LSU has armored itself against an upset by playing a style short on gimmicks and long on the systematic swallowing of opponents' souls.

That's why Les doesn't lose to teams he shouldn't. Teams actually have to go out and beat LSU; not many have or can.

LSU is a different animal, though. That animal is a tiger, and simply bringing a live big cat to practice, as Huskies coach Steve Sarkisian did this week, doesn't adequately simulate LSU. To provide the proper look, Sarkisian would have had to ask his offensive linemen to block the tiger.


This was the quote from Andy that got me laughing out loud. Great win by the Tigers. This team is very fun to watch.

This is a great description of what I watched in the second half last night.

that is pretty much a fact.


after 08, the mindset has clearly become defined and set in stone.

You may hang a lil bit (WKU last yr, La Tech 09) but in the end LSU's basic's will swallow the opponent whole

I told my buddy that when he kept asking why we didn't pass more in the second half. While I would have liked more live game practice, how demoralizing is it to a defense to have fresh legs relentlessly pounding and gashing them? Swallowing their souls is a pretty good description.

Good quote, basically what LSU does.

From the comments section: "I listen to puffery about the West Coast teams in wonderment."
