"But make no mistake, Price both wants and needs to win now. The pressure is there -- in Price's case, most of it internal. But if he is honest with himself, it isn't just a desire to compete and win, it's a race against the clock -- both his own at age 64, and the one attached to a doomsday device called Apathy."

There is an old saying that goes, "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me."  For the second time in three years Les Miles has gotten into bed with Michigan just to tell them thanks but no thanks.  The 'Mad Hatter' of Baton Rouge is a hard one to figure.
