    LSU coach’s message to A&M, Mizzou: ‘Strap it up’

    When commenting on the additions of Texas A&M and Missouri to the SEC, Miles summed it up as only Miles could, as reported by Jon Solomon of the Birmingham News.

    “I would say strap it up,” Miles said. “They’re going to really not enjoy their welcoming to this conference.”
    Strap it up, indeed.

    That's a real cool quote from Les Miles....especially since the aTm mantra is: "Strap it on !!" ;)

    I love Miles. My daughter does, too. We're in the middle of typing what will end up being a 6 or 7-page biography report on him for her 5th grade language arts class.

    love the "strap it up", but why does he then have to confirm his wackiness by supporting spurrier's stupid division champ idea?

    This is why Les can hang out in my man-cave anytime. In the same speech, with gusto:

    "A lot of people ask me, 'why would you tell those people you want to play that team?'" Miles said, "Because I wanted it to be the best playing the best. I wanted the greatest competition. They got it right last year."

    Yeah unfortunately I agree. If the premise of the BCS national championship game is pit the 2 best teams in the country against each other, then that statement is 100% true.

    b_leblanc hahaha, i thought the same thing, maybe he wanted to say, lace em up?

    The definition of "best" will always be the most bitterly contested part as long as the BCS remains standing.
