I think that it is just sick of them to do to LSU on-air over the last several weeks what they did of making fun. This team is not about the Coaches it is about the players. For them to redicule this team with disrespect I could care less if ever come back here.

I want an demand an apology from ESPN and every single one of them that made jokes about this team and it's program. I think Alleva should back his team up by demanding an apology from ESPN and all of those individuals that did what they did on National TV for all to see.

Sure Miles made mistakes but it does not give ESPN the right to go out and just make fun of a team of kids who work their tails off and do not deserve it. So, if Alleva really wants to help his program he should demand an outright apology from ESPN and the sooner the better.

What they have done could be more harmful than any mistake Miles has made in all the games he has Coached. If these kids feel that they have been mistreated do you think they would fight for their Coach to prove that he is a great Coach and individual. How do you think he keeps their respect? Because they believe in him and will do anything for him. That is the least that Alleva can do for this team and program. JMHO!

Signed A Life Time Fan of LSU!
Casey!

P.S. How do yall feel about this?

Don't make yourself look like an arse. ESPN is doing that for themselves, no reason to get involved.

I didn't see the skit, but....honestly, I'm ok with them.

If the kids need that as motivation, more power to them. ESPN can make all the insults or whatever they want. Apparently it works to our favor, so oh well.

I'd prefer just run the table and continue to make them look like idiots

They didn't make fun of a team of kids. They made fun of miles and his staff after Miles declined an interview to be aired on Gameday.

I'll take the opposite approach...

I would send ESPN a letter thanking them for doing it, then ask if they could do it again the weeks of AU, Bama, and Arky.

I feel like you are an immature kid. LSU doing what they did the last week brought it all on themselves. Coaches mostly.

Eh, LSU deserved to get slammed for the play vs Tennessee. I think Miles and staff deserved every bit of it.

You know that won't happen, but I really think ESPN has mainly been critical of the coaches, not the players. But the best way to silence them is for the Tigers to just take care of business on the field & keep winning games. Then they'll have no choice but to give the team credit for having great players.

Did you see how far "every bit of it" went?

I saw a good representative sample. LSU coaching staff brought it on themselves. Will be somewhat forgotten depending on how the team plays down the stretch.

It could actually help the team and staff in the long run. May motivate Les to actually practice this stuff.

Honestly b.c LSU won this week, it all worked out great for us.

Great publicity, and shows potential recruits that we need a qb.

I think you should bring this level of attention to the ongoing downfall of our republic. Otherwise, nah.

Do you also want a public apology from cbssportsline, cnnsi, collegefootballnews, all local BR media, each and every person that posted something negative on Tigerdroppings? You cannot be that sensitive. This is the continuation of the pussification of America.
