HOOVER, Ala. — Maybe it was simply the end of a long week for reporters, or perhaps it’s that no one’s quite sure what to make of this year’s team, but Thursday ended up being a pretty low-key day for LSU coach Les Miles.
That’s not to say his appearance at SEC media days wasn’t a little unusual—they all are when it comes to Miles—yet it was anything but typical for the Tigers.
There was little or no buzz. The ballot for preseason All-SEC selections wasn’t overflowing with Tigers. The few LSU fans in the lobby of the Wynfrey Hotel were easily outnumbered by those from Georgia and Ole Miss.
