I vote for the Tigers to come out with a chip on their shoulder big enough to show America, Lloyd Carr, and if need be, Les Miles, how solid they are. LSU has come along way, too far to throw it all away in this eleventh hour!<BR/><BR/>Second, although speculation pegged it that Lloyd's retirement was imminent if Michigan lost to Ohio State for the sixth meet-up in a row, either directly following the game or at Monday's press conference, wouldn’t you say by the precise timing of his grand announcement, Lloyd Carr’s pretty much made his choice where Les Miles is concerned?<BR/><BR/>The way I see it, Lloyd’s timing puts Les in a far less than desirable, likely no win situation. Les may be salivating over Lloyd’s job but taking it, in my opinion, would be suicide for both himself and his (current) team. To announce prior to a Championship game that he’s taking the job, puts his team in an awkward position and jeopardizes a much earned/deserved title. Not accepting the job puts at risk his chances of actually landing it and accepting and not announcing it will be obvious and he knows it.<BR/><BR/>I’m first, last and always a Wolverine, however, for the past number of years I’ve rooted equally for LSU’s Tigers and in this moment of bitter-sweet anticipation of what hangs in the balance for both team, I believe to maintain any respect at all, Lloyd Carr needs to go away quietly and Les Miles needs to step-up and put the team he’s lead to this pinnacle first and take care of finishing the business at hand. <BR/><BR/>That said, GEAUX LSU TIGERS!!!<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>~MM~~MM~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12697353374633740833noreply@blogger.com
