LSU Football - Lafell Blindside Hit
45 to Zip..
Ugggly...yet effective.
LSU, know matter who coaches..owns Miss. State.
They say a team improves best between game 1 and game 2.... I look for the offense to improve...say... pick Murphy or Williams as the starting tailback, stop the false start stuff and throw more to Tolliver. Defense.. come on Steltz..you only can manage 3 interceptions..I look for some improvement there.
Seriously... the defense is fantabulous.... 7 turnovers..... some of the DBs have better hands than our recievers....
Special Teams....back to special...and the punt ugly formation seemed to work just fine.
Geaux Tigers.... BRING ON TECH!!!!

Tigers Rules to Live By...
You've no doubt seen these...
in the event you have not... please read...and OBEY!
1. Never schedule anything important on a day LSU is scheduled to play football.
There are typically 353 other days of the year to do those things on. Choose one of them!
2. Never attend a wedding during a LSU football game unless you carry a TV... and watch it during the ceremony and reception. Also don't forget to register the wedding on fallweddingssuck.com!
3. It is against the rules to not wear purple and gold on ANY game day. More points go to those wearing football jerseys, hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, pants, boxers, jewelry, and jackets, preferably all at the same time. Good old purple and gold always works especially if it's old school stuff from your LSU days. Anything else is always gay.
4. Always and I mean ALWAYS, return any "GEAUX" with a hearty "TIGERS!" This is true even during funerals, sex, in foreign countries or when witnessing the birth of your child.
5. Every vehicle you see while driving that contains an Ole Miss or Alabama sticker should be honked at then flipped off. To be on the safe side, do this to every car with a Mississippi or Alabama license plate.6. When Florida plays Auburn, it is mandatory to despise both teams. There are no winners.
7. You cannot have a second favorite football team behind LSU. You are only permitted to have another team that you hate the least.
8. It is OK to be emotional (and even "tear" up) during the following:
First beer of the first tailgate of the season
Your child's first LSU game
When the band plays the Alma Mater, Hey Fighting Tiger, Hey Baby, or Touchdown for LSU!
When you hear "THE GOLDEN BAND FROM TIGERLAND!!"
Watching the sun rise after a night game in Tiger Stadium
Anytime anyone mentions Brady Quinn and 23rd pick or USC and loss in the same sentence.
LSU winning the National Championship
9. Always take off your hat during the Alma Mater and physically remove the hats of anyone in your vicinity who fails to do so.
10. Tailgating is mandatory. And by tailgating, you must be drinking beer before 6:00 AM . This includes both home and away games.
11. When you die, you must have at least one item of LSU memorabilia with you. (Specify which one in your will, that way your spouse won't pick something stupid).
12. Your children should be taught to let you know when they "have to take a War Eagle" to then flush it around the bowl and down the hole "Roll Tide Roll."
13. You are forbidden to fall for the National Media crap sandwich that Bear Bryant was a "good guy." In reality, he was a bitter old man, a cheater and referee-baiter. The program's credibility went south forever when Bama hired Nick Saban to resurrect their sorry football program.
14. Recruiting must be followed as intensely as any game. This is true even if it puts your job/career at risk.
15. Attend the Spring Game. It makes it easier to survive the summer.
16. Try to never boo a former or current LSU football player who is playing in the NFL. But as always you can boo any player who once played against LSU with all of your might. (ie, Rex Grossman)
17. Correct anyone who doesn't refer to LSU as "THE" only real university in Louisiana.
18. ESPN employees must be verbally taunted at every opportunity. Note: Lou Holtz still thinks Notre Dame was better than LSU in the 2007 Sugar Bowl.
19. Hang a LSU flag outside of your house every day. If any of your neighbors counter this with a Florida/Ole Miss flag, it is your solemn duty to tear it down and deface it anyway you see fit.
20. It is important to consider the "good old days" ARE NOW. Enjoy them!!!!!
And Geaux Tigers!!!!!!

It's Gameday...by Jill....
Shut up. It’s time to play Football.
The roar is almost deafening
The message is crystal clear
It’s the sound of the highest expectations
For a National Championship year
No longer are we underrated
We can not cry “No Respect!”
We’re starting this time at the top
With a ranking we have to protect
The usual suspects await us
And some all-too-familiar new foes
The SEC is college football’s minefield
Only the very best will survive the blows
This year the offense is Crowton’s
And its show time for Flynn and Doucet
Dorsey and Jackson lead Pelini’s defense
With a crushing speed you will not forget
The first victim is a young guy named Henig
Who says he is not so impressed
When he meets Mr. Dorsey and company
He’ll most likely be rather distressed
Who wants to wait for a Saturday?
Why don’t we play Thursday instead?
Go ahead and call in sick Friday morning
When you just can’t quite get out of bed
Tired of waiting? It is over
Ready for football? It is here
Want another Championship? Great timing
‘Cause Tiger Fans, this is our year
GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!

RANT TIME.... Mississippi State....2007
ah yes Tiger fans... that long summer is gone.....Live Earth has saved our planet, Mike Vick saved himself kinda, baseball has been excrutiangly dull, the internet is still filled with Auburn idiots recirculating the Nebraska corn dog story and replacing "Nebraska" with "LSU"..very funny auburnites...not an original thought there...Bama is on track for the trainwreck......and we've all watched every replay of last years Tigers that Cox sports has shown us.....
The long Wait is over....one game at a time.... this weeks game......
Tiger Bait #1 - Mistake State - August 3oth - THE DOOM OF CROOM
Here we go... #2 LSU vs. #_ _ 2 Miss State. Many questions will be answered on a hot steamy thursday not in lovely Starkpatch Mississippi...the town where the girls are scarce and cows are scared........
History -
Series Record LSU leads - 64-33-3 (doesn't tell the whole story....of the last 22 games...LSU has won 18)
MISHIPPI SHTATE
Entering his fourth season as the Head Coach one Sylvester Croom...the media darling everyone loves him ....wants him to succeed...but at 9-25 looks to be the State version of Curley Hallman (both have Bama coaching heritage so perhaps that explains alot). So Jackie (The man with two girl's names) Sherrill, didn't leave him much...but this is year #4).....What has Sly done??? beaten Ron Zook and Mike Shula (hey they don't coach in the SEC anymore).....
Sly will have his team prepped and ready.. ...ready for their yearly pummeling.
Top returning player - Derrick Pegues - DB ....don't know of any other stars exist on that squad however.
Starkpatch stadium - Seats 55K - wow...that's like Ole Misery's"stadium"...think Shreveport... just no casino's, watering holes or culture....
explore more if you're really bored ..... http://www.mstateathletics.com/
L. S. U.
You know the drill.... Les Miles returns for season #3 and the expectations are out of this world... just what we want... you want to relive the low expectations of DinardoHallmanArcher again??? Heck no. NO!!
Gone are Jamarcus, Bowe, Davis, Jackson, Alley B, and Laron...... but not to fret... Flynn, Early, and three full starting Defensive lines will make you forget them quick (well something like that)
Gone is our favorite love him hate him OC - Jimbo Fischer. I must say it's gonna be nice hot having the opposing team know our plays, signals and our slobbernockered fans knowing exactly what plays were are going to run....up the middle, up the middle, pass...punt...
Enter Gary Crowton as OC.... not to Shabby a hire Les!!!.... Crowton's offense will take advantage of something called SPEED...you know ...the stuff Jimbo never used until 3rd down...it'll be interesting...just watch... trust me...
DEFENSE!! DEFENSE!!! - What can I say that you don't already know?? Not much... Pelini's boys will no doubt score more points than Miss. State's D. Look for alot of scoring and ball snatching by this years defense.
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN?????.....
Harder for Al to forecast a game one, thursday SEC opener on ESPN... but we all know what's gonna happen... Lot's of scoring by the Tigers.... Trindon's gonna be blazing fast, Flynn's gonna throw the ball quickly to the Hester, Williams, Murphy, Early and LaFell... they'll take it from there... funny thing in sports... a 5 yard pass that has 50 yards of run after the catch counts the same as a 55 yard pass and catch..... so on paper... Flynn will look like Jamarcus...(just with a little assistance by the recievers). Glenn Dorsey, K. Pittman and Tyson Jackson will keep Miss. State going in reverse.... 22K LSU fans will drown out the hostile cowbell crowd and leave the home team silent and heading for the exits by the start of the third quarter...Look for a spectacular punt return by Chad Jones.... (freshman...big things for him in the future...)
Same result ...different year.... Croom gets loss #26....
Fear the Hat!!! gets Win #23.... and the #2 Tigers look worthy of their pub....
LSU 49
Miss State 3
GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!
Roscoe...uh...Mike VI has arrived..
Statement from Dr. David Baker, LSU Director of Laboratory Animal Medicine and Mike the Tiger's primary veterinarian (from TAF website)
I am happy to confirm the arrival of a juvenile tiger to the LSU campus. In July, after an extensive search, a tiger suitable to become Mike VI was located and preparations begun for his move to LSU. “Roscoe” was donated by Great Cats of Indiana, a nonprofit large cat rescue facility wholly dependent on contributions from the public. He was born on July 23, 2005 at the Great Cats facility as a result of unintended breeding. Because of a shortage of housing at Great Cats, it was essential that an alternative home be found for him. He is a magnificent animal. I estimate his current weight at between 250-300 pounds. While he has been on campus less than 48 hours I can tell you that he has exceeded my expectations in every possible manner. Not only is he very handsome, with markings unlike any tiger we have ever had, but his personality is remarkable. He is extremely confident, interactive, inquisitive, and friendly toward people. He appears to already be forming a relationship with his student caretakers and seems most content when they are with him.
The loading, transport, and unloading of Roscoe was executed flawlessly, thanks to the tremendous help provided by our many friends within the community and campus. I would first and foremost like to acknowledge Great Cats of Indiana not only for their gift of the tiger, but also for the excellent care they provided to him. His condition and that of their other large cats is remarkable, especially considering their meager level of support. It is obvious from Roscoe’s appearance and behavior that he was hand-raised by compassionate professionals. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance of Louisiana Aircraft Inc., who flew us to Indiana on our exploratory trip, and who assisted us with other details. Next I would like to acknowledge Mike Gerald and “Big Country” Bobby Wascom of MG Trailer Depot, who on very short notice, fabricated a perfect transport crate which allowed us to transport Roscoe without the use of sedation. I would also like to acknowledge the generous contribution of Richard Zuschlag and the excellent services provided by Chief Pilot Spencer Anderson and the entire staff at Acadian Ambulance, who donated the airplane used to transport Roscoe, even modifying the airplane for our use. I cannot overstate the degree to which the tiger’s stress level was reduced by a 3 hour flight versus a 16 hour road trip. In addition, I’d like to acknowledge the help of several others who contributed to the success of their effort, including our good friend Dr. Gordon Pirie of the Baton Rouge Zoo, and my coworkers Dr. Rhett Stout, John London, Eric Peck, and Rick Ramsey. Lastly, I’d like to thank the TAF, Athletic Department, LSU Police, and the campus administration

That cake...
By now you've probably seen the cake.... well if you haven't maybe I can forward one of the 80 or so versions of the email to you.... cool cake you might say... yeah... but in typical rant fashion..let's disect this delictable concoction......
Look at the visitor’s section. Must be playing Tennessee!
That’s Auburn…check the scoreboard!!!!!!! Only thing the visitor section only goes about half up there. I’m above that. If that was correct........ I’d be surrounded by Auburn fans that for some reason are wearing Tenn colors… of course they stole LSU’s Mascot…so it would make sense that they’d take Tenn’s colors.
And I thought I had an eye for detail!
Oh yeah!!!! Well it's WRONG!!! The goal posts are the standard regulation goal posts. LSU doesn’t have those. LSU has an old style “H” goal post not a “T”. It’s thru these that the #2 ranked team in the country will run through in a couple of weeks.
If you're gonna make a hitchin' (groom version) cake with a Tiger Stadium theme get the thing right!
AND WHERE'S THE 1958 and the 2003 Championship Flags???!!!!

PATHETIC = Ole Miss
A little revisionist history by dem Webels ..... 2003 SEC West Champs??? Okay ole miss... you were perhaps an Eli trip away from something... but he tripped. Not even co-champs...you think you're champs??? Pathetic.
Ole Miss - no championships of any kind since the Kennedy Administration
Ole Miss - Only SEC Team never to have played in the SEC Championship Game
Hate 'em.

3 weeks.....
3 weeks and some change til football season begins. Tiger Football season that is. The only season that really matters. Uncharted territory here people... preseason ranked #2. Returning the best defense in the land and a talented untested and unpredictable offense. I for one am pumped about new offensive coordinator Gary Crowton. So Crowton didn't turn out to be the best head coach in his stint at BYU, but his offenses have always produced the points at BYU, La. Tech, Da Bearsss, and Oregon (home of the most hideous uniforms ever to grace the gridiron).
FEAR THE HAT!
