Offseason + baseball ending early.

Wait for my "which LSU players were the best left handed players with opposable thumbs" thread tomorrow.

Anthony Zehyoue

Patience? For three years he slogged around in the coal mine of the scout team. A walk-on. No meal money, no scholarship, just show up every day and get your butt kicked. For that, he had the right to call himself an LSU Tiger. A Tiger no one knew, but there was a certain amount of pride that went with the grunt work.

"He's a cool dude," said Dorsey, the All-American defensive lineman who has won more national awards this year than any Tiger in history. "He's always getting on me about all the accolades. We clown every day."

It's easier to clown now because Les Miles came up one day during fall drills and teased Zehyoue: He had some good news. Three days later, the lineman chased after his coach following a practice unable to wait any longer. "I sprinted him down," Zehyoue said. "He went ahead and told me the coaches really appreciated my effort and contributions to the team."

Scholarship, baby! Not only that, Zehyoue finally played -- a handful of snaps against Middle Tennessee and Louisiana Tech. He probably won't play in the national championship game but could get a ring, something he missed out on four years again. After first approaching Nick Saban's staff in 2003, Zehyoue was convinced he should wait until 2004. Meanwhile, he watched LSU win its first national championship in 45 years.
