Actually, this shows me that you do not know LSU football. 75% of the players on the team were recruited by Miles and it was Miles players that won the SEC championship... try again...

If Miles beats Tressel, that'll be 7. He may not be as dumb as people think...

Stoops: 2-2 against OU while at OkState. Meh.
Coker: Beat Coker's 2005 Miami team that was in the beginning of their collapse. So-so.
Spurrier: Beat 6-6 South Carolina by 12 at home this year. Not impressed.
Saban: Beat 6-6 Alabama by 7 points on the road. Not impressed.
Fulmer: 2-1 against fat boy, all three games close.
Meyer: 2-1 against Meyer, with both wins coming at home by 4 points.
At first glance, "conquering 6 Crystal Trophy-winning coaches" appears impressive, but upon further review...

The late Sal Aunese's kid is a walk-on QB for "The Hat", who recruited Sal to Colorado, where he dated Head Coach Bill McCartney's daughter.

All in the family: Miles coaches son of late QB recruit
BATON ROUGE ? Colorado football coach Bill McCartney was on the couch with his wife, Lyndi, watching college football on a Saturday night. "We'd played that day, and after a game I was always very drained," he recalls.
This was the fall of 1988 in Boulder, Colo. McCartney does not remember the foe for his Colorado Buffaloes that day, but he remembers what happened next. His 19-year-old daughter, Kristy, a student at Colorado, came to visit.
"She came up behind me and put one hand on my shoulder and her other hand on my wife's shoulder and said, 'Dad, I'm pregnant,' " McCartney says. "We just got up. We both hugged her and told her we loved her."
That was only the first shock.
"Then she said the father is Sal, which came as a complete surprise," McCartney says. "I did not know he was dating my daughter."
Sal Aunese, 20, was Colorado's junior starting quarterback.
"Had I known he was interested in her, I would've asked his intentions," says McCartney, who two years later founded the Christian organization Promise Keepers for men.
McCartney's first reaction was not rage toward Aunese, a star out of Vista High in Oceanside, Calif., whom a Colorado assistant named Les Miles beat out Nebraska to sign in 1986.
"I never felt any anger toward Sal," McCartney says. "How could you say it was his fault? She was there, too. They did this together. I didn't blame Sal."
Aunese died Sept. 23, 1989, of a rare form of stomach cancer at 21. Kristy was at the packed memorial service with a 5-month-old boy she named Timothy Chase, or T.C., McCartney.
McCartney spoke at the service, looked at his daughter and said, "Kristy McCartney, you've been a trouper. ? You're going to raise that little guy, and all of us are going to have an opportunity to watch him."
Kristy moved next door to her father, who retired after the 1994 season at 54 and raised T.C. as his own.
That "little guy" is 18 now and a freshman walk-on quarterback at LSU. He will be in uniform Jan. 7 when No. 2 LSU meets No. 1 Ohio State in the BCS title game in New Orleans. The Colorado assistant who signed his father is now his head coach.
Cont'd ...

Actually, No. It is a reference that the poster that made the Saban's players comment obviously does not know anything about LSU football.

Seriously, "The Hat" is a really lame nickname.
