Booger McFarland story

Have been reading this site for years, but have never posted. I guess yesterday motivated me. I figured I'd go with a quick story as my first post.

As several others have mentioned, Booger McFarland provides by far the most rational and accurate assessment of the state of LSU football. Watching him speak last night reminded me of a story from circa 1997, when I was in an Accounting class with him.

During class one day, a sorority girl (forgot which one) made the comment that he asked a lot of questions in class for a football player. It was said in a manner that came across as a backhanded compliment. His response (paraphrasing) was : "I'm probably going to have a lot of money and I want to know what to do with it." I never forgot that story; I've told it to both my students and subordinates for years.

I'm glad someone like him is still an ambassador for LSU. Last night, he clearly articulated the message that I believe so many of us think: we want the Tigers to be as successful as possible and the only way to maximize our success is to change something. If Miles will change, everyone that supports LSU football will gladly get behind him 100%. If he doesn't, November 2016 will be a repeat of this past month. Its not necessarily the wins or losses; its the process, implementation and product. If our best possible effort, from head coach to practice squad player falls short, so be it. We just want the best for our guys; right now, we are falling short.
