LSU scores five runs in ninth to rally by UC Irvine
Updated: June 8, 2008, 9:27 PM ET


LSU Defeats UC Irvine
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- LSU scored five runs in the ninth inning, including Sean Ochinko's go-ahead single, as the Tigers rallied to stave off elimination in their super regional series with a 9-7 win over UC Irvine on Sunday.
The deciding third game at LSU's Alex Box Stadium is Monday night.
Trailing 7-4, LSU (47-17-1) loaded the bases with no outs when Jared Mitchell, who homered in the eighth, walked to force in a run. Pinch-hitter Nicholas Pontiff drove in a run on a fielder's choice, Blake Dean hit an RBI single to tie it and Ochinko followed with a chopper over the third baseman's head to drive in the go-ahead run. DJ LeMahieu's sacrifice fly capped the rally.
Louis Coleman (7-0) allowed one hit in the final three innings for LSU, which had its 23-game winning streak ended the night before. The Tigers struggled against UC Irvine starter Daniel Bibona, who scattered nine hits over 7 1/3 innings, but got to work against the Anteaters' bullpen.
Closer Eric Pettis (4-3) entered in the eighth and allowed five runs on five hits in one inning to take the loss for UC Irvine (42-17).

LSU-Appalachian State to Kickoff Season on ESPN
(06/03/2008) BY www.LSUsports.net
BATON ROUGE -- On Saturday, Aug. 30, LSU will open the 2008 football season on national television as the Tigers host Appalachian State in a game televised by ESPN, the Southeastern Conference announced on Tuesday.
Kickoff for the LSU-Appalachian State game is set for 4 p.m. in Tiger Stadium.
The Appalachian State game marks the fourth time in five years that LSU opens its season on ESPN. Last year, the Tigers posted a 45-0 road win over Mississippi State in a Thursday night ESPN telecast.
The game between LSU and Appalachian State represents the first time that a defending champion from the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A) will meet the defending champion from the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) in the season-opener the following year.
LSU won the 2007 BCS National Championship with a 38-24 win over Ohio State, while Appalachian State capped its 2007 playoff run with a 49-21 victory over Delaware in the Football Championship Subdivision title game.
The season-opener against the Mountaineers will mark the second meeting between the two schools as the Tigers posted a 24-0 win over Appalachian State during the 2005 season.
The only other LSU football game currently scheduled for television is the Nov. 28 contest against Arkansas in Little Rock. That game will be televised by CBS on Friday afternoon at 1:30.

Bama Jokes....

A lady in Tuscaloosa calls 911. Hysterically, she says, "Someone just broke into my house, and I think he's going to rob me!" The police officer says, "We're really busy at the moment. Just get the guys jersey number and we'll get back to you."

Q: What is Nick Saban's biggest concern? A: Does the NCAA count bail money as a recruiting violation?

Q: What do you call a drug ring in Tuscaloosa?

A: A huddle

Q: Four Bammer players in a car, who's driving?

A: The police

Q: Why can't most of the Bammer players get into a huddle on the field? A: It is a parole violation to associate with known felons.

The Bammer team has adopted a new Honor System. Yes, your Honor, No, your Honor. The Tide had a 7-6 season last year. 7 Arrests, 6 convictions.

Q: How will the Tide spend the first week of Spring Training?

A: Studying the Miranda Rights

Samson Report..Spring Practice update...

Spring Practice update brought to you by Sam...

Miles got pissed about some of the players grades and cancelled Saturday’s intra-squad scrimmage and made the entire team run sprints instead. Perrilloux is still absent but is expected to return soon. Jarrett Lee has been impressive in his absence according to almost everyone who has seen him. Chad Jones has not been working with the baseball team so that he can be a starter next season for the football team. The same goes for Jared Mitchell who had a nice reception and touchdown for 60 yards in yesterday’s mini scrimmage. The corners we lost will be replaced seamlessly and they will be about 3 deep in the defensive backfield. Part of the depth will be true freshman Patrick Johnson has not even arrived yet but he’s expected to get a lot of playing time in the fall. He will be used much like Chad Jones was used last season. They are very similar in size and ability. Remember the name Ron Brooks. He redshirted last year but he’s going to compete for one of the corner spots. Linebacker seems to be our only weakness during the spring but that’s because 2 of the projected starters are out with minor injuries. They are missing valuable practice time so that is a problem. The offense will be strong. There are no weaknesses besides the behavior of the starting QB. It’s going to be a good season.

Recruiting wise, I thing it’s safe to say that if we continue to recruit the way we have been, we’ll have the #1 recruiting class in the nation next February. Or as Alabama might say, we’ll be the “Recruiting National Champions”.

Whew...take a deep breath Sam....pace yourself...

Les Miles on the RP Situation.....

"......Ryan Perrilloux, I suspended him indefinitely. He broke team rules, and I really don't want to spend a lot of time thinking and talking about him. His responsibility is to do everything right and get back on this team. And I'll focus on the guys that are competing for jobs on our team currently. My discipline is about team discipline.You will never know stuff. And then at some point in time, you'll get to know stuff and then it'll be a concrete piece. The point that I'm making to you is with these things, you take into account that a promise was made on a mother's couch.You take into account the responsibility that you have to your program and your team, and those are the two things.Not the media. Not the voting media. Not who should be and what should be suspended and how long and what do you think. You guys get no vote. You got no say. You've got speculation, and whatever you'd like to do. OK. But the reality of it is this is a team member that's no longer a part of the team in the short term. It's a very serious issue, and it's not something that I'm going to speculate and encourage conversation. He's suspended. Let's go on."

Random Stuff...

Okay.... it's the end of February and this is what we have....

1. Ryan P. indefinitely suspended. Dude...mature okay. Hard to make it into the NFL if you can't follow the rules college. Mature okay.
2. No RP so could it be Hatch or Lee as QB in the fall?
3. Spring Practice starts Feb 29th - Man that's early.
4. Men's B-Ball packed the house twice since BradyBall ended...and lost both of them. Do us a favor Skip... Let Butch Pierre go... and bring in an entirely new coaching staff.
5. LSUal as A.D.??? Hmmm.... I'll have to think about that one.
6. Women's B-Ball. Down 21-2 to Tenn at Tenn. Goes on a 21-2 Run and wins. This team's gotta chance to make some noise yet again.
7. Dang TAF "Tradition Fund" Due again... ouch.
8. Baseball starts in a few weeks.... I miss the 90's only for the reason of Gorilla Ball. The rest was just plain bad.
9. Still collecting National Championship Merchandise. Chinese factories are humming makin this stuff.
10. I still hate and/or despise USC, Alabama, Notre Dame, UGA, Va. Tech, Tulane, Ole Miss.... and the rest.....
11. Curely Hallman is unemployed again... Muscle Schoals H.S. now hiring again...
12. Dinardo's status is unknown...see hanging around Muscle Schoals, AL
13. Bama fans think they just won the national championship because a rating service in Alabama ranked their Football recruiting class as #1.
14. Saban's going to have a fun time distributing 25 scholarships to the 33 players he signed. This will be interesting.
15. Eli Manning won a big game... he didn't trip. What a weird year so far....

Go to Concerts!!

Van Halen Still Rocks!!!

TOAST!

Captain Toast

from the advocate.....

........Brady was never popular with fans, though, and attendance did not even pick up much after the Final Four. It has dwindled to the 4,000 range the last two seasons with the 6-17 SEC mark.
"Men's basketball has been stagnant at about 7,000 season-ticket holders," Bertman said. "And even though we went to the Final Four, we only had a few additional season-ticket holders. But the ultimate reason John Brady was fired is not attendance. They just didn't win enough basketball games since the Final Four.".......

THE BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Happy Hunting......

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

It's Gameday by Jill.....(Championship Edition!)

Victory for LSU

The bags are packed, the parties are planned
We’re all making the trip
From New Orleans to Montana to Afghanistan and Iraq
Every one of us is going to the Ship

After five glorious weeks of rest and rehabilitation
It will be beautiful to see a healthy number 72
A fully and completely ready Early Doucet
And the 2-headed quarterback of Flynn and Perrilloux

Kirston Pittman wants another BCS ring
Craig Steltz looks to add another to his family
Playing for a National Championship is a rare and special thing
Keith Zinger, also playing for his 2nd, would agree

Matt Flynn’s patience now has its reward
He waited, and he has earned this chance
He’s not ever going to be a first round draft pick
But his leadership has brought him to college football’s biggest dance

Let’s talk about the Ohio State Buckeyes
Their bowl record vs. The SEC is 0-8
Notre Dame was sure they’d break their losing streak last year
Does anyone need a reminder of their fate?

ESPN is in an ’03 time warp
They want so badly to make other teams matter
The National Championship game is right here and right now
Anything else is just chatter

This damn fine football team has persevered
With their heart and fight they have earned this attention
Every single player has made it happen
This poem is too short, but every name deserves a mention

Coach Miles is the subject of a great debate
Is he smart or is he crazy? Is it this or is it that?
There’s only one thing those people need to know
Now is the time to Fear the Hat

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

fun with numbers.....

41-14 - Last years score UF vs. OSU
0-8 - OSU record against SEC Teams in Bowl Games
0-2 - OSU record against teams with Tigers for mascots in Bowl Games

Read this.... they're obsessed with their defeat....not healthy...punch em hard early!!!

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news;_ylt=Ajp1IR_TR4wAPKzIBLOlhPscvrYF?slug=ohiostatehastoletgoof&prov=tsn&type=lgns

National Championship (THE 'SHIP!) RANT!!!

Yes....it's that time again....it's time for another National Championship for Your LSU Fighting Tigers!!! It's a night game...it's in the Dome...it's gonna be loud.... we're playing some annoying team wearing red with another stupid mascot.... it's time...once again... for another pre-game rant....

THE GAME

#2 LSU (11-2) vs #1 the Ohio State (11-1)

THE HAT vs. THE WEASEL IN THE SWEATER VEST

SEC Champion vs. the Big Ten (11 teams why the 10????) Champion

Do I have to go into detail???? ....no.... you know that this is the MARBLE GAME.... BCS Trophy lies in wait.... first two time BCS Trophy winner will be the outcome of this one...

OH HOW I HATE OHIO STATE!!

This Monday's Tigerbait...wears red and gray and hails from Oh-hi-ho. They refer to themselves as "The Ohio State University" .....Whatever.

Coached by Jim "the weasel in the vest" Tressel. One BCS hardware item in the trophy case and loser by about 600 points last year to Urban Cryer in the BCS game against the Gators. How did he take the ESPN "Greatest Team of All-Time" and lose??? Easy....they couldn't handle the SEC speed.... somehow Lou Holtz thinks that this has magically been fixed. ????? The one loss this year... to Ron Friggin Zook no less......

Team - QB - Todd Boekmann...tall with a gun and suspect scrambling ability...meet Mr. Jones and Mr. Dorsey!!!

RB - Chris "Beanie" Wells.... well isn't that cute. He's the one man show. Stop him better than McFadden please. Ali Highsmith...you got this one.....

WR - Robiskie (son of the LSU great) and Hartline - STELTZ is on it! and Zenon is ready to light em up!!

Defense.... #1 we here... we'll see.....

LB - Laurenitis... All American.... Poo Poo Broussards' buddy. Hester's in to block this guy. Interesting to see a collision between him and RP....

OL and DL - Big..very Big...

Mascot - What the hell is that thing??? A Buckeye.???. a poisonous nut?? WTF??? Brutus scares me more than the U_L_L pepper...

Band - It's the script "Ohio" or is it the "O SH_T"!!! (thanks for the 50 or so emails with that one...it's still funny!!!!)

Fans - Outnumbered and out partied by the Tiger Faithful in N.O. If they're anything like the other Big 10 fans in 2001 (Illinois) they'll show up massively hungover and not a factor....and judging from StubHub as I write this....selling the majority of the last minute tickets.....

LSU!! LSU!! LSU!!!

Coaching - Heck LES is still here... He's having a great day with his Damn Strong Football Team.

Crowton has had a month to implement more spread offense...the achilles heal of Big-1o.

Nebraska's Head Coach is here to throw some well rested Dorsey Army members at the hapless Buckeyes!!!

FEAR THE HAT!!!

Team - Flynn or Perrilloux? How bout Flynn and Perrilloux?? Can't stop either one Oh-Hi-Ho!

RB - Hester, KW, Scott, Trindon (Dang he's fast..... good luck with that the Oh-Hi-Ho!), and Crazy Legs Murphy....

WR - Take your pick...Early, Lafell, how bout a few quick strikes to Byrd!

Defense - remember one thing.... You're only alive because Glenn Dorsey let's you live!!! He's rested and ready... he's got the number one draft pick in the NFL at stake and the championship to Win that he returned to LSU for.... Good luck with that tOSU!!!!

Mascot - A live Bengal/Siberian Tiger Mix... don't mess with a live cat (see CNN) that even scares Glenn Dorsey!!! Mike VI wants to start off his reign with a Crystal Football!!!

Band - Ohio cannot handle the Golden Band from Tiger Land!!! and those fabulous Golden Girls are far superior to anything a cold weather state could even dream to offer.... Advantage - LSU!!!

Fans - THAT's YOU!!! If you're there.... I expect you to blow both vocal chords and be at the ENT Specialist on Wed.... you won't feel anything Tuesday after the victory.... (ssh....we're not at that part yet.....) IF you're not there.... channel some energy...... Regardless....BRING YOUR A-GAME!!!!

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN!?!?!?!

Lou Holthszsps picked OSU ...so that 's a bonus!!! It all starts at 7:00 PM... OSU does it's dumb script and dot the "i" thing...then bedlum..... the Golden Band From Tiger Land blasts out those four notes that signal.... pain is coming....and it's wearing white jerseys....and is hungry.......

Ohio hangs for a quarter....but LSU has too many weapons.... am I speaking with Logic or Emotion???? Both.... Flynn goes out in style....Hester is consistent... the Defense steps up....Chad Jones returns a punt for a TD and Crowton finds a way to insert Holliday to maximize the speed.... ....okay... the OSU QB has Post Tramautic Stress Disorder after this one.....

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

THE PREDICTION!!

LSU 37

OH-hi-o State 20

Flynn and Perrilloux Playing Video Games to prepare?

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news?slug=ap-bcs-videogameplaybook&prov=ap&type=lgns


LSU quarterbacks use video game to prepare for BCS national championship game

By RALPH D. RUSSO, AP College Football WriterJanuary 5, 2008

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- When practice is over and film study is done, LSU quarterbacks, as most college kids do, play video games.
The difference is Matt Flynn and Ryan Perrilloux are usually still working on the game plan for the BCS national championship game against Ohio State when they fire up the Xbox these days.
LSU offensive coordinator Gary Crowton has used a custom-made video game to help his quarterbacks learn to read defenses.

XOS Technologies, a company that specializes in gearing technology to the needs of coaches, worked with EA Sports to produce the PlayAction Simulator that LSU has used this season.
"What they've done is they put our plays into the video game and then they put in our opponents' defenses," said Crowton, the Tigers' first-year offensive coordinator.
The game looks and plays just like the popular Madden NFL and NCAA football games, though all the goofy stuff such as player celebrations, cheering crowds, mascots and bands have been removed.
LSU and Tennessee were the first schools to use it this season and it went well enough that XOS expects to make it available to all its clients this year. The company provides technology to most Division I schools.
"The video game is an excellent resource we have," Perrilloux said. "Whenever we hit a play, that play would automatically match up with the defense that we would see or blitz we would see.
"If you make the wrong decision it's an automatic interception or it's an automatic incompletion." ......................................

Tyler Edwards, (TE)

6'4", 236

Edwards is the brother of former LSU tight end Eric Edwards

Chose LSU over Little Nicky and Alabama

48 hours ....and some change....

Okay as I write this..kickoff is a mere 53 hours away.....

Long time since August.... the improbable.... two losses in triple overtime...the win against Tenn-uh-cee for the SEC Championship....then the unthinkable... a very bad Pitt team taking out West Virginia.... that's the BCS....weird some may say....but it does bring us to where we are....#2 LSU vs. #1 OSU. A rematch of sorts that has stewed since then late 80's. If you were there during the Archer years your remember those two games....a damn Tie in Tiger Stadium .....then the next year the choke job by Archer's team in the last 3 minutes giving up two TDs. I want revenge.... ...but enough of that ....take the game for what it is..... the Crowning of the BCS Champion.

So you say you don't like the BCS...here's what life would be if the BCS had not come about..... LSU would not have been the NC in 2003..... and friggin USC would have about ten more ...here's why...... without the BCS you'd have the traditional bowl matchups in the following:

1. Rose Bowl - Pac-10 vs. Big 10 (Eleven) Would have been USC vs OSU


2. Sugar Bowl - SEC vs. Big Least/ACC. Would have been LSU vs W... Va./Va. Tech


3. Cotton - Big 12 vs. Notre Dame...haaahaaaa... Chokelohoma would have maybe won that one.


4. Fiesta - ACC vs ?

So you'd have the media enamored every flipping year over the Rose Bowl as it used to be (well Brent Musberger and ESPN/ABC/ Disnet still are). There'd be no chance for the SEC to win a NC unless they were undefeated... think about it....the last time was in the early 90's when the Bama Cheaters beat the Miami Convicts in the Sugar Bowl. There's been no undefeated SEC teams since.....(well except some Cheating Allbarn teams that were either not allowed to go due to probation or finished behind two other undefeated teams - 2004 ..3 Auburn,2 Texas, 1 USC..... no BCS that year and USC beats OSU and wins the NC....instead of getting beaten by #2 Texas due to the BCS matchup).....

So you'd be hearing 5 Pete Carroll all over ESPN right now ...and you'd be purchasing all your Sugarl Bowl paraphanalia after LSU beat Va. Tech for the second time this season in the sugar bowl...

I prefer this system.... at least until they figure out a playoff that includes every conference having a championship game...and destroying the ROSE Bowl once and for all......

Anti-vanilla Miles not afraid to buck conventional wisdom

By Gene WojciechowskiESPN.com(Archive)

NEW ORLEANS -- Les is more. Sometimes so much more that you shake your head in disbelief.
Did Les Miles, with only nine seconds remaining and LSU's national title hopes hanging by the width of a Mike VI's tiger whisker, really go for a touchdown on third-and-7 from the Auburn 22 when all he needed was a semi-chip shot field goal to win?
Did he really end his bizarre, Take that, ESPN, I'm-Not-Going-To-Michigan news conference with, "I'm busy. Thank you very much. Have a great day"?

es Miles wears his emotions on his sleeve.
Did he really refer to his Tigers as, "my damn strong football team"?

The pop quiz answers are: yes, yes, and damn yes.
Miles doesn't wear his emotions just on his sleeve. He wears them everywhere: on the sideline while pumping his fist, in the postgame locker room, at news conferences. His face has three dial settings: elation, determination, or I'm Going To Cry. Elation, though, is getting the most work, thanks to the domino effect of upsets and losses all the way from Morgantown, W.Va., to San Antonio.
Somehow -- and not even Miles is sure how the reprieve happened -- LSU is in the Allstate BCS National Championship Game, and better yet, playing the game just 80 miles from its Baton Rouge campus. The Tigers have two losses (a BCS Championship first), they're tracking, statistically speaking, the wrong way during their past eight games, and, depending on the published account you read, almost lost their coach to his beloved alma mater, Michigan............

THE CONSPIRACY.....

Okay here we go again..the ESPN/ABC/Disney Conspiracy is kicking into high gear once again...since the conglomerate lost out on the BCS games to Fox they've hung their fortunes on the one game they kept...the freaking Rose Bowl. Now since that one is over we'll get endless analysis on how USC needs to jump to number one in the AP and that 'USC is the best team in the country right now'. Give me a break.

.....If we get to see another BCS/ AP national championship split this season I'm going ballistic!!!....enough already.....

....Other Random Thoughts.....

The Brent Musberger drinking game... if you played this today you are no doubt in a coma right now....the rules today were to take a shot every time Brent Musberger said either "John David, John David Booty or referenced USCs 2003 'championship' .... I can't stand that man....hiccup.....

Lou Holtz

Lou said today that since U of Meechigan beat Floriday... OSU will now blowout LSU. .....this isn't a Nick Saban team...LSU does not get blown out under Les Miles...as a matter of fact LSU does the blowing out.... look out OSU.. your beating is coming.....

Florida and Arkansuck

Wow..Timmy Tebow continues the Heisman winner curse and Arky proves that Nutt was the superior game day coach on the planet with not much talent....

Nice Showing losers!!!

At least the rest of the SEC is holding up their end of the deal.

Happy New Year!!
