I'm not saying anything went down... but just throwing it out there...

Me and my family walked over to the Hilton right before the team loaded the bus and rode over to the superdome. Let me just say, not ONE player looked up/ready for this game. While the players walked on to the bus and we the fans were cheering, going crazy, chanting "L S U", and just getting emotionally fired up for the game, I couldn't quite tell from the player's facial expressions if whether they were EXTREMELY focused, or if they're moms had just been shot and killed. They literally looked drained/lifeless. I specifically remember one player as he sat down on the bus, put his head down against the window and not even look out the window towards the crowd. Also, not but 3-4 players i remember out of the whole team as they boarded the bus glanced at us cheering. It was really odd. Almost spooky. I mean I don't expect them to be hootin and hollerin and making a big deal out it, but, it was NOT like what you usually see when the team walks down victory lane. They looked extremely tight or nervous, and didn't seem right at all.

Anyways, not saying or trying to fuel a rumor, but this just what i witnessed and thought i would share. Maybe someone else who was there would agree with


Sounds like a team full of freshman and sophmores playing in a national championship game with an undefeated season on the line. A lot of pressure on guys who were supposed to be a year away. Everyone-the coaches the players and the fans-seemed uptight to me. Hopefully this will motivate them and not turn them off on the coaches.

Dreaux said the same thing during pre game warmups. Im up here in Montana and thinking, maybe Dreaux just missied something. This is the crystal ball, national championshiop they got to be fired up. Dreaux was so right. My wife who hardly knows sports much less football. She says to me after the first run back. "Doesnt even look like he's running full speed and he was tackled so easy." I don know what was up but someting. I would hate to think that we were just scared.
