1991-you always remember your first
2009-first post-Bertman title and first under the three game championship format
1996-obvious reasons

I was going to get the Spicoli meme where he says “those guys are figs!” But I’m too lazy.

Can you imagine we had Fournette, Guice, and Williams in the same backfield? I always think of Ed’s first game as interim v Mizzou when Fournette didn’t play and Guice and Williams each ran for 3 TDs.

I was a huge fan of theirs last year. It’s been all sunshine and roses for them the last two years. It will be interesting to see how they do when they lose a few. And this coach seems like a complete douche. When you win, you can be the good sport. You don’t have to prove yourself by acting tough. I have a feeling they’ll return to the mean over the next couple of years.

Is he the next Ponamsky? I’ll always remember listening to morning show then known as Culotta and the Prince when Derek didn’t show up the morning Ed became interim and he left to be his aide de camp. Wouldn’t it be fitting for the other half of that show to help bring LSU basketball a title.

I had to follow up with the actual stats. That season he played seven opponents ranked in the Top 10 at the time of the game. And A&M wasn’t ranked but was a rivalry game against a team who had beaten him the prior year. Here were the averages of those 8 games:

28/38 391 yds 4 TDs 0 INTs (he had 2 in 8 games) 7 carries/53 yds (3 total TDs rushing) Cmp% just under 75%

The remaining 7 games were against 4 SEC opponents (Vandy, Ms St, OM and Arky), Ga So, NWSt, and Utah St. Here were those averages:

25/32 362 yds 4 TDs (over the average, he averaged 0.5 more TDs here than in the above group 3.8 v 4.3) 0.6 INTs (4 total, 2 v OM alone), 4 carries/24 yds (2 total rushing TDs) 78% cmp%

Compare also Burrow v Top 10 teams that year. His stats were unreal, and he was the only Heisman winner I can remember that did not pad his stats against lesser competition. His stats were better v the best competition.

If I knew how to meme worth a shite, I would do the scene where Hans Gruber says: “We’ll be sitting on a beach…earning 20%.”

Lane should try to bottle lightning again. Ferris State just won another title with Wyatt Bower, a freshman, at the helm.
