This is great news for fans of no-tackling motherfuckers everywhere.
Miles to stay at LSU
This is great news for fans of high comedy, inexplicable football strategy, vegetarianism, and amusing T-shirts.
Meanwhile it's kind of a push for fans of knocking the LSU contingent. All week the knives have been out among the anti-LSU crowd and especially in the national media as preparations were underway to heap another round of shame upon the supposed ingratitude of Tiger fans. Indeed how dare these ungracious rubes expect the man in charge of the country's most fertile recruiting situation and one of its best supported programs playing in college football's premiere league to... know what he's doing more than half the time.
The problem here isn't that LSU fans don't appreciate what they have in Miles, it's that the national sports media does not now and never will appreciate that football is just all around better in the south and far better in Louisiana than they'll ever understand or admit. One would think that anyone who has spent the past five years in New Orleans tracking the various misapprehensions and prejudices harbored against this "part of the world" as President Bush so revealing termed it once would understand what's going on here. But, as always, the self-styled intelligentsia selectively ignores this sort of thing when it suits their own agenda.
Anyway, LSU fans will at least have Miles to kick around for a while... while the rest of the world kicks them.
