Wednesday with a new era starting for LSU fotball

Good Wednesday morning to all on a day that kind of starts a new era in LSU football.

With Les Miles spurning Michigan for a second time and likely getting a contract extension, that means he is the Tigers’ coach for the long haul. Not bad after some early-season angst among the fans on the heels of the weird ending against Tennessee.

Anyway, check out our full package on Miles’ decision, including the main story and column from Scott Rabalais, a reaction from a couple of players, Sheldon Mickles’ story from Kathy Miles’ perspective and Scott Hotard’s piece on how some of the ballyhooed recruits on the way reacted. Mentioned this last night, but a couple of stories we're hoping to flesh out today as well: Gary Crowton may be headed to Maryland and Stevan Ridley is likely headed to the NFL. Also, tickets are on sale for the Tigers' 2011 season opener against Oregon in Arlington, Texas.

Some opposing views as well, including the story from the Detroit News about Michigan getting its man – Brady Hoke, who also got a thumbs up from Miles. And Detroit Free-Press columnist Michael Rosenberg opines that UM never wanted Les Miles, to which I call … well, you get the point.
