All that stands between Leonard and a Heisman is us winning 3 of the last 4 games and a strong performance at Alabama by Leonard. He gains about 150 at Alabama and I think the trophy is his.

I'm not sure he is against LSU although there is evidence of it. He is, however, down on Miles. It is most apparent in the difference in the way he handles calls from Georgia concerning Richt being on the hotseat and his encouragement of hotseat talk for Miles. Whenever someone calls in to say Georgia should fire Richt he is very logical and reasonable. He'll say things like yes Richt needs to win more of the big ones but who will you find better. On the other hand, he had Moscona on and one of his questions to Moscona was "What would the worst that could happen if LSU loses to both Mississippi State and Auburn to start the season?"
Then when Moscona said it could result in a losing season Finescum asks, "What would that do to the future of Les Miles?". The point is he constantly encourages the discussion of replacing Miles. He'll be on the bandwagon now. He looks horrible if he doesn't

I tend to agree that the offense will be better. The serious concern is the defense and particularly the defensive ends. Quarterbacks will be better. The irrational exuberance says Brandon Harris will be all conference, rational expectations says better than 50% of his passes complete and some key plays with his legs. Irrational exuberance says the defensive ends will be as good as last years pair at stopping the run and better at sacking the quarterback. Rational expectation says we'll have problems setting the edge and maybe as good at getting to the quarterback.

Marcus Randall was Anthony Jennings 1.0

The cuts to higher education during Jindal's time in office have been brutal. It's to the point where if his proposed budget were to pass we no longer have public universities we have privately funded ones. When Jindal took office the state funded 70% of the cost of going to college at our state universities. In just 7 years it's changed to 30%. This is before current proposals.

Paawwwwl is easily the biggest bama homer on ESPN. You can see him squirm in his seat every time someone says a negative word about the Gumps.

Dreams are just desires expressed while sleeping. It will be tough to be one of the best offenses in the nation unless Mettenberger improves dramatically. And dramatic improvement is seldom seen in the quaterback position. I'm afraid you are what you are there. However, I don't think we need to be one of the best to win the bcs. He just needs to be consistently good. Consistently is the key term. And we'll have a good chance to reach all of our goals.

Agree whole heartedly. Lost in the Kentucky beat down is Kentucky with less a passing threat than us was consistently gashing the Gators D on the ground. On several occasions in the first half at least the moved the ball between the 20's with ease then bogged down in the red zone. Could be an excellent day for Michael Ford

If we're beating the snot out of S.Carolina in the 4th quarter of an undefeated season, we will hear them and I'll join.

While this isn't the first time i've seen this thread, I'd just like to say we need to do more of this in Miles' case. Celebrate the man for what he is instead of constantly brooding over what he isn't. We've got a damn strong coach with character and he's very entertaining to boot. He may not be the master technition that the guy from gumpland is supposed to be but thank god he is who he is.
