Actually, this shows me that you do not know LSU football. 75% of the players on the team were recruited by Miles and it was Miles players that won the SEC championship... try again...

I think thats a reference to the post of an LSU fan who said the Tressel won with Coopers players back in 02:2004:

Miles has conquered 6 Crystal Trophy-winning coaches thus far in his Head Coaching career:

- Stoops
- Coker
- Spurrier
- Saban
- Fulmer
- Meyer

If Miles beats Tressel, that'll be 7. He may not be as dumb as people think...

Stoops: 2-2 against OU while at OkState. Meh.
Coker: Beat Coker's 2005 Miami team that was in the beginning of their collapse. So-so.
Spurrier: Beat 6-6 South Carolina by 12 at home this year. Not impressed.
Saban: Beat 6-6 Alabama by 7 points on the road. Not impressed.
Fulmer: 2-1 against fat boy, all three games close.
Meyer: 2-1 against Meyer, with both wins coming at home by 4 points.

At first glance, "conquering 6 Crystal Trophy-winning coaches" appears impressive, but upon further review...

The late Sal Aunese's kid is a walk-on QB for "The Hat", who recruited Sal to Colorado, where he dated Head Coach Bill McCartney's daughter.

All in the family: Miles coaches son of late QB recruit

BATON ROUGE ? Colorado football coach Bill McCartney was on the couch with his wife, Lyndi, watching college football on a Saturday night. "We'd played that day, and after a game I was always very drained," he recalls.
This was the fall of 1988 in Boulder, Colo. McCartney does not remember the foe for his Colorado Buffaloes that day, but he remembers what happened next. His 19-year-old daughter, Kristy, a student at Colorado, came to visit.

"She came up behind me and put one hand on my shoulder and her other hand on my wife's shoulder and said, 'Dad, I'm pregnant,' " McCartney says. "We just got up. We both hugged her and told her we loved her."
That was only the first shock.

"Then she said the father is Sal, which came as a complete surprise," McCartney says. "I did not know he was dating my daughter."
Sal Aunese, 20, was Colorado's junior starting quarterback.

"Had I known he was interested in her, I would've asked his intentions," says McCartney, who two years later founded the Christian organization Promise Keepers for men.

McCartney's first reaction was not rage toward Aunese, a star out of Vista High in Oceanside, Calif., whom a Colorado assistant named Les Miles beat out Nebraska to sign in 1986.

"I never felt any anger toward Sal," McCartney says. "How could you say it was his fault? She was there, too. They did this together. I didn't blame Sal."

Aunese died Sept. 23, 1989, of a rare form of stomach cancer at 21. Kristy was at the packed memorial service with a 5-month-old boy she named Timothy Chase, or T.C., McCartney.

McCartney spoke at the service, looked at his daughter and said, "Kristy McCartney, you've been a trouper. ? You're going to raise that little guy, and all of us are going to have an opportunity to watch him."

Kristy moved next door to her father, who retired after the 1994 season at 54 and raised T.C. as his own.

That "little guy" is 18 now and a freshman walk-on quarterback at LSU. He will be in uniform Jan. 7 when No. 2 LSU meets No. 1 Ohio State in the BCS title game in New Orleans. The Colorado assistant who signed his father is now his head coach.

Actually, I had an agenda with my post that went well above your head. You rail on and on about how us Buckeyes don't have a sense of humor and can't understand your whimsical banter. In one fell swoop, I proved that you haven't a freaking clue what my intent was, because I didn't use an emoticon. Funny how that shit works, huh? Interestingly enough, it appears that a number of my BP colleagues caught the drift.

I know more about LSU football than you do of the Buckeyes.

Okay, let's take a look at LSU's starting lineup, and see which players Saban recruited and which ones Miles recruited. For the 2005 LSU class (And Miles was hired in January of 2005) all players committed before January 1st I will refer to as Nick Saban's, and all players committed after will be referred to as Les Miles.

Miles' Players (5 Starters)
Kieland Williams (Backup RB, but I'll list him as a starter)
Brandon LaFell (WR)
Richard Dickson (TE)
Ciron Black (OT)
Rahem Alem (DT)



Saban's Players (17 Starters)
Matt Flynn (QB)
Jacob Hester (RB/FB, but I'll list him as the FB)
Early Doucet (WR)
Carnell Stewart (OT)
Herman Johnson (OG)
Lyle Hitt (OG)
Brett Helms (C)
Tyson Jackson (DE)
Glenn Dorsey (DT)
Marlon Favorite (DE)
Luke Sanders (LB)
Ali Highsmith (LB)
Darry Beckwith (LB)
Johnathon Zenon (CB)
Chevis Jackson (CB)
Craig Steltz (S)
Curtis Taylor (S)

Hell, even the punter is a Saban recruit, but I'm not sure about Colt David.

As you can see, nearly all of your starters and all of your key players are Saban's players. Hell, I was even generous and gave you Keiland Williams as a starter even though he clearly is not.

If you get enough chances, you're bound to beat them at some point. Hell even Lllllloyd Carr beat Ohio State under Tressel... once.

"Mr. Hat" is already 0-1 against Tressel from back in his Oklahoma State days. It would be nice to make that 0-2.

P.S.- No Mack Brown on that list??
