...unbelievably fun and nemorable....these last few years, not so much....I will miss who Les was as a person, and who he was as a Coach when teams still "Feared the HAT"....
Thanks for all you did for LSU and Louisiana Coach!

The 2007 season was magical! That was the year of the hatter. Too bad that spark was rarely seen after that.

his craziness and unpredictability would just drive opposing coaches crazy on the sidelines...you could see them just freaking out during the game!

The first two games of his career foreshadowed everything to come. First the ASU game, the first drive of the Miles era was a 3 and out, then a fake punt out of his own endzone. a big comeback after going down big because of special teams turnovers, then on 4th and 10 a throw from midfield to the endzone actually gets caught and we win.

Then the 2nd game we get a huge lead, blow it. Miles tries to call a timeout after an interception, then we lose in OT to a terrible Tennessee team.

He was always good for making a call that would leave you scratching your head...... even in the best of times. Seems as if he had a lot of extraordinary luck over the years. Particularly in 2007!

"Lesticles" era football was a blast.

I've missed it sorely for the past few seasons.

Had Katrina not happened, we aren't playing 13 weeks in a row, a home game in Arizona, and Tennessee on a Monday night, and 13 weeks straight with no bye week. We could've beat UGA and played for the championship had we not been so beat down. We were close on the first few years, and it was fun!

2001-2007 as a whole was an unbelievable time in lsu football. 3 sec titles and two nattys in 7 years.

2001-2007 was also the best time of my life. i was in my late twenties/early thirties. re-enlisted after 9/11, came home, opened a business in 2004. went well until the housing market crashed, which oddly coincided with lsu football tailing off for a bit.

i'll always remember les being part of it.
