Be angry if you must, as is certainly your right as an American, but please consider this before casting your general election vote in November:

In lieu of the not-so-ingenious football minds at LSU firing the not-so-inept Les Miles, I ask instead that they first share with him their superior football knowledge, coaching techniques and philosophies, enlightening him with the knowledge necessary to create the, “Annually-Undefeated-National-Championship-Winning-NCAA-Football-Machine” after which they so longingly lust. I won’t hold my breath, but I will Continue reading Les is More
