Watched the replay of the lunch interview and questions ... Lotsa ESPN & BAMMER journalists at the luncheon They tried to whittle out scraps from Les ... but he was masterful and crafty with the words as always ... Les seemed to be enjoying the heck outta his time at the luncheon ... This loose confident attitude is what our players carry into the game ... Big Advantage LSU
Les quotes. ON DEFENSE: "The contact that takes place when our defense is on the field is very sincere." ON RELATIONSHIP WITH NICK: "I don't know that we've sent a bunch of letters back and forth. I have great respect for the very strong, capable coach at Alabama."
One thing is for certain ... nobody is going to take any hints away from that first half of the interview. .... listening to him talk is like sitting on a cactus. Maybe he gets more substance in in the second half. Right now, I have to go carve pumpkins . ... and put on my orange and black pumpikin shirt!! :rofl::rofl: That was hilarious.
i was listening while eating lunch today. when he said he came down to the breakfast and "there was a witch sitting at the breakfast table, no not my wife, macy grace dressed for halloween" i almost spit diet dp onto my laptop screen. and the little "rant" about the orange and black shirt was funny. he was in good humor today.
I watched both the Miles presser and Saban's.....what a contrast! You can feel how big this game is as both seemed a little more guarded than usual, especially in direct reference to the opposing coach. But of the two Saban seems tight as a drum....I can see how his demeanor can sometimes translate into a team playing tight. If LSU's football team can keep it as loose as Miles I like our chances.
