    I cant argue that fact. Im not at all a fan of him but he does win. Its crazy how such a successful coach is so polarizing. I know we cant win every game or the SEC, much less the BCS every year. Id just like to see more improvements out there. Id like to see better production with all the talent thats here. That said, he wins. No matter how ugly, LSU is 10-2. You cant call it luck, because he does it regularly. Id love to see Crowton and Stud go. It might be the spark thats needed. I really like Miles as a person. Here is to the future.:geauxtige

    It's painful. Total margin of defeat this year is 15pts. We are a decent OC away from being undefeated and playing for the SECC this year.

    As long as Crowton is here, we will continue to underachieve offensively.

    We lost by one touchdown. Their defense (esp. pass) is not very good. A good offensive effort on our part wins that game. Period.

    14, 24, 27, 34, 43, 31, 31, 27

    Those are the point totals of the BCS opponents that Auburn played this year outside of LSU. Of them, only Miss St. (14) would not have at least taken Auburn to OT on the day that we played them. State played them early, when neither team was playing particularly well. Even with that point total taken into consideration, these opponents averaged 29pts/game vs Auburn this year. That means that Crowton is 12pts below average.

    To review, even an average offensive effort on that day wins the game for LSU.

    Because only Mississippi St., in the second game of Cam Newton's career, held them to fewer points than we did. Conversely, every team in the SEC, except Mississippi St., scored more points on them than we did. Give us the offensive performance of any of the remaining 6 teams, and we win. Give any of those 6 teams our defensive performance, and they win.

    Well, apparently there is a reason because we weren't.

    Stop with the logic, you might make sense.

    It's never the quarterback for SIU. You see, if the Dark Lord Crowton was gone, then Jefferson and Lee would become Top-25 quarterbacks instead of the #12 and #13 passers in the SEC.

    Don't forget to connect the rest of the dots, because if it weren't for Idiot Grass Eating Miles keeping Dark Lord Crowton, then Jefferson and Lee would become top 25 QB's.
