    Pretty fuzzy definition there. I "want" LSU to win every game so I guess you could say I pull for them.

    What I don't do is live in fanasty land and blind myself to very obvious deficiencies within that program and either pretend they don't exist; or cover them up with horse shit stats from yesteryear that don't amount to a hill of beans as it relates to today.

    That is called homerism and you have it bad.

    You are talking to deaf ears. Some people will follow the purple and canary yellow brick road until they fall off the edge of the world

    Oh amigo you make this too easy. As President of the Sunshine Social Club I find it interesting that you used this particular play to illustrate your point.

    You see, beings you are all in with LEM you should know that I have taken dumps in the morning that look better than any screen pass play that LSU has run in the last 15 years. It is quite possibly the worst thing they attempt.

    I have forgotten more about fooh ball than you will ever know.

    Tell you what, money where your mouth is. Join our handicapping league and let's see who comes out on top?

    I will skip the homer/fan stuff and get to what I see as the real issue here.

    Our old buddy nicky. Look, I'm not one that you will ever see saying I want him to come back here. That is like marrying your ex wife. We all know Les is the anti-Saban or the opposite of Saban or whatever, they couldn't be more different. Yet they are both successful in their own ways. Good for both of em. I don't "hate" Les, I may have said that but I don't really hate him. I don't like him. I don't like the way he coaches, speaks, thinks, plays with his Schembeckler bobble head doll but he is here and not leaving.

    I also don't hate saban. His leaving wasn't personal and you shouldn't take it as such. I think deep down you are really angry because he did. Let it go friend.

    That said, if I'm an ad and I have to make a hire and my ONLY choices are Les Miles and Nick Saban I will hire Saban 10 out 10 times and it isn't a very difficult decision at all.

    Once you get past that things should clear up for you. ; )

    Alama mater. Sounds like a freudian slip indicating a deep seated love for Alabama and Nick Saban.

    While it's called purple and gold unless you are color blind its actually a canary yellow color on the unis. Notre Dame has a true gold on theirs.

    I like corn dogs

    well, if you run the ball 1000 times, chances are you'll gain 1000 yards.

    Is "you" anyone in particular or all of us in general?

    Depends on if you are still hung up on him leaving then yes. There shouldn't be anyone still hung up on him leaving for Miami. It was business. You can hate him, but don't over compensate by adorning the current buffoon with accolades he doesn't deserve just to cover it up.

    I rest my fucking case. Amigo, if you didn't exist, I'd have to invent you.

    That's right. That's right. He bad.

    I put my money where the profits are, rookie. And that ain't anywhere near a sports book.
