We didn't blow them out on purpose

i agree with nootch. i dont like this mentality, and i hoped 2007 had erased it from clm's thought process. its the "playing not to lose" attitude. i saw it when he was at osu. it lost a game against texas for him.

in 07 there was a fire that seemed to override "playing not to lose" and gave us "playing to win". but, unfortunately, that seems to have disappeared. in 08 i passed it off as the more than green qb situation. last year we had a young qb but it was still bewildering. now, it is just down right frustrating. it almost cost us last night, and it will cost us if it continues.

i will say that if we had not had a td called back because of a stupid mistake, it might have been the blow to unc's spirit that was needed. but it didnt happen and it allowed them to get back into the game. but, we let em.

 

Yeah, that much is obvious. lol

Maybe they didn't blow them out on accident?

 

:hihi:

 

It's been his MO since the start... think it's going to change all of a sudden. NOT. We've seen it for 2 seasons now and last night showed it's going to be more of the same... except this season all of the tough ones are in other peoples back yards.
To think Crowton got a big fat pay raise for getting worse and Miles is stuck in denial. Hell he has no incentive to do better... our AD gives him a fat raise after 07 and now he's cruising to a free paycheck with 8 wins a year. How many penalties did we have last night where Miles sat there and just shook his head up and down... then blows a gasket on calls that were spot on. Dood is clueless... it's like watching bambi stare into the head lights before the semi splatters him all over the road.

 

UNC didn't win on purpose. :hihi:

 

We let up on UNC, but they had the nerve to keep playing and try to win the game. Don't they know you are supposed to give up when LSU has a big lead on you.

 

That's the discipline that seems to be lacking more and more as we get deeper into the Miles era. Shoulda coulda woulda will start losing us games... after 27 games its the same old thing... that falls squarely on Miles.

 

please name me a coach, any coach at any level, who has never had a big play called back for holding.

name ONE, just ONE, that it's never happened to.
