LSU’s Les Miles is the new Riverboat Gambler in town
Move over, Tommy Tuberville. There’s a new Riverboat Gambler in town. And his name is Les Miles.
There’s a reason Miles just became the first LSU head coach since Gerry DiNardo to win a football game in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
There’s a reason Miles has coached four games against Tuberville and LSU has won three of them.
There’s a reason Miles has a national championship in his trophy case and Tuberville has an undefeated but unrewarded season in his.
It’s not just luck.
The Mad Hatter plays to win.
You know, the way Tuberville used to. In the good old days. When he had a lot less talent than he does now. And so did a lot of Auburn’s rivals.
LSU 26, Auburn 21 isn’t the end of the world for Tuberville and his Tigers, or even the end of the season, but it’s a sign. This is a new world.
