Sure, Les Miles nearly broke down in tears last week saying he loves LSU and that he’d never do anything to hurt his team
Well, his team hurt him by playing uninspired for 3 quarters and then falling to unranked Arkansas in triple overtime….crushing any chance of playing for a national championship.
I felt like Miles would [...]
BCS National Championship
Why: Mizzou will beat Oklahoma in the Big XII Championship game next weekend. West Virginia will be #1 or #2 in the BCS poll when it’s released tomorrow. West Virginia wins it all. No one can stop this offense. They’re getting hot at the right time.—————————————————————————-

I gave up on the Heisman Trophy 10 years ago.
Remember the Heisman race of ‘97?
Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning, Washington State quarterback Ryan Leaf and Michigan cornerback/return specialist Charles Woodson.
Manning and Leaf were of course ridiculously deserving for the award given to the top college player in America.

Here’s how good Chris Paul is: He’s so ridiculously good the Hornets would be a dark-horse title contender if they had their Oklahoma City home crowds (sold out and crazed) and not their New [...]
As far as I’m concerned….the logo you see above is arguably the best in all of sports!

The team unveiled it earlier this year upon their full time return to New Orleans.
For all of you who don’t know the Fleur de lis is a symbol of New Orleans.
Fleur [...]
I’ve never been big on second chances.
I feel like people truly know the difference between right and wrong and if you do something wrong to hurt someone or yourself then you deserve whatever punishment or misfortune comes your way.
That may sound mean but I think if more people accepted that philosophy then society would [...]
When I think of struggling Saints cornerback Jason David I think of one person….
Former Saints Safety Tebucky Jones.
Jones struggled from day 1 in New Orleans and will be remembered as one of the biggest busts to ever wear the black & gold.
Jones was never the player former head coach Jim Haslett thought he was.
But Haz [...]
It’s college football Nick….lighten up!
Try not to reference such catastrophic moments.
I’m not even a die hard LSU fan and I hope Auburn smokes your team this weekend and 6-6 keeps your school outta a bowl game!
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) – Alabama fans aren’t the only onestreating the Louisiana-Monroe loss as a monumental event.Coach Nick Saban described [...]
Les Miles To Michigan?
This is the burning question that will be asked ad-nauseam until the University Of Michigan names a new head football coach.
Here are a couple of excerpts from various newspapers:
Detriot Free Press:
“it would be hard to fathom Miles not taking the job.It doesn’t matter that Miles is at the best football program [...]
Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy.
No Packer coach has had a better first 26 games than McCarthy, who, after the rout of Carolina, is 17-9 at the start of his Green Bay career. Vince Lombardi was 16-10 after 26 games.
McCarthy was the Saints offensive coordinator for 5 seasons. I always [...]
