From a Michigan grad who I don't think would make it up:





Is anybody on the board familiar with what actually transpired with the Carr/Herbie/Miles thing?

Does anyone recall how Carr felt about Miles, what Miles had been saying about Carr and how hard Miles had lobbied for the job? Does anyone recall how it was a member of Carr's camp who leaked to Herbie and told him to run with the breaking news that Miles was a done deal ....?

And that by putting Miles in such a situation you were forcing him out of the running??

Anyone ... anyone??

it's the kind of stuff that makes me question my continuing being an lsu fan. i adopted them when i moved here. i'm a lifelong penn state fan, but wanted to root for a team closer to home. any idea of that being arkansas was out of the question, as i've never liked them. but this witchhunt mentality, the must win all games or the coach gets the axe type stuff is ridiculous. the most important key to a good program is continuity. les miles has done some outstanding things since being here, but the attitude towards someone with a great record at a school, including a title, has me wondering what the hell people really expect. if he leaves i won't blame him, as he certainly hasn't been appreciated by many 'fans' who are more fanatic than fan. i'll wish him well when he does go. i also know that last night is the last game i ever go to see live, with arkansas fans throwing things at me and my husband, yelling that lsu fans love hitler, and that les miles is a pedophile. these freaks can have it; i'll stick to hockey.

You should go back to being a State Penn fan. When you beat Alabama and you still have two losses then that is a bad season in SEC land.

I am utterly devastated over the loss to South Carolina, LSU and Auburn. It is completely unacceptable.

wouldn't it anger you if people started bashing saban over this season? that's what i don't understand, and i don't agree with it. i don't get why people are unhappy with miles at all. i think the expectations are just too high for these sec teams. some of the fans are really putting me off the sport.
and i'll always root for penn state. maybe that's one of my frustrations-psu is a storied team for many reasons-and look how many coaches they've run thru.
i'm disappointed we lost yesterday, i was disappointed we lost to auburn. i thought we should have won that game. but i'm not going to lose my head over it, or holler that the coach needs to go. that's ridiculous.

I think the focus should be on McElwain. He should thank his lucky stars the defense hid some of the flaws on offense last year. He was exposed as an average OC this year.

I'm hoping he gets a head coaching gig but any sane person wouldn't offer him a dime.

Also when you get the recruiting classes like LSU and Alabama do the expectations are automatically national championship contention and at worst a BCS bowl.

Striving for excellence is a good thing, Zig. You can go back to being a hardcore Penn State fan but they're losers. In fact I think some of their fans are turned on by old men who don't know when to quit.
