I had us at 9-3 and we can still get there and win 10 games by winning our bowl game.

Quote from ESPN :

"Shepard is much further along as a passer than Terrelle Pryor was at this stage, and Shepard is more explosive. He's the type of player any college program would want to get his hands on the ball as often as possible because he is a gamebreaker. He will be given every opportunity to remain at quarterback, but also has the elite skills to play a number of spots which gives him possibly the biggest value of any prospect in this class."

Since I am coming to you from the great state of Texas this morning that is where I will concentrate!

LSU currently has commitments from the following Texas ballers on Rivals:
#2 Russell Shepard QB
#15 Dexter Pratt RB
#19 Stavion Lowe OL
#21 Michael Brockers DE

As of 11/20/08 LSU is still listed as being in on the following Texas ballers:
#1 Jamarkus McFarland DT
#4 Craig Loston S
#8 Christine Michael RB
#45 Toben Opurum RB

LSU signed the following kids from the 2008 Texas Rivals list:
#16 Chancey Aghayere DE
#50 Kevin Theriot Ath
#58 Kyle Prater LB
#75 Thomas Parsons OL

LSU signed these 2007 Texas ballers:
#2 Terrance Toliver WR
#20 Jarvis Jones OL
#21 Ron Brooks Ath
#25 Jarret Lee QB
#56 Alex Russian TE

LSU signed these 2006 Texas ballers:
#35 Matt Allen OL
#53 Danny McCray DB
#65 Jason Teague DB

LSU signed these 2005 Texas Ballers:
#18 R J Jackson Ath
#28 Ciron Black OL
#32 Brandon Lafell WR
#63 Kyle Anderson TE

Most of these good Texas kids will be back playing for the Tigers next year!

LSU recruits Texas as well as any out of state school other than Oklahoma, which has no choice as they only have three or four good payers of their own each year.

Oh, by the way we are also in on 21 of the 38 Texas players on Rivals 2010 list!
No rankings yet, but here they are:
Ross Apo WR
Tyler Arndt QB
Taylor Bible DT
Carrington Byndom DB
Aleon Calhoun DL
DeAires Cotton DT
Dominic Espinosa OL
James Haynes Ath
Toney Hurd Jr. DB
Jefferson Jeffcoat DE
Kevin Johnson WR
Naqiam Lee QB
Shaun Lewis LB
Holmes Onwukaife DE
Lache Seastrunk RB
Darius Terrell WR
Adrian White DB
Darius White WR
Reggie Wilson DE
Conner Wood QB

LSU will always recruit well in Texas. That is a given.

Geaux Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been a LSU football fan my whole life and would have never thought I would live to see my Tigers win TWO National Championships.

2-0 in BCS NC Games...Talk about taking advantage of your opportunities.

LSU GOLDEN BAND FROM TIGERLAND IS RANKED #1!


LSU TIGER BAND WINS THE ESPN/PARAMOUNT PICTURES "BATTLE OF THE BANDS"!

Possibly the best college coach. Honest, loyal, family oriented...these are all adjectives that could be used to describe Les Miles. They definitely are not words one could use to describe most other coaches in the SEC. Did I mention the man has guided his team to more victories in his tenured time span than say... Bear Bryant.

You know what, when you think about what this conference has done since 20001 and 02, I can truly say I will be more proud of a 4th place finish in our conference than a championship in all the others..We may be down, but like all great champions, NOT FOR LONG

Fun Facts about the History of Mike

In 2005, a new $3 million habitat was created for Mike. The Tiger Athletic Foundation (TAF) raised funds, entirely from private sources, to subsidize the construction project. The habitat features state-of-the-art technologies and includes among its amenities lush plantings, a waterfall, a flowing stream that empties into a wading pond, and rocky plateaus. The new habitat ranks among the largest and finest Tiger preserves in the country and expanded Mike's home from 2,000 to 15,000 square feet. It also features research, conservation, and husbandry programs, as well as educational, interpretive, and recreational activities. Mike's new home can be viewed via the live Tigercam.[19]
