I finally get to watch sports again! College football returns with LSU taking on Mississippi St. tonight. I am a lifelong LSU fan that is also a graduate of Miss. St., so this game is always interesting for me. I always pull for LSU, because you just can't go against the team of your childhood. I cheer for State every other game, even though there is not much to get excited about usually.
Score prediction: LSU 38 Miss. St. 13
Anyway, LSU is ranked #2 in the country and have been picked by many to play for the National Championship. On the pro side, the New Orleans Saints are being picked by many to go to the Super Bowl. Wow. I never thought I'd see the day when both LSU and the Saints were on top. I hope it continues.
So, pull up a chair, grab the remote, say goodbye to your families, and enjoy the next four months of finally having something to watch on the weekends! Football is finally here!
Geaux Tigers!
State called, they want their degree back. Traitor!

Alas, I bleed purple and gold.
45-0. Offense played real vanilla to not give anything away for Virginia Tech next week. That will be the real test and I fully expect LSU to roll out the whole play book.
Overall, good first game. Defense was solid, offense got the job done. I'm satisfied.
As for Bama, Adam, we'll see you guys on November 3rd!

They just better not roll out the option again. That was weak, even against State's defense. Who does Matt Flynn think he is? Tim Tebow? There's only one Tim Tebow. His name is Eric Crouch.

Alan,
If you are going to do well here in the ALABAMA FOOTBALL NATION known as SABANATION you are going to have to let go of this LSU thing, whatever it is, and say ROLL TIDE. :-)

Newton Minnow, a pioneer and long-time force in the TV industry, described Television in 1961 as a "Great Wasteland". I think he was referring to one particulary aspect of it.
Football season.
