I was present at so many of those games. Each clip awakened memories of a specific setting, the bite of a particularly strong drink, the impatient murmur of the pregame crowd, columns and domes and bowls and steep risers, concrete and metal, a fellow fan I befriended in the stands, the girl I couldn't stop staring at, the muggy pall or the azure sparkle or the crisp chill of the weather, the exhilaration and exhaustion of victory, the squinty-eyed tension of barely watched fourth quarters, the hoarse cries, the hugs from strangers. A whole life as an LSU fan, all over this glorious country on inmumerable timeless Saturdays. Good stuff. Geaux Tigers.

Hello Mr. Borne!

That was beautifully written. You capture the magic of LSU football in words. Cheers.
One thing that strikes me about those 2003 and 2007 teams is the great leadership they had. Guys like Dorsey, Hester, Steltz, Spears, Hunt and Mauck. We need more of that type of fiery leadership from our current players. When things got tough last November, I kept thinking we needed a Dorsey type to grab these guys by the face mask and get them going. No way should THIS team be losing by 21 to the likes of Ole Miss, or by 17 to Arkansas, or even by 14 to Alabama.
In that respect, the highlight reel is somewhat bittersweet.
