2011 - we just got shafted with having to face a team we previously beat, at their house, in the NC. Oh yeah, we also had to beat a good Georgia team into oblivion in the SEC Championship game while Alabama kicked their feet back and rested up. Sometimes football isn't a fair game....But, I largely agree. Miles wasn't a great coach or game manager....yet, I still would somewhat prefer him to Kelly.
Admittedly, with the season (thankfully) around the corner, I've really been reading and listening to a lot of LSU media. I'm sure it's the echo chamber effect. However, for clarity, I'm bullish on the talent* assembled at LSU, but I'm bearish on the head coach.

You guys dodged a bullet with the Nussmeier scare. There was a rumor flying around for a bit his ACL was torn
Yup. I heard about that. From what I’ve read, they’ve said it’s nothing and precautionary. That being said, still a little worrisome as certain coaches and medical staff are known to hide the severity of injuries 😬
As a fellow Masshole myself, I've always been curious about this.
This fact is beyond dispute, and yet people on here will bow and scrape and talk about this man like some kind of savior when he simply prodded awake the giant that was sleeping on cultural bedrock deeper than anything else in college football. Yes, it still was, even in 2010. A lot of coaches could have done this, notwithstanding the fact that our world historically bad administration managed to find the only three vibrators in the sex store without an on switch. A lot of coaches could have done what he did, and could have done it without the entire time hating Notre Dame, failing completely to understand the ways in which what makes it different makes it better, instinctively rebelling against that notion at every turn. That's why I still hold a grudge, though I expect I will think about him less and less as the Freeman wins pileup and as Kelly moves from LSU to ESPN to the deuce to MAC Digital Network, to losing the MA-7 Dem primary by thirty points. Fuck that chump.
To be fair, it would be a tough call. Miles (or his staff) did recruit their asses off…I’ll give them that. As you well know, LSU isn’t the most difficult place to recruit to. LA is a hotbed per capita for elite talent and a lot of those kids grow up wanting to play for LSU. Yes, they get plenty of competition from Bama & other big schools but even in the down years (DiNardo, end of Miles era) they would sign talent by default of being LSU in the state of LA.2011 - we just got shafted with having to face a team we previously beat, at their house, in the NC.

I bet you don't like "rehashing" Kelly. The way you reflexively defended this man who hated everything that made Notre Dame special is to your everlasting shame. I mean it's an online football forum so who cares, but still.
Honey where's the Tylenol
