Front Page Story: Miles says LSU respects Clemson, compares bowl game to BCS game

Miles says LSU respects Clemson, compares bowl game to BCS game

LSU coach Les Miles was supposed to sit down with the Clemson media Monday; instead, he remained standing while delivering his insight into the bowl game and Clemson. Full Story »

"Working within the skill level of their secondary"....AKA, not much talent back there and have to try to scheme around it. JMHO.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yep that's the best way to say it


Dec 18, 2012, 10:39 AM

If our secondary could have improved as much as our front 7 has this year things would have been different against SC.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Clemson needs to write that down.


Dec 18, 2012, 10:41 AM

Being physical is running fast and hitting. Have to do that very thing in this game against LSU as well as being smart about the play-calling. This theory also needs to carry over next year and the years to come.

Did anyone watch the joint interview?


Dec 18, 2012, 10:48 AM

I'm really curious what the heck Swinney said to Miles at the very end that caused such an odd look on his face as if he was trying to figure out, "should I be pi**ed or what?"

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think he said something he thought was funny


Dec 18, 2012, 11:08 AM

and Miles either didn't agree, or just didn't get it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Might be


Dec 18, 2012, 11:48 AM

Or it could have been a slight dig Swinney covered as humor. Either way, you can see Miles thinking about it with a real odd expression on his face. Just an odd exchange.

He might have said "No matter what you do, ya'll ain't getting Robert Nkemdiche either....Ha Ha Ha"

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Maybe it was "We're gonna kick your a$$"***

Pretty sure he said


Dec 18, 2012, 11:53 AM [ in reply to Did anyone watch the joint interview? ]

"After we light you up like a Christmas tree I will be sure to save you a spot as a coach for us."

No? He didn't?

LOL

that our DBs do a good job with the talent they have, veiled barb there.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Not sure it's a barb...


Dec 18, 2012, 11:03 AM

...was about as nicely as he could put it.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There's no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people who ask questions.


Might be right


Dec 18, 2012, 11:07 AM

I think I would've avoided it altogether, because I couldn't find a way to put it that nicely.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I picked up on that quote too.


Dec 18, 2012, 11:31 AM [ in reply to I like how he said ]

I took it as a subtle, back-handed comment.

"Gamecocks aren’t ready to take college football by storm just yet. They’re not even ready to compete in their own state – Clemson will still own the territory. Gamecocks fans would be smart to keep their heads buried until that time. Avoid talking trash to a much better Clemson program.” -Dustin Tackett


Re: I picked up on that quote too.


Dec 18, 2012, 8:39 PM

I mean it's true.

Dabo may have taken a little jab at the Gamecocks, too. Did you pick up where he said LSU would be the most physical team we have played in a while? Guess that discounts the last team we played as being physical.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I hope Clemson kicks LSU's ####***

news conferences like this are worthless - what do you.....


Dec 18, 2012, 11:37 AM

expect each coach to say? They always toe the line and talk about how the other team's the greatest in the world, etc. You know what they're going to say before they say it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: news conferences like this are worthless - what do you.....


Dec 18, 2012, 12:21 PM

If it wouldn't have had a back lash for Miles. He would have come right out and said to Dabo, shut tha F up. We are going to kick the sh!t out your boyzzz. Y'all have been threw in the ring with real Tigerss. That's the perception I get from Miles.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Would Miles say "I THINK our team respects them" about Bama?


Dec 18, 2012, 12:49 PM

If Miles were talking about Bama, or somebody that his team truly respected, I think he'd say something like, "We respect them," or "We have great respect for them". Maybe I'm reading too much into it but if he twice said "I think our team respects them," that gives me hope that they actually don't respect Clemson much.

That would be very good because I think Clemson's only chance is if Clemson plays an A+ game, on-fire, as an underdog with something to prove, and with a few "lucky" breaks, after a month of brutal conditioning & preparation, AND if LSU's players take Clemson lightly because hopefully they don't respect Clemson.

Go Clemson!

Re: Would Miles say "I THINK our team respects them" about Bama?


Dec 18, 2012, 2:16 PM

That's a coach that knows he is going to kick the #### out his opponent. No more. No less. He just can't say it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There is a definite respect between the coaches. Miles


Dec 18, 2012, 8:30 PM [ in reply to Would Miles say "I THINK our team respects them" about Bama? ]

always voted us high in the coaches poll, and even higher than Swinney did at the end of the season. I am sure some of it goes back to the Terry Don connection, but I think coaches hear & know which ones run more solid programs, and which one's try and do things the right way.

You Clemson fans are something else. Everyone knows Miles is a good, genuine person, but for some reason everyone in this thread thinks he was "scheming" or something to #### off the Clemson fanbase.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don't think he was scheming or insulting.


Dec 19, 2012, 6:28 PM

I think he was probably trying to be nice but was too genuine to outright say that they definitely respect Clemson.

Re: Front Page Story: Miles says LSU respects Clemson, compares bowl game to BCS game


Dec 18, 2012, 7:29 PM

Les might be eccentric but I agree with what he said about the Chick-fi-la bowl having a better matchup than most of the BCS bowls. The BCS games (with the exception of Bama-ND & Oregon-KState) are a joke and the BCS committee deserves every pie they get thrown in heir faces.
