Lsu has tremendous talent. My issue with them is that I think they win in spite of Les Miles in stead of because Les Miles. Though I like him he has grossly underachieved in my opinion. Even though  Bielema has won fewer games I honestly believe he is doing the best he can with what he has. They had a stat the other day on sports radio about player retention. Bielema is one of the best at player retention in the country. He also makes more NFL players out of 2-3 star recruits than anyone. As much as I loved winning when Bobby P. was here. I think coach B is doing a phenomenal job. He is honest with his players, they seem to stay out of trouble and are seeing increases in Gpa. Maybe one day the stars will line up and we can have that one good season that lifts Arkansas to national prominence. 

Very well said, sir.

That is not an uncommon opinion. He has averaged over 10 wins a season. Would you be satisfied with him if he averaged 11 wins a year? Won a National Championship and played for another (got demolished but got there), does he need a National Championship every 3 rd year or every 5 th year.

You have to give him some credit for recruiting well at the very least and then acknowledge that there is only one football to go around. Guys hone their skills and bail before their senior season. IF LSU could get a Great QB, they would have won another National championship. If Saban wasn't on his historic run, I 5hinj people might look at CLM a little differently as well.

I'm happy with CLM, but we will see how long he can last in BR. The guys pulling the strings are really SPOILED by the last 10 years of success. They seem to forget that everyone plays their butt off and wants to win the Big games.

Im not going to rag on LSU out of respect for Ham. They're obviously not my favorite team or fanbase. Lets face it, we've had some real garbage seasons in the past 10 years. 2012-2013 were excessively painful. LSU has never had a losing season under Miles? that's pretty incredible, if you ask me. I hate that LSU decided to divorce us in favor of the Aggies on thanksgiving. Im sure the LSU fans could care less, much like the Texas fans. They act like Arkansas doesn't exist until they start a losing streak to Ark, then its time to fire Miles. I would say, that's a pretty important game to win for LSU correct? But whatever. We win own them as long as Bert is here getting high on the hog & Miles is still down there eating grass. LF has his lowest output of the season against Ark & I expect more of the same this year. I really look forward to the Ark/LSU game every year. Its always a close game (there were 2 blowouts in the past 10 years). I hate that we have to play Mizzou in a forced rival game. Its stupid, just like BLM. Mizzou better get used to losing this game & most other games until they decide to actually play football again. They came into the SEC & kicked @$$. Now, they're irrelavent & quite emabarassing as a program. Maybe they can go back to the B12 in exchange for Kansas.

Ham. I think if Miles was a great developer of quarterbacks LSU would be in the running for National Champs every year. In my opinion that is the only difference between you guys and Bama. There is a reason he is on the hot seat. The only thing I have against LSU is their fans at football games. I have heard horror stories from people who have attended. Drinks and food being thrown at them and people trying to start fights. I know this goes on in every stadium in the country but I've heard it is crazy down their. Especially a night game.

Ham, LSU has a great, great football program. For Miles and staff to never have a losing season while playing in the brutal SEC is a huge accomplishment.

We'll have to come up with some sort of bet come November ... a spool of Nanofil vs. a couple of War Eagle spinnerbaits ... or something along that line.

The behavior of a lot of LSU fans in BR is despicable. They start drinking on Friday night and are often completely out of their minds by Saturday night. I don't blame anyone that has a bad opinion of LSU or Baton Rouge or Louisiana in general because of that deal. 

I don't like it or approve of that behavior. It seems like that stuff has taken on a life of its own.

Ham,

I hope you can make it over to fayettenam for the Ark/LSU game this year. I'm planning on going with the family, weather permitting. 

[Sore Thumbs]

Hope you get to go. It's a good time. Heck of a lot closer drive.
