Hoping Les Miles gets Tea Baged by that same Bama kid from last January.

A- plus

Wow this sucks the life out of my night. Way to blow it Miles

 

[PraetorianND]

Why didn't he just go for the first down!?

 

[mgriff]

I hope the press call Les on his bullshit.

 

[KPENN]

Wow that's just **** poor. **** LSU is useless

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Awful

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

McCarron is a big cry baby

 

[KPENN]

Quit crying. Jesus

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

At least someone is capable of acknowledging a solid burn

Thanks buddy

 

[Irishnuke]

Les Miles is an idiot. That's all.

 

[IrishLax]

Les Miles is an idiot. That's all.

This. Stupid decision after stupid decision after stupid decision cost them that game. Absolutely horrendous.

And although those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones..... let me just say Alabama looked absolutely ordinary today. This is the first legitimate ranked team Alabama has played (with Mississippi State being a total fraud and about to drop out, and Michigan not being in the top 25) and they should have lost. All of this mega-hype of Alabama is completely unwarranted. Let's not forget this is the same LSU team that beat woeful Auburn 12-10 and struggled with Towson. The whole SEC is completely overrated... Tennessee struggled mightily today with a middling Sun Belt team

As bad as we looked today... Oregon proved they can't play defense, Alabama proved they are quite vulnerable and ordinary on offense, KSU continues to beat up on an overrated conference.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I'm pissed

 

[KPENN]

Lol.

[ndyeater]

man this is a bummer...was REALLY wanting LSU to pull it off

 

[MacadamianNut]

Well this was a super stressful day for me =D

Some impressions from the game:

-Continue to think Mingo is overrated. Montgomery is legit, though. LSU looked very fast on D.

-Dunno how much it came through on the TV, but LSU backed way off on their coverages in that last drive. Abandoned the tight defense that had been giving McCarron fits.

-Fairly subdued crowd by Death Valley standards. Picked up late, but this was no where near the atmosphere I've seen up here before. Didn't even give much crap to the Bama fan I was with. Just a weird vibe. Fan base still seems shell shocked from the national championship game.

-A&M and UGA could both give Bama a real game. Bama's secondary is not on par with the rest of their D. Kind of weird, since Saban made his bones as a DB coach and still coaches the DBs at Bama.

-The Lesticles charade is growing old. The fake FG, the onsides kick, the 50+ yarder, poorly-coached players (why are you running 15 yards to the sideline when you could go forward two to get the first and stop the clock?), run-run-pass-punt, etc. Continue to think he's a bad coach who gets away with it because he's an excellent recruiter in a plumb position. At least he seems to have realized that the forward pass is now legal.

-That said, if Mettenberger can keep playing like he did tonight, LSU is gonna be scary good next season. Defensive end is their only glaring hole. Losing Reid (probably) will hurt, too, but they've recruited well there and the back-ups have some experience.

Ok, so I didn't have audio for this game, but why exactly was McCarron balling at the end? I assumed he was just reaaaaallllyy happy that they beat LSU? Looked pretty bad on his part...
