Confession: I'm A Huge Les Miles Fan

How can you not love a man who has some of the most epic quotes since Yogi Berra.  Some of his quotes are so mind-blowingly hilarious, websites & twitter accounts have been created just to honor them.  Here's some of my absolute favorites:

"When I wake up in the morning and I turn that film on, it's like reading a book and it's exciting! I don't read books, but if I did read books it would be like reading a book".

 "Just want to remind everyone it's Columbus Day.  All those of you that know Italians, & like Italians, or the people that might venture onto a ship and travel, to explore and find new lands, this is your day.  So it's not St. Paddy's Day.  That's a different day entirely".

I really can't understand most anything he tries to say but I try to never miss it when he does.  When rumors swirled that he was headed to Michigan, I straight up panicked.  No.... Not because he's another notch in Saban's bedpost (that's just a bonus).  I never want The Mad Hatter to leave because he's awesome!  And the way he bucks the system & doesn't give us the boring coach speak we've become accustomed to is just refreshing.  I know.  As a card carrying Bammer, I'm supposed to hate him.  But if you hate Les Miles, you are either a miserable person or an LSU fan (depending on the day). 

So if you've been under a rock for the past 10 years, here's 4 reasons why Les Miles is simply TOO FULL OF AWESOME:

1.  THOSE DANCE MOVES, Y'ALL!
Okay, The Harlem Shake has been played out FOR-E-VVA! But at the height of it's popularity, Les made a video of himself with the team shake, shake, shaking it.  And It. Was. Awesome.

2.  HIS DRIVING IS WORSE THAN YOURS
In the week building up to his LSU team playing The Crimson Tide, ESPN traveled to Baton Rouge to interview the crazy coach.  While riding shotgun, reporter Kaylee Hartung was busy interviewing him when he ran a red light.  If that wasn't hilarious enough, the dude proved he gives not a single shit by not seeming concerned a bit about the traffic violation.




3.  HE EATS GRASS!!!
Yep.  Like a goat, he likes to sample the grass in all the NCAA stadiums where his team plays.  It's his gameday tradition.  And you felt weird for those nasty houndstooth boxers?  And FYI, he likes the grass at Tiger Stadium the best.  I'm guessing it's all the coonass urine...

4.  HE HULA HOOPS... NOT GOOD BUT STILL!!!
And the latest & greatest in all things Les Miles, while attending a charity event he actually attempted to hula hoop.  And he was horrible at it!


So take my Bammer card back if you must...  But The Mad Hatter is AWESOME!!! 

ROLL TIDE!!!  ROLL LES MILES!!!

The Recruitment of Elisha Shaw

Image
A nother signing day has come & gone.  And in what has become the norm, Alabama has the #1 recruiting class, signing phenoms like Bo Scarbrough & Rashaan Evans.  Rival fanbases have already begun the annual discussions of which players on Saban's roster will be "processed" to make room for all the incoming 5 stars.  Ya know... Because the leader of the evil empire doesn't care about players.  He only cares about winning. While ESPN is ooing & awing over what might possibly be the best signing class ever, the best story of National Signing Day has gone virtually unmentioned.  The story of Elisha Shaw.  Outside of my fellow recruiting junkies, I doubt anyone's even heard his name.  At one time, Shaw was one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the nation.  With 17 scholarship offers on the table, programs like Georgia, auburn, & Florida State were all fighting for him.  But Shaw's situation changed drastically when he suffered a severe ne

Iron Bowl Problems

Image
F or the last month, I've been struggling with a really difficult life decision.  I'm not talking about where to plan my next vacation or what color to paint my kitchen, y'all.  This is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than that....  See, I am the proud owner of a couple of Iron Bowl tickets & I've been really torn about what I should do with them.  Before you roll your eyes and label this a first world problem, hear me out & you'll understand why it's been so hard deciding should I stay or should I go. Reason #1 I really hate Auburn, y'all.  This is not your typical run of the mill kinda hate either.  I despise everything about them.  I hate their fans.  They're truly the most annoying fanbase in all of college football.  I hate the way they not only think God is a football fan but he is, in fact, an auburn fan.  I hate the way they make signs saying things like, "God Thing" while guzzling bourbon and cursing at opposing fanbases.  I hate that t

Rammer Jammer~A Video Diary

H ave you ever been around that snotty nosed kid that won't accept not getting their way?  You know the one I'm talking about.  The little brat that puts his fingers in his ears while screaming, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!".  Imagine about 200 of those little assholes in head to toe orange and blue.  But instead of the 'I can't hear you' mantra, they manage to come up with something even more annoying.  The auburn fight song. Yep.  This happened Saturday night, y'all.  I have clocked 5 years experience sitting next to the visiting band.  It isn't always easy but I really do love my section.  Plus, sometimes you get to score awesome pictures like this: Ironically, with 00:01 left on the clock, about 100,000 of my closest friends and I celebrated a much deserved win over our in-state rival.  Kids, I'm telling ya....  After suffering thru 2010 & 2013, the look of relief on my face would be virtually impossible to dupli
