    I don't think a 13-10 halftime score against what I believe is the best team in the country is "blown off the field", but it was a huge setback to have a turnover and to have them score in the opening moments of the second half.

    It's a bad three games, no question about it. The question is whether it overcomes the previous 10 seasons and 7 games. I don't think it does. Another question is whether a young, injured team right now can be a whole lot better next year without a new coach. I think it can. If we had experienced key players and they were all graduating or being drafted at the end of the year, then I might agree with the freight train analogy someone made.

    Any pumpers talking about Alleva and BOS pulling head out of ass should probably look in the mirror. The minions haven't been happy in quite a while. You were dismissive of critical observations and now that you've finally come to realize some of these observations are true you're still acting as if you have a monopoly on righteousness. Jump in a creek with that BS.

    you had me til there. some people never like the coach. they like the university. lots feel good that a change is being made. im not one of them but people can feel however they wish. some think long overdue. this may be more about right and wrong it seems and you're being pissy.

    Well there is a big difference in losing games and being an embarrassment.

    If you can't watch that game and recognize that the problem was execution of the plays and not the plays that were called, you're the delusional one. Not me.

    We had a 60-yard run called back. We missed what should have been an easy field goal after what should have been an easy touchdown. Most of the throws and pitches were bad. None of that is down to the play calling.

    If Harris throws an interception, you'd all be in an uproar about how we shouldn't have thrown it even once.

    Sorry, 4 seasons are a sufficient number of data points to mark a trend showing a significant decline. What recruiting and coaching pieces will we have next year that leads you to think we're going to turn things around in 2016? We are losing at least 2 of the 5 starting OL, so things aren't looking any better in the trenches. Harris' lack of progression and the abysmal playcalling and sideline communication have shown Cam to be largely a bust. The talent Steele does have has looked equally poorly coached, and the guys he's recruiting won't be ready to make an impact for another couple of seasons. Peveto is a dumbass of astronomical proportions. I'd also lay down good money that any upperclassmen who were on the fence to stay for another year will bolt early, leaving us young in key spots for yet another year.

    F you buddy. If you read my posts from last year you might have a clue. I believe that LSU comes before any coach, player or administration. Most minions weren't happy in 2007 so like most negative people it was not perception or knowledge that brought your predictions to fruition but time. Every coach, team or organization gets static and inflexible. They pay the price for it. We will....not because you were so effing smart but because of physics. Get off your high horse sport you've got nothing to crow about.

    And yet execution remains a consistent problem season after season, among many different players.
