Mountain Damn Values from the Paint Rock River Valley

Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

Les Miles Press Conference [YouTube]; It was Herbie’s Master Plan

Les Miles has done enough to commit himself to LSU. He won’t back out of the Bayou and do a Saban. Talk about freaking good karma. Les commits to LSU then WVU and Mizzou both choke. LSU is the SEC Champion and now going to the National Championship? Are you f’n kidding me? And……..Remember that…

Les Miles has done enough to commit himself to LSU. He won’t back out of the Bayou and do a Saban. Talk about freaking good karma. Les commits to LSU then WVU and Mizzou both choke. LSU is the SEC Champion and now going to the National Championship? Are you f’n kidding me?

And……..Remember that it was Kirk Herbstreit, tOSU Failboat alum, that started the Miles to Michigan rumor. He knew that force Miles’ to make the decision between LSU and Michigan. So if Michigan lost out on Miles, it was Herbstreit’s fault.

Now, all we need is for the SEC to embarass Ohio State again and maybe they will stop letting the waste of space Failboats into the national championship game on a cupcake schedule.

Michigan will have to go look for someone else quickly before their recruits get spooked and end up going elsewhere.

    possibly the dumbest comment ever?

    Could be.

    I actually took the post in a positive light. I don’t have a problem with Herbstreit “breaking” the story, but I question his ethics as to the timing. Miles was visibly pissed, and I almost think he made a snap decision to stay put just to make Herbsteit look bad. ESPN should clean house, and get some objectivity in there. Then again, the real stars of college FB are either playing on Sunday, or are filthy rich from playing on Sunday, and don’t need a job, or are smart enough to have careers outside of FB.

    If by dumbest comment ever you mean that I’d be pretty sore too if I hated corndogs as much as you and made a photo blog to record Tennessee’s “Day of Destiny,” only to see them choke it up, then yeah! Dumbest comment ever!

    The SEC will probably embarrass the Big Ten again. Of course Tennessee had nothing to do with that last year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t help out the SEC again this year.

    I thought it was kinda rediculous about the timing.. Les Miles isn’t a bad guy. He’s just nuts, thats all..

    He did a good job of shutting them up, and turning it around… To be honest, with all the drama this past weekend, and all the teams in the Top 6, trying to “sell” their shit to the voters.. Miles did a DAMN good job of keeping LSU on TV and in the minds of everyone.

    Sore losers?? Nahh.. Everyone talks shit here, but I’ll be damned if there are any bad sports on here.. Everyone does it, but it’s all SEC mostly(save for some of you BE, B10 queers)..

    I hate UT, and LSU, and Auburn.. However, when it gets to the marbles, as much as I’d piss in a LSU hat, or wipe the mud off my truck with a UT shirt.. I’d raise a beer and wish them well in anything that involves crystal, gold, silver, titties and money.

    @9 Miles is unequal parts nuts,guts, and occasional stupidity, with the actual percentages dependent on the situation, and what side of bed he got up on. The stupidity part has shown recently with his repeatedly mentioning that “undefeated in regulation” thing. Man, if he brings that up one more time, I’m going to drive down to Baton Rouge and take a dump in that hat. However, I did like how he came on TV and made Herbstreit look kind of foolish, although I’m not convinced he’s staying until Michigan has signed someone.

    @8 Yeah, they’re about as boring as Penn State was last year. I guess that’s the excuse Tennessee fans had last year for their “debacle” in Tampa. The team was so bored, they just “fell asleep.”

    Just don’t get too stoked over Miles until there is a coach signed at scUM. Remember that

    @12 I’m guessing that Fulmer will wake his players up at halftime, and then they’ll nod off again once Wisconsin starts running up the middle in the 2nd half.

    in recent yrs where the big ten has allowed more than just one team to attend bowl games they have kicked sec ass all over the field – o except for the florida game so keep riding on that one hard – osu will beat lsu by at least 2 tds january

    * The Big Ten is 13-13 vs. the SEC in bowl games over the last decade.
    * Over the last nine years of Bowl Championship Series games, the Big Ten leads all conferences with 15 berths while ranking second with eight victories. The SEC tops all leagues with nine wins and ranks second to the Big Ten with 13 appearances.
    * In the last 10 years the Big Ten has produced two national champions compared to three for the SEC.
    * In the last 15 years the Big Ten has produced five Heisman Trophy winners, more than any other conference. Over that same time span, the SEC has claimed one Heisman.
    * While the SEC ranked first among various recruiting rankings, the Big Ten ranked second or third nationally with four to five programs rated among the top 25 recruiting classes.
    * The Big Ten has a history of developing players – the most recent Heisman Trophy winner, Troy Smith, was one of the last players to receive a scholarship from Ohio State.
    * The Big Ten has slightly less than 300 players in the NFL while the SEC has slightly more than 300; Sixteen former Big Ten players earned Super Bowl rings with the Indianapolis Colts earlier this month.
