| Les Miles postgame comments following the 16-14 win against Tennessee |
And here T-Bob confirms that he did in fact snap the ball early to avoid Ole Miss happening again. I am still debating in my head whether or not this was a good decision.

Short one this morning as we have the Monday presser this afternoon.
It's Florida week. Alligator Army is working through their own problems this weekend.
Mickles at the Advoc covers the Vol heartbreak. Hotard tries to figure out what exactly is going on at QB. Terrell at the Times-Pic talks to Ridley about the final run. And Guilbeau seems to have a new protege' at the S'port Times. I ain't linking to him either.
Meanwhile, the fellas at Rocky Top Talk try to find the positives and just make sense of it all.
The Chalmation Sensation was named the Sugar Bowl Athlete of the Month for his Cape Cod performance.

Les Miles: "I like this team."
Good to know Les!
Sweet Jesus. That presser was nine minutes of crazy. Notice how he gets loud seemingly at random? Someone needs to autotune that rambling and make it into an R&B song (like this — in fact, Les reminds me of Antoine a little bit now that I think of it). Still, I can’t help but love that insane son of a bitch.
You really do have to laugh at all this. I refuse to get all riled up over shit I can’t control. As LSU fans we are on one hell of a ride this year. I plan on continuing to enjoy it.
Gregatron is not responsible for any of the crap he just wrote.
Spencer Hall in convinced that he will lead the first three-loss national champion
and I think he might be right.
Gregatron is not responsible for any of the crap he just wrote.
Actually
He is more likely to be the first coach to get fired FOR going undefeated and winning a national Title.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!

You summed things up well in the game thread after Miles said, "Just another day in the SEC".
Your response, “Crazy.Mother.Fucker.” Perfect. I was with Miles at the beginning of the season as I am now because he wins, recruits well, is a nice guy, and to a lesser extent is a Crazy.Mother.Fucker! For the games, I agree, embrace and enjoy it, drink up, don’t drive, and let’s see how many these Tigers can win!
I don't know if y'all remember the Ole Miss game last year...
Yeah, T-Bob, we remember.
Don't Panic.

If the guys at Rocky Top do manage to make sense of this...
… could they send me an email and explain it? I gave up trying to understand the Les Miles Era back in 2005. I’ll give him this… he ain’t boring.
Fake Pundit. Real Fan.
And The Valley Shook!
Rhetorical or serious?
Because Miles makes perfect sense to me. The first part of this pdf is the best short summary I’ve found of it.
His ‘survival brain’ is particularly oppressive of his ‘thinking brain’ under pressure.
T-Bob has to be smarter than that. His heart was in the right place, but damn – pick your head up and look at the play clock, then snap it at 1 sec if JJ hadn’t called for it. Snapping it early at 4 seconds didn’t give the cadence a chance. Minor, I know, but just another straw on that crazy camel’s back.
T-Bob for Time Mgr.
The search is over ! The LSU Coaching Staff has found a sideline Offensive Clock/Mgr. T-BOB HEBERT !!! He’s the only one, counting JJ, Les Miles, Gary Crowton, Billy G. who knows WTF is going on in the last seconds of a college football half(remember Tenn. 2005 end of 1st Half,“I was in the moment” Jamarcus Russell). Put T-Bob on the sidelines & let him be the CZAR of offensive time mgt.
Actually, not really.
If he had snapped with a second or two yes, but it was more like 3 or 4 and JJ was getting ready to call for the snap.
TBob may have saved the game but he could have just as easily lost it.
If they taught arithmatic on Rocky Top we would be 4-1 rolling into the swamp, just saying.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
Hmm...
Maybe UT should stop recruiting linemen from Louisiana then… ;-)

i wish we could have done this to auburn or bama
i just don’t hate Tennessee enough to take pleasure in their loss
LOL
I never thought of it like that but yes, I would be rolling on the floor if that is how we beat bama.
"I know the quarterback has a strong arm, but...I mean the ball's not gonna outrun ME" --PP7
it would have been most fitting w/ auburn
even though 2007 now looks more like a clock management screwup from Les, I love bringing that game up.
"2007 now looks more like a clock management screwup from Les"
Only because of agenda driven revision of the FACTS.
The call was right; if the ball is incomplete there is still .04 seconds (not .01, TRUTH) the ball is dead AND we still had a timeout.
Can you imagine the meltdown if ANY COACH on ANY TEAM at ANY LEVEL attempted a long field goal on THIRD DOWN with > .20 seconds on the clock and a Timeout in pocket and said attempt was blocked, missed or bad snapped out of field goal range?
Pick on the real issues not made up CRAP, for the love of Billy Cannon!
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
The refs would not have dropped the flag against Bama.

Bama wouldnt have 13 people on defense...
Les Miles is truly Col. Kurtz….may God have mercy on your soul…
Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
by mrpelicanpants on Oct 4, 2010 5:35 PM CDT up reply actions
Mr. Kurtz was actually amoral, driven, and ruthlessly efficient. Sounds more like Saban to me.
Miles: “I look forward to going forward with my DAMN strong squad into what is certainly a hostile environment of central Africa, with a strong want to execute smartly and certainly, going forward, to acquire and obtain ivory.”
Saban: “Exterminate the brutes.”
Don't Panic.

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance...
baffle ’em with bullshit.
I think it was a compliment.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but apparently at least five did.
Leaping Jesus...
My brain just liquified. The emotion behind words so hastily thrown together baffles me.
Holly nailed it over on EDSBS
It’s Vogon poetry.
Vogon Poetry is described as “the third worst poetry in the Universe”. The main example used in the story is a short piece composed by Jeltz, which roughly emulates nonsense verse in style (example below). The story relates that listening to it is an experience similar to torture as demonstrated when Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect are forced to listen to the poetry (and say how much they liked it) prior to being thrown out of an airlock.
“Oh freddled gruntbuggly/thy micturations are to me/As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes. And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon, see if I don’t!”
LSU - "...the defense you want to be and your girl wants to be with."
Does any know
why T Bob was in the game at center, did something happen to Lonergan?
arm tweak on the final drive
was never specified. He’s fine now
