This whole thing ended on Poydras street some years ago, with my wife and I watching the game in opposite rooms (and speaking fewer than 100 words to each other over the following seven days).

As LSU fans, we know what type of results we should expect. Not because we are idiotically arrogant, it is because we know that hands down we produce the best football talent int the world. From NFL Hall of Famers, to Super Bowl MVP's, you'd be hard pressed to find a championship football team (college or pro) that isn't being impacted by someone on the field, born and bred in our home state.

This new era finds us blessed with three coaches with the three irreplaceable traits. You have strategical geniuses running the offense and the defense. At the same time being led by a head coach that could motivate a paralzed worm to jump into a fist fight. We literally couldn't be in a better position to win.

Please stop wondering if Canada's offense will work. His history should leave you no doubt. Im as confident in Canada, as I was in Aranda. Human beings are creatures of habit. If he produced at his previous stops, playing with lesser talent...imagine what we are about to witness tonight.

Aranda posted top defenses at Utah State and Hawaii. And was top 3 overall over a three year period at Wisconsin. So imagine what this D will look like in year two.

Lets look at last years four losses, and consider the offenses lack of a roll.

Wisconsin: Tumbleweed offense, yet we have the ball to win at the end and we literally throw away the game. Defense gave up 1 TD.

Auburn: Tumbleweed offense, we still had the ball on the last play to win. Defense didn't give up a TD.

Florida: improved offense; costly mistakes; Still had the ball on the last play to win; Guice admittedly goes the wrong way. and still almost scores. Defense gave up 1 TD.

Alabama: Give us 11 points, and we win. Meanwhile schools like Oklahoma, Ohio State, Clemson and Ole Miss hang 30 to 40+ on Saban-coached defenses. We are supposed to believe, they are impenetrable. Defense again 1 TD.

Point being, give us any type of creativity on offense, and we would have been undefeated last year. For the past 7 or 8 years, we would clinically lose in spite of our talent, and win in spite of our coaching. The stars have finally aligned. The fact that we flood the league with NFL talent, yet don't have the championship hardware to back it up, is a direct reflection on poor coaching (in-game strategy based coaching; this is not referring to one's ability to build great character people).

For all of his faults, Les was an easy guy to like. And even if you didn't like him, you kinda liked him. Though I loved my grandpa, he once told me that you had, "Two foot, and one feet... You have one teeth, and two tooths." I got all of my singular and plurals wrong on m homework the next day, and from that day forward, I never went to him again for help on my homework. Point being, just because I love you, doesn't mean I should blindly trust you.

And rest his soul, I probably love my grandfather more today then I did when I was a kid. Point being, I loved Les, but he barely held a fighters chance in any legit head to head coaching match up.

So with the past in the mind, and the future ahead of us. Rest assured that we have come to kick some a$$!

As mentioned in previous post, I'm mostly known throughout the New Orleans area for doing the Friday Night Football theme song over the past 10 years. Last year was my first year providing the stadium with some exclusive music. Which I shared here first on tiger rant.

Sadly, things got backtracked for me musically because the studio complex that i have used for over the past 15 years was destroyed during the flood last year. Things are back up and running, and this year I have done the same. Providing something exclusive for my alma mater (04'), and the only college football team I know and love.

Follow the link, and enjoy.

Saturday Night

The Saturday Night song is the most recent. The Baton Rouge and Aranda Rights are still available for free download as well.

Geaux Tigers!!
