Chit I've learned of today...

1. According to the infamous "my sources" (man, that S.O.B. NEVER takes a day off, right? Too bad he seems to be working for everyone, like an ambitious hooker.), Miles to Michigan isn't the slam dunk it first appeared to be. People close to LSU's program who mow the lawn of friends of Les Miles say he's more torn than expected over where to go. That part is serious. The part that isn't is that Miles cuts his own grass.

2. If Miles does leave (and don't listen to the AD, who is described as a puppet), who will they hire? Lombardi ring a bell? No, they're not digging his ass up. But John V. Lombardi is the Prez at LSU and...get this...pees sitting down! No, he might, but he did hire this guy named Steve Spurrier way back when he had the same job at Florida. Old ties die hard. It's why people continue to sleep with their ex's even though they can't stand to be around them for 5 minutes in a conversation. Spurrier and Lombardi aren't having sex, but his name would be numero uno in Tiger town if Les bolted.

3. Speaking of Steve Spermier, Texas A&M wants this guy to consider their school. Well, the alums do. The alums also think TAMU is a top 10 job in the country (they say "still" but I wonder when the hell it's first stint in that demographic happened). Texas A&M is the Target of jobs. People capable of shopping at better stores for the same looking clothes with different words on the tag always do, and people that want no stress and more bang for their buck go to Wal-Mart. TAMU is in the middle, and in this 3some, the middle is bad. One name that you won't hear circling around loudly? Mike Price of UTEP. The strippers in El Paso are second rate. Likely, TAMU will end up hiring a high level assistant.
