    Geez what does that tell you about the history of LSU's vertical attack? Maybe it's not our offensive coaching, maybe we are just cursed.

    That ultra-conservative Les Miles throws more than most other LSU coaches in our history?

    Love me some Rohan, one of my all-time favorite Tigers. I'll never forget the Alabama game when he and Josh Reed combined for about 300yds passing. Reed was open all night.

    With all due respect, its not just about how many times you throw the ball.

    I was at a party where Reed showed up right after that game...or maybe it was the day after, I can't really remember. (College does that to the best of us ;-)) He was a really nice guy...down to earth and soft-spoken. Humble, despite the fact that everybody treated him like a celebrity

    You're right. Too bad he didn't crack the top ten in yards and beat our championship QB's passer rating.

    Oh, wait...
