It's Gameday...by Jill...
Hellooooo Tiger Fans! It's that time again!
Let the lights go on in Death Valley
Let the Golden Band's sounds fill the air
It's time for LSU Tiger football
And there's nothing better...anywhere
After the last season's games have ended
There's an emptiness you just can't fight
An itch you just can't scratch
Until finally comes that sweltering September night
So now the talking time is over
Now the expectations start to rise
We'll chalk up a W for The Flagship University
And for the small school, another early demise
Landry and Daniels lead the defense
A deadly duo of experience and speed
There's no chance for the cajun offense
The Tigers will impede and not concede
All eyes are on Jamarcus
His eyes rest squarely on the prize
Watch him go to Early, Dwayne and Buster
Watch the offense light up the skies
It's the excitement you can't live without
The butterflies you just can't subdue
It's the feeling that lives in all of us
Forever LSU
GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!

GAME ONE...This Week's Tiger Bait...dem Crazy Cajuns!!
(with apologies to my beloved bride and several family members - graduates of the defunt U-S-L)
75 years under the lights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CRAZY CAJUN RANT!!! YES FOOTBALL IS HERE.. THE LONG OFFSEASON FINALLY ENDS!!!!!
Okay let me ..uh...I must say I liked USL...I cannot and never will get used to the whole UL (ultra small font) L thing... brings me back to the fact I hate change....still don't like the "St. Louis" Rams, the Washington "Wizards", ULM Warhawks, .... HEY it's USL, LA RAMS, Washington Bullets and dammit...Northeast Louisiana Indians....
I'm tired of the whole...'we had to change the name to become a more prestigous school and get more grant money'... okay...I guess that grant money comes as a gift from Skip Bertman and his curious scrimmage scheduling.... UL-Laf...enjoy that $400K grant saturday night okay. perhaps they can use the grant to buy larger letters for LAFAYETTE on all their signs around campus......
and word to the NFL ..Brandon Stokely and Mais Jake Delhomme did not attend UL-L..They are U-S-L graduates...just like Mrs. LSUal.
MASCOT - okay... Ragin Cajuns... that 's original, interesting unique.. they were the bulldogs... not unique but traditional.. still had the mascot around for a while until some brilliant mind in Lafayette (current home of LSUal) got the idea for a new mascot... the disturbing scary cayenne pepper thing... it's very disturbing... it gives me the heebie geebies... please lose the mascot.... (we'll lose Ellis Hugh the inflatable tiger aberation too and toonces our weird logo thingy)
History
Well not much to report here.. USL/SLI/ULL hasn't scored against the Tigers since 1924 before there were lights in death valley or even a death valley.... LSU has scored 912 points in 20 games to the Cajuns. 19 points. More info...
http://www.tigerdroppings.com/history/HeadToHead_1.asp?Opponent=Louisiana-Lafayette
last meeting 48-0 in 2002... ouch.
Cajuns
Head Case - Ricky Bustle (do the Bustle Hustle ..no kidding they used this slogan before), QBs two of em Babb and Desormeaux..both can run...they'll have too. RB Tyrel Fenroy..good but not faster than the LSU D. www.ragincajuns.com red,white,bulldogs,10,000 fans screaming at the tops of their lungs and yes they do know how to tailgate properly...
Tigers
Les 11-2 Miles ...season 2. Jimbo and Pellini are back. Alley B returns. Jamarcus (14-2 as a starter) back to improve on last year's season... Bowe,Davis, Early,..lots of weapons...lots of speed... Defense - Fastest Defense ever in the history of the planet...honest... just watch Glenn Dorsey on the D-line and you'll see... Golden Girls, Mike the Tiger, the march down the hill, Tiger Band, Tiger Stadium, 93,000 strong and stadium construction still going on....
THE TAILGATE
The Krewe of Tailgate returns to the Indians Mounds for yet another year of tailgating excellence. See ya early. oh yeah... Tigers and Cajuns.... this could be the best tailgate food and experience of all time.... ice those adult beverages and come hungry.....
The GAME
But AL...what about the game???? We all know what's going to happen. Tigers win. UL-L does have a chance of eclipsing their total 20 scoring in a single game but... that's not a given. ....just depends on how good LSU's third string is this time.....
Prediction
The new seat numbers and section numbers will create mass confusion for those who tailgate effectively and rely on memory and instinct to find their seats.... WHAT NO SECTION 12 Row BB anymore???????
Oh...you wanted a game prediction....
LSU - 58 ULS-LIULouisville - 10
GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Juvenile Accused of Setting Fire at an LSU Stadium Concession Office
Aug 21, 2006 05:18 PM CDT
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - LSU Police say a 15-year-old was booked with arson Monday in the fire that gutted a concession office in Louisiana State University's Tiger Stadium.
Campus Police Chief Ricky Adams says the youth and two other boys -- the youngest of them nine years old -- were booked with trespass. LSU police are looking for a fourth.
Adams says a passing driver called campus police shortly after the fire started, saying he saw smoke in the stadium and some juveniles acting suspiciously. Adams says the man had a very good description of the juveniles.
The Baton Rouge Fire Department says the fire did $300,000 in damages, gutting the concession offices and damaging equipment including three golf cart-type vehicles used at the stadium.
Adams says his officers worked with arson investigators from the fire department and federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents on the case.
WHY?????

97 days til football ....(and baseball is mercifully over)
Football cannot get here fast enough.
Smoke Laval cannot leave town fast enough...but we all know Skipper is going to stick with his friend as the death spiral of the once proud LSU baseball program continues...
I used to look forward to the first week of June..that's when the CWS used to take place..and for most of my life its seem LSU was there. Now the CWS is a month later and the LSU baseball team is about 6 years behind......
2000 - the last of the 5 CWS championships...
LSU's next freshman class will consist of people who were 11-12 the last time LSU won it all...and were 7-8 years old when Warren Morris smacked the most memorable homerun in college baseball history....
Sad... it's over..done.....no championship leadership to pass on to the next team....just an enigma of a coach, with more detracters than fans.....and a strange stranglehold on job security...(Moral of the story... NEVER let a coach pick his successor)
RIP - Tiger Baseball....
thanks for the memories....
good lord.... BRING ON FOOTBALL....
