Back in Business

I've just gotten to the point where I can talk about LSU football again. It took me a while to get over this one. I suppose all I can do now is move on to next year. Which, by the way, looks promising. LSU returns 16 starters next year ( 8 offense, 6 defense, and 2 specialists.) This includes a trio of  All-Americans, cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, defensive end Sam Montgomery, and punter Brad Wing. The Tigers will also return four top running backs and it's second leading receiver. The biggest news however is that the Tigers will have a new quarterback next year. This is something that I have looked forward to for quit some time. I am hoping with the play of Zach Mettenberger the Tigers will develop an offense that is well rounded in both the running and passing game. Something they lacked in the National Championship. It will be interesting to see if Coach Miles will integrate a passing game into the offense and if his play calling will go beyond that of the option. I am a glass is half full kinda gal but I am still struggling with this one. I am unsure if Coach Miles learned his lesson in the Championship game but I a am hopeful he will take the advice of many and make the changes necessary when it comes to the Tiger's offense. Next year looks to be a good one, lets hope it pans out that way. Geaux Tigers!

Beat Bama

The day is finally here. It's time for LSU to take the field and Roll that Tide right out of the Superdome. After a season rife with off-field distractions all LSU has to do now is do what they have done for the past 13 games, and that is win. A win tonight in the BCS Championship game would give LSU their 3rd BCS title and could possibly put the Tigers as the best college football team ever. The Tigers have overcome numerous obstacles before and during the season to get to where they are today. From a coach diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, to a bar fight that made national news, to three other suspensions that cost the Tigers five players, the Tigers haven't faltered. They still rank with the number two defense in the nation, have an outstanding special teams unit and have a power running game that provided more than enough points, an SEC-leading 38.5 per game. LSU now needs to get past Alabama's number one defense and show the Tide who the true champions are. All that is left for this game is to hear the Tigers roar as they hold up the crystal ball. Geaux Tigers! Beat Bama!

Tigers Ready to Get Game Started

The LSU Tigers are ready to get Monday night's BCS National Championship game started. After their first practice on the Superdome turf and a media day on Friday morning the Tigers will continue to practice Friday afternoon and are anxious to get to Monday. The game is expected to be a tough one and the Tigers are eager to prove they are truly the best college football team ever. Will the Game be another defensive match up or will the offensive units of the Tigers and Tide show up to play? We won't find out to Monday night but whatever happens you can be assured the Tigers will be ready. Coach Les Miles and  defensive coordinator John Chavis have done an excellent job preparing the Tigers defense for anything that they might face. The Tigers have allowed 10.5 points and 252.1 yards per game in rolling to a 13-0 record. The LSU offense has a lot to owe to their team's defense. Because of the defense, the offense hasn't had far to travel in order to score and they come in 12th in scoring even though they rank 59th in yards per game. If the Tiger defense shows up Monday night we can be assured that the Tigers chance of success will increase significantly. With this said I can't wait to be cheering on the sidelines as the Tigers are crowned three time National Champions!
