We, like LSU and UGA, are bowling in LA

      It looks like the Independence Bowl for the Tide this year. I’d post a mapquest link, but you know the way. I have to say that given the season we’ve had I’m nipply about this. I don’t even care who we are playing (Colorado for those that do care.) What arouses me is that we made a bowl and get the extra practice time. That may be the saddest fan statement I’ve ever made. It should be noted that in addition to the Tide I pull for the Redskins, the Orioles, and Ajax. That may still be the saddest fan statement I’ve ever made.

Les Miles is the solution to/cause of all problems

       This is just me being an asshole having fun with current wisdom. Follow me for a sec. Les Miles is playing for the MNC. There is a) no way Miles leaves the laurels behind and heads for Michigan or b) no way Michigan waits until January to name a new head coach. Miles can’t give up a kingdom of his own making and Michigan can’t loose a month of recruiting right? Enter Saban. Last year Saban, riding on a national championship from 2004, put together a top ten recruiting class in a single month. Imagine what Miles as a newly named coach could do in January having won a MNC just days ago. The LSU vacancy/Saban’s wandering eye rumors could be right back. But why would he want to leave all this?
