Did he mention the big fight in the locker room before the game?

It would be funny if Leslie went to Nebraska or somewhere and had their program in the Top 10 in a couple of years. He obviously is not the long term solution for any program, but I think he could give any team a shot in the arm for 3-4 years.

I doubt he ever coaches at a big time school. He seems to have taken a liking to commentary work and his buyout is still sticking it to LSU.

I go back and forth with this. But ultimately, I do think it is a ridiculous concept that a team lost at home, and was rewarded by not having to play an extra game that the team that beat them had to play.

I am convinced that if we had any other coach who wasn’t so stubborn, we would have won that natty in 2011/12.


Rantard confirmed.

I hope he's watching LSU now and reconsidering this statement in the highly unlikely chance that this is an actual former player.

Yeah, none of that is true.

Les stated himself in that podcast that he didn't have the team prepared mentally enough. He didn't get through to them.

Les is a class act who has a lot of players that love him. Guess you didn't catch him actually talking to a former player that named his fricking kid after Les.

I remember suggesting to some people that we come out in a five-wide formation, Lee in at QB and air it out for an entire drive. Even if it was three straight incompletions. Saban doesn’t respond that well to instant change, and that’s why we beat him the first time.


Lol at a player telling coaches what formations they should run at halftime. I can only imagine how Saban would react to such a fiasco.

This is the Oklahoma St. kick that put Bama into the mulligan bowl.

I think it just happened to be perfect failure of the BCS system.. human voters manipulating the composite score by intentionally under ranking teams or even leaving them out of the top-25 is a nightmare scenario.

Most Alabama fans try to justify the choice by saying "we had the best loss" ( ) while most LSU fans gripe because they feel it should have been based on who had the best wins.

Best wins prior to selection (rank at that time):
Alabama - #22 Penn St, #6 Arkansas
Oklahoma St - #11 Kansas St, #15 Baylor, #19 Oklahoma

My favorite question is.. if LSU doesn't step out of bounds on an easy TD run in overtime.. and wins by a TD instead of a FG.. does the rematch happen?

The irony was, I hated watching him in HS before I made it there. Helped him warm up with some passes every few practices and we chatted.


You know, there really weren't that many players from Texas on the 2011 LSU football roster, and there aren't a whole lot of positions (C, WR, other QBs) that tend to throw with QBs for warmups.

This doesn't sound like Russell Shepard, so I think Alex Russian would be the prime suspect here, assuming it's not just some fake bullshitter on Reddit.


P.S. -- I just saw Team Vote's post on pg. 4; I guess it was the freshman walk-on FB from Georgia, Hayden Boudreaux. Yeah. I guess he meant he was a lifelong LSU fan who was growing up as a sophomore in high school in Georgia in 2008 who hated watching Lee throw INTs.
