Dear Les Miles and LSU: Thank You for Proving Us Right...Again!

I took my second trip to Gainesville over the weekend. I needed a breather from all the anarchy of dealing with ex-wives and ex-girlfriends, so I decided that it was time to catch a good football game.

Upon further review, I have come to this conclusion—but I decided that Les Miles should hear it first. So I asked my son to come in and help me with my letter to the "Black 'N Bayou" Bengals.

Dear Coach Miles:

We would like to say thank you for showing us that you guys were all talk and no action. We thank you for proving all the so-called experts wrong yet again. We know how dangerous we are, and we know how dangerous our conference is.

In fact, all week we heard about how you guys were going to just squeak by us en route to yet another SEC Championship.

Then you actually played the game...and boy, were you guys so overmatched. I'll let my dad explain this one.

Every year, I tell everyone within eyesight or earshot that Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field, aka "Da Swamp," is a very dangerous place to play. Every year, opposing teams are greeted by fans who are frothing at the mouth with their eyes rolling in the back of their head.

That's not insanity. That's just Florida Football.

I spend every year watching teams come in believing that they have what it takes to survive the assault that is forthcoming from guys like Doug Johnson, Terry Dean, Danny Wuerffel, Chris Leak, and lately Tim Tebow. I watched as Fred Taylor ran all over Florida State and Percy Harvin ran all over Tennessee.

This past weekend, I watched as the almighty LSU defense came up short against the now potent offense of Florida. I also watched as the weakness of LSU was not only exposed, but savaged by the Gators D.

I watched all this...then I smiled as the clock began to wind down. I watched as we began chants of "overrated" in the student section. I watched as a very attractive Tiger fan shed tears of sorrow two seats from me. I watched as people who usually didn't like each other hoisted their drinks and celebrated as Florida stunned LSU.

You said you weren't too worried about Florida. You should have been.

Your defense said they were going to rip Tebow's head off. They failed.

Everyone picked LSU to run over Florida due in large part to what Ole Miss did to us two weeks before. But Arkansas couldn't stop us—and neither could you. Your quarterback couldn't keep up with Tebow. Your dangerous receivers couldn't get open enough to keep you in the game.

In truth, this game was over by halftime...we just went through the motions.

We all know what was at stake in this game. The winner would most likely play in the SEC Championship Game and possibly get a bid in the BCS Championship Game. Florida has moved back into the Top Five.

With Mizzou and Oklahoma losing as well, all you had to do was win. But you didn't.

You had the No. 1 spot handed to you on a silver platter by Oklahoma. All you had to do was win. You could have silenced the critics by beating Florida and taking No. 1 from Texas, Missouri, and Alabama.

But unfortunately, you couldn't quite get in sync—and Florida made it easier for Kentucky and Vandy to pick up the pieces.

So Coach Miles, I hoped you learned a lesson from your recent trip to Da Swamp. The biggest lesson: Don't think that just because you did it once that you'll do it again. Of course, there will be people that will say that it was all a fluke, and Florida will fall from the top.

If it is true that pride comes before a fall, this has to be yours, Les.

But until the thoughts are put to bed, you got to get ready for South Carolina, Georgia, and Tulane before an old friend comes to town to put his No. 2 spot on the line. And trust me when I say this: None of those teams are going to feel sympathetic about your current state of shock.

So how does it feel to know that after losing to Urban Meyer, you have to deal with Steve Spurrier the very next week?

How does it feel to know that you went into Florida expecting a win and got killed for your troubles?

Simply put, LSU, you lost 51-21 in Da Swamp to a team that is determined to become National Champions once again. How Do You Like Dem Apples?

By the way, my son has a message if you're an LSU fan and don't like this letter:

"SORRY ABOUT YOUR DAMN LUCK!"

With Gator Regards,

Ron and Quincy Johnson
