 | LSU vs. UGA in 2004 - The_Pistol on 10/21/12 at 3:58 pm Coming off a national championship season, Nick Saban took his team on the road to play a talented team, a team largely comprised of the same players he had been embarrassed the year before on his march to glory. Early into the ensuing season, this talented team appeared to be still suffering a han...

 | LSU Defensive Speed - The_Pistol on 3/22/12 at 2:46 pm With Hatcher and Francois running a near 5-second 40 yd-dash, is there any doubt that the front 7 will be overall faster in '12 than it was in '11?
It's also surprising the Baker ran a 4.88 at the combine.
With the exception of Claiborne/Simon and possibly Taylor/Loston, the defense will be as f...

Wegner, a Florida native, was granted a 6th year of eligibility by the NCAA but decided to transfer to UF only after Notre Dame refused to medical...

Nobody necessarily wants a rematch in the NC game. But what if the first matchup were undecided? If the Nov. 5 Clash of Titans game is called as a tie late in the 2nd half due to ...

 | Public Service Announcement - Getting drunk at a game - The_Pistol on 9/15/11 at 2:49 pm It's no surprise that LSU fans as a collective whole love to drink at football games. And according to researchers at the University of Minnesota, getting drunk at the ol' ballpark and hopping in your car to drive is like a national pastime.

 | LSU's smashmouth identity has historical strengths and weaknesses (long) - The_Pistol on 9/6/11 at 1:12 pm Now that Week 1 is behind us, there's no doubt about LSU's identity. LSU is the bare-knuckled pugilist of the 1920's, built to brawl, bleed and bruise the opponent for as many rounds as it takes for that man to drop.
LSU will win with a punishing defense, a strategic punting game, and a grinding...
