several people will flip out and say we can't get any qb's.

No, no -- I've been practising my breathing exercises and I'm perfectly calm (in with the good air; out with the bad). More than calm, I'm feeling rather contemplative: I mean, I'm truly trying to figure out what would make a young man pass up an opportunity to quarterback LSU (with our tradition, crazed fan support, best nighttime games in the world; best food, best women, etc) to go hangout in Appalachia for four years with a bunch of dentally-challenged hillbillys dressed in creamsicle orange. That IS a poser! Surely it couldn't be the incredible incoming offense line there to protect him -- he'd never be touched by a defense! It couldn't be the stud running backs he'd be handing-off to, or the amazing receivers he could be throwing to -- one couldn't ask to be surrounded by a better team! Maybe, could it be, that it's because Gary Crowton isn't worth a pre-used rubber?

I'm not "flipping out" that we can't get a quarterback to sign with us this year; I'm confused and deeply concerned that there is something incredibly wrong with the offensive system that we, the general public, are not as yet privy to. High school quarterbacks should be beating down the door to get a shot at playing for LSU, yet NO ONE seems to give a damn this year (other than the home-town kid who just committed to a Big Ten school in Chicago, of all god-forsaken places).

So tell me what's next. Do we start talking-up Dak Prescott now, trying to get ourselves psyched-up should that day come to pass? I really can't see that as being anything more than a lateral move from Zack Oliver, right? And we know how Zack got beat on! Now, I guess, for the sake of my temporary sanity, I put all my eggs in the Phillip Ely basket and pray . . . while I wait for the other shoe to drop. Unbefrickinglievable.
