We need a breath of fresh air.

This SEC defensive coordinator coaches salaries turn of event at LSU/Texas A&M would not hurt my feeling at all if coach Chavis does feel like that Texas A&M is a better place to coach than LSU, so don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Because the replacement at this stage of the game after watching Notre Dame run up and down the field on our LSU defense is starting to feel like a new breath of fresh air to everyone LSU now, and something that we would like to breathe again.

It is the people in our life that make the different in our own life, so choose wisely LSU and may some good luck follow.

"At this point it appears likely that Chavis will take the A&M job and that an announcement will be made soon, but that is far from certain. Coach Miles danced around the question in his post-game press conference, and Coach Chavis became testy when asked about it and refused to comment. If Chavis does leave, there’s a good chance that defensive line coach Brick Haley will go along with him, and that could be devastating for LSU’s 2015 recruiting efforts. As for who would replace Chavis should he leave, two men being mentioned are Alabama linebackers coach Kevin Steele and Louisiana-native Ed Orgeron, an assistant at USC and head coach at Ole Miss from 2005-07."

3 points or 7 what does it matter?

LSU coaches, quarterback Brad Kragthorpe say they believe he scored on fake field goal vs. Notre Dame

Advocate staff photo by BILL FEIG -- LSU quarterback Brad Kragthorpe dives for the end zone on a fake field goal as Notre Dame safety Max Redfield (10), linebacker Jaylon Smith (9) and safety Elijah Shumate (22) defend late in the first half Tuesday at the Music City Bowl. Officials ruled Kragthorpe down inside the 1-yard line.

Thomas Williams: · Top Commenter ·People coaching pro football hardly ever pass up 3 points with an in front of the goalpost FG. And my friends thought at the time since LSU failed to score after using up three downs trying to make a TD, that Les Miles should kicked that high percentage FG. And go into the half up my 3 points, and receiving the ball to start the second half. That turn out to be a sound feeling to play the percentages instead of the fake FG that turnout not to be the right move in hind sight also. Because LSU did score another TD starting the second half. And what was that squib kicking stuff on the opening kickoff all about and throughout the football game, giving Notre Dame Field position?

The LSU man did break the goal line plane before he was down on the fake field goal, and that point difference would have made LSU the winner of that football game instead.

I think that because of that crazy turn of events over that FG that LSU mismanagement simply played into the hands of what Notre Dame was trying to do to win. And not playing Harris, not giving RB Leonard Fournette enough touches, not doing this, and not doing that, seems to me that Les Miles is in denial of his own mismanagement of the LSU football team. I wonder what Les Miles think is the reason that the LSU tigers lost that football game to Notre Dame fighting Irish?

It can’t be that the referees stole that LSU victory from him, right?

Good morning shiver, shiver, shiver, brrrrrrr....LSU is a very badly mismanaged college football program as the rest of college football lives on. Notre Dame 31 LSU 28.

Something must be wrong in the people who have money and own all of the real levers of power in Louisiana? Because no one seems to have a handle on how to hire the right people to help make the Louisiana football fans prideful instead of feeling like that they keep getting the short end of the stick. So how long can those mismanagement failures go on with the paying college football fans who have so much enjoyment going to watch the LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints play a very competitive football game.

How long can the fun last before the Louisiana football fan chain get pulled once to often by the guys with the money - who really don't seem to care how short changed the Louisiana football fans feel? 

What do you think tiger fans?

Thomas Williams: comments

Who do you think should Chivas get more money for coaching that game?

And can anyone in their right mind blame the college football players for a football team losing a football game that they should have won? No, of course not.

So what is the reason that a football team with very good football players lose a football game like the one LSU played against Notre Dame?

Is it the Louisiana Sports writers fault, or the demanding LSU football fans, or bad luck that is somehow blowing in the wind?

Could it possibly be the men who are working on the LSU coaching staff?

I will just take a wild guess at saying. It very well could be that the LSU college football team were not managed as well as the Notre Dame fighting Irish college football team. What do you think tiger fans?

But wait, isn't this the same fickle fan base that time and time again says "throw the ball".   Hmmm, so which one is it...run the ball more....pass the ball more?  Oh wait, we will use the old Will Rogers stock market line, "buy low and sell high.  If it isn't low, don't buy it."

@LSU fan You run when a guy is hot like Fournette. Chubb from Georgia ran for 263 yards on Louisville. Why? He had 33 carries.

John Roach, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune 5 hours ago"Eleven carries?" Great question, Ron.

I mean really Washington DC who is kidding who now?

 Tinker

Tell me, do you really think that the majority of the black American and Spanish-Mexican people are going to want to fight against the white Caucasian Americans over their race, religion, region, and skin color.

Well I don't believe that at all and just as soon as a political leader comes along with the right stuff, that will be the next real political wave that will privilege over the rest, and in the near future.

Like Roland Reagan went into office with what was then called the “Democratic Republicans.” I think that the next political leaders that comes along with the level headed commons sense point of view as the American people themselves will be able to get a lot of people voting for him or her, who are currently Republican/Democrat. And if the Republicans that have just been elected into the majority in Congress now don't stop following along with the Washington DC establishment, like the Rockefeller Republicans - that these guys too will be fresh out of luck and out of a job in the U.S. Congress. 

Because really guys the people living in the United States are very tired of hearing about the same old bull talk that the Washington DC establishment have been getting elected on these past 60 years. The American people have caught on to their TV Show, for only the Show sake. And the media will not be able to carry them much longer into the future. And someone very soon will get to the substance of the matter and all of who are in the White House and Congress now will simply not be there anymore. I mean really Washington DC who is kidding who now?

What is very troubling to me now however is...

Thomas Williams commented on an article.

"It’s time to leave 2014 behind, and good riddance. The 2015 season awaits, and it could be big."

What is very troubling to me now however is if Coach Chavis goes to Texas A&M - because if he does this LSU football program can't help but to suffer over his lost. That and a very uncertain LSU offense in 2015 is enough to make me wonder just how far away can another Championship be for the beloved LSU Fighting tiger college football team?

It is the people in our life that makes the difference

This may just be the most "racist" article you will ever read, and it will no doubt inflame many, but we cannot have an open "conversation about race" in this country until we accept the truth. http://allenbwest.com/…/quite-possibly-racist-article-will…/

Thomas Williams: This is an interesting column about the percentages of crime committed by Black, Spanish-Mexican, White, Asians, and different people by race living in America. But I dare say the crimes that people commit are not because of the color of their skin. That we see a larger number of crimes committed in the black American communities are simply because of the way they were raised, or not raised in a criminals case. I really don't understand luck but the truth of the matter is that the way you are raised is just about everything.

And who your parents are is a matter of luck and because of that we have a social problem in our community and population we are living. It is not the Schools, Government Institutions, or Criminal Justice system, or who the President is. But plain and simply who the people are raised by is the reason, or reasons, why some children thrive when other children fail. It is the parents’ responsibility and fault and the reason that a child become a model citizen, or chump in jail. Color has nothing at all to do with it...I heard a popular country singer tell the story how when he was 14 years old his Mother pick up another man and then stopped their car on the side of a country road, and put him out and drove away out of his life forever. But luckily he ask a man at a close by farm house for a job and that man had a kind wife who took him under their roof, and raised him. And God gave this young boy a nice singing voice, and the kindness of his new family went on to saved his life from worse harm then he had already been through.

It is the people in our life that makes the difference in our life and not what we look like, or how we want to look, that really matters.

I am afraid that you won’t give mercy to people you want mercy from and because of that unforgiving attitude our community of people (just because of luck) will become a hell on earth and a society of fang and claws living on crud cruelty driven by terror and a place like the very first centuries were before we were born. And that we as a population of men and women children simply cannot be civilize and stay savages not much better off than the most mindless animals around us. And I wonder sometimes reading the news about the unlucky people in jail, is that how we really want to live too?

If I gave or help that man in jail above in this picture earn a job would he go on to live better, or would he turn around and kill me instead?
