    He's also the only back that's been healthy all season long. He'd have far fewer carries if Khiry Robinson were not on IR.

    Good point. I was gonna go just for the historical relevance but I'm not now.

    Following up this thought, The Advocate reported this morning that of LSU's allotment of 8200 Texas Bowl tickets, only 400 remain. A near sellout that quickly....I don't know how Alleva and the BoS are supposed to react to this other than to think that the fanbase is happy with how things are going.

    They were talking about this on the radio yesterday, most were already sold to season ticket holders. Plus it's in Houston, there are probably 8200 LSU fans living on Main Street or Kirby alone.

    What's the buyout THIS time? 50,000,000 dollars. That should guarantee retirement at LSU.

    Yeh, I figured being right there in Houston was going to make it an easy sell.

    Will be lots of cheap tickets if you wait long enough.

    He's not getting a new contract, at least that hasn't been reported yet.

    Miles is signed through 2019.

    According to an article on NOLA.com, his buyout goes down to $12.9 million for the next 2 seasons

    Yes, if it weren't in a texas or Georgia they would be having a much harder time selling them. I bet the waiting list for season tickets goes way down next year.

    Not unless it costs money to be on list. Waiting to see if shit gets better is free.
