Rockne's Roundtable

This '' Michigan Man'', is still shell- shocked from his QB play against Bama for the National Championship. Crybaby.No class. Classic Meat-Chicken.

He really needs to just stop talking about him much like Kelly has with Shepard

Guys, I hate to play devil's advocate here but I dont see anything terribly wrong with Miles' comments THIS time around. And footballwise, he's right, they are a cut above at present.

Lets hope that Gunner can make him look foolish down the road for having a faulty confidence building meter.

Have to disagree on this one. His contention, though stated a LITTLE more diplomatically than the first time, is that Kiel didn't have the confidence to try to make a go of it at LSU and that he was weak for staying close to home. Holy crap, that's 5th grade taunting and it's coming from the head coach of a major program. I find that embarassing for the school. Doesn't mention that 90% of the LSU team is from within 200 miles of campus - good thing those guys were too weak to stray far from home.

Talking as though LSU is a real team and ND is irrelevant is annoying, but can only be solved by turning things around and winning again.

No matter how angry a recruit makes you, how in the world can you take public shots to sooth your own ego. Throwing out juvenile barbs at a recruit that didn't do what you want is pathetic whining. Fans may have some issues with BK on occasion, but I can't even imagine him being anything but a class act when talking about recruits. Even when kicked in the teeth by someone's late decision or reversal, he either says nothing or wishes them well. I find it sad that a grown man, in a position of responsibility, can take these kind of shots at 18 year olds and not be brought to task. Where is the school president? Where's the Atheletic Director? What an embarassment for LSU and the NCAA in general.

All Kiel had to do is listen to how Miles handled his team before the National Championship game to figure out what kind of coach he is. I'm surprised he didn't run to South Bend after that clusterf*ck Les created.

bndally,

Good point about the large volume of LSU players who come from nearby, I reviewed the 2012 LSU roster and found 116 players with their hometowns. By my count, 77 were from Louisiana, and another 16 from neighboring states such as Mississippi, Alabama and especially Texas.

The only two I saw from the Midwest were running back Spencer Ware (Cincinnati Princeton) and linebacker Branch Kampe (Rochester, Mich.).

A grown man doesn't win when he engages in this kind of bitterness publicly. Steve Kragthorpe handled this with much more grace and aplomb.

Loose translation, Gunner came down here and realized he wasn't a big enough A***ole to play football for LSU. Besides, he would have destroyed our Wonderlick rate.
