One of the best 'What if?" stories on Brees and LSU/Miles

Of course the Brees in Miami is sad to think of but the no Saban to Alabama slant is hilarious...



But hey, at least they still have their team, as mediocre as it always is. You can’t say the same for the poor folks in New Orleans. After Brees chose Miami, the Saints compounded their QB woes by trading a second-round pick for Daunte Culpepper. Then they lost 15 games. Culpepper played only four of them.
Worse for Saints fans was owner Tom Benson’s following through on his threat to move his team to San Antonio. There was consolation for Bayou State fans, though, in the form of the sport’s most beloved coach of the last 30 years: LSU’s Les Miles.
Miles beat Alabama in 10 straight seasons, won 10 straight SEC West titles and earned four national titles to establish himself as arguably the greatest college coach of all time. LSU fans loved his trick plays and quirky personality so much that in 2016 they helped elect him governor, inspired by his urgent campaign slogan, “Time Is Running Out.” Some of Gov. Miles’s new policies are controversial, like the mandatory inclusion of grass in school lunches. And there remain plenty of Louisianans who wonder how Miles can be governor and coach LSU at the same time, but as he points out, “If you have the chest to believe, damn strong men running in the upper quadrant of speed compete like a son of a bitch.” Hard to argue with that.

the rest HERE

only small thing that bothers me in this whole hypothetical is that the dolphins and the colts could not meet in the super bowl.

Instead of beating Manning in the super bowl it's in the AFC champ game. Beats Favre and the Vikings in super bowl.

The question for LSU/Saints fans comes down to what you prefer. You either get 1 NCAA title and 1 Super Bowl or 4 NCAA titles. Give me the former. The only thing that could possibly surpass that single title in the Super Bowl for me is a USA World Cup victory, and I am unsure if that will be better.

I'd rather have the NCAA titles. They would have all been during my college years (except the first). Would have been a blast. And yes I'm saying all this on the Saints board, but I'm a bigger LSU fan than I am Saints fan for sure

Saw a scenario on another board where Brees went to Miami. We just got the Chargers to move to New Orleans.
