BCS LOW LOW LOW Ratings

Found January 10, 2012 on NorthWest Sports Beat: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Nick Saban,  Les Miles
TEAMS: Alabama Crimson Tide,  LSU Tigers

Defense may win championships, but NOT TV ratings.

Alabama's national championship win drew the lowest television ratings in the BCS' 14-year history.

An overnight rating of 13.8.

That was a dip from the previous all-time low, a 14.3 rating set in 2002 by Miami and Nebraska.

Now can we finally get our playoff system or a +1 or something? PLEASE BCS PLEASE?

Nick Saban & Les Miles, thanks for putting on such a great show.

I heard LSU was still in the Superdome today trying to score on their Demons. BRUTAL.

Hey it is afterall NAWLINS...

Les Miles Wins Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award

Via Sports Report 360  |  January 09, 2012
LSU coach Les Miles has already come out a winner before the BCS championship game. According to the AP, Miles won the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year award after leading his top-ranked Tigers to a perfect regular-season record and an SEC championship.

The spoils of victory? For Les Miles, about $5.7 million.

Via Dr. Saturday  |  January 09, 2012
An LSU win over Alabama in tonight's BCS Championship Game would trigger two different clauses in Les Miles' contract that would increase his salary over the next six years, potentially making him the highest paid coach in the SEC and pushing to the brink of the $5 Million Club. Miles is currently the fourth-highest paid coach in the country at $3.75 million per year, not...

Miles misses out on pay boost with loss (AP)

Via Rivals.com  |  January 10, 2012
Les Miles wound up one victory short of a hefty pay raise. The LSU coach already has a lucrative contract that pays him about $3.75 million a year and that runs through the 2017 season, thanks to a three-year extension he received last January. Clearly, he won't be hurting for cash. But he did miss out on a salary increase of nearly $1 million.

"They are a hateful bunch." That is Nick Saban describing his defense.

There's No Doubt Who's No. 1: Alabama Is National Champions

 When the final whistle blew back on November 5 ending the first LSU-Alabama showdown, I couldn’t help but get one nauseating, gut-wrenching, pit out of my stomach. No, it had nothing to do with the Mexican food I'd eaten earlier that night, but instead was the idea that I’d seen the best team in college football that night… and seen them lose. Above all, I couldnâ...
