I never was good at English, but are people who still live in the Saban era, or worse, think he's coming back........ are they dangling participles?

Iceberg? I don't see Kate Winslet around here do you? LSU lost to a Top 5 team on the road.

As for the "Most Talented Miles will ever have", Does 4 Star Zhamal Thomas have as much potential as 2 Star OL Peter Dyakowski? Jai Eugene or Chevis Jackson? Charles Scott/Keiland Williams/Richard Murphy or Jacob Hester/JV/ Alley Broussard? What about Big Al Woods? Don't you think he might have a terrific future ahead at LSU?

The short answer to your question is no.

just my .02 but I still think LSU is as good as anybody in the SEC. I thought they would lose to Au and UF ONLY because they were on the road. If those games were at home chalk up another W. They weren't so we can't but beating UT is possible. Since Bama isn't going anywhere I'm pulling for you guys to win out.

OK, it's Tuesday morning...I thought the crying and whining would have settled down by now(I was wrong!).

I was very disappointed in the team's performance on Saturday. Do I blame it all on Miles? NO. Should I? No. Sometimes players just don;t make the plays. Did you guys ever play any TEAM sports? You win as a team, and you lose as a team(ask TO). Miles didn't fumble the snap to JR, he didn't muff the punt OR the kickoff for that matter. As for the interceptions, hell most of you have been BEGGING for Jimbo to open up the offense and 'stop trying to run soooo much'...well you got your wish and you don't look like too smart a coach right now do you.

I swear I think alot of you people just wait for something bad to happen so you can bitch about the coach. Well, go to the archive and listen to what alot of people said about Saban.(alot of the same things...especially after the loss to UAB). That and you always want the opposite of what the coaches are doing. When Mauck was QB, everyont wanted MR, then you got MR and wanted JR, now you got JR and you want Perrillioux or Flynn. When are running the ball, you're mad that we don't open it up. Well, we threw alot against UF and here we are again..."The sky is falling, the sky is falling..." Relax, and enjoy the wins. In the SEC, it will not happen every week, I don't care who your coach is.

By the way we have another game coming up, the 24 hours of crying over the loss should be over by now.

Thanks for the encouragement but I am worried you are trying to soften us up for the LSU/BAMA game this year:wink: I am sure you hope we lose at least one.:thumb:

Next year will tell the tale of the Les Miles era at LSU. Even though I still haven't forgotten it, I'll throw out the meltdown against UT last year. Given the circumstances, a one loss regular season is nothing to be ashamed of and harshly judge a coach for, and he got us to the SECCG, so he should get a ton of credit for that. The failure to show up in the conference championship is what gripes me the most to this point. But the excuse can be made it was his first trip to the championship and it was a learning process. The excuse can also be made that this is his first true season on the road in the SEC against top level competition every week. Miles will not be fired after two seasons, so I'm content to sit back and watch things play themselves out and not stress about it either way. Next year though, it's put up or shut up in my book. With a senior qb and the schedule swinging back in our favor, the learning curve and time for excuses will be over. Let the judgement of Miles begin Septmeber 1, 2007, and I think nothing less that a trip to Atlanta with a good showing there, win or lose, should be expected.

Under the "circumstances," a one-loss regular season is acceptable? I would think under ANY circumstances, it would be acceptable.

And I'm tired of the Saban lovefest. He did a good job, but he had easily as many lapses through any season and a half as Miles has. Could it just be possible that BOTH of them could be good coaches for us?

Miles has yet to accomplish what Saban has. That isn't a slight on Miles, it is just the truth. Saban had down years, but despite that he built relative consistency and confidence in the fan base.

In 02 how confident were you in Saban after VT dimantled the tigers on tv? How about after the Auburn, Bama AND UAB losses? After it took a 'bluegrass miracle' to beat Kentucky?

Don't forget, just because the grass looks greener on the other side, it doesn't always work out that way...

We just need to take a breath and put this game in perspective, too many mistakes were made and couldn't be overcome. Yet the team never laid down.

Maybe you'd like it better if I rephrased it. Under the circumstances, blowing a 21 - 0 lead (24-7 4th quarter lead) to UT is acceptable to me. And I also meant under the "circumstances", last year was not a year to judge Miles on, one loss or four or five So, hope it makes you feel better...nevermind, I really don't care. If you're so damned quick to jump on any comment and turn it into a negative about Miles, I couldn't care less what you think.

And what was Saban's record with his own talent in his last year at LSU???????Oh yes I think that would be 8-4...I loved Saban he was a great coach and a classy guy but he was not perfect....and I do have some doubts about Miles, especially after hearing Jordy's halftime report that the team was confident and animated at halftime and the coaches were saying just eliminate the mistakes and our talent will take over....that is not the intense atmosphere that a huge game in FLORIDA requires.
