Glad you could make it to BR for the big game, and thanks for your kind comments on the native hospitality. This is most likely the most important game of the year for the offense to get through without a "2006 Florida game meltdown". By the time LSU gets to the grudge rematch of THAT contest, they will have another three games under their belt, including one interesting matchup with Spurrier's team (he gave LSU fits in a past life). I strongly believe that if LSU makes it to the Florida game 5-0, it's Katy-Bar-the-Door for the big one in the big easy. This is truly the (purple and)golden age of college football. Enjoy the contest all.

As I Tulane fan I've seen LSU heart at both extremes- first, when coming up for a post-Katrina game for a down and out team. Second, for every other Tulane game. They care, all right. Go Tigers.

As much as I want the tigers to go undefeated, Virginia Tech, Florida, Alabama, Auburn and Arkansas may have something to say about it. I believe the only team who may go undefeated is West (we only play two teams this year) Virginia. Still, we should be playing for the national title. Geaux tigers!!!

If you think the scene was jazzed Friday night, I strongly recommend you wander amongst the tailgaters all over campus on game day. and bring your cup for refills ;-)

Where are you Stew? Hung over?

First true marque match-up of 2007? What about Cal-Tenn? In your report on the LSU-VaTech game, you noted, "... most of us had already decided earlier in the week your guys were probably going to beat the Hokies ...". Isn't a marque match-up one that "experts" like you divide evenly about?

Stew, do you remember when the biggest debate was if Michigan and Ohio State should have a rematch in the National Championship game - I know hind sight is 20/20 - but thank goodness they got it right. Geaux Tigers!!!

What? Texas' offense ignites in the second half, scoring 34 points against a highly talented TCU defense, and the Texas D holds TCU to 6 offensive points and just over 200 total yards, and all you can say is Colt McCoy doesn't look efficient? He threw one legit pick in the first half, the second was tipped and should've been caught by the UT wideout.

thanks for being the first to mention that the Ducks also beat Michigan in Eugene a few years back. As far as the talking puppet on ESPN that said the Ducks haven't been players on the national scene for six years, what about the 11-1 record a couple of years ago when their only loss was to USC. The PAC-10's not perfect but we are better than the eastern and southern media make us out to be.
