UGA Derails the Saban train...

TD UGA!!!
UGA Does the Victory Dance......

How many bottled you think were thrown at that thing saturday night?

Hey Nick... which player did you blame for the loss this time?

LSU Football - Colt David Scores on a Fake FG

Most excellent. Stadium groaned as the Tigers lined up for the 'kick'

28-16!!

Your Jedi Skills are weak old man. Miles is the now the master.

Take that Steve.

It's Gameday by Jill...

mmm…tastes like chicken!

Once upon a time
In a land not so far away
The Visor stalked the sidelines
And there was a heavy price to pay

My how things have changed
There’s a new sheriff in town
This time he wears purple and gold
And he’s taking everyone down

Three dominating performances
With only one questionable score
The Tiger defense is a force
That no one can ignore

So the ole ball coach is undefeated
Yep, that’s coming to a halt
Stevie’s weak offense
Can’t handle the assault

Speaking of offense
It’s going to be an assault on the ground
Once Keiland powers through
There won’t be anyone else around

It’s funny how Bob Stoops is still crying
Hey Bob, we didn’t need to cheat
And if you can manage to meet us again in New Orleans
Your old friend Les will be happy to repeat

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!

BEAT THE 'COCKS!! - RANT

This week's bait... The GAMECOCKS. Led by the Evil One himself.

Day game... so what. It's 2:30...You're used to watching the CBS game during the tailgate aren't you? well just have a little bit more intensified prep during the JP Game and you'll be fine.

GAMECOCKS

Hokie's kinda just without the offense or the defense. Led by Steve Spurrier ..record 18-0 in his third year in Columbia. QB - Blake Mitchell...think of him as a equal to the Miss St. guy and the guy at Va. Tech. Defense strangely enough is Spurrier's forte this year. This team is great against the pass.... 6th in the nation ...but they are weak against the run.... they allowed U-L of L 21 points and struggled into the 4th quarter. The same ULL that lost to Div-1AA McNeese last week. ....curious yup...

http://www.uscsports.net/

(note ..this is not the USC of Petey and Booty....but if it makes your game prep easier...imagine that it is)

TIGERS

Miles, Crowton and Pelini....well they have a plan.....

All you need to know is the numbers ....

128.33 - total yards allowed by the Tiger D per game this year.

7 - number of rushing yards by MTSU last week

5 - Keiland Williams.... this will be his breakout game

15 - Matt Flynn will be back after a getting a little rest last week

6 - Mike VI makes his Tiger Stadium Debut

92,400 - Tiger Stadium...there's no place like home

60% - chance of rain outside the stadium....remember it never rains in Tiger Stadium

2:30 - Kickoff.... bring your A-Game. Apply yourself. Be your best. Blow a vocal chord or two.

STATS

http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/2007/Internet/ranking_summary/2007000000365.HTML

PREDICTION

So Early will be a late season addition to the offense this season..don't fret... LES has a plan. LaFell, Byrd, Flynn, Hester, Williams, even a little Holliday.... Defense finally scores... and twice as a matter of fact...great work Steltz!!!

LSU 38

Meanwhile.....

NOTRE DAME HAS NOT SCORED A TOUCHDOWN SINCE THE 2nd QUARTER OF THE SUGAR BOWL!



Gettin' a little hot under the collar aren't Mr. Weiss???

44-0

Les must have a record for 40+ point wins as a coach.

Defense wins championships. .. Allowing 127 yards offense by 3 opponents and 2.33 point per game... that's phenomenal.

RP is the real deal.

Next up Steve Superior and the Cocks .... at 2:30 on CBS.... hey just think of it as an early night game.

Hey Bye the WAY.... AUBURN IS 1-2

A Longhorn's Perspective...

A post from Sporting news BB.

The common denominator.............?? "I live in Texas and am a diehard Longhorn fan. Do we have a shot at the National Title ? Not a chance , we are not good enough this year . So this is my unbiased opinons on who are the real POWER HOUSES in college football this year. USC and LSU are head and shoulders above every one else. It is unfortunate that Oklahoma happens to be very good during a season when LSU and USC are just awesome. LSU and USC will play for the BCS National Championship in the Sugar Bowl this year. In regards to the coaching controversy. Prior to joining LSU, Nick Saban`s overall record at Michigan State was 43-26-1, no Conferance Titles, no National Titles during a five year period. During five years at LSU, his record was 48-16, SEC Conference titles in 2001 and 2003, and a BCS National Title in 2003. So did Saban make LSU good ? Not hardly, LSU made Saban look great. Nick Saban even admitted, the biggest mistake he ever made was leaving LSU. If Saban is God`s gift to football why didn`t he have the same results at Michigan State and Miami? I think that the only results that Bama is going to get for their $4 Mil/yr is the same results that Michigan State got. NOTHING. Enter Les Miles, his four year record at Oklahoma State prior to joining LSU, 28-21 overall 16-16 in conference play. His record was even worst than Nick Saban`s. Les Miles record at LSU after 2 full seasons and 2weeks into this season, 24-4 overall 14-4 in conference. And there is a very good chance that LSU will win the SEC and the BCS National Title this year. Are we starting to see a pattern here?Is Les Miles making LSU good? Not hardly,LSU is making Miles look a lot better than he really is. If Les Miles is so great, why was he just average at best when coaching Oklahoma State. From the time Saban left LSU his professional and personal life has gone downhill. Pete Carroll is a great coach.........as long as he stays at USC. It will be interesting to see at the end of this year if Les Miles is as smart as Pete Carroll or as dumb as Nick Saban. "

Mid Tenn State Rant..

What is that thing!!???????!!!!!

You don't think I'd let the rent-a-win slide with no rant did ya?

The only chance MTSU had besides the mascot scaring the heck out of our team, fans, small animals, (Mike VI Fears No One) and the Golden Girls was Hurricane Humberto..and well that one's gone. The Tigers will treat this team like the TRUE #1 team in country should...like a champion...and pummel them.

Why?...because LSU needs to continue the domination one and game at a time.
Why? ...because that mascot annoys me
Why? ... because they are this week's TigerBait
Why?.... because they are Sunbelt Conference....
Why?.....because Nebraska's gonna beat USC and we need some style points!!!

This Week's Bait..da Blue Raiders...(Zero - 2)

http://www.goblueraiders.com/

Coached by Rick Stockstill (7-6 record). Located in Murfreesboro Tenn. Home stadium..Johnny Red Floyd Horace Jones Field (seating for 30K...filled by 3K normally)...wow.... named after everyone in town. They scored a bazillion points against Louisville in quite the defensive struggle and lost to Florida Atlantic. I have no idea who plays for them. Does it matter? LSUal...say..nope.

YOUR LSU TIGERS!!!

Well what can I say...only weekness I see is that we fair catch on every punt. ...and the opposition punts alot. Flynn is banged up an we may see more of Ryan P. ... gotta be scared if you are a blue raider.

Tiger Band - Solid!!
Golden Girls - Lookin...well sharp!
Defense - Fantabulous. Pelini rules!! I don't think anyone on MTSU is predicting a pancake of Glen Dorsey this week either.
Offense - Crowton is a genious (Free Jimbo ... funny how a third coach is oppressing his abilities...give me a break). Great Hire Fear Les Miles!!! Great Hire!!!
Special Teams - Special. Patrick Fisher can kick that porkskin!! Punt Ugly worked flawlessly against Beamer Ball...I'm sold on it.

What's gonna happen..

LSU is not Louisville. Tigers are better on offense and have this interesting concept... DEFENSE!!!! Vegas says Tigers by 40.5

RP looks impressive,Early scores early and often, Hester breaks and 80 yard run...yep you read that right. Steltz finally runs back and INT for a TD....

LSU 56

Blue Raiders (look like the Oakland Raiders) 3

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!

It's Gameday by Jill....

#1 here we come…



Did you watch in awe and amazement?

Or in utter disbelief?

Do you feel a lot more excitement?

Along with complete and total relief?



Thinking you need to pinch yourself?

Go ahead. The Tigers are really that good

They shut down the “#1 defense”

Like only the true #1 defense could



What’s a quarterback controversy?
You’re not going to find one here

The dynamic duo of Flynn and Perrilloux

Makes for yards and yards of good cheer



Looking for some playmakers?

Let’s talk about Brandon LaFell

He’s a fantastic compliment to Doucet

And, oh yeah, he can also block pretty well



Are you loving all the media attention?

This time we’re a part of “The Game They Want to See”

I think I’ve heard the chant somewhere before…

L-S-U! U-S-C! Oklahoma number three!



So who do we humiliate this weekend?

Let’s give a warm Tiger Stadium welcome to middle Tennessee state

They can take their check along with their beating

And we thank them for being Tiger Bait





GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!

Tailgating with Punkin the Tiger Kitty

nice effort.

Hey bye the way....

Auburn is 1 and 1

Losing to South Florida... Priceless.

Yikes...it's a SunBelt Mascot again...

..that thing looks as bad as that pepper mascot by that other sunbelt school...

Here's a few words from MTSU's presser today...

What do you have to do to control tackle Glenn Dorsey?
"For one thing you can't say you are going to pancake him with one player like the player from Virginia Tech said. (Dorsey) is really good and one guy can't stop him. We had to do a good job of keeping him from penetration. I don't think we have one person on our team who can block him in a 1-on-1 battle."

What do you see as the biggest key, offensively, against LSU? "For us the big thing against LSU is we have to be productive on first down. They are too good and too talented and they make it even more difficult when you get behind the chains in long-yardage situations."

Early Doucet has not had many return opportunities but what concerns does he present?
"I think he is really good and we will have a plan from a kicking standpoint on how we are going to handle that. Most people are kicking away from him or kicking it out of bounds. Their team is so talented you can't say we have to stop this guy or that guy because they are loaded with first and second round picks on offense and defense."

Do you think LSU is the No. 1 team in the country?
"I voted for them No. 1. They are very talented, have a ton of depth, a physical offense and a physical defense. I think they are playing as good as anybody if they can stay healthy."

The Shaq Mafia sighting from Saturday....

Interesting Ride there Mr. O'Neal.

Krewe de Tailgate..Game 1 - Va Tech Tailgate

Game 1... great find by Mr. Tyler on ebay... the concoction machine 2007...

Hokie Fans

Here's to you hokie fans... looks like you enjoyed the jello shots alot more than the game. Now go tell the Clemson fans what the real DEATH VALLEY is like!!!

STATEMENT GAME

Wow!! What can I say.... Who's #2???

More like.. Who's #1.

That my friends was beyond even my optimistic projections. That was a skulldragging of mythical proportions.

GEAUX TIGERS!!

excellent ESPN assessment..

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=3011241&sportCat=ncf

BULLETIN BOARD MATERIAL ALERT!!

As if LSU needed any bulletin board material for Saturday night here's VA Tech RG Sergio Render providing some by dissing Glen Dorsey in a Virginia newspaper. "I feel like if I get my hands on Dorsey, I can put him on the ground," Render said. He's human just like me. I can't wait. I hope he's lined up on me in the beginning of the game, so I can show him what I can do. Anybody can be pancaked." Hey Senor Sergio.......good luck with all that...dont' you know that Glenn Dorsey is a superhuman... a TIGER if you will.

It's Gameday by Jill....

So many Vick jokes, so little time…


It was a superb start with 45-0 shutout
Of our fine old friends at State
For those of you that thought the Tigers looked sloppy
Did you catch Saturday’s full slate?

The much vaunted turkeys struggled
Texas barely squeaked by with a win
Michigan really enjoyed their rent a loss
And the aubies needed help from the refs…again

Gameday is back in Tiger Town
For the clash of two in the top ten
We’ll be dishing up some late evening fried turkey
For the ever admiring folks of ESPN

There’s nothing like a late night in Tiger Stadium
When the crowd’s had an extra hour to juice
We’re very proud of our tailgating hospitality,
But also of our own special brand of abuse

Five long years in the making
There will be no backing out now
Hey Glennon do you know how to make pancakes?
Glen Dorsey will be happy to show you how

A game under their belt and a week’s worth of practice
Crowton will have the offensive machine humming
With Hester, Keiland, Scott and Trindon
That ACC caliber defense will never see what’s coming

So grab your hardhat, hokies
Don’t forget that silly lunch pail
You’re in Baton Rouge. This is Tiger Stadium.
We are LSU, and We Will Prevail

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hook the Hokie's...

Moment of Silence........

lsual and the Krewe of Tailgate expresses our deepest sympathies for the Tragedy that occured on the Va. Tech Campus back in April. (A moment of silence please)

Life goes on....


Back to Football. Tennuhcee didn't take mercy on the Tigers after Katrina..life went on....it's time to play football....


Five years we've waited to face the Castrated Turkey's in the confines of Tiger Stadium. Here it is. ESPN Gameday, ESPN 8:15 kickoff. Pandamonium will ensue.


#2 LSU vs. #9 Va. Tech.

Tigers vs. Turkey/Chicken Castrated Turkey Fighting Gobbler Gobble Thing

Fear Les Miles vs. Frank "Beamerball" Beamer and Quatto

(Quatto you may ask? Al..what the hell is a Quatto...well....let me tell you... remember Ahnold Schwarzeneggar's "classic" Total Recall??? The head of the Alien Resistance had this half man thing growing out of his chest? Remember dat?? Well Frank Beamer has that thing on his head?? That's the only explanation that makes sense... look at it... he's got Quatto on his head..that's what's coaching!!!)

Okay at this point you're probably thinking LSUal has lost his mind... maybe.....

Hokies...from Wikipedia...

Virginia Tech's sports teams are called the Hokies, except for the swim team, which uses the variant "H2Okies," a play on the chemical formula for water. The Tech mascot is the HokieBird.

The word, which originated from the Old Hokie spirit yell, penned in 1896, is often used interchangeably with "Fighting Gobblers" to refer to sports teams, fans, students, or alumni. The official university school colors - Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange - also were introduced in 1896. The colors were chosen by a committee because they made a 'unique combination' not worn elsewhere at the time.[1] The mascot is the HokieBird, a turkey-like creature. The teams were originally known as the "Fighting Gobblers," and the turkey motif was retained despite the name change.

Coached by Frank Beamer, Bud "Light" Davis DC, OC - who cares, QB - Scared Glennon, RB - see earlier post for his comments and disrespect of Tiger Stadium.

TIGERS

The Best Defense in the Land. 45 Points against Miss St....in the rain...first game of the new offense... Hester got most of the carries.... you will see something different and spectacular on Sat....you will see Gary Crowton's offense with Keiland Williams, Scott, Murphy and Doucet..and yes...the running Matt "Damon" Flynn. Craig Steltz for Heisman!!! Dorsey said himself he's not pretty enough to win the Heisman...but he should get some votes. I think Pelini has some special things instore...

Tiger Stadium, The GOLDEN BAND FROM TIGERLAND, The fantabulous Golden Girls, the best fans in the land (treat the visitors with respect, feed 'em, offer them several beverages, show your class and let the team kick their team's .... playbook) AND A Proud Tiger Stadium Salute to Mike VI ...may his reign be long and full of victories and National Championships.... http://www.mikethetiger.com/ ('tis official)

THE GAME...What will happen...

All you need to know is last week LSU allowed MSU 10 rushing yard while gaining 190 yards using mostly Hester and Flynn..meanwhile... Va. Tech gained 33 yards against East Friggin Carolina coached by Lou Holthz Son Shkip!

LSU - great defense and an offense ready to explode

Va. Tech - stats on paper from last year...and you probably won't find Mike Vick on the sideline this time.

Prediction...

It's the first night game in Tiger Stadium. It's a revenge match. It's on ESPN. It's LSU!!!! Punt Ugly Works...and why punt when you can drive the length of the field and score Touchdowns???

Va. Tech... Tigerbait.... Mike VI is hungry!!

THE SCORE

LSU 38

Hokie Gobblin' Beamer Ballers 13

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Tiger Stadium...you've been challenged....

LSU's Tiger Stadium has long been considered one of
America's most intimidating sports arenas. It is known as 'Death
Valley' and the crowd noise has been known to register on university
seismographs.

But Virginia Tech's star running back Branden Ore says he and his
teamates cannot let that distract them.

"Really, when you're out on the field, the crowd gets blocked out.
You're in a zone. You don't hear anything.

"We play in big stadiums every week and Lane is really loud and big
too, so I don't see a crowd or noise being anything to worry about.
"The game is played on the field, not in the stands. None of those
fans is going to be trying to tackle me, so all that noise and stuff
is just media hype."

Tiger Fans.... you've been challenged...make mr. ore eat his words.

Let's recap....

(courtesy of tigerdroppings.com fark board)

Miss St. had 10 yards Rushing.

Da Hokies had 33 yards rushing against East Carolina.... will we see negative yards rushing by the Hokies on Sat.?

Miss Teen USA 2007 - South Carolina answers a question

Miss South Carolina...on Steve Spurriers new defensive philosophy.... well she might as well... wow.... just wow....

Meanwhile in Tennuhcee...

Wow....Cal... how embarrasing.... to commemerate the loss... Phil Fulmer had 3 dozen donuts....Lulu and Junior...well they looked stumped again...

Mike 6.0

Mike the VI..or soon to be...in his $3 million habitat.

NEWSFLASH...

GEORGIA TECH JUST SCORED AGAIN ON NOTRE DAME!!

ouch... worst opening loss in the history of the domers...ouch..

..Jimmy Sexton on his way to Ann Arbor...

Rumor: Saban's Agent on a plane and on his way to Ann Arbor....

you lost to Apple State?!?! Haha

LSU Football - Lafell Blindside Hit

Okay... our defense can catch the ball...our offense can knock the snot out of people...GOOD STUFF!!

LaFell for Defensive player of the GAME!!

Steltz for Heisman!!

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....

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???!!!!

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.
