I promise this is the last time I’m going to reference the LSU vs Alabama game. Read this great post on Tiger Droppings.

The fix is on everyone, just open your eyes!!! Just in case you Alabama fans are still in denial that it wasn’t an interception in the game last night…
LSU’s Dismal Season
This season cannot end quick enough for the Bayou Bengal Faithful. You might say I’m putting the cart before the horse with the Arkansas game looming after Turkey day, but if you think a win on Friday will leave a good taste in your mouth than you must be gnawing on Thursday’s leftovers. This season was very tough on the boys in purple and gold, but what more did you expect after hearing we would have to start Freshmen quarterbacks with no SEC game experience. This is the toughest conference in college football, and anyone who argues that really needs to quiet down. To start freshman against teams like Florida, Georgia & Alabama this year was asking a lot of a 19 year old. Jarrett Lee did not help the situation with all of the pick-sixes he’s thrown, but our defense has not looked that great either. Neither has our ‘all-american offensive line’. Who couldn’t open holes for Charles Scott on Saturday when Ole Miss populated the line with 6 players.
The worst part of all of this are the LSU fans that are so spolied with the LSU system for the past few years. These bandwagon fans who have only tuned in since the 2003 season need to calm down. Especially the ones who constantly call for Les Miles to get fired. Did we not win a National Championship last year with this man at the helm? Do you people even think before you speak?
Since there is nothing that I can do, I’m just holding out for next season. Maybe during the off-season our team can watch a lot of film and figure out what went wrong on both sides of the ball during the 2008 season.
GL Friday Tigers… I’ll be watching…
LSU Fails as Saints Persevere
Was a tough weekend if you are an LSU Football Fan, and it was a good weekend if you are a New Orleans Saints fan.
The Tigers had another defensive fallout against an SEC school by letting the Georgia Bulldogs put 52 on the board in their defeat Saturday night in Death Valley. That makes 103 total points allowed by the Tigers this year between Georgia and Florida. Jarrett Lee once again made poor decisions, maybe he would do better if all of the recievers had cups of beer on their heads and he could toss ping pong balls. I have not seen poor decisions like these since Josh Booty, and we all know how that debacle played out.
The defensive secondary of the Tigers makes the Saints secondary look good, as Georgia (and Florida) completed long third downs, impossible silly pass routes, and wide open air grabs. This team has a lot of work to do before Tulane, because the way they are playing now I’d be hard pressed to say Tulane won’t throw a couple of TD’s over them. And I do not even want to start thinking about Nick Satan and the Alabama Crimson Flow yet…
On Sunday the Saints managed to outrace the San Diego Chargers in Wembley stadium (as a home game once again). Let’s just kiss the ground that Drew Brees walks on right now, because without him the Saints would be sunk. And after all this illegal substance stuff clears, we could be without three important players…

And so it begins…
Les Miles has begun the ‘war of words’ with Nick Saban, leading up to Nick’s return in Tiger Stadium this year, where I am sure he will be heartily welcomed *cough* sellout *cough*. Miles is conducting the ’2008 Tiger Tour’ and here is a quick wrapup of one of his discussions:
(originally reported by SBB)
he managed a quick slight of Alabama when discussing how tough it is to play in the Southeastern Conference and how the 2008 slate includes trips to Auburn and Florida as well as hosting Georgia.
There was no question the attendees still bask in last November’s victory over former LSU head coach and Tide boss Nick Saban, and Miles brought down the house when he urged the faithful “not to make too much of that game as it seems like a lot of teams in Louisiana beat that team,” referencing Alabama’s shocking subsequent loss to Louisiana-Monroe.
SNAP!
Kinda reminds me of the joke about why couldn’t Alabama go to the Independence Bowl last year? Because they couldn’t get past Monroe, LA.
