Reasons to Hate: LSU

There. I said it.

have no souls.

For miracle on markham II, I sat with my friend whose seats are right behind the visitor’s bench and also right by the edge of the visiting fans’ section. I’ve never experienced such vitriol (completely unprovoked BTW – worse, most of it was while they were winning). What sticks out in my mind are two kids who couldn’t have been more than 12, flipping off the crowd after LSU would score a TD (obviously they teach them young).

While very entertaining, it was also quite unnerving. Watching them react to Casey’s TD was priceless though.

Can’t wait to experience it all again Saturday. Go Hogs!

Concise and Truthful

We DEFINITELY like hearing those.

Let’s not forget the overly pretentious and over-the-top field painting & embellishments at tiger stadium:

1) – The damned “eye of the tiger” at midfield. When did that rocky movie come out? How much is that song a parody of the hair metal days? Is Ivan Drago haunting their sidelines?

2) – The tiger habitat. Only LSU would spend $3 million on a cage for an endangered species. When the commies takeover the USA, they’ll be listing this as exhibit #1 in the hall of “capitalist Excesses”. Hey guys – do something good with that money, like feeding the homeless of Baton Rouge, huh?

3) – Calling it “Death Valley”. How many “death valley”s are there in college football anyway? Clemson, Auburn, who else? How ’bout an original idea – or mascot for that fact?

4) – Labeling the field in 5-yard instead of 10-yard increments. This I sort of forgive them for. They don’t want the players to loose track by having to use both hands to count.

5) – the two-stanchion goal posts. Obviously just a choice to make them look cool or unique.

I’m sure there’s other factors here, but in all, when I look at that place on TV, I am reminded of the used Nissan Maxima my neighbor Andy bought in high school. No matter how cool he thought the subwoofer, tailfin, flame graphics, lambs wool seat covers, and king air freshener made him and the car look; it never changed the fact the he was driving an oil-burning, rust-bucket, POS of a car.

Just listen to Les Miles answer a question one time , any question at all. The man is a complete idiot.
I’m convinced his team is very, very lucky to have just one loss on their record to this point of the season. Truthfully, we all know they should be 8-3 right now.
That’s why I’m predicting we expose them, much like AU and “Cam the scam Newton” did earlier in the season.
We are peaking on offense with the arrival of Knile Davis (finally) and our run-defense matches up better with LSU than it did with MSU last week.
LSU won’t spread the feild with 4 WRs on a regular basis, looking for the QB to run a draw play up the middle. This will be one of those games where the D can concentrate more on their RB, Ridley and not look for the QB to beat them with his legs so much on the draw.
If LSU trails by more than 10 going into the 4th qr., look for Jefferson to show his true colors in the passing game.

Hogs win, 35 – 14.

He may not be the most well-spoken, George Bush was the President for 8 years. He navigated the 2005 Tigers to an 10-1 SEC west championship before loosing to Georgia. That team had no bye weeks due to the Katrina. More than half of LSU’s players are from Louisiana and had to worry about their homes and family’s. . He does everything to win and the players love him. Their are obnoxious fans everywhere.
  #1 reason to hate Arkansas. Houston Nutt was a good coach. Fired him because he refused to play Mitch Mustain who we all know know is a pretty average QB seeing he couldnt beat out a freshmen at USC.
