I waited until after the Florida State game and got LSU over 5.5! Fanduel -160. Did no one else see that one?

I have missed the last couple of weeks. Is Lane Kiffen no longer a possible candidate?

RIP buddy!

The forward pass.

I was thinking maybe a Sport's Book but sport's bar good too. Anyone have a favorite Sport's Book? Thanks.

Way back in the fall of 1896, coach A.W. Jeardeau's LSU football team posted a perfect 6-0 record, and it was in that pigskin campaign that LSU first adopted its nickname, Tigers.

"Tigers" seemed a logical choice since most collegiate teams in that year bore the names of ferocious animals, but the underlying reason why LSU chose Tigers dates back to the Civil War.

According to Arthur W. Bergeron, Jr., PhD. and the "Guide to Louisiana Confederate Military Units, 1861-1865" (LSU Press, 1989), the name Louisiana Tigers evolved from a volunteer company nicknamed the Tiger Rifles, which was organized in New Orleans. This company became a part of a battalion commanded by Major Chatham Roberdeau Wheat and was the only company of that battalion to wear the colorful Zouave uniform. In time, Wheat's entire battalion was called the Tigers.

That nickname in time was applied to all of the Louisiana troops of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The tiger symbol came from the famous Washington Artillery of New Orleans. A militia unit that traces its history back to the 1830s, the Washington Artillery had a logo that featured a snarling tiger's head. These two units first gained fame at the Battle of First Manassas on July 21, 1861. Major David French Boyd, first president of LSU after the war, had fought with the Louisiana troops in Virginia and knew the reputation of both the Tiger Rifles and Washington Artillery.

Thus when LSU football teams entered the gridiron battlefields in their fourth year of intercollegiate competition, they tagged themselves as the "Tigers."

It was the 1955 LSU "Fourth-Quarter Ball Club" that helped the moniker "Tigers" grow into the nickname, "Fighting Tigers."

"we root for Florida because Alabama is in our division."

You are right! But the undefeated game in November would be incredible.

True, a fear of changing what is working.

First of all, I am 45 year season ticket holder (48 years old) and love Coach Les Miles. I trust CLM with every facet of the LSU football program except for one thing. When it comes to JJ9, I do not trust CLM. JJ9 to CLM is the same as crack to a crack addict!

We had to drag CLM kicking and screaming into letting JL12 sub for JJ9 last year. It wasn't until the 5th awful QB'd game last year until CLM finally took JJ9 out of the game.

And who can't wait to see that option to the weak side again?! At least we have a new OC so that may not happen. Bottom line, CLM's record with handling JJ9 is really scaring me with the team playing so well. I believe that is the main reason that the fans are reacting negatively.

I am happy that JJ got charges dropped and JJ9's charges were reduced. I was hoping they would both have charges dropped. If CLM can actually use JJ9 like he used Perrilloux, we may be fine. But what scares me is - most crack addicts (I imagine cause I don't know any) can't just have a little.

I think he should sell them to LSU fans first before Florida fans, don't you?
