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 su...

Bama Baseball Heads to Tallahasee: They Scrong!

Image
Bama Baseball is headed to Tallahassee for the NCAA Regionals as a 2 seed in the 4-team, double-elimination event.  Bama Bats will face off against Kennesaw State on Friday while The Famous Jameis FSU Seminoles take on Georgia Southern.  Bama's dominant start in SEC play helped them climb all the way up in the rankings to #8, but a brutal back half of the schedule left them beat up, beat down, & beat out.  After a one & done performance at the SEC Championship Series last week, the Tide goes into the series with a .278 batting average which is among the upper half of the SEC.  And with 10 SEC teams making it in, that speaks volumes. *auburn & tennessee did not. LOLOLOLOLOLOL* Now the big question is who's on the mound Friday?  Care to take a guess..... I think Bama will surprise people this weekend.  I'm scrong! Like, they scrong! Are you scrong? WE SCRONG!!! ROLL TIDE! ROLL BAMA BATS!

I HATE AUBURN!!!

Image
     I really do.  So in honor of being stuck watching them play in the SEC Championship Game today, I thought I'd make myself feel better by listing some of the many reasons why I HATE AUBURN !       I hate Patrick Fain Dye. I hate his drunken diatribes. I hate his interviews. Why should I care what a drunk, cheating, lying tree farmer who loses his own pants has to say? I hate that he can't even say the word family.  What does fambly even mean?  I hate that he's like the Jim Jones to the auburn cult!      I hate Tommy Tuberville.  I hate his ears. I hate wingnuts because they remind me of him.  I hate his smug grin.  I hate that he allowed his '04 team to receive championship rings FOR WINNING NOTHING! I hate his thumbs & that stupid saying, 'Fear The Thumb'. What kind of man holds up fingers to taunt heartbroken college kids?  A classless one named Tommy.  That's who....
