No doubt the tube tops and cigarettes are flying off the shelves at every bait shop and flea market (read: mall) in Louisiana as the swamp things celebrate their “big win” over defending national champions the University of Alabama. I’d like to think it’s unlikely that logic-defying Coach Les Miles could do anything more than pad his pathetic resume with this win over the Crimson Tide. But then again, it’s Les Miles and stranger things have happened. Like him.
For a program like LSU that’s being led by a curiosity more suited to coach the Special Olympics (no disrespect to the real athletes who compete by lumping Miles in with them) than the SEC, this “signature” win may be enough. It was for South Carolina. Besides, it’s not like Nick Saban has been there lately to do the work that Les can take credit for. Let’s face it, anyone except the swamp creatures in America’s cess pool credits Nick Saban with two of LSU’s three national championships.
LSU fans must be in a constant stupor (few in the monster mash could be accused of being sober and coherent) because I think they seriously believe that Miles (aka Stupid McDumDum) will actually lead them to a national championship. It’s more than obvious they need a little detox. Because their coach (like their levees and their politicians) really sucks. As Jeff Foxworthy might say, “If you’re not sure whether to scratch your watch or wind your butt, you might be Les Miles.”
For Alabama fans, the loss hurts because there was still a chance to make it to the BCS National Championship Game. Granted, a lot of things would have to line up to make that happen. And speaking of that, the crazy universe lined up perfectly for Loser State University, just as it did for South Carolina. Against Alabama, QB Jordan Jefferson completed only his second TD pass this season, and QB Jarrett Lee made history for completing a pass to a player on his own team.
While losing to a moron hurts, just think things could still be worse. The moron could be Alabama’s coach. Not that that would ever be a serious threat. Les Miles works in the bayou because few other fanbases would revere him as a great coach or great orator–or even be coherent enough to know the difference.
