Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Les Miles is an idiot, and in other obvious news...

I am not sure if everyone has seen this quote from the LSU head coach.

There was no question the attendees still bask in last November's victory over former LSU head coach and Tide boss Nick Saban, and Miles brought down the house when he urged the faithful "not to make too much of that game as it seems like a lot of teams in Louisiana beat that team," referencing Alabama's shocking subsequent loss to Louisiana-Monroe.

I have two points that really irritate me about this sort of comment.  One, it is designed to appease the lowest common denominator of fan base.  I think it is classless, but then again I guess you would have to have class to lose it in the first place.  Also, this comes his f-ck bama comment from last year, and his weird inability to refer to Alabama by an anything else than a distant third person reference (that team). 

You would just think that someone who had just won a MNC and an SEC title would be able to let that speak for him.  I just personally believe he is an idiot, and I look forward to watching him lose.  HAVE A GREAT DAY!

As an aside, I know we all probably like Auburn losing more, but who would you rather see the agony of losing on their face; Tubberville, Miles, or Fulmer?

It may be no time soon, but one day that mouth will dig him a grave.

Ehh.. You’re being too sensitive. He took a jab at a rival school. Big deal.

Go defend that jerk...

...on an LSU board. I never had any real animosity toward LSU until this asshat started shooting off his mouth. Mark my words, he’s going down big and very soon.

Actually...

...I’m with Richard on this one, what are we getting upset over? A rival coach talking smack about us to a bunch of boosters? Big deal. Don’t get all offended, just remember it for when we beat them on the field and then savor it’s extra sweetness.

"Be" with Richard...

...if you want, but I don’t go to LSU boards trolling around for comments about Bama or Saban to comment on. What a fitting name to a board – tigerdroppings – ie “full of shit”. I’m not “upset”. I’m stating the obvious when I call Miles a jerk and an asshat. How ridiculous that he does not even have the balls to say “ALABAMA” because that would really sound paranoid and obsessed with us. Like nobody realizes “THAT TEAM”(wink wink) is us. The man is a candidate for Bryce. Oh, for the trolls, that’s a mental hospital.

Richard

I do not think Richard is trolling. He runs a great site (And the Valley Shook), and does a good job of being objective. I would expect him to defend his coach, and really have no problem with what he is writing.

I just do not read of any other coach saying what Miles says. He comes across as a baffoon. The comments he makes just sound like something from a high school pep rally, instead of from a major D1 head coach.

The thing is...

...it does not make me feel better to defend Coach Saban on rival sites. Am I going to change their opinion? NO. Besides, I can admit Coach Saban is not perfect and I don’t necessarily agree with everything he says and does. For instance, even though I understand what he meant by the 9/11 comments, I don’t think it was appropriate. I certainly think the coming to Alabama was handled badly and I thought he was a jerk at the time. Sometimes you just have to admit your coach was wrong. What I like about Saban, of course, clearly outweighs the bad. The “Under The Lights” show really gives you a good insight into the man and coach. It’s more than clear with his success in recruiting too.

I agree...

he has enough confidence in himself and his team that he doesn’t have to talk smack to prove he’s the better coach!

VICKI WITH THE ASSHAT COMMENT!!!

I saw the title of this thread and knew it would be great! Miles is a dufus and he is appeasing his horseshit to other dufuses – i.e. LSU fan base. F*ck all of em. I still think it is hilarious that all these teams are taken such pride in beating us (barely) WHILE WE ARE SHORT TALENT WISE AND DEPTH WISE THE PAST 6 YEARS!!!!!

It’s kinda like the high school jock getting his nuts off after winning the special olympics. Or like beating UAB with USC on NCAA 09 on JV level. Or getting a degree in sociology from the barn.

Roll Tide, Bitches!!!

Vicki is RIGHT!!!

My mama always said, consider the source. And in this case the source is an overwhelming IDIOT. You guys defending THAT COACH is truly sad. What it comes down to is class, and THAT COACH has none. I watched the NC game and pulled for LSU because they are SEC and (forgive me) a southern team, but it will be very hard to ever do that again because so jerk of a coach can’t keep his big mouth shut and win with class. Tis better to not speak and be thought a fool than speak and everyone know that you are. Good job, Bamavicki, we got your back!

Don't worry bout it...

We all know that Les isn’t far improved from this, and his chance taking and mouthing off will grow tiresome sooner rather than later to his following…

Actually, we're just glad you guys are stepping up

to the big boys plate. 40 yrs of wallowing in mediocrity (and Gerri Dinardo), and you guys don’t know how to handle success. Ha. Classless coach for a classless fan base.

Hey, Jonno...

Don’t get too high on what your fearless leader recently spoke, because LSU has made a habit of getting dominated by the state of Alabama for years. Let’s not remember where we came from, buddy. Now run along…

Hey guys...

the all time series is like forty something to twenty something…There is no arguing that. Props.

All I’m trying to say is I haven’t heard this much whining in sports since Tubbs started raising fingers.

Why don’t you put Miles in his place, on the field, instead of crying foul about our class.

It’s not like Miles called Bammers coonasses or anything…wait.

I remember the 90's....

We were losing…a lot. Now we have two recent championships. Bammers, I love your comments. Keep ‘em coming. See you in BR in a few months.

The same ole same ole, eh? Shouldn’t expect TOO much from the LSU fan base.

Thinks about it

They are a perfect match. Les and the LSU fans. Let me tell you I have lived in NO,BR and Laf. even when we were wipping them regularly they were still running theirmouths like they were something special. Still do and always will. Les was that way at OK St. and will always be that way where he goes. Look at the way that coach at Ok. St. ran his mouth in front of the cameras last year. Some schools are just good fits for wack coaches like that. However that being said the best way to shut up the piehole of Les is to whip them in BR this year. Our home away from home. Hell we have a better winning percentage there than we do at home I believe. Or at least as good

Your National Championship, chief. Don’t go running your mouth so soon. I want you to think: quarterback situation, no more of Saban’s players for Les to live off of, head coach is an idiot. Just ponder these humbling thoughts…

I’m going to remember that quote. When LSU has success this year, can we officially say it’s at least in part because Les Miles is a good coach?

It remains to be seen...

...whether it’ll be because of him LSU is successful or in spite of him.

TopDaddy

Thought about it little indian. I remember how your QB performed last year against LSU down the stretch. I’ll take our QB situation over your mess any day.

And that Bryant quote? Find something present day to represent your team.

Chief

by Totally Spoil on Jul 25, 2008 9:57 AM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, I can't argue...

With how Wilson performed down the stretch last year, but I’d take an experience QB over and entire corps with 2 collective collegiate passing attempts to their credit.

And as far as the Bryant quote, let’s think outside the box for just a second. That quote applies to much more than football, and Bryant wasn’t even talking about football when he said it.

Just remember that the present becomes the past at some point, and a great past equals a great legacy and tradition.

About the quote….just trying to pull your chain. We all know Bryant was the man! Peace.

by Totally Spoil on Jul 28, 2008 8:46 AM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

why so serious?

It was a joke. relax. You guys (yes Im an lsu fan) are going to be a powerhouse again in a couple years and dont need to start attacking Miles and the LSU fan base. What Miles said was supposed to be to a private audience, you all are being much more hostile on a public forum. If he got on TV and said that, it would be a different story. Nevertheless, the classy thing to do when made fun of is not to turn around and attack the person. Let’s be consistent here. Miles’ comment may not have been the “classiest” thing to say, but neither have many of your comments. Most of them are entirely disproportionate to the “offense” given by Miles.

If miles should be secure enough not to make comments like that then some of you all need to be secure enough your blue blooded football programs to not have to respond in stooping to his level.

by nepomo on Jul 25, 2008 10:08 AM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

This can't really be considered offensive...

You have to have no sense of humor to think this comment was offensive. It was only funny because of the irony of it all. Everyone knows that a program like Bama should never have lost to ULM. So it is nothing more than a poke in the ribs about Bama having a down last year.

Regardless of the great tradition that bama has, there is nothing so sacred about bama that prohibits another coach from cracking a joke at your expense. I understand you guys are coming off of some bad years and really excited about possibly climbing back to the top, but really….don’t be such a baby about this.

Why all the sensitivity?

Crying?

Listen fellas from the LSU country, if we need parenting here at RBR, we’ll be sure to give ya’ll a looksee and ask what IS and ISN’T crying. Lemme break it down like this:

If we fine folks here at RBR wanna vent on Tide subject matter, we’ll vent. That’s not crying. If any of us were to go over to any LSU-centric sites and “vented”, than sure- that prolly would be considered “crying” in some blog circles.

So, in the future, do us all a favor. Be a rebel. Be original. Go against what provokes you and DON’T COME OVER here telling us how to act, what to write, and what to emote. Seriously, you got your 1 and a half championships. Be happy and enjoy. We ain’t on your cloud, and we sure as hell ain’t up in your business. Be a rebel. And leave us be. Bear Bryant and all.

And any name with “Texas” and “girl” in it, makes me supremely happy. Plus, you got “Tide” to boot? A woman after my heart, I know it!

Roll Tide! (and smooches for you)

by BixBeiderbecke on Jul 25, 2008 5:57 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

honestly

I think Saban said it best at media days:
“(Miles) told the truth, He called it like it was, so… you know, we need to earn it, we need to earn the respect by how we play”

As for myself, I was watching the Auburn LSU game on ESPN U, and that game alone is reason enough to think he is a moron.

Also I think that Miles’ comments about us say more about him and how much respect he has for himself and his program than it does about Alabama Football.

Cause bama's pluck and gritt has writ her name in crimson flame.

by pluckandgritt on Jul 26, 2008 12:59 AM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Exactly...

...Auburn and Florida have been much bigger concerns for LSU in the recent past than Alabama yet he takes the jabs at Alabama. It’s just silly really.
