Q & A w/Miles tonight at the Thorpe ceremony

I didn't get the exact wording of the question (near the end of the interview), but Miles was asked someething about having to play Baama again. (I guess the implication was that this had something to do with the loss.) His asnwer was revealing...something like "our approach to that game was the difference and we've learned how to prepare better."

This is a typical Miles statement. He never likes to air the team's dirty laundry in public, whether it concerns an assistant coach, a player, or his own mistakes. He just quietly goes about fixing the problem.

I'm sure he has given a lot of thought to the mistakes he made leading up to and during the NC game, and that he'll correct the problems in his own way and in his own time. (Not to say that his thoughts on the reasons for the loss are completely accurate or that his corrections will be the right ones, but he's got a pretty good track record in that department.) But he's not going to explain his thinking to us, no matter how much we might wish that he would. Whether that's right or wrong is debatable, but it's who he is, and he ain't gonna change.

This times a fricking thousand. So many of the rantards on here just don't get it.
