LSU Tiger

I always thought that LSU should have a Voodoo queen standing in the opposing teams tunnel dancing, casting spells and holding live snakes over her head when they come onto the field. That would be scarier than Mike the Tiger.

My take is that at least 85 percent of what he wrote is utter bullshite. The guy takes actual events and dresses them up like Christmas trees.

John Ed, if you read this then please get over the USC game. The Trojans won - the Tigers lost. Find another reason to live.

ETA: John Ed, I'm really happy that you managed to get laid. So have most of us. But most of us don't talk about it or name names.

Years ago people would meet at Ramparts in Alexandria, but I don't know if the place is even still there.

Les is not the same man as Tommy Tubberville. Les made a decision and will stick with it until an appropriate time to make a change. Les will not toss someone under the bus in mid season.

Les came to LSU following the most popular coach in our history. He knew that and accepted the challenge.

Les played for Michigan and lettered twice under the greatest and most honorable coach they had since Fielding Yost.

If Les looked over his shoulder and told me to take this hill then I would follow him to the top. If Nick Saban said let's take this hill then I'd be looking over my shoulder waiting for that son of a bitch to shoot me in the back.

Les knows loyalty and integrity. He not only preaches it he lives it.

Les knows that adversity breeds character and he will lead us through this.

Les Miles is a man's man. He is the example of what I hope my son grows to be.

FEAR THE HAT.

Saban came here for the $$$

That and the fact that Louisiana was a coach's dream of a recruiting area - and LSU was the only game in town.

If you don't believe me then believe Little Nicky. He said so himself.

And I will not provide a link. Find it yourself.

Where does TAF money come from?

Gee, I don't know. Congressional earmarks?

Miles came in after Saban to a team any coach could have won with.

Saban walked into a situation that would have given any coach a perpetual erection, namely the Tiger Athletic Foundation.

I hate to say it, but LSU through TAF is school that made it more profitable to be a mediocre college football coach than to find a cure for cancer. Little Nicky may well have filled the seats in Tiger Stadium, but TAF put them there and it is what payed for the academic center and all the other athletic upgrades. Anyone who does not realize that is an idiot.

FEAR THE HAT!

Saban is lucky?

You're right. He isn't lucky. LSU deserved to go to the SECCG to face Tennessee after LOSING THREE conference games. One of them to Tennessee. He wasn't lucky that LSU made it into the 2003 BCS championship game because Idaho beat Hawaii the last weekend of the season - or some equally ridiculous teams that I cannot remember the names of.

Sure Les' LSU team is the only two loss team to ever win the national championship. But there was a time when money did not dictate and college football seasons were shorter. I guess it doesn't matter that several 10-1 teams have been national champions - and one or two of them were instead of an undefeated team.

Now, go cheer for Saban and Bammer.

FEAR THE HAT!

LES MILES > Little Nicky

Why don't you have a pink elephant with huge red lips and fake eyelashes wearing a tutu? The critter can be carrying a parasol and underneath it should read, "Stroll Tide."

I not only think they can I think they will. I offered to bet a Gump alumnus 50 bucks with no points and he wouldn't take it.
