Coach of the Year!

LSU football coach, Les Miles, was honored with the title "Coach of the Year," by the Associated Press this week. This comes after Miles led the Tigers to a perfect 13-0 season and an SEC Championship. The Tigers will face the Alabama Crimson Tide in the BCS National Championship on January 9, 2012. Coach Miles received 30 votes from AP Poll voters to beat out Kansas State coach, Bill Snyder, who got 16 votes. This is the first time coach Miles has received this reward and the second time that a LSU coach has gotten it. The first time was Nick Saban who won it with the  Tigers in 2003. There is no doubt in my mind that coach Miles is deserving of the title. Congratulations coach Miles and lets hope this isn't the only honor you will be bringing home in the days to come.

Honey Badger Don't Care

Tyrann Mathieu, a.k.a."the Honey Badger" doesn't seem to mind being behind in a football game. He just takes the ball and single handily turns the tide. Honey Badger don't care if LSU is down by 14 points. Honey Badger don't care if LSU doesn't have any first downs and it's halftime. Honey Badger don't care about anything. He even scores when he doesn't score. I personally have never seen such an intriguing defensive player to watch. Never have I been so thrilled by a player that I stand up and yell every time he gets near the ball. What a shame  the media is trying to take this young man's achievements on the field and put them on the back burner by continuing to cover stories about the Honey Badger's private life. Does it really matter whether these stories are true? This is a young man in the prime of his life making the best of the moment. Why is it that we are more interested in his naked pictures than we are of his many accomplishments? Not only does Honey Badger not care but I don't care either. I believe this young man has grown this year and will only continue to mature and get better. Short from harming another person, I can't think of any reason to be angry with Mr. Mathieu. Years ago before the invasion of private lives the Honey Badger would have been able to live his life as the young man that he is without the critical judgement of the world. His achievements on the field would have been the focus instead of his personal life. He would be shining like the star that he is without the negative interference of the media. I believe the Honey Badger will continue to move forward and won't allow the negative attention to become a problem. I think like a real honey badger, Tyrann Mathieu will continue to have thick skin and ferocious defensive abilities and will continue to take what he wants.

Tigers Play for the Top

The number 1 ranked LSU Tigers will have to yet again prove themselves Saturday when they play the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship game. This will be the 29th meeting of the two schools with LSU leading the series 15-12-1. Tiger coach, Les Miles, says his team is energized and ready for the game. I have to agree with him. After a terrific game against the Arkansas Razorbacks the Tigers appear to be incredibly healthy and strong. There is such a depth to the Tiger team ( particularly the defense ) that it creates a challenge for the Georgia Bulldogs. The Tiger offense is looking strong with running backs Spencer Ware, Michael Ford, Alfred Blue, and Kenny Hilliard all playing a key role in it's success. Those four players, along with quarterback Jordan Jefferson, have combined for a total of 30 rushing touchdowns. Not bad for a team effort. I believe the Tigers are going to be well prepared for the Bulldogs and Saturday's game will just be another stepping stone towards the National Championship and a perfect season. Whatever the outcome the Tigers will remain number one in my books!
