    My 2 cents:

    If you think Louisiana is bad in the red neck category, try living in gumpville. I can tell you for personal experience some of the biggest hicks are gump fans. Yes there are crazy Cajun LSU fans but go to some of the small towns in gumpland and you will feel like you walked into Deliverance with a gump hat on. Ironically I have found that the douche bags tend to be the warchicken fans.

    Hell I would go out on a limb and say R-kansas fans are more high class than gump fans (but not by much)

    Cullman...Man I spent a month there one week. Had a friend (now deceased) that lived there and I think my eyes are too brown to be in that part of the country. Too many wooden crosses and rebel flags in the front yards.

    Great hunting ground. We had a blast, they lived on land that went for miles. You literally had to drive from one end of his property to the other. He had cattle and chicken farms. Didn't smell to good, but plenty of deer to shoot at.

    Leslie's agent will make sure there is just enough chatter to bilk LSU out of another million a year.

    You're missing my point. LSU might be "a" dream job for any coach, but people perceive Michigan to be Les' dream job because he played for Michigan. Is there anyone out there with LSU ties that is worthy of the LSU job, and who would see LSU as the place he wanted to coach until he died, not just until "something better" came along?

    A lot goes into making a job a good one these days. Money, recruiting base, facilities, national brand, winning tradition, current talent level....ect. often overlooked is the political situation in the AD's office, the board of supervisors and the pressure to win now. Michigan's status has shrunk considerably in several of those areas. It is not nearly the job it once was. It's going to be much harder to bring Michigan back to relevance than would have been 10 years ago. Any established winning coach in a major conference would have a hard time justifying the move IMO.
