What a maroon! What an ignoranimus!

He'll come up with some rationalization as to why this loss shouldn't count.

If Jordan Jefferson hadn't taken that sack that put them out of field goal range at the 0:46 mark, it wouldn't have been an issue. And then the 15 second burn off because no one called a time out before the fourth down play. The entire sequence of events before that are what lost the game.

and Jefferson wouldn't have been sacked if they ran the ball which they should have since they were already in field goal range

That ending was hilarious. LSU beat themselves. Period. There's nobody else to blame for this. The funniest thing is during that 17 second idiotic time burn, if they had called the time out just one second earlier, only burning 16 seconds, they could have spiked the ball and got a FG. They have only themselves to blame.

Lost Thought 00: Remember, this is the best team Florida has played all year long

Negative. Arkansas is the best team Florida's played all year. LSU merely had a better record for most of the year - a situation that will be set right by Mallet & company this Saturday.

As an Alabama fan, I have to say the only thing I love more than Les Miles is his 18.5 Million dollar buyout. If Nutt and the Chiz can eke out 8 wins a year, Saban's going to be making trips to Atlanta a regular December event.

That whole little sequence of plays was one big pile of FAIL, from LSU running off most of the clock before calling their last TO, to the spiking of the ball with only 0:01 left on the clock.

Did he think they'd let him do that without running one second off? Seriously, had LSU just run a play at 0:27 instead of letting it go down to 0:09, they'd have had plenty of time to set up the FG and win the game, plus they'd have still had a TO to work with.

I seem to remeber a situation like this while Miles was at OSU. It was a feww seconds before half time and they weren't sure who to send out on the field. By the time everyone was set, there was no time left.

This was within field goal range, during the 2005 bedlam game we ended up losing by three points.


/so glad that guy left for a bigger paycheck

Well, Les can always use the impending job opening in Michigan Notre Dame to extort a few more million out of LSU.

but at least he "helped" to bring Rich Rod to the UofM, right?

Its funny that Dexter McCluster's "olay" gave LSU the chance and thanks to Miles, McCluster escapes being the goat.

Since we're definitely going to have Rodriguez around for at least another year, it was kinda fun to see the guy that most of the "FIRE ROD NOW" crew really wants completely cock up a game like that. Miles is clearly an honors graduate of the Andy Reid School of Clock Management.

Chiz won't even make it to 8 this year let alone every year. I give him maybe 2 more years before he's replaced. I still don't understand his hiring. Such a mistake. As much as Tuberville frustrated me I'd still prefer him to this.

gwowen: I am shocked, shocked, to discover that "student" athletes lack the brain power to think for themselves.

Watch the video. Jefferson and the offense try to come off the field. Miles is giving him the 'spike it' signal, Jefferson replies with a 'look at the clock dumbass' type signal but Miles continues with the 'spike it' motion.

Jefferson does as ordered, time expires, and LSU loses.

This one's all on Les.

I like pretty much every team in college football, except LSU. They're not the "bad boys" they just have the indisputably worst, most drunken, smelly, redneck, abusive bad-sport fans in all of college football.

Worse than Alabama (mostly stepford-style fembots, rich daddy's boys and fart-smelling land-whales, but general-purpose Baptist morality)
Worse than Tennessee (hillbillies, but more ignorant than malicious.)
Worse than Texas A&M (scary bunch, but most of the abuse is perpetrated on their nuts rather than the opposing team's fans.)

LSU has the worst fans in college football. 100% drunk, throwing trash and beer bottles at opposing teams' fans as a matter of course, abusive, vomit-smelling incoherent cursing as a matter of course. Worst in college football. Hopefully this 4th-down call turns into a train wreck of a coaching controversy that self-immolates their entire program, possibly causes them to squander an otherwise-decent coach (Miles to ND?) and puts them back where they belong, in the Crazy Steve's Used Tire and Shiatsu Massage Bowl.

Oh yeah, he's not gonna last but you can muck up a program a whole lot in three or four years. Whoever comes in after him is going to be picking up the pieces while having to deal with Saban just down the road.

On a positive note, Mark Richt will probably be available in two years.

/Yeah, I know that's cold. What can I say, I'm a bammer.....

Way to take responsibility for your blunder. Better to just try to pass the blame off on your young QB. Coaching finesse aside, that's just poor humanity.

GQueue: Miles is clearly an honors graduate of the Andy Reid Bo Schembechler School of Clock Management.

Seriously, the Michigan teams of the late 70's-early 80's were fantastic at killing the clock while ahead and never giving the other team a last shot at the game, but on the rare occasions they were behind and needed to come back with short time, they were guaranteed to totally implode, spectacularly. Just like that.

If he had called timeout with 0:26 left, this wouldn't have been an issue.

It wasn't a fix. Miles always makes questionable calls late in the 4th. It just so happens he's been very lucky with success this far in his career on those questionable calls. This time it was a fairly generic call(spike it with no time left) that got them the loss rather than some 4th-and-1-in-field-goal-range-to-put-them-ahead-so-we-go-for-30-yard-placeholder -pass-just-because-it-would-be-awesome call that happened to miraculously work

I was like 0_o when they didn't run their field goal team onto the field the split second the WR made the catch. They could have easily been on the field and lined up before the ref could spot the ball and blow the whistle to start the clock.

Yep. While there were plenty of other clock-mangement issues, there's just no excuse for not getting the FG unit on the field in that situation. It was so obvious, I'm surprised the FG unit didn't run out autonomously, without being told. WTF else are you gonna do?? Embarassing.

That's more of a live by the sword, die by the sword situation though. When you're largely allergic to the pass, that's going to happen. If you don't pass the rest of the game very often, it's probably not going to be there when you need it and everyone knows you need to be doing it, and you end up with epic failure.

This, on the other hand, was 100% pure clock management failure, which Andy Reid has become well-known for.

LSU was getting 4.5 points (They wer the underdogs, for the non-gambling type), so if you had bet MSU against the spread you would have lost regardless of the fg make or miss.

I didn't watch that game, but from what I can tell it was a complete disaster. Not just one or two things, either. It was a slippery slope of fail

tortilla burger: I didn't watch that game, but from what I can tell it was a complete disaster. Not just one or two things, either. It was a slippery slope of fail
