Irving, Texas - Growing up in Elyria, Ohio in the 50's and 60's made LSU Coach Les Miles quite a Cleveland Browns fan, and therefore, a Jim Brown fan.
Miles made his adoration public at the Thursday Big Play luncheon associated with the AT&T Cotton Bowl in which LSU will play Texas A&M Friday. Brown, the Cleveland Brows legendary running back whose Syracuse team lost to TCU in the 1957 Cotton Bowl, will execute the pre-game coin flip Friday.
Brown was in the audience at the luncheon. Speaking from the podium, Miles recalled being allowed on the field after a Browns game and encountering Brown.
"I got a chance to touch you," he said. "Do you remember?"
When Brown nodded in acknowledgement, Miles said, "I knew you did."
Afterward, Brown was touched in a different way.
"It was sort of flattering and funny at the same time," he told the Dallas Morning News. "He came up afterwards and we had a few words, which I think was very respectful."
