Is Les Miles hat bolted to his head?Really he seems like he is just going for broke no matter what ..like what the heck he’s going to be coaching at Michigan next year anyway.

First of all, the ballsy call wasn’t that ballsy. It was the right call given the kicker and the clock — don’t be fooled by shoddy analysis by the guys in the booth. Second, if Less is college football’s George Bush, then something needs to be said about Urban Meyer failing to call a quick time out to preserve an extera 29 seconds at the end of the game and Tubberville pooching it to LSU’s upman with a minute and a half left to play and only up by 1. For goodness sakes, why not just launch one out of bounds if you don’t want it returned. Those were two istances of terrible coaching that may have cost both teams wins. As it stands, however, LSU is still a 3rd ranked, 1 loss team with a bye week to try and regain the precision they had at the beginning of the year when they were laying waste to Va Tech. If they beat Alabama next week, they should be able to rest up through the 3 remaining scrimmages before the SEC Championship and bowl game — and by the way, Less has a pretty good record in bowl games.

I don’t think this can be screamed enough: In conference competition does not indicate how good the conference is. It only indicates relative talent.

The average team in a conference will have a .500 record, so if you want to compare conferences, you have to look at OOC record. And the SEC has that in spades.

Also, Appy State and SDSU.

Miles= stark-raving genius. Should have been 3 or 4 seconds on the clock. Not sure why Tuberville didn’t throw a fit asking for time on the clock.

I’m curious why everyone thinks this is so insanely ballsy. They left it a little closer than necessary, sure, but there would have been time for the FG try after (at least two extra seconds ticked off after the catch). Why take one shot at the win when you could have two? If they can see that it’s man-to-man coverage, why not go for it all?

@ #36

Love the Usual Suspects… I do think that #13 was your best post, IMHO.

Is Les good or just plain lucky? This is three in a row that have come down to the wire. LUCKILY we got two of them. Will we be so LUCKY against Nick Satan and the Alabama boys? Not if we don’t come in with a vengeance and strike early, take a good lead and keep it. This come from behind stuff is going to leave LSU in the dust of someone else’s national championship if the lines don’t stand firm and the penalties don’t stop. Les may have called some gutsy plays, but he wouldn’t need them if we didn’t get behind and stay behind until the end. LSU is a GREAT team and it is time for them to start playing like one. The initial games are easy and we look super, but now it is the tough SEC teams and we need to rise to the occasion and win not play catch up. Come one Tigers let’s chew Alamaba up before they know what hit them. We all want to see you guys win the national championship so let’s attack these last four games.

Hey Sherlock, if Vandy, a conference opponent (who almost beat UGA recently) beating USCe means the SEC sucks, what does Michigan losing to a I-AA App State team (who now has two losses) and Minnesota losing to a team that is entering I-AA THIS YEAR mean about the Big Televen?

Not buying it 34. Now that even the veneratable ole ball coach was bested at Stratego by the head coach at Vanderbilt (and yes, I don’t even know the fuck’s name) tells me that grey matter is indeed in short supply in the SEC. Given that Spurrier was one of the few who could walk and chew taffy at the same time.

I get it now! So THAT’s why he always wears a “ballcap” on the sideline!

“It’s such a fine line between stupid, and clever”-Les Miles daily affirmation, says it 5 times upon awakening and 5 times before going to bed….or

“I’ve wrestled with reality for thirty-five years, and I’m happy, Doctor, I finally won out over it….or

“I am Mata Hari, my own master.” or

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he didn’t exist…

I would say Les Miles is more Leeroy Jenkins than Col. Kurtz. And at least he has plenty of chicken.

Re #16, it is amazing that Les Miles has been able to coach those lovable, overachieving scappers from LSU to narrow victories over Florida and Auburn, relying on nothing more than superior talent, more experience, multiple 4th down conversions, generous officiating decisions, and the greatest HFA in college football.

Come to think of it, maybe it’s the SEC hater that comes out as grey matter challenged in this discussion.
