#1 that guy took way too many english classes and it shows. he tries too hard when describing things.

#2 where did this guy eat crawfish? i think every northern writer who is doing a story on lsu has eaten them while tailgating.

That guy seems like a nerd in the wrong business... Not a great read. Did not really describe the game environment at all

That guy has to be the worst writer I've ever read... I could barely finish reading it I was so bored. No descriptive words at all, simply a play by play of his boring day.

remember, he's writing this for a British audience that doesn't know the first thing about American college football....

That's fine, but he shouldn't even have to say at the end that it's a must go for a sports fan... It should be evident in his writing. I didn't even know if he enjoyed his trip until he said so at the end. It isn't hard to write with descriptive words. His sentences were choppy and uncreative, his use of description was less that modest and even if people don't know the first thing about American football, he didn't teach a thing to the readers.

Pretty awful writing, actually. Wright Thompson he is not.

Minter was hooked on a screen pass right before half that started the TD drive.

Go re-watch that play.

Wow that joker is sent all the way here to write that crap. Bet he lost his job. I think he may have really been drinking the entire time and wrote that crap with a hangover like none other he has had on his way home.

The guy seems like a Horney old man. One paragraph explaining the deal about the kid going Alabama or whatever was stupid.

SVP is better

Saw a pic of someone serving boiled crawfish at their tailgate. No clue where they got them. A lot of those guys had étouffée or something else with crawfish in it and call it eating crawfish though
