Thank God for an AD with the common sense to know that this rant board means nothing and actually runs his job like the business it truly is. People on here need to get a job and go to friggin work unloading containers to get the supply chain back in sync to help pay my social security retirement.

LSU vs Tulane at the old Sugar Bowl in November 1968. Tommy Allen (The Trigger from DeRidder) scored 3 TD's in his last regular season game at LSU. Tigers won 34-10 (I think).

Lady Tigers allow 4 runs and error to a tie

I work with Ford's mom at Ft Polk...he's gone after this year according to her. Personally can't see it simply based on this year's performance or playing time.

I agree that Coach Miles is sending a message to all the RBs. That being said, I can well remember Bear Bryant and Alabama winning a lot of championships by keeping a fresh pair of legs in the game at all times. I'm just shocked that Miles can keep this many quality running backs available at LSU this consistently. Kudos to Miles for that.

I work with Michael Ford's Mom. She says that he is totally pumped up and can't wait until Aug 1 gets here. He texts her all the time, but mentioned after this date, texts will slow down considerably. Looking for a GREAT year!!! Geaux Tigers!

I'm old enough to remember the game, but not all the excuses, but, this season is scaringly similar to the 1959 season (except this year LSU did beat Tennessee). LSU defeated #1 ranked (I think) Ole Miss 7-3 via a punt return that finalized the Heisman Trophy for Billy Cannon. Then, a rematch in the Sugar Bowl against Ole Miss netted LSU a 21-0 defeat. Why? Who knows.

The one thing I do know is that this year's LSU team is in my mind the best team that has ever been fielded in an LSU uniform. I think all the hype about distractions, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. have overshadowed the fact that this group of young men and their dedicated coaching staff have given us all as fans of this game something to be completely proud of. I salute Coach Miles and his staff and everyone associated with the current program. I am proud of you all and especially what Coach Miles stands for. I woke up this morning, got dressed, thankful I had a job to go to and thankful I had a home and family that slept inside out of the weather and had a good meal to enjoy as the day started. Come on folks, let's get our priorities right here.

Look out for LSU in 2012-13. Geaux Tigers.

PS: I haven't seen anything written about where R. Sheppard was last night. Didn't even see him on the side lines. Was he dressed out?
