re: Why the hate for Miles this morning?

I thought it was a great win. Miles did a very good job of containing the damage, and correcting it.

I think the 2 most focused and motivated teams that played this weekend, based on what I saw, were A&M and Wisconsin. Both were good teams that were being (or perceived they were) majorly disrespected, had no chance, etc, despite having proven systems. A&M had the "no more JFF" factor, Wisconsin had the "Big 10 can't touch the SEC" factor. Both teams came out to prove a point.

South Carolina got punched in the mouth hard, and Steve Spurrier couldn't turn it around.

LSU got punched in the mouth hard too, but Les Miles was able to get his team refocused. They sucked it all up and fought hard enough to overcome the hole they were in, and won.

Carolina was ranked higher than we were, Wisconsin was ranked higher than A&M was. But I guarantee had Spurrier been able to rally his team to victory, he would be hailed as a great coach, and A&M would be given props for playing lights-out, despite having big holes in their defense. Here, Les did rally the team, but he's a dumbass who holds the players back, and Wisconsin was an overrated team who shouldn't be ranked because they can't pass.
