It has been a struggle for me to pick a side in the BCS Championship game. As a Michigan fan, do I root for Les Miles and LSU to beat the Buckeyes? You know, to put Sweatervest's championship game record at 1-2? Or do I root for The Senator and boys to try to put the SEC in their place? This is quite easy.
As you know, the University of Michigan is looking for a head football coach. What a scene it is when LSU, coached by a Michigan alum, is playing Ohio State for all the marbles. Get this, there are actually media members, and of course, paranoid LSU fans, who think Michigan is trying to harm LSU's chances of beating Ohio State. Were these people born yesterday? So you're telling me, Michigan is going to HELP Ohio State win a national championship, just so the Buckeyes have something else to hold over Michigan's heads?
Les Miles is a classic Butterface case. You know, Butterface. You see this girl walking towards you. Oh, things look promising. Wow, she is smoking hot. What a body! As she gets closer, your heart begins to race. You try to keep your composure. And then, it happens. That drop dead gorgeous girl turns out to be a butterface. Her face is just hideous. She had everything! BUT-HER-FACE!
Looks can be decieving boys. With all this desire over Les, you would think the guy would be a coaching legend. But, last time I checked, there are no statues of Les Miles being built. Les Miles isn't on my wish list for the next Michigan coach. LSU, please keep him! The guy was outcoached by Rich Brooks and Houston Nutt this year, so how bad is Jim Tressell going to embarrass Miles?
To top this whole saga off, let me introduce you to Skip Bertman. He is LSU's athletic director. Oh, sorry. Since Skip is in the all to mighty SEC, we shall give Skip proper respect. Is it Skippy? Mr. Skip? Skip to my Lou? Hop Skip and a jump? I'll just call him ####, something we can all agree on.
#### gave Michigan athletic director Bill Martin permission to speak to Les Miles, but asked Martin to wait until after the SEC Championship game. Martin, being a classy Big Ten gentleman, obliged. Then news yesterday spread that, GASP, Miles had spoken to Michigan. Traitor! How could he? He promised! Oh, that Bill Martin! Les is staying Bill, leave him alone! Leave Les Alone! Tears, many tears.
So #### issues a press release and in it he says that LSU is a better job than the Michigan job. Debatable, but what do you expect him to say? The guy is trying to keep the coaching legend ( snicker ) that is Les Miles from heading back to his alma mater. I mean LSU is full of tradition, national championships, the works. What's that? I know, don't tell the people that believe this that more people have said the Michigan job is better. Even with Michigan hardly doing anything the last 10 years, and LSU having the chance to win a second BCS championship game, most people IN THE KNOW ( and that's not you or me) say Michigan would be a better job than LSU. But LSU's in the SEC, which makes them automatically better. Case closed.
So, I hope Miles stays at LSU. I hope he makes more head scratching gameday decisions. I actually hope he makes a coaching blunder in the BCS title game. Then all these whiners who want Michigan to leave Les alone will have their way.
They will be crying for losing to a Big ten team in the title game. They will blame Michigan and Miles. But hey, you saw what you were getting when you wanted to keep Les. You're now stuck with the butterface. That is something to cry about.
Born and raised in the great state of MEE-CHI-GAN. Had a one year stint in Indianapolis where I grew to love all things Hoosier and watched the Colts bring home a Super Bowl trophy. My primary teams remain the Tigers, Pistons, Lions, Red Wings, and Wolverines and I wouldn't trade any of them. Still follow NASCAR, but it's not the same without the black number 3. My favorite sport by far is college basketball. I'll watch pretty much any game between November-Febr uary and March is the pinnacle of it all with the MADNESS. It can't be beat.
