Dear Les,

We're all very proud of the way the team is progressing and look forward to a fantastic 2nd half of the season.

There does remain some big hurdles which need to be addressed moving forward. Obviously, BAMA game will be one of the largest in the history of our program and have a significant impact on the SEC & BCS championship races. My request to you and the rest of the players, administrators and fans is to do whatever it takes to beat Arkansas this year and every year. Whatever the reason, we have repeatedly slept the week of this game and performed poorly against an inferior opponent. I beg you to curb the Thanksgiving celebrations and work through the holidays. The game is too important to overlook year after year. It was literally a miracle that we got to the NC game in 2007 after losing to these clowns. We have been favored in the game for the past 10+ years and still have a crummy record against these guys. Last year it cost us at least $13 million and the Sugar Bowl berth. Bottom Line: Find a way to be focused for this damn game and if it means forgoing Thanksgiving so be it. The team has proven every year that they do not respond to this game. Please do the right thing and beat the crap out of the Pigs like we should every year. It;s not a rivalry and we should win 80-90% of the time.

the money the team gets for their bowl is split b/t all the SEC teams evenly! If we were in Sugar and ARKY to Cotton, LSU makes same money in the end! Costs might differ but nearly the same!

LAST 10 games Lsu has won 6 and Ark 4. That is a crappy record.

You do know that most of that Sugar Bowl money is split by all of the SEC teams.

Your letter touches my heart sir. I am unfortunately stuck in Little Rock for the next year and a half. I've already been here a year and a half and last season's loss has made life even worse than it normally would be living here. Please get this letter to Les!
