Went to the LSU-Florida game. What a heart-stopper. Super seats on the LSU side 35 yard line. I am getting too old for these types of games.

One of the best games I have seen in Tiger Stadium going back to our 10-7 win over Ole Miss when the Rebs were #2 in the polls.

I met James Carville; went fishing in the Biloxi Marsh and caught many beautiful reds and speckled trout and two sheepheads and two drum; got thrown out of Tiger Stadium by the State Police at midnight as the stadium was closing; snuck into the Club Section in the stadium and got free drinks and food; saw the LSU alumni gang and ate once again; attended a tailgate that was out of this world; saw the ESPN Game Day in the AM and then on the way back to the car after midnight; got to tour the ESPN Game Day bus; saw Mike VI and found my brick by his habitat; ate a free breakfast at the Lod Cook Hotel; had Coach Larry Jones (coached with Dietzel and McClendon and the 1958 National Championship team) autograph my LSU Perfect Season book where his name is mentioned; ate four outstanding poboys plus fried shrimp and an out-of-this world crab casserole; toured a 946 foot Merchant Marine cargo ship; got photo taken with Andrew Whitworth of the Cinncy Bengals; ran into General Richard of TAF and spoke with him for a few minutes (he was in school with me); walked my fanny off all over campus fighting the 170,000 crazies and their dogs; got my Saban is a ****** tee-shirt and sticker for the car for the November game; and had great flights to and from New Orleans/Richmond.

NOLA is still a disaster and I cannot see it ever coming back in my lifetime.

One of my crazy friends told me his story about him trying to outrun a NOPD patrol car in his garbage truck after Katrina.  He almost made it to the parish line but they set up a ro*** on him about six blocks from the line. They took him to the Greyhound Bus Station and placed in under arrest.  He got out of it as he knew the judge and DA.

Trying to get back into the groove today but it is hard.

Looking forward to hitting the fresh water, soon.

I'm starting to get tired of this thing...Where's the Nat'l championship held this year..

Naleans  

That's what I figured :

South Florida doesn't have a chance of beating the Tigers in the title game now.

Not to worry South Florida aint gonna make to the title game  

Even though my youngest son is standing here saying he agrees with you  ;D

My prediction is that the fight for the title will be between OU and LSU.  I'm an avid fan of both teams.

Wrote on a dry erase board in the LSU team's locker room after the Florida game.

"FOUR QUARTERS OF MEAN, NASTY, TOUGH *** FOOTBALL!"

"That is LSU," Tyson Jackson said. "This is a four-quarters program.
