This stunt might make Michigan more attractive to Les Miles

We're all well aware that Les Miles is the most likely candidate to fill the Michigan opening. And naturally LSU, and most of Louisiana, is worried about losing him. But this may be a bit much. The school is planning a march today called "March for Miles" and I'll let you read the details here, since the photographer of the invitation is a bit touchy about legal issues, even though it's all over the Web. Normally you march for racial equality or world peace - not football coaches - but what do I know. I'm a normal human being. Naturally something this unimportant is already in the news down there, and the message boards and Facebook are going off about how big the march will be. Here are some of the comments circulating across the Web. And mind you, these are LSU fans, so these comments were probably written with no sarcasm intended whatsoever.

• It'd be bigger than the Jena 6 march. It'd be as big as the March on Washington in 1963.

• This is historic stuff. This is something the priveleged few, as in those who show up, will be happy to tell their kids about. They will relish the fact they were a part of it

• I guarantee you I can get at least 100 coonasses to attend. Now, it's 100 coonasses going to Baton Rouge, so, somewhere around Paradis we're going to start losing some to DWI's...but we should end up with at least 40-50 in Baton Rouge.

• I'll be there with a boombox blaring "I am the Real American"
  

• I could see a movie being made in the future.

• What coach WOULDN'T want to come here knowing the love and support we offer our coaches. Knowing that we stand behind our coach. If I were looking for a job, hell I'd take a pay cut to work for a company with those benefits. A company who's customers genuinely love and support the employees of the company they patronize? Give me some of THAT! You can't even get that kind of stuff in the military anymore, with liberals run amok.

• Has anyone had a Les Miles look-a-like contest where people dress up as him and act like him similar to people dressing up like Woody Hayes and Bear Bryant?
  
  
• We could start a "pass the hat for Les fund" at this march


• I am going to wear my cheerleading outfit
  
  

• ---

  I will only march if Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are there.

  ---

  I would throw them under a bus...
  
  
• THIS IS NOT BEGGING HIM TO STAY. If he has to go, we understand, but if he goes he will have this to take with him.


• Very few people are born wanting to be LSU's coach; most of them have to learn how awesome it is. This is another part of the learning process. We show him the love, and he WANTS to be at LSU. See?

Les, for God's sake, take the Michigan job.

Backup linebackers are expendable, backup QBs less so

Some of you are probably already familiar with the commotion that happened down at LSU this past Friday. Since the Tigers had the week off, that meant Friday night was all right to go out and party.

Anyway, to cut to the chase, three LSU football players, Derrick Odom, Jeremy Benton and Ryan Perrilloux were all involved in a brawl at the Varsity nightclub.

Odom is also accused of smashing a car window. And Perrilloux, well there's a real a question about what else he did. From the official police report:

Much later, on the night of the 26th, nearly 24 hours after the original fight, an employee of The Varsity reported for the first time, to an off-duty officer, that he was leaving the Varsity when the original fight was going on, when a man he believed to be Ryan Perrilloux ran up and pointed a gun at him and his girlfriend.

The employee, however, couldn't identify Perrilloux in a photo line up. Perrilloux also supposedly passed a lie-detector test in which he said he never had a gun.

Regardless of the gun issue, reports say Odom and Perrilloux were the primary people keeping the fight going. Both have some past scrapes with the law to say the least.

Perrilloux was cited by Baton Rouge police last spring for attempting to enter a downtown gambling casino with false identification that said he was 21. He was also questioned by federal authorities late last year for his tertiary role in a counterfeiting ring in his hometown of LaPlace.

Odom was arrested twice in recent months on misdemeanor charges — one for damaging an automobile of a woman and the other for damaging an automobile and threatening the owner and his father.

Yesterday Odom was charged with a misdemeanor for smashing a car window after the brawl. He was soon kicked off the team by Les Miles. Benton was also kicked off the team.

Perrilloux, however, will remain on the team but Miles says he will not play Saturday when LSU faces Alabama.

Odom getting kicked off the team is understandable. He's been charged with yet another misdemeanor. It also helps that he's a redshirt freshman linebacker who's seen no action this year.

But Benton is harder to understand. He hasn't been charged with anything, just like Perrilloux. Yet now he's been kicked off of the team.

So what's the difference between Benton and Perrilloux? Benton's a backup junior linebacker who's only seen action in 4 games this year. Perrilloux's going to be the starting QB next year.

I know this isn't surprising, but it sure speaks volumes. It continues to hammer home the point that if you're an important component of a team (and play a real critical position), you can get away with quite a lot. If you're not that important and do basically the same stuff, well, expect to get the door.

It also says that a lot of football teams - and coaches - put winning above everything else, including character and academics. I'm looking at you, Les Miles.

But in the end, this seems to be the norm rather than the exception. Which when you truly stop and think about it, is rather depressing.

The LSU student section is kind to opposing teams

I'm shocked, I repeat, shocked, to hear that LSU's student section has been accused of directing intensely vulgar language at opponents. You mean saying stuff like "Teabag Tebow" repeatedly is bad? I guess it is, because the football team got the combination of Glenn Dorsey and Jacob Hester to try and quell the rising storm of vulgarity at home games. Here was the letter both stars wrote that appeared in today's Daily Reveille, the LSU student newspaper.

An open letter to the LSU student section in Tiger Stadium.

The LSU student section is the heartbeat of Death Valley and the center of emotion for our great stadium.

But during the last two games, vulgar language directed at our opponents by the student section has been dissapointing and embarassing to our school.

Your chants can be heard by the national television audience that tunes in from all over America. When those chants include offensive language, it only damages Louisiana State University. More importantly, these chants can be heard by young children in the stadium who come to see their Tigers play.

We need to support our team. You are important to our success. But that doesn't mean you need to insult our opponents. Let us, the players, take care of our opponents through competition on the field.

We are taught by our coaches to act like champions, play like champions and win like champions. We need you to do the same.

We hope you are with us.

Geaux Tigers!

Glenn Dorsey Jacob Hester

I'm surprised too. Dorsey and Hester can write? But quite frankly, what damage can possibly be done to LSU? It's not like I ever thought you were a real university to begin with anyway.

Les Miles should expect a cap in his ass any day now

Dammit: It appears the Snoop MP3 is an incredible fake. Although a fair number of people are still unsure. We're pretty confident it's fake. We salute Gump4Heisman for the work it took to get what is an incredible impersonation of Snoop.

Some of you may be familiar with Les Miles having recently gone on a bit of a tear about the lack of competition USC faces every year in the Pac-10.

"I would like nothing better than to play USC for the [national] title. I can tell you this, that they have a much easier road to travel. They're going to play real knockdown drag-outs with UCLA and Washington, Cal-Berkeley, Stanford -- some real juggernauts -- and they're going to end up, it would be my guess, in some position so if they win a game or two, that they'll end up in the title [game]."

Well, it seems Gump4Heisman did quite the impersonation of Snoop and called out Les Miles.

Here are some of what we presume are a fake Snoop's comments:

"Who the f*ck is Les Miles?"

"The SEC, we done played Arkansas last year Les, tore they ass up by 40 Les, they won your division last year, Les, bitch-ass motherfucker."

"Man, we're USC. We get Heismans like my crew gets pussy -- whenever we want to."

The fake Snoop continued to rip Miles and then started comparing Les's infamous timeout call when the clock was already stopped to running a ho.

The fake Snoop also tells Miles that it was Saban who made LSU what it is. Ouch.

Here's the link to hear the whole thing.

Great work by Gump4Heisman. Incredible imitation, if it is an imitation.
