JJ was impressive last night. I look forward to seeing his career develop. He took charge of the game and delivered.

Perrillou was #1 until his stupidity finally caught up with him. Hatch was #2, Lee was #3, and Jefferson was #4. Jefferson was going to red-shirt this year. I think that was why we played Lee so much. But yes, JJ was #1 for this game. I am looking forward to three more years of him.

I don’t understand the classless coach comments. Maybe I don’t pay as much attention but Miles seems no better or worse than any other coach.

OK, I agree, reviews probably have not added much to the quality of officiating.

USC is stinking it up against Iowa. I hate it when SEC teams get beat by Big 10 teams.

What I’m getting at, and I think what Charles is getting at, is that there’s no clear increase in the quality of the officiating with instant replay. Before replay, they got it right nearly all the time. With replay, they get it right…nearly all the time. Its ultimate primary “contribution” is generating three or four lengthy (and essentially always meaningless) sessions of refs’ thumbs up their asses per game. This is particularly irritating when the rules committee is trying everything it can elsewhere to speed up the game.

Whether or not they result in points, fake punts and downfield throws in the fourth quarter with a five-touchdown lead are not gentlemanly.

I must have misunderstood you. You seemed to indicate that the Tech players were saying that LSU doesn’t belong on the field with them. I never read anything even close to that. Now, I did see that “America voted” 76% a Tech victory and that a lot of people had given up on LSU this year. They probably had an axe to grind. Like you said, it’s football, but these things come back around sometimes, that’s part of the game too. If Miles were to pull those deep passes on a coach as classless as Miles someone may end up getting hurt. It’s just not smart.

If JJ isn’t your first string quarterback, my name is Barack Obama. Tech already beat your “first string” quarterback this year. He’s not coming back.

On call reviews, my jury is still out. They seem to change very few but when they do, it is usually the correct call. I would be willing to bet more often than not, the people saying they are wrong are the ones the call went against. Maybe now, with replay available, refs should not blow the whistle until play is done.

Back to Miles, when you have to listen to people tell you how much you suck this year and how a team is going to kill you, you start wanting to make a point. That includes the coaches as well as the players. And don’t forget, the last game LSU played they gave up a big lead to lose to Arkansas. I am sure that was in the back of their mind.

And don’t call JJ a “first string QB.” He was the 4th string QB this year.

Happy New Year to you and yours!!!

Not a classy guy last night, that Miles. Someone needs to put “HB OFF TACKLE” in his vocabulary, and tell him to keep saying it to himself and anyone else who might have anything to do with play-calling when he’s up five touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

And I’m with you on replay, Charles. It’s so disruptive at this point (and changes so little, when you really look at it) that I’d just as soon scrap the whole damned thing. After all, they STILL screw up with it. Are they really screwing up any less than they did the old, “bad” way when the officials actually had the nuts to make calls with conviction?
