Remember the one about aspiring for championships.

It was the Saban winning influence. It got Tubbs fired and the heat turned up on Miles and Richt.

Alleva's letter at the end of last season about being a nice year but how we aspire for championships.
Some felt it was not ringing endorsement for all that Les had already done for LSU.

is "got a claw inside" an expression I've just never heard before?

I think 99% of Tiger fans interpreted it this way.

Never heard the expression, but you may have a point.

I always thought Alleva jumped the gun with that silly "letter" trying to pacify this bi-polar fanbase, of which many of the bipolar ones hang out on message forums like these.

It's quite easy to see that Miles may feel like Alleva is not 100 percent behind him, and that may make his decision to leave easier.

Well, Miles was 17-9 in 2 yrs and not making any progress toward fixing the situation.

The only "claw" he should have had was a little self-respect for taking $4 mil, and not earning it

What he means to say is-------
craw
Idiom 3.
stick in one's craw, to cause considerable or abiding resentment; rankle: She said I was pompous, and that really stuck in my craw.

A Craw not a claw is in fact a:
–noun 1.
the crop of a bird or insect.
2.
the stomach of an animal.

Jesus Christ, some of you people forget that Les' seat was hotter than Hitler's in the ninth circle of Hell.

I believe the inside issues refer to Miles’ “internal Issues” inside his stomach.
I personally take tagament or prevacid for similar discomfort---- and Highly Recommend it!-------

I take it before every LSU Football Game

Well, anybody that didn't see any progress from 2008 to 2009 wasn't looking very hard.......

When people mangle phrases it gets my undies in a brunch.

The posters point is well taken, I bet Alleva is crawfishin' a little for that.
