The problem with the Miles Radio Show...

also the sound system in TJ Ribs is terrible

quote:

---

He isn't concerned with sharing the gameplan with you (or the other team). He doesn't really care if someone wants Shep to throw the ball, or Ford to play

nor should he. I don't understand why people are so stupid about this.

Coach speak is awful. He's got to answer your question, but can't really give away any inside information. So you get a nice long show, where they talk about nothing.

Has anything of substance come from the show besides injury updates?

I find it funny that they actually call it a call in show. I listened for 15 minutes last night and if there wasn't a screen, filter, background check thing going on I'd be surprised as hell.

Who the frick compliments a coach for his gameplan after a win like that. Seriously...WTF.

---

I listened last night for the first time ever. About 20 minutes in I had enough. Nothing but compliments for the game plan and execution!

I like Bilj's idea of just calling in and dropping f bombs

The Miles radio show is similar to how oppressive dictators control the media to portrait a postive view of themselves and the situation to the public

Miles Radio Show...

The show is pretty worthless...do people really expect to get an honest, intelligent answer out of Miles?? Have they not learned anything yet??

Yeah, the sunshine and rainbows bit is useless. But sadly, it won't ever change.

He doesn't have to show his hand, but he could at least talk about the last game. We KNOW they play hard, and we KNOW we're 5-0. Give us some kind of substance:
what did LSU do for scheming?
how effective was it?
he can talk about how the other team reacted and how we adjusted.

And please... work on eliminating the Uhhs and Umms. A 3 to 1 Uh to word ratio is not a good ratio!

It's full of generic talk, a lot of 'want to's, and people with stories like:

Caller: "Coach, my dad drove through LSU back in 1958. He drove on Highland I think. He had a '41 Ford truck and we listened to the game on the radio in the living room. He never finished ninth grade but he loved LSU. He and my mom had intercourse one night and I was born nine months later. He showed me that '41 Ford. It was black and rode really rough. Not like these trucks nowadays. His dad, my grandad, worked at a store where Biff Jones and Bernie Moore used to come in. Coach, you know that track stadium is named after him."

Les: "I have a want to know that."

Caller: "My grandad said that Bernie Moore was a real nice guy. My grandad also said that ol Huey Long may have run off Coach Jones. Hell, I remember when coach Dietzel was there.... and Cholly Moc. I really thought Stovall would've done better. Coach, have you ever had a player named Nacho play for you?"

Les: "Not that I want to remember."

Caller: "I like nachos if they're made right. Coach, I thought you were great during Hurricane Katrina. My dad said that hurricane in '47 was purty bad. I rememeber Flossy and Audrey. It rained a whole mess a lot coach. I think you're doing a great job. Let's Geaux Tigers."

Yeah. I turned it off after 10 minutes, but thanks for the transcript.
