So my teenage son was about to have surgery to remove most of his humerus and deltoid muscle. His surgeon is a big Alabama fan. As they are putting my son to sleep and tell him to count backwards from 10 to 1, he looks at Dr and says GEAUX TIGERS. This is in Memphis TN at St Judes. Somehow, through friends, this story makes it to LSU and Les Miles. 2 weeks after surgery my son gets a letter from Les, an autographed picture and a hat. Les actually spelled his first name Haydn correctly (a big deal to my son). And his message was "Porkchop"(his nickname) Fight like a TIGER. Little things like this go unknown to the public. Say what you want about his coaching ability. But in the bigger, picture Les is a good man and a great Tiger. So I say to my son WARRIOR UP and FIGHT LIKE A TIGER!!

Les is a very big man and I'm glad he is our coach. He is iconic and it won't be the same around here when he's finally gone.

He is a great guy and a great coach. Only morons say otherwise.

Best wishes for you and your son.

There are few people who can deny that Les is an awesome person, and these stories just reinforce that fact. He would be the perfect coach if he could just delegate a little more, but I won't digress anymore. Good luck to you and your son.

You, sir are a flaming idiot. This thread is about Les Miles the man and you have to chime in with some arsehole comment.
I guess showing that you are an idiot makes you somehow feel good about yourself.

Les is awesome.

St. Jude is awesome.

I hope and pray your son is doing well post-surgery.

Geaux Haydn; Geaux Porkchop!

Ballsy pre surgery move by your son I usually kiss some serious arse before I go unconscious in the presence of a stranger with sharp objects

But on a serious note, very cool story and prayers sent to your boy for a speedy recovery

The Dr is way cool. He said after the surgery that with that pre surgery comment, you were lucky to come out with an arm. Son came through surgery great. Dr said surgery went better than expected. Of course it did, he is a TIGER!!
