And to think, there for a few minutes there were some quality LSU people on TF. And then this happened.

BTW - you can be a "legend" for the wrong reasons - which is apparently the case here.

	Chavis will probably put Peterson one-on-one with Julio. Y'all think about that for a few minutes. Let it sink in.

I've been considering that ever since Peterson himself said it. He said that everything he's done in the offseason and up to this point has been to prepare for Julio.

	Quote:
	The coaches know what I want," Peterson told reporters Tuesday in Baton Rouge. "They have confidence in me. ... Everything I've been doing since (last) season (is) to prepare for Julio Jones. I really haven't had a chance to get into the game plan how Coach has us guarding him, but I do know I'm going to lock on Jones."

If nothing else, he sure is a brazen young lad.

Why do most LSU fans make Lester vs. Saban compairisons? Not to be rude but shouldn't the LSU faithful realize everything Saban did for them and show a little loyalty to the man that turned them around? Does anyone remember worrying about LSU prior to the Saban era there? I don't. Any coach that has come in and made a positive difference on a program should be "well recieved" and "respected" by their fan base. Miles record at LSU is not compairable to Saban's. Period... I wish we could go back in time and see what Lester could have done with LSU when Saban first walked through the door. I respect and have admiration for LSU and the football program, but idiots like this poster continually chip away at that. Is Les Miles a poor coach? No, not by a log shot. Is he better that Saban? No. His ability to recruit is based on the Program/Machine Saban built and it will take a while and a few more seasons before Lester is his "own man". LSU is not as good as they were in the past, but still pretty close. BAMA is leaps and bounds better. I used to hate LSU with a passion when Saban was there and now I realize it had alot to do with envy and respect. I still have great respect for LSU and would never post such insulting "bull" about them, as this guy has done us. I look forward to a memorable game and lots of excitement. Oh yeah, the good guys will prevail, but I dare not predict the final or give position by position breakdowns that insult the other team. Here is to two great teams and a memorable Saturday.

QB - Mcelroy vs Jefferson - Adv = LSU by a slight margin (If MAC gets it rollin (big if as of late)HUGE ADV ALABAMA)

RB - Ingram is a heisman hopeful this season. He has been carrying the load for Bama. LSU prefers to split up the carriers between Scott, Williams, Holliday, Shephard and Ridley. Ridley and Shephard have looked great lately. Sure Bama has Richardson and Upchurch, but these groups as a whole are even. (Please) ADV= ALABAMA

WR - Julio Jones is having a down year. Tolliver has stepped up to show he is top tier guy. Take that with Lafell and Rueben Randle and LSU has a major advantage here. P.S. If you drop Pat P in single Coverage on JJ all bats are off. He will bust Pat Patterson Explitive like a pinata.(Unfortunatly agree unless LSU is dumb enough to single cover JJ)

O-Line - Neither line is too impressive so far. LSU has been doing a poor job of pass protection. Mcelroy has been getting banged up as well. (Please) ADV ALABAMA

D- Line - Terrance Cody is a monster and to be feared. Other than that, Bama has no guys to be scared of. LSU has Alem who is a great speed rusher. Drake Nevis is a solid run stopper. LSU rotates a lot of guys on the d-line to keep them fresh. (Please) ADV ALABAMA

LB's - Hightower being out for the year really hurts Bama. Mcclain is the best linebacker on either team, but Sheppard has been playing stellar lately for LSU. Also, Harry Coleman has come on strong lately especially on blitzes. (Have you ever watched a game and seen the rest of our LB's PLEASE (ADV ALABAMA)

Secondary - Javier Arenas is solid, but undersized. LSU has one of the best shutdown corners in the country in Patrick Peterson and one of the best safeties in the country in Chad Jones. Pat Patterson is GOING to be a good one. Chad Jones is legit. (Slight Adv. LSU but closer to even as a whole unit)

Special Teams - Both teams have dynamic returners. LEigh Tiffen is a tried and true kicker. Josh Jasper has stood up to the test as a first year full time place kicker. Both punters are solid. Coverage is very good for both teams. ADV. ALABAMA

Coaching - THIS IS THE GREATEST MARGIN OF DISPARITY. See Lesters plan to single cover Julio. This guy might need a huge ble helmet and a place in a loony bin with that kind of talk.(ADVANTAGE ALABAMA)

Score Prediction LSU 0 Bama 647, 000
*** This score is as rediculous and insulting as your origional post

I disagree with several things. First is Miles record at LSU is every bit as good as Nick's was. One can argue it was Nick's recruits, Nick built the program but Les sustained it so let's get over that. Second is LSU recruited well before Nick arrived, maybe not #1 but there is no in state competition for the top players in Louisiana and the state isn't raided by rivals like Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas is. And the guy who posted the silly comparison thread was just trying to be funny IMO. He got the response he expected.

1. Check the threads here and note the Bamafan/LSUfan ratio on who brings up these comparisons. It will surprise you.

2. Les is not short for Lester, . . . Virginia.

I'm sure we will, as soon as he's not coaching against us, trying to beat us. We're as loyal to him as he is to us, for right now.

Thank you. As somebody said last week in a link that I have lost, Nick was The Man when he left LSU. It's tough to follow The Man.

Coach Bryant was The Man at Bama and he built a program and left talent galore and look what happened to his successor. The same with Spurrier--build program, leave talent, successor fails. Name someone who has followed a legendary coach and had a better record? Who came after Lombardi, Stengle, Wooden, Stallings, etc. and suceeded. Les followed The Man at LSU . . . and he's manned up just fine.

True and both Nick and Les got who they wanted in-state, but it should be noted that Les has recruited 49% of his players from out of state in 2005-2008 and this years top-3 class is over 60% from out of state.

Actually Louisiana has a higher per capita ratio of players in Division I football than most states. Since LSU only takes a dozen or so in-state players, Louisiana is traditionally raided by Texas A&M, Arkansas, Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Florida/FSU has had a pipeline to the New Orleans area that Nick and Les have finally stopped.

You said it better than me. LSU for the most part does get who they want instate. Recruiting hasn't been a problem for LSU.

That may be part of the "perception" that bayou (I think) referenced in the earlier thread. My perception is that LSU fans are always doing the comparing, or maybe not comparing just awfully defensive about Miles. You're perception is clearly different. We both see what we want to see to a certain extent, i.e. no one is 100% objective. One of my favorite old sayings is "There are three sides to every story: yours, mine and the truth, which is somewhere in the middle."

As was posted the other day, Miles has done a very good job of following "the Man." Many, many coaches have not done so well.

Yeah, it's short for the much manlier name - Leslie.....
