re: LSU as a brand is taking a huge beating nationally

stop trippin', alleva isn't the problem... as far as the whole LSU taking a beating nationally, it's just the flavor of the week... a week after miles is gone, bigger and fresher stories will pop up to replace the miles firing story. trust me, if we get jimbo, chip, herman or one of the other top names out there, then the majority of the media will change gears and cover the hiring from a positive angle or at the very least they'll back off the whole 'LSU fans are spoiled children for wanting miles gone' thing.
