Around 7:30 pm on Saturday afternoon, we should all know the winner of the LSU-Alabama game. Can the “hat” (LSU coach Les Miles) go into Tuscaloosa again and pull out a victory? Or will the “hair” (Alabama coach Nick Saban) beat his old team and the current 3rd ranked Tigers?

There are many sidebars to this game. Saban’s first game against his former employer. Ryan Perrilloux not making the trip due to an altercation at Read the rest of this entry »

Ugly wins still count. Thank God. After an ugly first half and overcoming a 10 point deficit at half time, LSU pulled out a 30-24 over Auburn Saturday night in Tiger Stadium. Also, the Saints, who were equally ugly, pulled out a 22-16 win over the Atlanta Falcons yesterday afternoon in the Superdome. Here are a few thoughts on LSU as there will be no discussion of the Saints today.

“I swear you are the dumbest smart kid I know..” If you’ve seen the movie Varsity Blues, you know this is quote from it. Moving forward, this is how I will now refer to LSU coach Les Miles - “The dumbest smart coach I’ve seen.” First thing first though Read the rest of this entry »

Many are calling tomorrow’s LSU game at Kentucky a “trap” game as it’s sandwiched in between Florida and Auburn. Mostly, though, it’s because of the way the Tigers won last week, putting all its effort into willing out a win against the Gators. I’m hoping the Tigers don’t get trapped in Lexington.

Here are your keys to the game for the Tigers:

1) Containing Kentucky QB Andre Woodson.

Both LSU and the Saints earned it this weekend, although both teams did it in extremely different ways. LSU came back from a 10 point 4th quarter deficit to beat Florida 28-24 in what was, in my opinion, the best damn football game I’ve ever seen. Follow that up with the Saints performance on Sunday afternoon, which was the complete opposite.

Is there any time of year better than the fall for sports? I didn’t think so. MLB playoffs, college football, the NFL and NBA get started — doesn’t get much better than that. I give you a quick run down of what’s coming up this weekend:

A) Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Chicago Cubs

Myself and two friends are/were planning on going to Chicago next weekend for the NLCS. Well, being that the Cubbies dropped the first two games in Arizona, the chances of that trip happening are as likely as Read the rest of this entry »

A couple of days before the Saints/Titans game last Monday night, a friend of mine wanted to bet me $100 that not only would the Saints beat the Titans, but that he would give me 12 points as he thought that they would win big. Obviously, my friend drinks a lot of black and gold Kool-Aid. I have no idea why I didn’t take that bet, but I’m wishing I had because proving him wrong again and winning a C-note would have been nice. Read the rest of this entry »
