A TREASURY OF TEMPORARILY ACCURATE THINGS WRITTEN ABOUT LES MILES

No one in college football is more profligate with the goodwill of his fanbase, or so immune to their anger, as Les Miles. It is his chief political talent to be nothing less than the flubbery, rubbery, and completely inadhesive substance LSU fans can neither remain mad at nor completely happy with for too long at any one stretch. Heap him with praise, and it falls off in seconds. Condemn him, and he springs back with an unnatural bounce.

You might think this is a new phenomenon, but as we hope to show at every level, from message board to paid columnist, it is anything but a recent trend. The Mad Hatter has always dodged your expectations, zigged when you zagged, and coned before anyone knew what coning was.

A golden collection from the dark depths of the increasingly aged sports internet. We begin with 2005's golden judgments, preserved in amber from the most amazing message board commenters ever.

Man, I sure hope Les Miles is stupid enough to hire Pelini at LSU.

--immortal message boarder "Patrick."

He was! And it cost him his job, wife, and the very home he watched burn to the ground while Carl Pelini peed on it. PELINI!!! [Les Miles shakes fist at heavens, vows revenge]

Star-divide

We move further forward through the Miles Archive to 2007, where despite a gathering read on the man we rediscover our communal ignorance of the man's mysteries, myth, and building legend. This came on the heels of Les dropping a profanity re: Alabama at an LSU function, one we will not print here but describe as rhyming with "fucking." (P.S. It's "fucking.")

The crowd, which included women and children, roared its approval. Why would Miles get involved with such childish behavior?

--Ben Cook, Lindy's

He was sitting right there in plain sight, and we as an internet people still didn't even know what he was. Then 2007 happened, and the mutual bafflement of that season still hasn't subsided in full. The Mad Hatter phase lasted from roughly 2007 to 2009, the year when Miles, flush with success, determined that he could control the clock. Thus beings the Les Miles, Time Lord Phase.

This is a dark and confusing phase for all, including highly-paid national columnists attempting to reconcile the ballsy brilliance of 2007 with what they were seeing in 2009.

1. Is Les Miles is on the hot seat? There are a lot of upset LSU fans this morning and deservedly so. After doing this for a lot of years, I’m sure I’ve seen a worse example of mismanaging of the clock than LSU had at the end of the Ole Miss game in Oxford. But for the life of me, I can’t think of one.

--Tony Barnhart, AJC.com

Another glowing salute to Miles' coaching acumen from the mainstream media.

LSU, to put it bluntly, is a national laughingstock this morning. If you have ever seen the final minute of a game mismanaged as badly as that one, raise your hand.
---Orlando Sentinel

Fast forward to January 3rd, 2012. Based on a completely random read of what was written about Miles after this, we now assume 2012 Les Miles is smarting from a Music City Bowl loss and a serious fall down stairs when "he thought they were an escalator just taking a breather." Worried for his job, fearing for his livelihood, Miles pleads with his superiors for patience and---

Yet as bad as it looked then, check out now: That’s Saban, the coach who has reenergized the Alabama program, chasing Miles two seasons after winning the national championship. And for the first time since Miles arrived in Baton Rouge in 2005 to replace Saban (who had left for the Miami Dolphins), Miles has a chance to erase the memories of Saban’s championship season on the Bayou.

--Matt Hayes, Sporting News.

Miles and LSU then put on one of the worst offensive performances in a football lifetime, something the starting quarterback for that doomed team still seems not to fully understand. That may be the point here. You want it to be easy with Les Miles, because "easy" would mean "not perpetually wondering what fresh hell and/or genius is around the corner."

That would be nice. It would also be completely inaccurate, because he is Les Miles, and is at this moment eating his GPS device both because it it delicious and he doesn't want to stop for snacks, but also because getting a bead on him is the last thing he wants you to do.

Still blows my mind that, for all the deeply-studied insanities of 2007-2010 in the Milesverse,

we didn’t learn about the grass thing until 2011. How is that possible? Has anyone gone back over old tape to see if it was there, or some time in fall 2011 did Miles just figure out the best possible way to fuck with Nick Saban?

IMHO

I just figured it out, he’s college football’s version of George Costanza. Think about it, everytime you think he’s going to shit the bed, he pulls victory out of his ass. And then when presented with a golden opportunity he somehow manages to screw it all up. Either that or he’s the sane one and we’re all crazy….like an episode of the Twilight zone. Man trying to analyze Les is painful, just gave myself a headache.

Well, there are a couple of reasons...

Pedagogically, you want students to learn from multiple teachers, so mixing them up takes care of that. Also, there’s a desire to balance the “more preferable” classes for teachers. Finally, it often has to do with scheduling- when you have to balance what classes are taught by English, History, Math, Science, Foreign Language, etc., it usually turns out that they need to mix the periods such that the highest level classes in various disciplines are separated.

Which means they have at least some training in teaching the other end of the spectrum as well.

Anal retentive detail man!

Mardi Gras lasts one day. The carnival season (commonly called Mardi Gras) starts on the 12th night after Christmas (Feast of the Epiphany) and goes up to Mardi Gras Day, which is always the day before Ash Wednesday which is 40 days before Easter which is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox.

Mardi Gras Day literally means “Fat Tuesday”, because it was the day you ate everything before you sacrificed for Lent. Ash Wednesday is the next day, which is 40 days(not counting Sundays, as they are already holy) before Easter. Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox

Holly mentioned Western Kentucky as a better Big East fit in her article

I hadn’t thought about that but it actually makes some sense. I know Louisville would lose it over the mere suggestion. But, WKU has some decent history in basketball, and their football team has been gaining some legit steam (especially by comparison to Memphis).

Why didn’t anyone try that?

Played three games, fell behind in all three, and came back to tie each one. In the last game, I lost my goalie to a red card early (LOLWAT) yet still came back to tie the game and win in penalties (not that they count, but after three games there had to be some kind of resolution).

Some MLS team this year had a messy situation

Starting goalie got injured during the game. Backup got a red card. (May have been the other way around, I don’t remember.) They had to put an outfield player in net for 2/3 of the game. (I think he actually came up with a couple of decent saves.)

Or if you've already used all three subs.

Just remembered a crazy, crazy game from Euro 2008 where that happened. (Turkey came back from down 2-0 against the Czechs in the final 15 minutes, then got their goalie sent off and they’d already used all their subs, so one of their midfielders went in net for stoppage time. They hung on to win and advance out of the group stage.)

but I would live in Jersey ten times before LI. The cities across from NYC are getting nicer too, but there’s an area in the area near Newark/Harrison/Kearny and some of the Oranges that is also not the best.

Also, Camden is pretty much East Philly and bad and parts of Trenton, but Jersey is nice place with some bad pockets and worse press
