re: Pretty insightful interview with Smacker Miles

That was a very impressive interview. She's well spoken, very sharp, diplomat , mature and very pretty- Les must be very proud. She comes from very good stock.

This. She really is a pro and will do very well for herself in whatever she chooses to pursue.


Her professionalism was obvious when the moron interviewing her followed up his question about Les' quirky persona, which she deftly and honestly told him was overblown and she really just saw him as a fiery competitor, with a question about what he was thinking when he ate grass as he giggled about it to himself.

You could tell she was a little disappointed that he clearly didn't listen to her previous answer but politely referred back to his competitive nature and something that just happened in the moment.


That moment perfectly captured how frustrating it must have been for Coach Miles and his whole family that no matter how successful he was, the media, not to mention a loud mindless portion of our fanbase, just seemed unwilling or unable to portray him as anything other than a quirky punch line once Saban came back to the SEC and they wanted to portray them as opposites.


Here's to Coach Miles and his family, great representatives of LSU and Louisiana and the driving force behind the most successful decade in LSU football history.
