Ole Miss & A&M dropped out of the Top 25. That certainly doesn't help our SOS. http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=210481589
Win out and we might make the playoff, especially with our only loss against a top 5 team. Our guys weren't ready vs Bama, they were terrified to start the game and Bama never let us gain our footing. Like the pumpers say, the season isn't over. How's that for a negatiger? Pumpers can kiss my ass because they hate honesty. Miles needs to earn that fat paycheck.
To take a page out of your book about my comment on commitment not equaling blind loyalty, I would suggest to you that positivity doesn't equal hating honesty. I do recognize CLMs shortcomings. I hate his "run at the wall" mentality. I hate that he was laughing and joking w/CNS before the game, and seemed to throw in the towel yet again in the second half despite the game still being winnable. But, I'm not going to whine about our O-line getting their asses handed to them b/c to me Bama seemed like the better team. I don't know what went on behind the scenes, or during the game. I do know we have a very good team w/a great running back. I do know that many teams considered great in the past have had their asses handed to them and have got up off the mat to come back and win. I'm gonna stay positive and let this season play out. There is a lot of football left, and things to look forward to, despite last night. I'm going to stick with my approach of supporting my team, taking what I like, and leaving the rest. My BP is better off this way, and my family is much happier, too, LOL.
Yes. I think going into a game of that magnitude, the attitude example you set for your players is important. After the game, at a banquet, etc, have at it. Talk shop, ask how the kids are doing, tell a joke, whatever. When I saw him do that, I wondered if our mindset was right for this game.
Maybe Nick told a joke that wasn't funny and Les laughed to make him feel good. On a more serious note, the coaches meet and chat before every game. I don't think the players pay any attention to it.
