Best game of the weekend!

Definitely a fun one to watch.

This game deserves OT. This is great

[Cnasty]

A blocked field goal to tie the game and send to OT.

That's a first.

Blocked extra point, for the record.

is that Vince Young at QB?

Hook em!!!!!!!

That was fun.

1. This is why I pay for cable. Anyone who watched that entire game just spent 4 hours and 15 minutes watching. I watched it probably an hour tops, starting it at a little before 10pm cst.

2. It wasn't annoying at all watching 3 or 4 QBs competent QBs making a difference, all of which probably have about as much experience combined as LSU's QB.

So you completely lose the entire fun, atmosphere, build up and environment of how good that game was as you broke it up and fast forwarded through what will be the one of the best games of the season to what, watch more episodes of Mr Robot instead?

[shel311]

Oh yea, that's not remotely worth 1, much less 3 hours

To each their own

Part of enjoying college football as much as I do is when you get games like these with atmospheres like tonight and how it played out.

Just my opinion though.

Fun game... sucks to lose... but was fun to watch!

[Weasel]

That's the best case for cable IMO. I don't tag along through social media while the game is going on so that isn't an issue

When you are an LSU fan, you try to watch as little of that offense as possible. He is just used to skipping through and only watching a few plays.

this kid was a 5 * recruit.

he's definitely skilled, the system is allowing him to shine too obviously.

It ain't about moxy, it's about this.

LSU has never had this under Miles.

Cam Cameron gets talked up quite a bit but he failed in the NFL and he doesn't seem to quite fit the new aged college offensive styles. QB play obviously hurts him but some of that is his tutelage and play call style

Cam Cameron is the worst. i never understood his hype. its not like those Ravens offenses were anything special.

he is like the Paul Pasqualoni of offense. just really really bad but keeps latching on for some reason.

young, innovative, motivated, hungry is so much more appealing than old mediocre and experienced yet teams always fall into that trap.

there are so many talented people on this earth, to go back to mediocre people after they've proven they are mediocre is bad leadership imo. so many bums out there holding on to coaching and playing careers that should never be on rosters. we are continually surprised by young unknown talents, to not keep giving new guys a chance to see if one of them sticks is laziness.

^ i always talk about this to my friends. How sports in general it's just recycling over n over. A coach sucks on Team A, goes to Team B.. he sucks at Team B, gets fired, a C team comes and grabs him. Why? He's failed twice already. He's not cut out for the gig (yet or ever). Try someone new.

there are lots of reasons:

1) relationships
2) it used to be hard to find talented people. if you coached under Bill Parcells 20 years ago you were basically guaranteed a job forever because people just assumed you had magic pixie dust sprinkled on you. now, you could be the head coach at University of New Hampshire then 7 years later be coaching in the NFL. most teams have moved away from the prehistoric ways of finding talent, but some are still stuck in the past. luckily that will change as access to information and pressure from more educated fans forces it to happen. younger and more forward looking people are sprinkled into sports now more than ever.
3) the guy might have actually been good once and may deserve another shot. (rarely the case tho if they've had a few dud jobs)
4) nobody else wants your job and you don't want to embarrass yourself by picking a complete unknown so you pick a name you assume people will respect even tho its a horrible choice. Pasqualoni at UConn fell into this trap. They didn't have many young hot assistants interested in the job, instead of taking some awesome D2 coach or an unknown coordinator they wanted to keep the hype train of UConn going by hiring a 'name' even tho he was a terrible name and terrible coach.
5) reliability. if you've never done something, to assume you can do it cause you're given an opportunity can really blow up in your face. you can put trust in someone to do something then they can fail or quit or not be ready for that challenge and you completely waste your time/resources and have to start over anyways. sometimes in situations like that you wish you had a retread who didn't completely sabotage things

Just had this same exact conversation with my brother in law regards to mark Sanchez and how inexplicably terrible he is as a player yet he continues getting jobs due to number actual options out there.

Ole Miss looked fantastic that opening drive. Made it look way too easy.

[DRiccio21]

their defense looks pretty sick too. losing that CB sucks.

Without DVR, I wouldn't have been able to watch the game and wrap up the 5 straight games of Go Fish I just played!!!
