The wild Big 12 gets even more fun with Les Miles' return

On Sunday, arguably the country's most entertaining conference, heavy on high-flying offenses, electric quarterbacks and dramatic last-second finishes -- and yes, light on defense -- added back one of the most of the entertaining figures from its past.

Les Miles has returned to the Big 12.

And with the man they call The Hat at Kansas, the Jayhawks will "play any sucker in this country." And, of course, won't be afraid to "let 'er rip."

In the first head coaching job of his career, Miles stayed at Oklahoma State for just four seasons, from 2001-2004. And yet before leaving for LSU, Miles constantly generated quotable phrases, upset Oklahoma twice and even traded verbal jabs with Bob Stoops.
