How Many Games Should LSU Lose Each Year?

Well, if you single out that one post, I would say happy f'in Thanksgiving, too. I am not "branding" anyone, nor am I offering a one-sided argument, and I am not saying Miles is "beyond reproach." That's being melodramatic. I am trying to counter all of the negativity that has seemed to be omnipresent on this board all year, and hit a tipping point for me in the 2nd quarter of yesterday's thread. If you look at my post in the Sidelines that Isltl created about Miles being "a fucking idiot", you would see a balanced argument that points out Miles' weaknesses, but tries to offer some balance, and the big picture. Goals and expectations are subjective and shouldn't be absolutes, IMHO. Most high achievers start w/ "acceptable" goals, but also have in mind "optimal" goals, and "ultimate" goals. For me, LSU has achieved acceptable goals, and I want to convey that to balance all of the negativity that seems to be prevalent here. I have clearly said Miles is not perfect, and that I want and expect us to be National Champions year in and year out, even though I know that is not realistic. I also respect many posters who point out concerns and imperfections, including you, Shane, Tiga, Cajdav, BayArea, Exile and many others. That's all good.

By the way, Happy Thanksgiving. I hope all Tiger fans had a lot to give thanks for beyond football.

I'm being melodramatic in response to others who paint critics as haters. Not necessarily you. I'm really glad to have someone argue in defense of Les Miles, at one point this year things got so bad that *I* felt the need to start a thread defending miles.

Glad to have a respectful discussion. Happy thanksgiving!

Yes he is winning at a ridiculously high rate. I don't believe 1 team monopolizing "Crystal footballs" is good for college football at all. The reaction I've seen from other fan bases is about the same. "Saban again...Yawn".

Funny, Saban has been built up so much, the college he's currently coaching is almost irrelevent. They're just his latest "Creation". Lost their identity & don't even know it. Might as well rename the University of Alabama...U of Saban.

Personally, I would never want LSU or anyone to win it all every year. To me, it takes away from having a truly special team. I'm sure many will disagree.

Here's a recruiting question/statement . Most know about CRob & probably Hootie to Bama. To me, it's easy to go to the "Sure winner" right? Ultimately you have to ask one question of a recruit: "Is this guy a leader or a follower?". Again IMO, give me the player that reallly wants to help out, not the one going for the ice-cream.
