Hoosier BYU Fan

There are 8 games on our schedule where we will do to the other team what you did to us.

There are four more games where we better find some heart and fight for to have a chance.

So we'll have 8 wins, go to some crappy pre-Christmas bowl, and then rinse and repeat next year.

Never seen an opponent do that to BYU. Here is where I wrong going into the game when I said:

"LSU isn't bigger and stronger."

BYU has almost always been able to match physicality no matter who they were playing. Last night was one of the hardly evers.

I will hate to my dying day that we responded to your 12 and 13 personnel groupings with only 5 or 6 guys in the box. It was dumbfounding that we didn't sell out and dare Etling to keep the ball in his hands.

That said, LSU fans have reason to be excited about their team. Their offense got a defense that never gave up for four quarters to break in a new scheme against. I will be proud of our D for not giving up and having some wins in the game.

BYU was crap. LSU was not. Respect your fans for getting the place filled as much as it was with three days notice. Don't care if one drunk kid flipped off our players. The overwhelming majority of LSU fans were a great bunch. I enjoyed the banter here on tigersroppings. Hope that our teams can schedule games in the future. I'd love to see a game in Baton Rouge and BYU has a venue/backdrop second to none.

Have a fun year, Tiger fans. I'm gonna go grab another Sprite to cry into before boarding my flight.

Can you please explain why you are still flying to Houston?

Sure.

I am scheduled to fly to India on Sunday. Planned the game trip to combine with this work trip. Cash in miles to get to Houston one-way, and then purchase my business trip with its origin city being Houston.

Have tried for the past week to change the origin city for my work trip to Indianapolis and drop the one-way miles cash in to Houston. They said they would do it, but only to the tune of over $4,300. Only if the flights are cancelled can I make a change without the fare penalty.

Been following IAH's twitter account and they opened up for limited flights Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 PM. All roads into and out of the airport are clear except one. Both itineraries are still set to run as originally scheduled.

This all could change at a moment's notice and I have to rebook things in a matter of minutes, but for now I will have about 24 hours in Houston minus a 4 hour sojourn in NRG Stadium. We'll see what happens.

As for coming back after the game, I'll make sure I have a spoonful of sugar...just in case.

It's been fun, gents. All the unknowns disappear tomorrow, and I will be back win or lose. Having watched BYU in these types of games for close to 30 years, can I offer some pregame parting advice?

When LSU finds themselves in a big boy fight against a team that won't roll over like a directional Louisiana school, you will have the inclination to enter your nuclear launch codes.

Don't.

LSU isn't bigger. LSU isn't stronger. LSU is certainly faster, but even that gap is not as wide as the hype machine would proclaim. And that's before injuries and suspensions. BYU is a top third P5 level program. This isn't a Sun Belt team. This isn't a MAC team. This isn't a CUSA team. If Stanford and Cal didn't hate Mormons (or any religion, really), we'd be 25 year members of the Pac 12 already.

I'm not saying BYU will win, but I am saying that all of you predicting 42-3 type scores in LSU's favor are the exact collection of ignorant, swamp dwelling buffoons devoid of any sort of football knowledge that I had hoped you wouldn't be.

Take my advice and be ready to watch a fight for a full four quarters tomorrow night.

To everyone travelling by car or airboat or whatever, wish you nothing by safety. I'll be the one you can hear cheering for BYU all the way from Houston.

When viewing a game, you just watch where the ball goes, don't you?

Awesome...a fellow football fan who can watch a game and actually see what's happening!

Yes, only two running plays were called all game. A receiver went in motion only twice the entire game: once for a 1st down, once for a touchdown.

Will the fact that BYU went vanilla help them in any way? No one knows. Just like no one knows if your offense will be sharp or shite.

y'all have nothin' to worry about.

Talk about crapping the bed and smearing it all over yourself.
