Late Late Night Open Thread
January 8th, 2011 at 1:36 AM ^
Les Miles reportedly to Michigan within the next 48 hours. Radio host put his professionalism on the line in reporting this.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:37 AM ^
To start with?
January 8th, 2011 at 1:39 AM ^
Bo Pelini the leading candidate to replace him
January 8th, 2011 at 3:36 AM ^
To be fair to the host, he didnt put his professionalism on the line, he said he feels that it is going to happen, based on sources, what have you. He did say he thought it was 8 or 9 out of 10.
He also offered to buy the caller a Po' Boy if he was wrong.
January 8th, 2011 at 4:39 AM ^
Po Boy -- dressed? CUz I might take that action.
January 8th, 2011 at 4:00 AM ^
Does anyone know what Dandy Don has to say about this situation?
January 8th, 2011 at 1:37 AM ^
Not Magnus's spot. He's too scary.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:40 AM ^
I got your back. Hack has your back. Magnus just wasn't a good recruiter for blogging talent. No hard feeling though.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:43 AM ^
After you already recruited him.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:48 AM ^
He never showed up to accept the job. You have been faithfully been keeping MGoBoard alive in this chaotic time. Magnus has shown he doesn't care about us.
January 8th, 2011 at 2:08 AM ^
I think. And much more of a life than me, I'm pretty sure.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:38 AM ^
On Miles.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:39 AM ^
M-Wolverine will be replacing Magnus as HC of the MGoBlog all-star coaching staff. Magnus will be relieved of his duties due to his lack of understanding for MGoBlog culture. Farewell Magnus, you will do well on another blog. Welcome aboard M-Wolverine. Everybody please fully support him. We are all in for M-Wolverine.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:41 AM ^
His posting scheme doesn't fit the blog.
His avatar has been stolen and used more effectively by other posters.
He talks funny.
I heard he banged a chick over at Eleven Warriors.
He shredded Shredder's MSPaints.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:46 AM ^
And who stole my avatar?
<br>
<br>Hehe
January 8th, 2011 at 1:54 AM ^
You know, some guy, with like, a post.
Alright, I don't remember, but THEY UNDERSTOOD THE RIVALRIES!
January 8th, 2011 at 2:09 AM ^
It's the rivalries... ;-)
January 8th, 2011 at 2:23 AM ^
I think I got a lot of them. It seems every once in a while a wave of negs hits me as someone scrolls through my past posts.
January 8th, 2011 at 2:17 AM ^
If I remember correctly, the guy who stole your avatar goes by the name of "Silley Ace" with some numbers after it.
January 8th, 2011 at 2:22 AM ^
Ha, I should mess him up by switching the color of it. If I recall, the guy who designed it had like 3 versions or so. One breathed fire I think.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:43 AM ^
Because I hear Magnus is interviewing for the HC job...
January 8th, 2011 at 3:48 AM ^
I fully support M-Wolverine. It is hard to show full support from Bolivia. There is apparently a daily post limit for those who have been sent to Bolivia.

I believe Les is gone. I have never been one to claim I have sources, but I happen to know a guy who works for Michigan State's athletic department that is a former sports writer who covered LSU and then later worked in University of Michigan's athletic department. I got confirmation from him that the deal is done and will be announced on Tuesday officially. Les is gone.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:47 AM ^
In a Sparty source for Michigan breaking news.
January 8th, 2011 at 4:53 AM ^
1.) "know a guy"
2.) "who works for Michigan State's athletic department"
3.) "is a former sports writer"
4.) "who covered LSU"
5.) "worked in Michigan's athletic department"
Er, that doesn't scream reliability. Everything from 1-4 indicates unreliability. Number 5 is surely nothing at this point, given that we've had a change in AD and that he currently works at MSU's AD.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:41 AM ^
10 posts a minute it's impossible to gather anything from this anymore...
<br>
<br>I don't know what I feel anymore. I'm just numb. I'll be under a rock. Someone let me know when it's all over!
<br>
<br>/yeah right I can't stay away
January 8th, 2011 at 1:45 AM ^
we'll have les send ya a letter. ;-)
January 8th, 2011 at 2:00 AM ^
Take the dog for a walk.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:41 AM ^
anyone in alabama complaining about nick saban's age? I dont think so
January 8th, 2011 at 1:47 AM ^
dude, who cares how old he is when you have hair that great!
he could give GERG a run for his money, so long as he's got a stuffed beaver to compete.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:57 AM ^
Roll tide.
January 8th, 2011 at 3:08 AM ^
Fans take turns guarding his statue in front of Bryant Denny. I hate that i live in Tuscaloosa.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:43 AM ^
Aaaaaaahhh it's raining chicken wings and spicy cajun food!
January 8th, 2011 at 1:44 AM ^
Is asking about coaches coming with Miles, does anyone know about recruits that might follow?
January 8th, 2011 at 3:56 AM ^
If any recruits were to follow I would like to see the following:
1. La'el Collins - #1 ranked OT
2. Kenny Hilliard - 6'0" 218lb RB. Reminds me of Brandon Minor.
3. Anthony Johnson - #1 ranked DT.
4. Trai Turner - IIRC he had early interest in Michigan.
5. Jeremy Hill - Another big back, don't know if we have space for him.

"He said, 'They have rumors going around about (me) going to Michigan, but it's not true,'" Jefferson said. "'It's nonsense.' He said hasn't spoken to anybody, anything about Michigan. We're going to stick with that and get ready for next year."
LSU running back Stevan Ridley concurred with Jefferson.
"He told us this is his football team and this is where he's going to be," Ridley said. "We respect our coach, and this is our coach for right now, and we're going to enjoy him as long as we can. Coach Miles is a Tiger. This is his group of guys, and he's proud of us. I think this is where he will be next year."
January 8th, 2011 at 2:11 AM ^
Be true.
January 8th, 2011 at 2:23 AM ^
To the front page.
January 8th, 2011 at 3:35 AM ^
Miles said he has discussed the rumors with his players. "I told them that I had not had any conversations with Michigan to this point and, if I did, I would communicate with them very effectively," Miles said.

January 8th, 2011 at 4:55 AM ^
We've got different takes on that conversation.
January 8th, 2011 at 5:23 AM ^
Yeah, so let's believe the Lousiana's media's version of his discussion, because these guys are not at all sharpening their knives for Les Miles like they were the Detroit Free Press.
January 8th, 2011 at 1:46 AM ^
If he comes it means he lied to his players. This doesn't sit well with me. What a disaster this has become.
January 8th, 2011 at 2:00 AM ^
He can say he talked to Michigan, had a change of heart, and decided to go to his alma mater. Plus, we do not know exactly what he told his players.
January 8th, 2011 at 4:36 AM ^
period. end of story. and people thought RR was slimy. what a frickin joke.
January 8th, 2011 at 2:02 AM ^
he didnt talk to michigan.
his agent did.
January 8th, 2011 at 2:12 AM ^
There are now several conflicting reports that some players never heard him say anything about Michigan, so... Who knows.
Also note the "for right now" in one of the quotes.
January 8th, 2011 at 2:21 AM ^
Here is the TigerDroppings thread where the LSU faithful seem to think he did not say anything definitive and qualified whatever he said with "until further notice":
