Les was fired until he beat A&M this past year. The game against us means so much, that y'all unfired your coach

I realize this is the only ammunition Aggy has against LSU for the time being, but it's pretty pathetic. Les was possibly going to be fired, but the leaks to the press and the outpouring of support for him by the fans is what kept him from getting fired. Of course, no one knew going into the game or even as it ended that he was going to be retained, so a lot of people, even including some people who wanted him fired, showed their appreciation for his accomplishments and his players carried him off the field as a show of respect and admiration, all because they thought it might be his last game in Tiger Stadium. That would have happened no matter who the opponent was.

Texas A&M was relevant to that situation the same way a turkey is relevant to Thanksgiving. It's just the meal for the occasion and any random turkey would serve the purpose just as well an any other. Aggy was a random turkey, nothing more.
