More stats to wow you:

Number of Attempts per TD (QBs with 8 or more TDs, same as Lee) (aka, how many attempts it takes to get a TD pass out of the QB):
Bray 12.6
Murray 12.3
Wilson 17.3
Trotter 15.6
Lee 14.75
McCarron 18.75

Number of Attempts per INT (aka, how many attempts it takes to get an INT pass out of the QB):
Bray 88
Murray 26.6
Wilson 69.3
Trotter 23.5
Lee 118
McCarron 75

Don't confuse Les' desire to only throw the ball 20x a game with Lee not being a very good QB. He's playing great football. And, there is no reason to think he won't continue as the season progresses and if the coaches ask him to start throwing it more.

These are terrible stats. It really says a LOT about the QB situation when the newfound JL for heisman homers are having to make up stats and explain what they are in parentheses just to show how "good he is." He is a product of our system, and isn't doing anything extraordinary. Don't confuse not screwing up with leading the team to victory every weekend.

Dear sir,
How dare you not blame Les Miles for every LSU mistake?!?!?
Signed,
The Sabanistas

People like you are the ones who bring up Saban in every Les Miles thread. Not the "Sabanistas"

No way. Although I was drunk as hell watching the Florida game and after he scored I was screaming Heisman over and over again. But, this is not something you say when you are free of influence from any intoxicating substances.

So you should show no emotion and act like an robot.

Before the endzone, yes. I hate the fricking rule, really, I do... but, that's the rule.

So, what you're saying is . . . today's young people are turning into pussies.

And yes, I said in other threads that a bunch of middle aged white guys (and, yes, white guys are more likely to have a stick up their butt) made the rule to feel good about themselves. Nevertheless, the idea that points are essentially taken off of the board for that "infraction" cannot be defended.

---

I'm not defending it. I'm saying that if I were a paid official in the game, and it had been a team like OU or USC, I would have made that call (because we all know I wouldn't have made that call against LSU). It's a subjective call, excessive celebration almost always is. You're a lawyer, you, of all people, should know his hand waving can be construed as taunting before the end zone.

When they made that call, my heart sunk to my shoes... I actually thought they were going to replay 4th down, because I didn't know the rule. But, it's the rule.

quote:

Okay. Please specifically state what factors in Wing's touchdown constitute "taunting" as opposed to other emotional reactions during the game.

---

When he blatantly threw his arms up while looking at members of the opposing team. Pretty obvious call. Sorry if it's too hard to comprehend for the "voice of reason."

quote:

---

I just saw an OU player do some Roger Craig high steppin in endzone after TD...surprise...no flag.

---

Was it IN the endzone or inTO the endzone? I watched about 12 minutes of that game.

quote:

---

While I still think we will win, I don't expect stellar numbers from the passing game.

---

I don't care who we're playing, with our choices between Lee and JJ, I never expect stellar numbers from the passing game.

Talking to a Baylor grad about the good start they've had and how it was about to get tuff. His reply was "3 more wins to go bowling".

Now a question. Do you envy his feelings as opposed to ours "the ship or bust"?


I'm on the ship or bust train.

---

Yeah, I've been a fan since the early 90s, even though I was young as shite then, and even though there was something special about tearing down goal posts after beating Spurrier, "ship or bust" beats losing by 7 touchdowns to Florida any day.

And lest anyone forget next week and try to say that we "lucked" out in our win over Tennessee, here were those stats:

But, we did luck out in that game. Stats are stats. JJ at QB was more than enough to make any stat line advantage we had irrelevant.
