Oh no! SNOW!!! And yes
we are now having a canadian cold front spread all over my nice war body
again...I wanted to go to Wall-Mart also, but now I am thinking holycow!!!!
I
lost 8 pounds by not drinking cream, and milk & sugar, in my daily cup of
coffee, and no bread, and just watching out for the amount of calories
like I was told me. Then I started eating bread and butter, coffee with
half and half, sugar, and pie, candy, chips and coca cola, Hell! I was
even eating cakes and ice cream.

OXFORD,
Miss. – LSU football coach Les Miles’ future is in danger even if the
Tigers win out to end the regular season, an LSU Board of Supervisors
member said on Friday.
“I think if he wins the next two games, it’s still something that needs to be looked at,” LSU Board of Supervisors member Ronald Anderson told Gannett Louisiana on Friday. “It’s the way they lost the two games.”
No. 15 LSU (7-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference), which plays at No. 22 Ole Miss (7-3, 4-2 SEC) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday on CBS, lost to unranked, four-loss Arkansas by 31-14 last week and lost, 30-16, to then-No. 4 Alabama the previous week when the Tigers were 7-0 and No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings. Those were LSU’s first back-to-back losses by double digits since 1999 when the program was in the midst of eight losing seasons in 11 years.
“If he wins them both, that complicates it,” said Anderson, who has served on the board on and off since 1997. “That’s my opinion. It’s not just the number of losses, but the quality of the losses. The next two games are really important to deciding the future of the program. And you’ve got to look at the progress of the program from the standpoint of a number of years.”
LSU closes the regular season at home against Texas A&M (7-3, 3-3 SEC) on Nov. 28.
Miles, 62, is 110-32 overall for a .774 winning percentage in 11 seasons with a 60-26 mark in the SEC for a .697 winning percentage with a national championship in the 2007-08 season, a 13-1 season and a national championship game appearance in 2011-12, SEC titles in 2007 and ’11 and a SEC West title in 2005. He has seven double-digit win seasons – 2005, ’06, ’07, ’10, ’11, ’12 and ’13.
Since the 8-0 SEC season in 2011, though, LSU has fallen in the SEC to 6-2, 5-3, 4-4 and now is 4-2. The Tigers have also lost five straight games to Alabama, including three by multiple touchdowns – 21-0 in the BCS national championship game on Jan. 9, 2012, 38-17 in 2013 and 30-16 this season.
Miles saw his job status plummet shortly after the Arkansas game.
Writers at TigerBait.com and at Tiger Rag Magazine each wrote that Miles would be coaching for his job in LSU’s last two regular season games. Miles, who usually downplays things at press conferences, said himself that the season was in crisis mode during his opening remarks at his weekly press luncheon on Monday.
“It’s a time where as a coach, you just bury your head and you go to work and coach like there’s no tomorrow,” he said. “And it’s time to step up. I think our guys understand that. They understand crisis.”
On Wednesday, a column in the Baton Rouge Advocate said, “There is a serious threat to Miles tenure here,” under the headlines, “Thinning ice,” and “LSU’s Miles coaching for his job the next two weeks.” A Gannett Louisiana column on Thursday said that a member of LSU’s athletic department and two of Miles’ assistant coaches said LSU athletic director Joe Alleva was prepared to fire Miles, depending on how the team played over its final two regular season games.
Will 2 wins be enough for LSU coach?
