Ole Miss has been playing erratically and so have the LSU Tigers. Given the time of the season for both teams and the fact that the game is being played in Oxford, MS, I think LSU will have to bring whatever it has left of its “A-Game” to bring this one home to Tiger land as a win.
Prediction:??

LSU looks very disorganized on offense. Lee had a horrible game against Tech and it isn’t looking good for the entire offense. My guess is that Miles is interfering with Croten on key plays but I can’t prove it. From reading a few things I get the impression Croten want to use Shepard more but Miles is hesitant.

Miles carrying a play sheet is enough evidence that he IS calling plays.  Miles is a good man but his ego is thwarting LSU’s success.

You want Lee calling the plays??  Miles is doing what he thinks is necessary for the team to win.

Your putting words in my mouth Fred.  I never said let Lee call the plays.  I am saying let Crowten do what he is paid to do and call the plays.  It does not take a football genius to figure out that some of the things LSU is doing are not working to well.  I do not think, for example, that Crowten or any other offensive coordinator would keep running the option when your quarterback can’t run it.

You probably have a good point.. Croten certainly can’t do any worse.

You can start your own “Project Runway” thread.

I can’t comment on the Tigers? 

My comments were meant to show agreement with Roux.  It seems like a lot of people feel like Roux does even the males in my household.  That’s all I meant.

BTW-I don’t watch Project Runway.  The only TV shows I watch are Lost, 24, and American Idol and none of those are on right now.

Either Miles or Croten should call the plays but only one of them. After a long gain in the first half of the Alabama game it looked as if Croten called a play and was overruled. We ended up getting a delay or procedure penalty that cost us yardage because we didn’t have the right players on the team. We ended up getting no points.

LSU football is a topic I like.  Professional football....that’s another story.

And I forgive you, DD. (smiley)

One thing I think most of us can agree on.....

Go to Hell Ole Miss.... Go to Hell!!!

When I was a kid, it didn’t matter who we played or if we won or lost. Walking down the ramps after the game we yelled..... Go to Hell Ole Miss… Go to Hell!!!

Well it’s kind of what I thought. No offense again.

Miles inability to call time-out with 30 seconds costs him the game.  If we have 10 seconds on the clock after the pass play we kick a field goal and win. Pizz poor coaching on the offensive side.

With one second left, you spike the ball?? He could have marched his field goal team on the field, and won the game.. I cannot beleive what I have just seen.

We can pontificate, curse and acuse yet the fact remains that Miles is the coach that brings another 8 or 9 wins to a season that any deep-rooted fan would have given a load of anything for when Curley Hallman or Gerry DiNardo was at the helm.  We are a spoiled lot.  Saban had and probably still has his “24 hour rule.” That “rule” states that the team or its fans should celebrate a victory or agonize in defeat more than a day. I am all for that and am looking forward to the Arkansas game and a fair to good New Year’s Day Bowl berth.  In all, without a lot of stronger “horses” Miles had in 2007, the season hasn’t been all that bad.
That’s my story. What do you think?

And who was talking about winning the Nat’l Championship? I seriously doubt anyone here.
