    Les Miles Monday Presser:

    I sincerely feel Les is improving in terms of public speaking and I applaud him for this.
    facts:
    You will excuse me if I point out that Kent State is a good football team and has more than enough to give LSU plenty of problems. (as coach Miles points out in his Monday Presser)
    trivia:
    NickSaban had not intended to enter coaching until Don James, his coach at Kent State made him a graduate assistant while he waited for his wife to graduate. He later served as an assistant coach at Syracuse, West Virginia, Ohio State, Navy and Michigan State in NCAA Division I-A, and with the Houston Oilers and Cleveland Browns in the National Football League. Saban is considered part of the Bill Belichick coaching tree, having worked under him in Cleveland.

    Kent State History:
    The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre) occurred at Kent State University in the U.S. city of Kent, Ohio, and involved the shooting of unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970. The guardsmen fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.
    Some of the students who were shot had been protesting against the Cambodian Campaign, which President Richard Nixon announced during a television address on April 30. Other students who were shot had been walking nearby or observing the protest from a distance.

    What is Miles supposed to say, " We're going to beat the dog shit out of Kent State Saturday because we have athletes and they have pretenders, they know it, we know it, and everyone in the country knows it"? It's coach speak and respect for your opponent. Miles is a gentleman, not a prick. Get a clue dip shit. If you think this game is going to be close then you're a special kind of dummy. This game like the UAB game is going to be a blow out, over before it even starts. Oh and next time you put Trivia over a block of words, add a question in it... otherwise it's just a neat little tid bit or interesting fact.

    The leading rusher and receiver from last years 11-3 team returns. Dri Archer was the leading rusher with 1482 yds. he is also the leading receiver from last year with 561 yds. There is some talk he may not play, nicked (Lesisam). The 11 win season allowed the HC from last year to get the Purdue job this year.

    Actually not. You must not know Smilodon very well. He commonly roots against us in hopes he can complain about Miles and justify his extreme hatred for him.

    You might be right, but I refuse to apologise. He does his best to try and put down LSU while posting his love fest for the Lame every chance he gets. On a side note I am trying to quit the dip so i'm a bit crankier than normal.
