of the ball and erase time on the clock is a bad thing?

    That's the essence of football.

    I understand that this was beyond "too close for comfort", but I am astounded that people are actually upset that LSU took so long and took so much time off of the clock on that final drive.

    There is a balance to be achieved here. Yes there are times we need to run off the clock. But most of the game we must be able to take advantage of our opportunities. A team that is consistently slow getting the plays on the field will get fewer plays run during their time of possession. Fwer plays = fewer opportunities and results in a Bottom-5 offense.
