Glad We Are Not Going to NIT - LagdonCG on 3/18/13 at 8:38 amThis is the losers tournament and we need to concentrate on getting to the big dance. LSU seems very tired and played a bit over its head for a while but not so hot right now.
I have never like the NIT and glad we are not going. Need to set the sights on winning the SEC and going to NCAA.

One of my favorite LSU Tigers...affectionately known as "Chew-Baca" by teammates.
I saw him hit a home run on top of the O"Connell center in Gainesville in Left Field......

Trindon Losing a Step? - LagdonCG on 1/13/13 at 8:08 amNever thought I would see a kicker almost catch him. Could have been the cold and extra clothing but the Trindon of old would have pulled away from that kicker kicking in "afterburner".
What a great night he had and Hester did a great job as well. Hope the Broncos sign him to a good contract.

LSU Getting New Rings? - LagdonCG on 1/8/13 at 4:15 amFor coming in second in West and 14th in NCAAF?
The #2 rings last year was the dumbest thing I ever heard a coach do....the players were offended.....and did not wear them.
Big time backfire!

LSU Preseason Rankng - LagdonCG on 1/7/13 at 4:31 pmIt was a consensus Number 1....I say in the 20s...due to the defections and since Miles will use the same old tired offense...and the defense will be much worse. Wasn't great this year by any means......
LSU Coaches at Convention - LagdonCG on 1/6/13 at 10:31 amThis is the mecca for coaching jobs and interviews. May go out to the convention this afternoon and get the "skinny" on what LSU is doing as I live in Nashville where the convention is being held.
My guess is that Miles will interview for an OC and has told Stud to not turn down any jobs.
I k...
UT may get Fulmer/Chavis Back - LagdonCG on 12/5/12 at 10:21 amSpeculation here is Nashville is that Gundy is playing Okie State and that Strong turned Tennessee down. That leaves Petrino and Fulmer available.
Fulmer said on TV here this week that he would accept job at Tennessee and have a staff together in a few days. Speculation that Jim Chaney would s...
Dan Patrick Rips Miles - LagdonCG on 11/29/12 at 8:16 amFor " cheating" on LSU. Said LSU has a contract that MIles should honor and not talk to other schools. Said LSU should tell Miles if this happens again, they will fire him on the spot and bring someone else in to coach LSU....
Auburn Investigation and Coaching Change - LagdonCG on 11/22/12 at 10:42 amYou have to think that even the mention of an NCAA investigation erases all the allure towards the Auburn job and the NC of 2010.
It would not surprise me for them to buy Chizek's slience by keeping him on one more year and firing Trooper Taylor who is reputed to be an unsavory character when it ...

Effect on TAF of Sale of The Shaw Group to Dutch Company? - LagdonCG on 7/30/12 at 10:16 amSad to see this but heard rumor last week. They gave lots of money to LSU and you have to think this might end. They have headquarters in USA in The Woodlands, TX but are out of the Netherlands.
I know LSU used their plane a lot as well....

The National Coverage of College Baseball is Pathetic - LagdonCG on 6/3/12 at 4:59 amWomen's basketball and softball gets better coverage. Looks like ESPN has cut way back on carrying games depute now having a ton of channels.
Finding a score is really difficult....this sucks!...

Hard to grow good turf here in Nashville with the winters and frozen field in early Spring.
Wonder if...

NFL Coaches Union on the horizon? - LagdonCG on 3/21/12 at 12:40 pmWould not surprise me. I do not condone what happened but Payton suspended for a year is a bit excessive to me....overboard in fact.
I do not think he has any recourse either....sad day for Saints......
2012 NFL Draft Ranking -QBs....JJ 13th ....JL 20th - LagdonCG on 2/14/12 at 5:54 pmhttp://walterfootball.com/draft2012QB.php
Looks like JJ is ahead of JL by quite a bit?????
I guess Les has been making some calls.....still think JL will be given a shot 5-7th round and JJ not drafted but will sign as FA with some team for camp...

Is Losing Davis About it for Steve Ensminger? - LagdonCG on 2/1/12 at 1:26 pmHe is our lowest paid coach and coaches TE and recruits North Louisiana. I have suspected he has been on a short leash for some time now and losing Davis might be it.......
