I guess he won't be playing then.

Jesus Christ, I didn't think I could get more excited than I was.

I'm ready to tackle my elderly secretary.

As fans, we MUST make this a special atmosphere. We must inspire our team without fail for sixty minutes. We must carry them through the adversity and over the obstacles.

If we were Ole Miss, we would probably be having one made to hang a banner for 1959.......

Wow, that article is almost too gushing...almost.

Now...the fans need to live up to that hype. I'm looking at you fans between the 35 yard lines.

When talking about the big difference in our success during night time games and day games, no one seems to factor in the fact that our day games are day games because of tv and tv isn't going to telecast us playing weak competition. So our day games are usually high quality opponents while, other than the games televised on ESPN and this rare CBS prime time game, the rest of our night time competition is not always top flight.

We're going to see a different Tiger team come Saturday night -- a very different team. The crowd will be insane. And we'll see the LSU players respond the way they usually do when it gets dark down on the bayou

Huh? This fact is frequently discussed.

But even in BIG games, we fare better at night. Florida 07, Florida 97, Auburn 01, Auburn 03, Auburn 07, Virginia Tech 07, Tennessee 00, MSU 00, etc. etc. etc. In fact, the only night game disappointments that I recall in the last decade are Bama 02 and Tenn 05.

You know, for a Florida alumn, I would expect you to show bias to the swamp. HOWEVER, if you're going to say the swamp is better than DEAF VALLEY, show some respect. DEATH VALLEY would be the nickname of Clemson's stadium, although the only death going on around there these days is Clemson's team, not the opposition.

Deaf Valley has the opprotunity this weekend to break the decibel record for a public attended event, including concerts, games, and verdict ensued riots. ha ha.

The record either belongs to a WHO concert back in the day or a football game at the University of Washington's stadium. I've also seen the LSU/UF game in Baton Rouge from 07 up there as well. Supposedly, that one actually got a reading on the richter scale. Impressive.

I think the record will be beaten for the decibel count this year, easily. And maybe even more so if Tebow does in fact play.

Needless to say, I'm ready for one helluva game.

Good luck to both teams.

Gig em!


Gotta love this moron Aggie incorrectly correcting the gator fan.
