Here is what I wish we would do: Form a committee of ten very sports savvy alums, all of whom are devoted to LSU. Their task is to identify the best high school coaches in all 64 parishes in the state. Focus on those coaches under 40 years old and through consensus identify the five best presently-working coaches willing to commit themselves to a long term process of building a magnificent program at LSU. Through a process of deep conversations (interviews) by each of the ten committee members one-on-one with each of the five prospective coaches, reach a consensus of which of the five coaches has the best vision for how he would build the program. Number one priority is three-fold: that the man has a deep love for Louisiana, a deep love for LSU, and is committed to enhancing the future of each and every player on the roster. Louisiana is second only to Georgia for "Top states for NFL players per capita." It is time to draw on the strength of home grown talent, and to extricate ourselves from this fantasy that throwing millions of dollars at some big name coach, whose best days are behind him, will somehow lift LSU to instant glory.

Geaux Tigers!

The Blessings Collegiate Invitational - LSU wins.

The LSU football player whom I enjoyed watching play football while a Tiger more than any other was Tyrann Mathieu. On defense, I love how he focused less on tackling and more on taking the ball or stripping it out of the opponent's hands. And, on offense, his scampering was scintillating (especially the many times he returned punts for touchdowns.) Overall, the distinctive way he played (and even still plays) the game made watching football simply FUN.

Indeed... and it's called leadership.
Joe Burrow is a superb leader.
Drew Brees is too.

Haven't been to this site in over a year at least... 'til tonight.

I forgot how it's regarded as a capital offense to post anything here that perhaps has been posted before. Had I recalled the unrelenting nature of such unyielding pettiness, I wouldn't have bothered. ;-)

Nonetheless, if you haven't read this piece, it's an interesting read... and speaks well to the power of the greed that will very likely ultimately destroy college football.

Gotta really hope they can learn from this unbelievably horrifying sloppiness, and after playing such beautiful football.

Would love to see Rivers throw a touchdown pass.

Bummer. I very strongly hope he fully recovers.

But, what I love best is the photo of the LSU flag. ;-)
