And it rarely does.
Miles telling the GC that it would be his last game is NOT the situation that is the end all/be all.

Exactly. It doesn't take much brain power to figure out what really happened here. That "leak" essentially saved Les' career.
Without it, he isn't carried off the field, the alma mater interview/song isn't staged, political figures don't get involved, ESPN and the national media don't pile on, and Shaq keeps his mouth shut.
Do we really need to guess what happened here?

Interesting post, haze...I actually had no idea that is how the gridiron club works...
may have to join myself if I am ever in that situation...

Sorry haze.....I didn't read your entire post and posted mine. I went back and read yours and it was pretty much on point. I think the worst part is that the media ran with even though they know that info is supposed to be confidential. Who knows the folks who broke it (please remind me who it came from bc I don't want to blame the wrong person) may have paid someone to be there.

Its about time someone said it. I hope those members of the Gridiron Club who leaked the so-called scoop Friday are discovered and run out of town on a rail.
GC members can't comment but as I haven't been a member for several years, I can. What happened Friday was complete garbage and a violation of club rules. The rules about GC are similar to Fight Club: THe first rule is you don't talk about Fight Club. The second rule is, you don't talk about Fight Club.
That means no posting of anything that happens online nor leaking details to the media or radio talk shows. Doing so is grounds for expulsion from the club.
Gridiron is a good group of guys. Anyone can join who is willing to pay a few hundred dollars a year. The goal is to support LSU football. The money goes directly to Coach Miles and not to pay TAF six figure salaries or go through the sticky fingers that exist in the offices of TAF. The coach can spend it as he sees fit. The dues even count towards your TAF points as well.
The benefit is you get to enjoy a private luncheon on Fridays before home games with the coach. NO MEDIA is allowed. Period. The coach takes questions and its alot of fun. You get to go to a few practices a year although those are usually scrimmages. It does a lot of good for LSU football. There are fat cats in it and there are alot of regular joes too, working stiffs who do ok but want to support LSU and have fun while doing it. Posting anything online or leaking what is said to media is grounds for immediate expulsion.
What took place last Friday was bullshite and goes against everything the club stands for. The problem is, you can't kick anyone out because the year is up. There is also the problem of not knowing exactly who "leaked" the so-called information. That so-called leak did a lot of damage. It wound up on ESPN. The Tiger Rag ran with it and didn't care how much harm it did to LSU. What took place over the last few days was a complete fiasco and that "leak" played a good-sized part in creating more controversy for LSU football- the very opposite of what GC stands for.
Right now, Gridiron is going to be damn lucky if the Coach allows things to continue and give it the same access to the program. Miles will probably not do anything as that is just the type of guy he is. However, there are other coaches who would've pulled the plug and we can all guess who they are.
I wouldn't blame the leadership if it cancelled the first luncheon next season in order to teach a lesson to the members. Just like the military, can't punish one, you punish everyone unless someone confesses.
Whoever the punks are who went running to the media, I hope your day in the sun was worth it. This was not about finding out the truth, this was not about journalism, no, this was all about YOU and LOOK AT ME, I KNOW SOMETHING............ I AM A SOMEBODY!!! You know the type, every disaster that happens, they get on Facebook and say PRAYERS for _____.
I hope you are fricking happy for what you created last week. Why don't you show some balls and come forward, at least to the leadership? No, that would require character, something you didn't display last week.
As I said earlier, I wouldn't blame the club leadership if it cancelled the first luncheon next season just to teach a lesson. The idiots who ran their mouths off really jeopardized something that is a good thing for LSU but unfortunately, will probably not pay a price for doing so.
I hope they go to hell.
Isn't it crystal clear that the report was erroneous? People said that Miles indicated that this would be his last game. Clearly, that hadn't been decided or told to Miles which was the implication.

Tiger Rag is run by kids, literally. The editor is probably 25-26 years old. It would be like your average college age bozo on this board running a magazine that hasn't been relevant in at least 15 years.

Everyone I know on GC talks about what goes on. It's not such a giant secret.
Posted on 11/29/15 at 10:12 pm to Clark W Griswold
Sure. talking is one thing.
Running with it to the media is another.

If only he put as much strategic effort into the game plan vs Bama the last 5x as he did in saving his own job...

I've stated this regularly. It baffles me that more people won't accept this.
The Miles camp trolled the boosters, the media, LSU admin and everyone else concerned with LSU football.
I'm even willing to bet they cooked up the whole "Jimbo has interest" crap in order to sabotage whomever LSU admin was in contact with.

Maybe this should change if you only want people with integrity. Sounds like even a poor idiot who has no financial priorities can join. Poors have big mouths and love attention. It's math and biology at that point.
