Football . . .

Football season is upon us and all kinds of rumors and predictions going. The popular one is that this Les Miles last season at LSU. Give me a break. He is the best coach we have had so far. His record is better than Saban's was at LSU.

Did he have a bad year, you bet he did and still won 9 games. Show me a coach who has made it through the last couple of seasons as well as he has with the set backs he has had. He had to let go a top notch quarterback that lacked personal discipline. He had to use an inexperienced quarter back and made his way through all the damage to the end of the season. Now he has a fairly good quarter back, one at least seasoned and ready to go.

The Tigers are picked to finish fourth in its division, yet the polls rank LSU well above all those opponents it is going to lose to. Something does not compute.

Do I think he should have fired his offensive coach, yes. Gary Crowton has been a head coach at Louisiana Tech and BYU and is now an offensive coach at LSU. He needs to be fired. He is terrible. He stinks.

On the other hand, the defensive coach is truly superior. So there is hope that the talent will not be wasted in that venue.

Just heard that LSU is one of the top five universities that produce income from sports. LSU is ranked #5, but it is one of the five that produces over a $100,000,000.00 per year. That is over a hundred million dollars a year. Football is the majority but baseball is in there along with basketball. It is a premier jock school.

What a school. What a staff. Geaux Tigers!
