re: Anyone else lose some respect for Miles?

No.
These are modern gladiators and not exactly of the same mentality of the general population.
Are you expecting Miles to field a bunch of PC choirboys?

This is like a kennel full of pitt bulls and occasionally an overconfident Chihuahua gets eaten.

What's with you "Justice must be served!!!!!" town criers anyway?
This is between Miles, Team LSU, and Hill. There are wales, innocent game animals and global warming that need your voice, so hurry to their defense

You call 3 months during the summer being "suspended"

Yes. Words mean things. He was suspended.

I'm not saying kick him off the team or suspend a season but for something like that he should at least get a few games

Something like what? A guy who had been in no trouble at all while an LSU Tiger threw one punch at a guy in a parking lot that amounted to the guy getting up.

My problem with all this is that far more people seem to be emotionally manipulated by the press into thinking this is some moral outrage and SOMETHING has to be done, rather than simply looking at the actual incident and judging it on it's on merit.

That Les will stick by your side even through the hard times without jumping to conclusions and making rash decisions? Yeah, if my kid was being recruited by LSU I would hate that about Les.

In what way?

LSU has less off the field issues than most of the rest of the SEC.

Miles has kicked off stars when he's deemed it necessary and the issue warranted that. The fact that he did not do that in this case tells me that he looks at each individual case and makes a decision...no one size fits all solutions.

If anything, I'd say this earns him respect from parents of recruits because it would tell me HE's running the program and not allowing members of the press or ex-AD's to tell him what he ought to do. I certainly would not want my son's future to be in the hands of assholes writing articles for the sole purpose of gaining hit counts...

Well said

Exactly.

And another thing, this shows what is wrong with our current laws. Dude can get his tank sucked at age 17 then wake up hours later and try it again on his 18th birthday and get charged with a felony and get deemed a monster and predator. It's ridiculous.

Glad someone does

I hear fishing is slow this time of year so keep trolling.
