Media Days: LSU



LSU
The coach is Les Miles.

  • He has arrived.

  • "Some things, we need to fix and put in the right perspective. We're working toward making real quality adjustments on our team."

  • "We're a better offense. We're stronger; we can run the ball better."

  • "I think we'll be a team that has a very talented, young group of me in there with some veterans that comes together quickly and plays one of the most ambitious schedules." (They're playing North Carolina and West Virginia out of conference.)

  • (Jabbering about his team. Too technical.)

  • On if this is an Alabama-Florida league: ``I don't have anxiety about that. My want is to prepare my team."

  • He likes his 2011 recruiting class. Shocking.

  • On Ken Adams, the former Auburn signee from Enterprise: ``He showed a toughness and an athleticism. He runs very fast, long arms. He's a very, very good defensive end. We expect him to play virtually every game if not start in most."

  • On not messing up games from the sideline: ``I scrutinize the coaching, me and others. In some of those situations, I was prepared for them but ... not the time constraints."

  • They're going to spend far more practice time this season perfecting their two-minute offense and clock-management stuff. "It's not just lip service; we really have changed."

  • On the oil spill: ``I hope the cap stays on. The people of Louisiana -- they handle it by being strong, standing tall, working hard. This is just another example of that. I hope that our government, and the powers that be, give us the power to affect the people. Just to help the people. If they do that, I think they'll be fine."

  • Great question: "Comment on the Western Division, the SEC, from Alabama all the way on down to the Mississippi schools."

  • Thanks, guys. See ya."

  • That's a wrap.

  3. Doesn't Les have a daughter from South Carolina who attends App State?

  4. THT, I was typing a novel about beer. You had plenty of time to get there! At least I got scottie b's "Kennesaw" post taken care of.

    ReplyDelete
  5. i was stuck with a customer who just doesn't seem to understand BEASLEY!!!

  6. Harrison, I appreciate the no-spit beer offer. I should make it to a few games this year, so hopefully can take you up on it.

  7. Les isn't all that aware of time. This might take awhile

    ReplyDelete
  8. Question for Les: You are predicted to finish fourth in the west, behind 3 coaches that have been at their school a shorter period than you have been at LSU. How do you feel about that?

  9. Na-na na-na, na-na, na-na HATMAN!
    Na-na na-na, na-na, na-na HATMAN!

  10. Just told it'll be five more minutes or so.

    ReplyDelete
  11. What are the odds that Les will simply spike the ball and let the time run out?

    ReplyDelete
  12. nice work SC. thanks for the #89 luv.

    ReplyDelete
  13. How 'bout now? Is he there now? Huh?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Not quite yet, peeps.

    My copy is in and I'm ready to roll ... as soon as we can get this show on the road.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Maybe this is what Les has been doing:

  16. drive safely, JGT!

    thanks for moving LSU below AU in the blog standings when you're done. That's where they belong.

  17. Since Chizik doesn't measure success by W's and L's, I think I'm going to do that in my life as well.

    Instead of measuring success with how happy I am in life, salary and stuff like that. I'm going to measure it by other things like facial hair and body funk. I will give up shaving and bathing and become a success by those standards.

  18. Jay, there was a lotta love for Vandy coach in the paper this am :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. he is not wearing his tinfoil hat. disappointment in my heart.

    ReplyDelete
  20. i heard the Vandy coach on (GASP!) Finebaum yesterday. PF was a jerk to him & then bashed him about how he was a clueless redneck for 10 minutes after the interview.

    not sure what to think about the guy. he wasn't overly impressive on the radio....to me anyways.

    ReplyDelete
  21. "We're working toward making real quality adjustments on our team."

    Which way are they adjusting the quality?

    ReplyDelete
  22. he is a clueless redneck for appearing on finebaum.
    unless his appearance was only the sound of him punching finebaum in the face and paul hitting the floor, he didn't need to experience the worst 5 minutes of his life.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Scottie,

    Surely Finebaum wouldn't rip on someone right after they leave?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Finebaum bashing clueless rednecks? Well, then 99% of his audience should be insulted, except that they're clueless, so they wouldn't know anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  25. wow, is it just me, or does he sound even duller than the Chiz so far?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oil spill question! Oil spill question! Oil spill question!

    ReplyDelete
  27. In re Finebaum ...

    Wouldn't be surprised if he starts pimping for a candidate for that job ... say, one that has the same agent as he does.

    Not that Finebaum is a worthless ho or anything.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Nnnooo...

    That should be read as sarcasm directly replying to JET, not to be read as excitement/terror.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Also in re FB, I heard the after-bashing but didn't hear the interview. Paul sounded downright elitist. Since he's from Tenn, maybe he has a low redneck tolerance. Or maybe he's just annoying.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Maybe? There's no maybe about it. PFinebaum is the most annoying individual on the airwaves.

    ReplyDelete
  31. jabbering about real quality as opposed to fake quality...

    ReplyDelete
  32. Who is from Pewaukee, Wisc?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Agreed, Norm. Here in Bammerham, we even have to deal with his occasional tv appearances on local news sports segments. I almost threw a brick at my tv a couple of nights ago.

    ReplyDelete
  34. mentions former AU signee ken adams as 6-5 250. AU backed off last year. went with lemonier instead of juco adams. would still be nice to have him.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I listen to the 740 guys out of the Gump simply for something familiar and a taste of home. I often find the show entertaining while not necessarily informative. Thankfully, I have an iPod chock-full of my favorite tunes that I can listen to rather than bear with PFinebaum. Either that, or I schedule con-calls.

    ReplyDelete
  36. lsu has off week (i.e. mcneese st.) the week before AU. chiz better complain to sec.

    ReplyDelete
  37. ask him if he can locate baton rouge on a map.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Please stand and sing:

    If I could save time in a bottle...

    Or

    Time after time
    You'll hear me say that I'm
    So lucky....

  39. "young group of me in there with some veterans"

    Man,is Les cocky or what?

    ReplyDelete
  40. I did what I could, peeps.

    ReplyDelete
  41. JG, do you get Rev. Nutt next? I just watched him on the SEC feed. I think he was disappointed that nobody asked him to do any snake handling.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Miles is the final guy.

    I skipped Nutt and Dooley.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Gotcha. Thanks for your work today!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Nutt can be entertaining. Photos of him could be used in a danger of caffeine campaign.

    ReplyDelete
  45. can't say as I blame you, JGT. AU substance was far more important.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Jerrell Powe just got asked if he voted for the "Landshark" for mascot. I wish they had asked him about Admiral Ackbar.

    ReplyDelete
  47. JGT you should have stayed for Dooley. UT finally got a class act.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I don't know that I could stand to set through all of media days. It is a lot of talk for very little substance.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Oooh, I'll bet that "all the way down to the Mississippi schools" comment rubbed some people the wrong way!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I think Pewaukee, WI may be me War Eagle Girl

    ReplyDelete
  51. Is the blog messed up? How did Zee get back on the top feed? Does that mean I have to go back to commenting on Lee? Why is tommyd from pewaukee? Too many questions and not enough answers.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Jay moved the Ziemba post to the top of the page, so I think we are supposed to be commenting there. Or maybe I am confused.

    ReplyDelete
  53. do a little work and come back to find y'all have abandoned Les and returned to Lee.


    Good choice.

    ReplyDelete
  54. He moved it so we wouldn't have to have LSU above our Tigers!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Michael, when are you going to return to the other thread?

    ReplyDelete
  56. Yes, I just did! how could you doubt?

    ReplyDelete
  57. Doubt? I had no doubt. I just wanted to put it on my calendar.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Is it a stardate calendary?

    ReplyDelete
  59. JAGR!

    No, it's a Googley calendar.
