Too funny!

I seriously don't think Miles strategy comes from that book.

Perfect Knowledge??? I am sure he would have pumped BG for more information that he did if he was a student of the book. hhhmmmmmm.... are maybe he did but won't say.... maybe he says he doesn't read to throw us off. Damn... that crafty bastard.

If he's read the book he probably thinks it was by Sunny Sue

Les arrived @ LSU and made the AD put up his two best assistants and asked them to organize two squads. they laughed. Les ordered them to Mikes cage and appointed two new assistants. the squads fell in line. end of story.

No doubt, the University of Michigan wants to keep this as under the radar as possible. Academia is a haven for dumbasses. Anyone can go to college and get a degree. Not saying the guy's Dexter Manley, just saying he ain't writing the revised version of "The Wealth of Nations" anytime soon, as many of you "Miles got a degree in something other than P.E." crowd members believe.

The Miles' analogy better equates to "The Life of Brian", a man who was mistakenly worshipped and villified for various benign actions in his life.

Spoken like someone who flunked out.

Trust me, there are a lot of people who can't do it in any degree and there is a HUGE percentage who couldn't do it in economics.

Econ requires an understanding of calculus and high level logic.

My Dad mentioned this the other day, and after looking into it, I agree! Les Miles appears to be a student of "The Art of War" - It's a book written in the 6th century B.C. - what most people call "luck" could simply be strategy....

Clearly, you've never read The Art of War.

I think this was the case with the fake field goal against florida, Meyers thought "of course this silly bastard is going to kick a 53 yard field goal."
