quote:

Griffin had some contact with LSU, but the Tigers backed off after taking a commitment from Aldine, Texas, quarterback Darron Thomas. Thomas wound up going to Oregon -- which had also recruited Griffin -- after LSU decided to take Jordan Jefferson.


A story in SI about Thomas a couple of years ago reported that he wanted to play QB and go to LSU but we were recruiting him as an "athlete." if memory serves, his HS coach warned the LSU coaches before a visit not to mention the "A" word, but when they met with him, they raved about his abilities as an "athlete." According to the article, he came back home and told his coach that he no longer wanted to go to LSU. Hence, Oregon. As for RGIII, the story in SI on him only mentioned that he was considering LSU. Don't remember any other details. I do remember when reading that article and thinking that we had missed on two Texas QB prospects who would have been really good for us. Oh, well....

That is fricking awesome.

Not only does the commercial nail the entire story of the 2012 season, but Les is perfect.

Hell, Les might have converted him to WR. It's sure worked wonders for Shep,(the former #1 option qb in the nation)


Lol have you ever seen shep throw, moron?

does anyone else think people are looking too much into the "meaning" of the commercial?

can't just be that mike was playing with a different player with LSU?

i don't think it was meant to be a shot at jj or the 2011 season. you can take out RG3 and insert sanders or walker at RB howard at WR etc.

i'm a miles fan but i don't think the guy would sign off on an idea that questioned his use of QB's last season.

That was great! Every bit as good as the sportcenter recruiting commercial Les did in 08 after the ship IMO. Les does great commercials.

One great things about Les Miles is that he has a sense of humor, unlike some "fans" around here.
