LSU's Dorsey, Miles respect Laurinaitis
By Kyle Nagel
Staff Writer
Tuesday, December 18, 2007
BATON ROUGE, La. ? ? In the past two weeks, LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey has traveled to Charlotte, Houston, Orlando and Los Angeles. There was more discomfort than simply jet lag.
"See, I'm not a big-time flier," said Dorsey, the 6-foot-2, 303-pounder. "I don't like flying too much, so that was the biggest thing for me."
Along the way, Dorsey picked up several national awards, many of them in direct competition with Ohio State linebacker James Laurinaitis. While weathering his fear of the skies, Dorsey took home the Outland Trophy (best interior lineman), Bronko Nagurski Award (defensive player of the year), Lombardi Award (outstanding lineman) and Lott Trophy (defensive I.M.P.A.C.T. player of year).

Distraction ends for Les Miles Michigan's filling of job lets Tigers' coach focus on title game with OSU
By George M. Thomas
Beacon Journal sportswriter
Published on Tuesday, Dec 18, 2007
Even those not used to hearing Louisiana State football coach Les Miles speak could sense the relief in his voice in a news conference Monday.
With West Virginia's Rich Rodriguez hired to coach at the University of Michigan, Miles is free to talk about his football team. Miles, an Elyria native and Michigan alum, turned down an offer to coach the Wolverines.
''I am happy, to be honest with you, that Michigan picked a quality coach,'' Miles said. ''I can tell you that it will certainly end questions that I will have to field. I can also tell you that I have a Michigan background, and that will never change. I will be loyal to that memory and that school.''

Ohio roots deep for Tressel, Miles
Tuesday, December 18, 2007
By Todd Porter
REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER
Long before coaching the country?s top two college football teams, Jim Tressel and Les Miles were opponents. Tressel played at Berea. Miles, a year older, cut his teeth on the game in Elyria.
That was Tressel?s sophomore year in high school. Berea scrimmaged Elyria. Tressel was a quarterback. On Jan. 7, he?ll lead No. 1 Ohio State against No. 2 LSU in the BCS National Championship Game.
?We scrimmaged them, and I threw like five interceptions,? Tressel said. ?I hope he didn?t have any of them.?
Tressel?s late father, Lee, sent Miles a recruiting letter to play at Baldwin-Wallace. But Jim Tressel couldn?t remember his left guard from that year, let alone Miles.
?He might remember I threw those five picks in that scrimmage,? Tressel said.
Probably not.

Dispatch
Ohio State football
Scalping might be easier this time
More tickets, local pickup play role
Tuesday, December 18, 2007 3:14 AM
By Encarnacion Pyle
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
More Ohio State University students, faculty members, donors and alumni are getting tickets to the BCS national championship than did last season because the band doesn't need game tickets this time. And unlike for the last title game, those lucky people can pick up their tickets at Ohio State before heading to New Orleans, making it more likely that some will sell their tickets at a big profit.
"Can students scalp their tickets? Absolutely, there are no laws in the state that doesn't permit it," said Bill Jones, Ohio State's director of ticketing. "But how many students will do it? I have no idea."

Here is a good article about Les Miles and the Tigers.
2theadvocate.com | LSU Sports | Dubois: Michigan does Miles, LSU favor — Baton Rouge, LA
Quote:
Pelini coaching
LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini, an Ohio State safety from 1987-90, has accepted the head coaching job at Nebraska but will continue to coach the LSU defense in the championship game. Miles was asked what his terms were for Pelini to return for this game.
"I agreed that he could call the entire defense, call the plays, and I also agreed that we would be ahead at the end of the game," Miles joked. "If he called the defense that didn't allow that then he would be relieved of duty immediately."
