Miles has two straight 11-2 seasons, both capped with bowl blowout victories (last year's in a BCS Bowl).<BR/><BR/>Sure, Miles dropped the f-bomb and he made fun of USC's schedule. How is that horribly unethical? He also guided this team through the tragedies of the hurricanes two years ago, which was no small feat. If anything, LSU fans have been impressed with Miles' character more than anything. He seems rather incapable of putting forth a false front, making him the anti-Saban. <BR/><BR/>And if any moron can win as LSU's head coach, how come Miles has th best two-year record in LSU history? Not just best first two years, but best two years period. <BR/><BR/>I think the only game Miles was truly outcoached was Auburn last year. and Tuberville (painful to admit) is a pretty good coach. The two losses in 2005 were both factors of the team bonking from the effects of the hurricane (particularly Tennessee, but the team had played 12 straight weeks before getting crushed by UGa). the Florida game was just a bad dream, right?<BR/><BR/>So, long story short, the MGoBlog can go f%@# itself.Poseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01235812995025612676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-31980302123550278882007-07-11T20:40:00.000-04:002007-07-11T20:40:00.000-04:00Oops nope.

Tommie Frazier played in 3 title games and was the MVP in all 3 of them outperforming the Heisman winner Charlie Ward in the '93 Orange Bowl.<BR/><BR/>I think Weurffel is a good guy and I always enjoyed how he handled the Spurrier tirades but he is good deal behind Frazier, Flutie, and Young. <BR/><BR/>@Sheik<BR/>I know that Florida had the best passing attack and no WRs but how does Nebraska have the greatest running game ever and not even produce a lineman on the list?

He played UT in a monsoon that was so bad that the signal wasn't able to be seen on tv. He threw for like 6 td's and the second quarter I think he led us to like five tds. Of course I am probably speaking out of my ass since I can't find the stats anywhere. <BR/><BR/>Also I found it odd that Emmitt Smith only garnered like 2% of the vote for his college career since he never had a line to run behind, but he was no herschel walker or Bo "Don't know how to read" Jackson. <BR/><BR/>Seriously though the players you could choose for left a lot of players off. I mean cmon how can you not have Anthone Lott at least listed in the db's. There were no gator wr's or db's listed. Sure they may not have been the greatest ever but they should have been at least in the discussion. For ten years we had the greatest passing attack possibly ever in college yet no wideouts?

At least Frost agreed to move to another position in the NFL rather than "retire".

With Nebraska's team you had to stop Frazier because he made the offense go and teams could not do it. I think what hurt Frazier the most in 1995 was all of the off the field incidents that plagued the Huskers that year. <BR/><BR/>In 94 Sapp may have been dancing around but the O-line of Nebraska had a lot to do with that. In my opinion the O-line in 1994 was the greatest O-Line in Nebraska history even better than the 1983 O-line with Rimington and Steinkuhler. <BR/><BR/>Part of my point of brining up Frazier is that he is so easily dismissed because those Nebraska teams were so dominant and people lose the Instant History of VY and Leinert and because Peyton is on his way to becoming the greatest NFL QB ever so they assume he was great in college.futurelegendvinceyounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175243502967953702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-56611601295023670662007-07-11T15:07:00.000-04:002007-07-11T15:07:00.000-04:00I can't wrap my head around the idea that VY was t...I can't wrap my head around the idea that VY was the greatest college quarterback of all time. Maybe it is because I attribute that claim to a short term memory of history but it can't be right. As I write this though I have no acceptable argument as to who should be. I don't totally disagree with Peyton except that he is one of the greatest chokers in the history of the college game. What about Leinart who won one championship and lost another, as well as a Heisman. I don't know a huge amount of CFB history but this all just seems very short sighted to me. I am not claiming to be right about this maybe just suprised.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02069031942564729520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-42263010217352513422007-07-11T15:04:00.000-04:002007-07-11T15:04:00.000-04:00I don't want to sound like a fanboy or anything, b...I don't want to sound like a fanboy or anything, but the Simpsons are from Kentucky.
