I sympathize with anyone who has to miss this game because of work or some extreme circumstance.(i.e. your wife)
I cannot sympathize with anyone who has the opportunity to watch the game and chooses not to for any reason.
You should watch the game, your wife will not begrudge you that priviledge.

Pretend Reid wasn't even there.
If Bama's tight end jumps up, catches the ball, comes down with it, holding the ball when he hits the ground, but the jar from the ground knocks the ball loose, it is an incomplete pass.
This ball never touched the ground though...
Obvious interception is obvious.
Only the most crimson of goggles can see it any other way.

Good job refs

They called a good game.
When they reviewed the Reid interception my panicked mind instantly flashed back to P.P.'s 09 interception.
It's always great to be a Tiger, but tonight is particularly sweet!

Best games I've experienced in TS:
'95 Auburn
'97 UF, was a sophemore, we rushed the field, the goalposts came down, epic night
'03 UGA
'07 UF and Auburn
Worst game experience in Tiger Stadium:
'05 Tennessee. Katrina and Rita had just ripped apart the state. People were anxious, the tension was everywhere that Monday night. Then the Tigers blew a 21 point halftime lead...
CSB Tiger Stadium moment:
'96 season, my freshman year at LSU, Dinardo led us to the Peach Bowl. The night before the tickets went on sale, several of us camped out in the parking lot by the ticket office. Couches, kegs, the works. They were doing a bit of construction on the stadium, and no one locked the stadium that night. Gates were just open. So about 20 of us played football all night on sacred ground. Yeah it was dark, couldn't see shite, but I did manage to catch a TD pass. Will never forget it.
Game I would have loved to see?
'79 USC
'88 Auburn
'59 Ole Miss

Is the Hanagriff show streamed anywhere?
re: Leslie Edwin Miles is picking up NFL steam per cbs

There are intangibles related to being LSU's coach that are hard to put a dollar value on.
Yes, the NFL has deeper pockets, and the draw of the largest stage in professional sports.
But Les Miles lives in Baton Rouge, eats in Baton Rouge, goes to church in Baton Rouge, and is without a doubt the most popular man in town.
Unlike Saban, who is universally accepted as a great coach but terribly unfriendly, Miles is liked as a person on and off the field.
I'm not naive enough to say it can't or won't happen, but being HC of the LSU Tigers while the Tigers are a dominant program is a HUGE thing to walk away from. How do you put a dollar amount on that?
Saban put a dollar value on it, but his personality is completely different than Miles'.

re: A word of warning regarding our #1 ranking...

You mean the Tigers are going to lose at some point some time in the future and we will all be heart broken?
Really? Most of us figured this team would ignore eligibility regulations and continue to dominate from now until the end of time.
The Tigers are 4-0, ranked #1 in the country, take that for what it's worth, and enjoy it while it lasts.
I don't really understand the "don't enjoy it too much guys we will lose again one day" mentality.

We were number 1 already when we played Florida the week before.
USC was #1 going into the UF game. Their loss that week was announced around halftime, igniting the Tiger crowd in a way that has rarely been seen before or since.
One common theme I keep seeing from WVU SEC enthusiasts is they assume they will miraculously be recruiting on the same level as the big boys of the SEC immediately.
It's comical. Selling Morgantown to these talented southern recruits will be no easier than selling Starkville. Only, a much colder version of Starkville.

re: I see some complaints about the defensive scheme.
Posted by Geaux01 on 9/25/11 at 10:51 pm to RogerTheShrubber
I believe Chavis's gameplan was a direct result of our special teams ability to pin them deep.
The defense was willing to allow the small passes, because it is very hard to sustain a long drive(90+ yards) with small dink and dunk passes. It leaves very little room for error on the offense's part when you have zero running game. A strong short passing game can be stupefying when coupled with a decent running game. WVU couldn't establish the run, so LSU concentrated on taking away the deep ball.
These drives, while succesful statistically, would eventually fizzle and lead to no points. Whether by turnover, punt, or turnover on downs, the defense did their job.
The WVU offense was spectacular, yet only found the endzone 3 times.
Chavis noticed early on that the extra man (i.e. blitz) was not getting to Smith, though he was hurried a couple times.
We stopped blitzing right around the same time we started pinning them against their own goal line for every possession.
Though we got beat a couple times for big plays, for the most part our defensive scheme was content to allow them to move the chains, knowing that unless WVU executed perfectly, the drive would eventually stall.
And no, I don't believe we played a great defensive game. We missed some tackles, which has been one of the most impressive components of the defense this season. I just think this might be one reason we called off the blitz and played soft coverage underneath.
