Hot damn.

I’m riding high upon a wave of euphoria, tempered only by the wish that I were watching the game back home in Austin with my friends or in Baton Rouge with my family.

This had better silence the critics of Les Miles, who’s had to deal with more crap than any other coach simply because he followed the almighty Saban. This should earn him the right to tell everyone who has badmouthed him for three years to screw off.

This should place LSU within the pantheon of national teams of dominance- teams that have earned the legendary status of their programs.

I feel a small twinge of sadness, as this also concludes my favorite time of the year- the college football season. It will be a long nine months before we see the beauty of another Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium.

For now though… for now, I’ll savor this.

LSU Tigers, national champions.

Out.

41-14, final.

Yup. Total Ownage by LSU in tonight’s Sugar Bowl.

Dear Notre Dame fans, we regret to inform you of your complete ownage by LSU tonight. Know that you are owned by one of the elite programs in the nation, and by one of the best quarterbacks to come along in a long time. Rest assured that you will be owned for a long, long time.

Out.

LSU versus Notre Dame.

I want to be there. So, here’s the deal. Anyone out there with two tickets to the Sugar Bowl for sale at a reasonable price or to give away, that has enjoyed our work, drop me a line at fnliii at wetwired dot org.

Yes, I’m serious. I want to go to the game with my dad, and might be interested in making an offer on tickets.

Out.

Scoreboard.

LSU 70, UT 60.

The concept of “Scoreboard” is pretty simple. See, it doesn’t matter who you think is the better team, or what happened in another sport. In the end, the final score is all that matters. Accept that and move on.

Thus, Scoreboard.

Oh, and Geaux Tigers!

Out.

Onepeat.com has pictures of the new billboard, as well as links to a video of the billboard showing its proximity to the Colisseum where USC plays. Gotta love sports fandom.

Out.

I’m pretty certain that you will hear the following sometime in the immediate future:

“LSU Redshirt Freshman Ryan Perrilloux announced today that he is transferring to the University of Texas.”

Think about it. As a redshirt, he won’t have to sit out a year and lose a year of eligibility. He has two quarterbacks ahead of him in the depth charts at LSU, and the second-string QB just had the game performance of the year for LSU. I’d bet that we see this happen, and soon.

Out.

Y’know, there’s something about driving 1100 miles in four days that really takes it out of a person.

I’ve been on a trip back to Baton Rouge this past weekend. Left Thursday, came back Monday. In that time I’ve tailgated, seen an LSU football game (and subsequently lost my voice within 3 minutes of the game starting- that’s depressing), froze my butt off wearing shorts in 40 degree weather, got stuck in three traffic jams YESTERDAY, and spent almost the entire day on Monday trying to get back home.

Still, it was… fun. Plus, I may be taking another trip down before Christmas for the Arkansas game. So, I’ve got that going for me. Which is nice.

Out.
