Rivalry Weekend. You never know what might happen. Upsets and chaos are always possible. But the only real upset this year was Les Miles upsetting the Board of Supervisors and big money boosters by winning the game and the hearts of those on the bayou. On the recap…
We have to start with Les. Because Les is more this week.
When I see "Les Miles" in my timeline,
I almost always read it as "Les Mis,"
which makes for funny Twitter

This is solid trolling…
Unequivocally, I support Les Miles. #BamaFansforLes #RTR

But the Tigers played relatively well this week.

If I were Les, I'd coach in a bathrobe and smoke a pipe next season.

Joe Alleva, @lsu AD, is the kind of lifeguard who makes you swim ashore before he throws you a life preserver.

There was a great ending to the Stanford game going on about the same time as the dramatics were playing out in Baton Rouge.
I watched the Stanford tree dance, flipped the channel and Les Miles was singing on TV. Holy heavens above.

Still trying to figure out which was the crazier thing tonight, Stanford beating ND at the buzzer or common sense beating LSU at the buzzer.

Iron Bowl time…that means Griffin pulls out his 15 minutes (seconds) of fame.
This coat, y’all.

Me and the boys must have watched this clip 50 times Saturday. They laughed every time. So did I.

That play led to Will Muschamp losing his ever-loving mind. Which was the highlight of the game for me.

One technically began in Champaign. But that’s not quite the best endorsement of a coach…
#illini AD Paul Kowalczyk on 2-year deal: "It's not ideal but for now, I don't think it'll put a dagger in the heart of the program."

Trendy to stage college sports events in non/traditional venues. Baylor and TCU set the bar by choosing inside of a car wash.

Last time it rained like the #BAYvsTCU game Noah was on the scene (although most of those faculty reject the biblical flood).
