Congratulations Arky, you got Les a nice raise that was overdue. Does your new coach have an 80% winning % playing in the SEC????

Why does everyone think TN = UT-Knoxville? I lived in Tennessee when I made the account. I now live in Philly. I'm an LSU alum. Hence the sig pic.

Long played LSU like a fiddle. He let Miles and his agent leak the untrue story that Arkansas had offered Miles. LSU took the bait and gave Miles a raise and contract extension thereby shackling the Tigers with Miles for several more years.

Hell, Arkansas almost beat LSU with John L. Smith! John L. Smith! Think about that for a moment. John L. Smith! Meanwhile, Long made a great hire for less money. That’s pure genius!

3 straight BCS bowls for Wisconsin with not a single recruiting class ranked in the top 25.

Lester has Top 5 recruiting classes and 1 SEC title to show for it, and the all time record for backing into a BCS title game where the LSU team out-talented another underworld infested Ohio St. team.

Arkansas fans are officially the most delusional fanbase in America...

and they can't count...Miles has 2 SEC titles and 1 National Championship win and 2 National Championship game appearances. Pretty good resume...much better than anything BB has done...

Miles considered the job about like we considered him - very little.

Sorry chap, LSU took that title from us a LOOOOOONG time ago, and I do believe Tenner fans have wriggled it away for the time being.

Believing we're delusional is proof enough that you're a delusional fan. 2012 LSU best team in history of college football = Chick Fil A bowl = 2013 LSU will definitely be the best team in history.

2012 SEC Champs Alabama
2011 SEC Champs LSU
2010 SEC Champs Auburn

2012 B1G champs Wisky
2011 B1G champs Wisky
2010 B1G champs Wisky

is it that hard to understand?

Everyone says this but what it tells me is that the only way to beat a bielema team is to cheat your arse off.

What about all the other loses this year to teams not on probation? I like the guy but he's just not going to be able to get it done in this conference. Our day will eventually come when we get to say, I told you so

Winning the B1G three times in a row with the comparative recruiting disadvantages that Wisconsin has is huge. Way better than the accomplishments that Miles has trumped up with one of the richest talent bases in the country. Miles has underachieved big time.

What this guy said.

The offer and all the talks were real. In fact Long is pretty pissed at Miles for doing what he did to him.

Approach him, etc.....
