CLM has been in bed with the seniors on the team ever since he got here.

Ah, so that's why Tyrann Mathieu AND Tharold Simon are starting ahead of Ron Brooks, Sam Montgomery is starting ahead of Chancey Aghayere and Lavar Edwards, Brockers and Logan are starting ahead of Dennis Johnson and Josh Downs, Faulk and Hurst are starting ahead of Shaw, and why Beckham started ahead of Boone and Wright.

People have been spouting that idiocy to justify their own deluded sense of "talent evaluation" ever since the Hester/Keiland days, and it's gotten even sillier since then. Miles starts the players that will give us the best chance to win, and more often than not those players are the ones with great talent AND more experience (just like every other highly successful program). But the long, LONG list of underclassmen that he has started ahead of more veteran players demonstrates how laughably ignorant some people are when they insist that Miles only goes by seniority.
