We were all showing our appreciation for a coach who loves LSU as much as we do. We were doing this because he was supposed to be going bye bye.

In retrospect, I think most of us would rethink, or at least, explain the reason for our expression of appreciation.

Damn - guaranteed at least one more season of unnecessary angst.

Oh well, I guess there are more important things to worry about.

Yehh. Love him as a person. Appreciate his past accomplishments as coach.. BUT it's time to move on. Texas 2.0. The captain will go down with the ship.

Nobody kept Les because of the cheering in the stands tonight.

Anyone who thinks Les was kept simply because people cheered tonight is a fricking idiot.


Probably the same people who thought that Jimbo was a done deal. fricking idiots.

Aide: Mr. Alleva, Coach Fisher on the phone. He says he's ready to sign and will be in BR on Monday for the introductory press conference. He has tendered his resignation to FSU.

(Crowd starts cheering for Les)

(Alleva panics and takes phone)

Alleva: Jimbo? Yeah, uh...deal's off! Go frick yourself!

(Hangs up phone)

To the 'fricking idiot' guy...

Normally, this would be the case. In our circumstance this week, this is exactly what happened. There are numerous reports highlighting the fact that the fan support, which influenced the media support, influenced the decision. Shoot, just look at the player celebration.

Example:

LSU decision makers felt media had swayed public and if Les Miles was


If you think there was some kind of Rocket Surgery going on here, nope...the all powerful Human Element took hold

Got to say now that I'm actually OK with it but won't have high expectations in the near future
