PrintQuintessential Less miles making absolutely no sense , the only thing consistent was Alabama's defense sticking it to LSU over and over . The Last 3 shut outs of LSU have come at the hands of Alabama 1996, 2002, and now 2011.
LSU is the first team to be shut out in BCS history, they also have the dubious distinction of being the only 2 loss Champ , Les Miles is finally exposed as the idiot we all thought he was, they were under prepared , out coached, and out played by Alabama . Not to mention the shit talking they did before the game , here are some of the quotes we had to hear before the game " you cant beat us in the Dome ", Miles owns Saban", " Lsu is the best football team ever " these smack talking swamp asses deserve the beat down they got. The one thing about talking smack is it taste like shit when you have to eat it. Roll Tide

I watched the press conference with Miles and his players, and they were absolutely humble, congratulatory, and respectful. No need to hate on them – just enjoy what we have ;)

They were definitely humbled.....
even I felt a little bit sorry for them (they’re the better Tigers in the West).

Agreed.
Miles isn’t an idiot. The guy is a solid coach. We were the better team, there really isn’t anything more substantial to be gleaned from this game.

I agree.
It’s easy to think someone’s an idiot who doesn’t articulate stuff well in interviews, but Miles isn’t running for president…he’s a football coach, and he clearly communicates football stuff well enough to his players that he’s gotten them to two NCs in less than 10 years. No way he’s an idiot. Also, from what I’ve read about him, he seems to be a pretty decent person as well. No need to bash him just because he is struggling to find an explanation for last night while trying to deal with deep disappointment about the game’s results.
As for their smack talking, I think our side probably would have done our share of that if the game had been played in T-town. I’m not gonna fault them for any “protect our house” talk they did. If that’s how they roll, it’s good by me.
Let’s just win with class, bask in the glory of yet another championship, and leave them alone. We’ve done more than enough to them already.

Actually, I thought their offense was very consistent last night
by zeke2029 on Jan 10, 2012 10:59 AM CST reply actions 8 recs
Their defense was, too!
Last night held a plethora of consistencies: every single member of the media, with all of the purple ties, was ready to crown LSU Champs before the first snap; Vegas was consistently for us; our entire team was relentlessly excellent; our smiles never stopped. An amazing night of consistencies.
I’m thinking that wasn’t the word Miles was going for….

They do...
…have a lot of good fans, and I won’t let the young woman who looked at me and said, “Fuck Alabama!” or the young ‘men’ who shoved their way past and over old men, women, and children inside the ’Super’dome convince me otherwise. We met lots of hospitable LSU fans before the game in NOLA, and afterwards, the most that any of them had to say was “Y’all beat our asses” and “You’ve got a great coach”….

Ive never liked Miles
up until this year. Honestly that makes me hate the team even more … I DONT WANNA LIKE ANYTHING ABOUT LSU !
He’s not an idiot Hes a great person and his team LOVES him. They came up short – albeit very short. Doesnt take away anything else they did this year, and with the exception of us – it was nothing short of complete domination
Agreed.
I don’t dislike Miles (and that was true before last night).
Miles seems like a nice guy, but he's gotta remember one thing...

BCS GAME
Did anyone notice when the Bama players came out on the field, that about six of the LSU players went over to them. I heard they started trash talking right then. If so, I’m glad, look who’s laughing now.
caps
Can anyone explain the championship caps to me!!!! Don’t quite understand.
I'd like some official word
but I think they made the emphasis on “D” in DONE since its no secret our D is what made this team.

It's about class...
Les just took his team to 13-1 and had a 2-0 run against us until last night. I’m tired of people calling him lucky. You can’t be lucky that often.
You need to give them some credit. They had a tougher road to get the NC game and we were lucky the cards fell the way they did.
As for trash talking players – happens with every team – just be prepared to back it up.
Talent can only get you so far. Give me a player who has less talent, but the heart of a champion and the will to succeed.

I saw Les Miles interview after the game...
And while he didn’t congratulate Bama, I thought he was quite articulate. You could tell he was disappointed. I was never a Miles/LSU hater, but have gained a greater respect for him and his team’s performance on the field.
by tideroller52 on Jan 10, 2012 3:44 PM CST via mobile reply actions
When asked if LSU should split the title,
he basically said “we’ve had a great season, I’ll leave it up to the voters.” (not a direct quote)
Wrong answer, Les. Sorry, what we were looking for was “Alabama played a terrific game tonight, and they deserve to be champions.”

If it's true that he not only didn't congratulate Alabama, but he also didn't clarify that Alabama should be National Champions,
then I’m certainly not understanding all the Miles lovin’ and respect here.

Here are Les’ post game comments:
Q. Coach, you didn’t want to address this before about whether or not you might deserve an AP title. You won the division. You won the conference. Do you think there’s a case that your team could make as 13?1 for AP votes, or would you consider Alabama unanimous national champion now?
COACH MILES: Well, the only thing I can tell you is we think we had a great year; that this football team had as quality a run as there is in this country. Played eight nationally ranked teams. Played in six stadiums before the SEC championship game, which we won as well.
I think this team accomplished a lot. I think that’s for the voters to figure.
God bless our Dark Lord.
He's wrong...
…but it’s the ‘right’ answer as the LSU head coach. Compare/contrast with Gundy’s comment about not ranking his own team above Alabama, which was right, but the wrong answer for the OSU head coach to give.

I understand he was shocked after watching his team get pummelled into a fine paste by Alabama,
but to not even specifically congratulate the team that just beat you? I hope this loss lingers in his/their psyche for YEARS.

If you
go over to Tiger Rant and see what the fans say, you will find they are hating on him real bad. The interview with Miles I heard last night he didm’t congratulate or give any credit to the tide.
Les Miles is not respectable
The media has praised Les for his ability to weather the storm this season. Bullshit. His starting QB curbstomps a US marine. He only suspends him from the team while the incident is being adjudicated. Then, once the charge is dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor, he is allowed back. He also bravely suspends his ‘star’ CB for two games (vs. Auburn, vs. BYE) for doing drugs. During the games, his players play dirty. He allows them to trash talk, taunt, and intentionally hurt the opponent (Kirkpatrick, Mosley), all without repercussion on the field. These are not the actions of a respectable human being.
It kind of reminds me when Peter Warrick and another player received clothing (or was it stole?). What did Bobby Bowden do? He kicked the other player of the team, but slapped his star Warrick on the wrist.
Please stop with the Lesticle praise. Sure he’s won a good number of games recently. But not the right way.

thanx
the hell with Miles he is arrogant as hell, and he inherited lots of players due to Saban’s recruiting , that momentum carried over to make LSU relevant , I have friends who are LSU fans and they trash talk more than any Miami fan ever did, all i have heard is Miles owns Bama, Alabama isnt good enough to stay on the field with LSU ect ect, This Game is as satisfying to me as the Florida sec champ win, plus that dirty bastard Jefferson cutting Mosely’s legs was on purpose.
I don't buy the "Miles is a genius" revision
It seems like Miles’ success can be easily explained:
1. Saban left a great foundation and new recruits
2. Miles is charismatic and a great recruiter
3. He has pretty good assistants (Chavez)
4. Don’t fuck it up by doing anything (he’s learned this after his many on-field mishaps)
He doesn’t develop talent. His teams lack discipline. His teams really don’t seem to grow over a season. Color me underwhelmed.

How was this a purposefully dirty tackle?
He didn’t cut his legs. You obviously need to watch the replay after you sober up.
Agreed.
Wasn’t a dirty tackle. It was a quarterback tackling a linebacker. Sometimes bad things happen even when players play within their comfort zone.
Fourteen.
you dont know what your talking about
it almost started a fight on the sidelines ,he grabs him and wings his weight toward hes legs , You don’t get it. not to mention the gutless #60 stepping on the guys hand.
Desperation
I saw a quarterback desperate to make a tackle to avoid a possible pick six, tackling someone with a full head of steam heading his way. Imagine he was only thinking of getting him down not hurting him. Not likely LSU qbs or ours for that matter go through tackling drills in practice where intentionally hurting an opposing player would have to have been taught, that’s a stretch I couldn’t even accuse the barn of doing. I was sober everytime I watched the play. Lets not make it out to be something it wasn’t, we are better than that. Now the hand stomp was deliberate, and showed no class.
wasn't dirty and certainly was intentional...
ive rewatched the game 3 times…no chance that was dirty. sorry.

I saw it as dirty
This pic only shows the initial contact. The way Jefferson follows it up on the way down to the ground shows his intentions of inflicting injury. This frame is the equivalent of taking a quote out of context to misrepresent what someone said. What happened to Jefferson and lsu is more likely karma for many of their key players’ thugishness on and off the field.
It reminds me of this pic...

The other player...
…was Laveraneus Coles, who ended up having a FAR better pro career than Warrick ever thought about. Bowden wasn’t a disciplinarian…just wasn’t his way. I have no problem with Miles…there’s no doubt he’s gotten a few wins just by stupid luck, but most of his wins have been hard-earned and totally legit. He seems like a genuinely good guy, but I don’t know….none of us do. Yes, LSU fans (excluding PamfromLouisiana, who’s been gracious) have been quite insufferable over the last several weeks, acting like Bama didn’t even belong on the same field with them (after that dominating 3 point OT win in November), and it’s nice to see them get their comeuppance. No reason to think Miles is an idiot, other than perhaps his indecipherable reason as to why he didn’t put Lee in the game at any point. Maybe he had a reason, but what he said publicly made no sense. Having said all that, any question about who the better coach is between Miles and Saban has been answered…resoundingly. The comparison isn’t close. Saban is the pinnacle of college coaches, and I’m just thankful as hell that we have him.
I'm still laughing at the post-11/5 meltdown where people were talking crazy talk
about how Saban may never beat Miles again. Seriously, some of y’all need to learn how hold your liquor! (Yes, by the ears.)
God bless our Dark Lord.
Then
how should I hold my licker? By the neck?

He was quickly escorted off the field and suspended for game (?), I seem to remember.

I don't think he was taken out of the game at the time,
probably because the coaches didn’t see it until later. But he didn’t start the next game.
God bless our Dark Lord.
About Miles.
We don’t need to bash this guy, the LSU fans are giving it to him big time.
Les is ok. True he made some dumb comments about Bama and Saban when Saban first got to Bama. But Les defended the rematch.
He is not a genius….but he has hired some very good guys. He also has learned from some of his dumb calls. You now see less of those.
He may also have some luck in him (voodoo?) but his luck ran out last night for sure.
I think we better just hope we are up for the task next year in BR because Les may not have had them ready last night, they may have taken Bama too lightly, who knows, but they will be ready for us next year.
Les has the horses and he has pride. He is like a wounded animal now. Be careful as you approach. He is not Chizik!
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.

Rec'd. He got out-coached yesterday. He was OK up until the third, when LSU still had a shot...
down only by 12 after the defense played valiantly all game (on the field forever) and then he kept playing conservatively on offense. Go down fighting with a chance by throwing a few down-field with the chance to loosen up the D with some completions. JJ was already looking at the rush by then so it probably would not have mattered, maybe JLee could have been effective but it would have been tough on him. Bama had our number, but at least take some chances.
AJ threw some difficult passes and tide receivers made terrific catches all night—good game planing by Bama. Those are not easy to execute. JJ was just not focused along with the whole offense and the coaches did not add anything new to the game plan especially with regard to the passing game.
That being said, after 7 years here, LSU is in great shape with a lot of good players on both sides coming back with a much easier schedule and another very good recruiting class. I look forward to next year already.

Well yeah you see, they had consistency but they just couldn't sustain it.
Makes as much sense as most of the things Les says.
God bless our Dark Lord.
Les isn't supposed to make sense.
That is the beauty of Les Miles. And it works because many of his players aren’t really worried about communicating anyway. If Les says “Certain players should not be allowed to particpate in certain circumstances.” A player could just take that to mean whatever he wants. Basically he has a hall pass to go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants. That is sort of what built this team.
But, when you build a team like that then fans like Hebert are not allowed to question why the team seems unfired up or why someone like Lee doesn’t get a chance. The answer is just “because.”
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
i think les was trying to be nice to Jlee
If he had been blunt he would have said something like “…look I like Jarrett but the poor kid throws more picks against Bama than any other QB who’s played for LSU. Also Pshaw would have KILLED him the way he played tonight since Jarrett’s not the best scrambler in the world…next question.”
