are there areas to be concerned about that have to be fixed or we will be in trouble? of course.

is it a nightmare? no, what tenn is going through is a nightmare.

perspective, people. perspective.

The only reason the national media has dubbed it a "nightmare" is because our old coach is kicking our ass right now. Its media gold. I have been very critical of Miles, and i think that he deserves criticism, but we can be critical and still have his back. He is our coach, and Crowton is our OC and that is the way it is for now, so we need to back these guys. Why would any sane LSU fan want them to fail? Lets go kids, lets get their backs, and lets go kick Alabama's ass next season.

Exactly. Healthy competition. We should be thanking Saban. He built LSU into a championship program and now there is so much money on the line LSU can't afford to keep losing to them every year. So all of the people asking for change every year won't have to wait as long.

It's very simple. Miles can shut up all his critics, myself included, by winning the SEC West next year. The schedule is set up favorably for this with Bama and Ole Miss at home. Arkansas can potentially trip us up, but if they lose Mallett to the draft, they'll have big time problems. Tennessee, and even Florida, just got significantly easier. If Miles can coach up the younger talent coming in to fill key positions, LSU will be in a good position to make a run.

mallett is staying.

I think every Bama fan's worst nightmare is LSU's '08 and '09 class maturing.

Alabama, is a force in the SEC again period. As Daniels was saying about Florida during the SECCG " Your going to have to chop the head off the snake". This was NOT the most talented Bama team in the SEC,. but they were obviously the best coached and prepared team.

Next year with much less experience on defense your going to see amazing size and athleticism take its place. Specifically our D-backs are going to rival the talent in our running game and frankly the same is true now at quarterback. With AJ McCarron and Philip Sims the talent level is astounding. It will change how Bama does business with their offensive philosophy. The defense will be more of the same.

No one in the west can hope to get a little better, everyone needs to take giant steps toward that end.

TUSK, would you please take some time to master you're and your? Thanks.

... and come down off that cloud.
