they just won the Superbowl for Christs sake......let me repeat that. The SAINTS...just won the Superbowl


and let me repeat .. LSU has been pretty fricking good for the last 10 years and has won two national championships .. how do the saints trump LSU in BR all of a sudden ?

quote:

and i don't know who you're talking to but everyone i know is pumped. Im taking off work so i can make the trip back down to Louisiana so i can watch the game with my brother and friends.


i just guess we talk to different people apparently .. i am in business here in BR and shoot the shite with a lot of people in the business community ..

Don't know where you are getting this feeling from, but there are a lot of Tiger fans anxiously awaiting this game to prove to the rest of the nation that LSU should not be picked fourth in the West

It's a big-time BCS-level OOC opponent, and it's in Atlanta.

I assure you the hype and anticipation are there.

there are Saints fans in Baton Rouge. Obviously you're not one of them.

I couldn't even tell you who the Saints were playing but I have all the games for LSU committed to memory. I have heard nothing but LSU talk for the last two weeks. You must be hanging out with NO people.

I'm not sure who's not pumped...I ordered our 20 foot waterslide and starting making the grocery list last week. It's all I'm worried about this whole week.

Rag, I must admit I am not nearly as excited this year as most. Can't really explain it other than doubt about coaching. I will be crazed by Saturday, however.

Everyone already knows deep down what is going to happen this year. They may not admit it but they know. Leslie will once again disappoint.

I'm as excited as ever to see the tigers play....but I have to admit, having the first two games as away games has my spirit dampened a little....doesn't seem like the season will start for another few weeks to me...
