I was surprised that Miles and the Michigan AD actually went to a barbecue place to talk turkey.

I mean, I figured they'd go to Ruth's Chris or someplace like that if they went to a restaurant.

I made a joke that they were at Raising Canes by the front entrance. The Michigan boards picked that one up and ran with it.

JJ wouldn't walk off the field and pout after his constant mistakes then sit alone on the bench and sulk.

Thats because you really don't know anything about football.

Maybe he'd drop Pelini's histrionic arse. It's happened before.

There's always that segment that I'm talking about. At least you don't pretend that results have something to do with it.

You are not only clueless, you are an idiot. There is an opportunity to make great progress in womens BB, and all you do is pout about it. The only major program we have now that is sucessfull is football, and you want to hammer that too, LSU doesn't need pouters, we need true fans.........

A 5 loss season, then a 4 loss season.

Last year a two loss season - with UNC dropping a pass in the endzone that would have beat us and well you know all about the Tennessee game. Those two are games we won last year, but any other year could be losses. I want to win and win convincingly .. or at least not depend on others screwing up. Potentially 3 years with 4 straight losses. Unreal with our talent.

We'll see this year. Hopefully i'm wrong and will gladly (because i want LSU to do well) admit if i am. I'm not trying to flame, but this is why i feel that way i do.

That was not surprising at all.

Of all the options that were available, Miles was clearly the best.

Were there a better option, there would have been less support for Miles.

If you are trying to persuade/convince me that your dislike for Miles has something to do with results, you are coming up short.

Pelini almost lost his job due to his anger management issues, and embarrased the Nebraska University. That was the first time I questioned his ability to coach LSU.

When he punked an American soldier and veteran in the bowl game, it sealed the deal. I think he would destroy everything that has been built to this point for LSU.

You'd want a coach who is about to turn 70 this year?
