And, on that point, the Mad Hatter isn’t exactly wrong.
Les Miles is the former head coach at LSU, while Steve Spurrier held the same job at his alma mater Florida. With the Gators and Tigers squaring off this weekend in The Swamp, the two former coaches got together on social media earlier this week to place a wager on the game -- Miles will have to wear a visor if the Gators win, while Spurrier would have to eat grass if the Tigers win.
Hey @SteveSpurrierUF… how much you wanna bet your Gators are going down this weekend? #GameOn

.@CoachLesMiles shoot, we’re going to win on Saturday. If we don’t, I’ll eat some of that grass of yours. When we do win, you’re wearing my visor! #GoGators https://t.co/6asGecE37v

Wednesday night, Miles addressed the bet with his own unique flair.
“I like my chances with that bet,” Miles said. “I wouldn’t have made the bet if I didn’t, because I never liked visors. It’s half a hat.”
The fifth-ranked Tigers are roughly a field goal road favorite over the Gators, who have lost four of the last five games to the SEC West school.
