Championship Material

Well, that was interesting.
It was a real shame that Colt got knocked out of the game so quickly. I would have liked to see him have the chance to end his career with an amazing championship game. Instead I got to watch Saban call conservative plays and yell at his special teams coach.
Wasn’t that a [...]

LSU Season Over

Oh what might have been on a solid field…
LSU managed to mismanage the clock yet again. When there is less than sixty seconds on the clock, you don’t spend five seconds in formation before you start the play. One second is plenty. Yet that’s what they managed to do on their next to last play. [...]

Bowl Matchups

LSU gets a decent bowl, although it would have been cool to have them come to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl. I might have tried to get tickets if that were the case. Penn State is certainly a worthy and intriguing opponent as well.
Texas probably should have lost to Nebraska. I can’t remember a worse [...]

Season Recap

A few weeks ago I posted that I expected LSU to go 2-2 over their last four games. With some “expert” clock management we managed to do just that. At 9-3 LSU should get invited to a good bowl game, but we’ll find out for sure later this week.
After all of the upsets [...]

What Could Have Been… LSU Plays ‘Bama Tight

Oh if only the camera man had panned lower, Peterson might have had an interception that turned the game around. Oh, if only Peterson had not been out of the game when Julio Jones made his 73 yard catch and run for a touchdown. Two simple but important plays that might have changed the outcome [...]

That’s Not Right…

How does a football player who punches another player get banned for the season while another player who attempts to gouge out another player’s eyes gets suspended for half a game? Half a game! Seriously!
Let’s look at it this way… given the amount of padding that football players wear, how much damage is a punch [...]

Tulane Tuneup, Texas Stampede, USC Stopped

LSU played Tulane and won 42-0. It sounds like it wasn’t much more than a scrimmage for LSU, but at least they were not caught looking at the upcoming battle with Alabama for first place in the SEC West. LSU has quite a stretch run coming up with games at Alabama, at Ole Miss, and [...]

LSU Off, Florida Squeaks, Texas Wins Ugly

LSU had an off week this weekend, but not like Texas. LSU didn’t have to play. Texas did, and looked ugly doing so. But first, the SEC results for this week…
Didn’t Arkansas look great against Florida? They sure looked a lot better than LSU did, and they were playing on Florida’s home field. I watched [...]

LSU Escapes Georgia

LSU probably should have lost the game. On the other hand, if the plays had worked out the same nobody was going to catch Scott on his last run through the line anyway. I don’t like the fact that more people are talking about the officials than the game, but what can you do?
Tomorrow the [...]

LSU 4-0, ‘Bama Rolls, Tebow Crushed, Cal Tumbles…

Another wild weekend in college football. The net result is that LSU entered the weekend at #7 and because of losses ahead of them will has become the most over-rated 4-0 team in the country. I don’t believe they’re a top-ten team, but losses to Ole Miss and Cal and Penn State and Miami… the [...]
