    doubt it but paint is cheap.

    Just curious but what how would yalls fan base feel if those "ballsy" calls had turned out differently? Would miles be an idiot? Or would they be ballsy calls that just didnt work out. I guess thats the Catch 22 with play calling. The only reason something is a good call to most fans is because it worked. If that pass against Auburn had been picked off or if Flynn had been sacked i have a feeling some LSU, not necessarily any here, would be getting out the wood and nails. But of course its just as likely that your place kicker could have shanked the kick or it could have been blocked. What happens if and when Miles "ballsy" play calling runs out?

    They would still be ballsy on his part, but people would be too pissed off to realize it.

    He picks and chooses his spots very well, but if you've ever gambled with regularity, you know that all hot streaks come to an end. We'll come back from the bye rested both mentally and physically. If we can finish like we started, we won't need him to make those types of decisions.

    In his first game as coach, LSU had the punter throw a pass on 4th down from our own endzone. In the 1st quarter. It's just his nature and it won't "run out."

    He's a crazy person, but at least he's crazy in the name of fooling the other team and winning.

    I'm trying to figure out which calls are truly "ballsy?" The media is playing this up, but I don't see that many ballsy calls going on.

    The play call against Auburn was not ballsy. Many good coaches would take one shot at the endzone in that situation. What made it risky was Flynn letting 3-4 seconds run off the clock before snapping it. If he snaps it with 10-12 seconds, it wouldn't have been an issue.

    Going for all those 4th downs in the Florida game weren't really ballsy either, except for the last one when we elected to not kick the game tying FG. The fake FG and going for it on 4 and 1 isn't shocking.

    But it makes for a good story...

    Precisely and Miles isn't going to harp on that publicly b/c he won't throw Matt under the bus.

    What happens is Saban stays at Miami? What happens if Tennessee didn't suck this year and was over rated? What happens if John Parker Wilson's name was Bobo Mcstank Nuts? What happens if you ask what happens about every good play that ever happens in college sports? What happens if you ask dumb hypothetical questions? What happens if we beat you with plays you think could have went wrong? What happens when you realize that every play, no matter how good or bad it may look in the end...all start off as a gamble? What happens when you realize that we our kicker misses easy field goals? What happens when you lose to Auburn this year?
