LES MILES IS NO THUCYDIDES

* Thucydides said " I fear my own mistakes far more than any strategy of my enemy" In other words Don't beat yourself . Les has not learned this.

Miles did the worst job of clock management in the Ole Miss game that I have witnessed in over 50 years of watching football.

I will not repeat the chain of events here. Even if you saw it you can not comprehend what happened.

Miles makes more than 3 million a year to coach the Tigers. For that kind of cash you would think he could manage the clock.

If I were the LSU AD I would encourage Les to coach elsewhere. If someone would take Miles I would pay the freight to get him there. It was that bad.

This type of judgement you expect from a Daddy Coach in the 8 year old league . Not in the SEC.

The only case close to this happened at Medina in 1970. Medina Women's superstar Penny Ferguson missed almost the whole first half of her District tournament game.

Penny was sitting outside the gym in a 56 Hudson Hornet pitching WOO with the Mystic. Time flies when you are having fun.

When Penny hit the door there was 1:22 left in the half & the Lady Hornets were in a deep hole. Coach M.N. Underfall was some kind of hot. Coach was almost as upset as the LSU fans.

* IS THERE A CONSPIRACY AMONG THE ZEBRAS ?

For the record I don't think that there is a conspiracy among the SEC officials. The SEC is sending nine or more teams to bowls. The conference gets the same money no matter who goes where.

The danger of a team being protected happens in a non BCS conference where that team is the only hope for a big money Bowl.If the team does not make it the conference gets no money.

There might be some unspoken pressure from the conference office to see that the Hope makes the Big Dollar game.

* HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING
