Les Miles quote: "Spectacular group of men. You go find them, you throw your arms around them, you give them a big kiss on the mouth - if you're a girl.
"Wow! What a game, are you kidding me? When Odell Beckham is going. . . I felt like a bowler at the bowling lanes. Anyways, questions."
Tinker Town: "When you hear a man truly believe what he is saying. I feel a profound respect for his honesty and of course hope for the best. I never like to see another person get really hurt because of their convictions. Les Miles loves his LSU college football players - no doubt about that."

| The BCS Title Chase - NOW WHAT?! | ||||
Notre Dame QB Everett Golson
|
After the big losses on Saturday night, where do things stand now? | |||
E-mail Pete Fiutak Follow us ... @ColFootballNews This was supposed to be a weekend of dud games, and then, all of a sudden, the 2012 college football season was caught looking at a bender of a curveball. So what the heck just happened? Kansas State, ranked No. 1 in the latest BCS rankings, was finally exposed for being the marginally talented team that it is, getting its doors blown off by a Baylor squad that came into the game with a high-octane offense and a defense ranking dead last in all of college football. Meanwhile, No. 2 Oregon and its tippy-tappy finesse attack, and a running game that doesn’t work against great defenses with talented front sevens that can get into the backfield, lost in overtime to a Stanford team with a great defense and a talented front seven that came into the game leading the nation in tackles for loss. Earlier in the day, No. 3 Notre Dame picked a perfect time to finally introduce its fan base to the concept of the style point with a 38-0 blasting of Wake Forest. The next six teams in the BCS rankings are all from the SEC, and all but No. 7 LSU chose to take the week off by playing FCS teams, while the Tigers struggled at home to get by Ole Miss. And now the table is set. Barring something wacky on an unprecedented level, some SEC team will get a shot to bring the conference its seventh straight BCS championship. And, get ready for the punchline, America … Unless Notre Dame can beat USC, get ready for a second straight SEC vs. SEC BCS championship. So in the span of just a few hours, all the fans sick and tired of living in an SEC world, and being just a few wins by the top three teams away from avoiding the conference altogether, could very easily have to sit back and groove on yet another year of the SEC sticking its dominance in everyone’s face. Unless Notre Dame can come through. 11-0 Ohio State isn’t eligible for the BCS championship, so it’s magical run through a miserable Big Ten and a worse non-conference slate is irrelevant. Notre Dame is the only unbeaten team left that matters, and all it has to do is win one game over an underachieving Trojan team to play for the BCS championship.

LSU's Odell Beckham Jr. returned a punt 89 yards for a touchdown
BATON ROUGE -- An 89-yard punt return against Ole Miss on a
Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium sparked a fourth-quarter comeback by the
eight-ranked LSU football team, 41-35.
Odell Beckham Jr. brought back memories of Billy Cannon's 1959 Halloween night punt return of the same distance against the Rebels with a dazzling run that ended with a game-tying touchdown.
With four Rebels in front of him, Beckham Jr. fielded the punt at the 11 in the south end of Tiger Stadium. The sophomore darted to his left, getting a block from Jalen Collins that took out two defenders at the 13. He cut back right and broke a tackle by Ole Miss' Joel Knight at the 23, ran along the 25 yard line, dodging a tackle by Mike Marry. A block by Jalen Mills allowed Beckham Jr. to turn the ball upfield at the right hash, and another by Deion Jones at the LSU 45 put him in the backseat of a five-man escort to the endzone.

LSU Coach Les Miles' post-game rant adds to his Mad Hatter legacy
By
Jim Kleinpeter, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune
on November 18, 2012
On the biggest BCS blockbusting day of the college football season, LSU Coach Les Miles took center stage and spotlight. Sure, Stanford and Baylor rocked the BCS world with upsets of unbeatens Oregon and Kansas State, but right along with that, folks across the country were muttering "Did you hear what Les did this time?"
Miles' emotional post-game rant following LSU's 41-35 victory against Ole Miss was full of spit and vinegar - and one profanity - formed by the confluence of a thrilling victory, the home finale/Senior Day experience, and Miles anger at a newspaper story about one of his players' failure to live up to his recruiting hype.
It was a classic Les Miles moment for the man nicknamed the Mad Hatter and to whom a website called "The Quotable Les Miles" is dedicated to collecting and dispensing his greatest utterances. They've suddenly got a lot more fresh, quality material.
The video went viral hours after the game. No text representation could do it justice but

"Wasn't that 89 yards, the Billy Cannon route? Wasn't that really the same route? Honest to Pete, somebody needs to check that out, where the route was, where the cuts were, that sideline period, right? 'Cause 89 the same time. Was it the same night? Is this Halloween? I was on a roll there for a while. Damn." Read more...http://www.nola.com/
