Miles signed a contract extention with LSU. Can’t knock a guy for doing what he said he would do.

Denny,

You need to thank Mr. Erik Ainge for giving you not only the SEC championship, but also a trip to the National Championship. Its a shame to see Tennessee’s defense dominate LSU into Ainge decides to “throw” it all away. I just hope the SEC dominates it Big 10 again.

Imagine these pairings playoff pairings for a fantasy NCAA football championship.

First round byes: 1. OSU 2. LSU 3. Virginia Tech 4. Oklahoma

First round matchups: 5. Georgia vs 12. Florida, 6. Mizzou vs 11. ASU, 7. USC vs 10. Hawaii, 8. Kansas vs 9. West Virginia

That’s what we should be watching these next few weeks.

This has been the most bizarre season I have ever seen. How many upsets can there be in one season? Geez! I still can’t believe both WVA and Mizzou lost. As the CBS guys said, this is one “wild and wacky” season.

We need a playoff system.

That said, LSU should have beaten Tenn by at least 14. In the first half alone, they got inside the 15 and did not make it. And why can’t David make 3 from 30 yards at the end of the 1st half? How many points can we keep giving up? Also, being the most-penalized team in the SEC does not help.

PS – For any Ohio St. fans, it looks like the title game may well be a repeat of last year (they get killed by an SEC team!).

Well, well. What a crazy night.

I don’t think I can make a bullet-proof case for LSU or OSU in the big game, but I can’t make many great cases against them. It’s possible that Georgia, OU, and USC are all better teams, though all have less respectable losses. Probably LSU and OSU are the best teams for a championship, should the system choose them, but I still think that OU and the amazing Sam Bradford would likely prevail in a playoff.

And has anyone recently mentioned our need for a legitimate championship system? Oh, that was everyone speaking.

And Miles is staying a Tiger? I like that a lot, though I have a hard time believing it. Not that I don’t believe Miles, he’s a direct man. I just remember what Tricky Nick said in the recent past. By the way, I hear that Nick Saban is definitely not interested in the Michigan job.

And cap the day off with Harvard basketball winning against Michigan and my alma mater defeating Texas Tech (and apparently sending Bobby Knight sick into the locker room), and we’ve got one more crazy weekend.

Good thing the season is over soon. Any more of this and I might have to take up alcoholism as a stress-reliever.

I have never read a post on this blog that I agree more with. All I can say is Amen and amen.

Denny, Congrats…… LSU looked like the team they were said to be.. They showed great pride playing with so many key guys banged up. The D this week played a great game and they[Penelli} learned to send some people this week.. As I said before Not a big LSU fan, but I hope they get in the big game. The season they had, the teams they play, they should get the shot. As a Michigan fan I take my hat off to Coach Miles for having this team ready to play. Sorry he won’t be at MU but they did not play it right.That ESPN story is a typical media sham.. Not fair to do to the school, the team and the coach. Hester is a true football hero.. Throwback type making plays on punts and all.
