BATON ROUGE, La. -- Today Les Miles and LSU forever vanqiushed the ghost of coaches past. With a 24-21 win, Les Miles stood toe-to-toe with Nick Saban, the man who many Tiger fans credited for LSU's second national title. This time, there was no doubt who was the better coach or who had the better team, Miles slayed Saban with a fake field goal, with a fourth-down toss sweep reverse, with a third-and-13 pass play from inside his own 20. Miles did what Miles does, he coached with utter disregard for what anyone else thinks. And perhaps without regard for the laws of football, physics or digestion. Digestion?
Indeed, midway through the fourth quarter, amidst the defining moments of the game, Miles even leaned over and ate some of the grass on Tiger field. For years we've been trying to figure out the magic behind Miles' "Milacles." Now maybe we know: Miles has attained karmic oneness with the field itself (check out the video of his meal).
Asked about eating the grass in the postgame press conference, Miles said he does it every game. "Yeah, you know what I do," Miles said, "I've got a little tradition that humbles me as a man that let's me know I'm part of the field. It's going to be all over the Internet. You know what? You should have seen some games before this. I know one thing, the grass in Tiger Stadium tastes best."
I think I speak for everyone when I say, never change Les Miles. Ever.
