In his 9th season at LSU, the Tigers have been in national championship contention talk in 5 of the previous 8 seasons: 2005: Going into the SEC CG, LSU needed a Texas or USC loss to possibly sneak in along with a win over GA 2006: An excruciating loss to Auburn early in the season (official's blown no call) prevented us from being in contention 2007: National Champions (undefeated in regulation) 2010: Needed an Alabama upset over Auburn and a win over Arkansas and then possibly jump over non BCS and undefeated TCU to sneak in 2011: Undefeated in the regular season in the SEC (a rarity) 2012: An excruciating loss to Alabama, LSU probably goes on to win it all with a win
Good thread. Check this perspective out: On the way home I'm hearing all this "fire Will Muschamp" bitchin' that's all over the radio around jax this week. But one host challenged a caller asked people if they knew what Urban Meyers record was at UF before Tebow showed up? (14-12) What I thought about was how impressive Les has been WITHOUT top flight QB's. Now THATS impressive. Honestly try to imagine where the LSU program would be if we got a hold of Mettenberger the same year GA got Murray. Imagine Mett being a 5th year senior and 5-year starter for LSU this year like Murray has been.
They were 9-3 in 2005. Not sure where he got that stat. They were 7-5 after Tebow left in Urban's last season. So 16-8 overall without the Timster.
Muschamp pretty much sucks and lack of qb is one of Miles' flaws, not strengths. Imagine what he would have done with a qb! Where are we headed next season?
Everyone who bitches about miles never offers up an available upgradable replacement, he wins a lot of games, keeps us in the mix every year for a championship, yes he's an idiot at times......and he's our idiot, I'll keep him.
