2007 Florida game. It was my freshman year and I didn’t have student tickets for because I thought I was going to be in the band and not need tickets. Bought some from another student, went to go in and they had already been used. Called my pops to let him know and he said “I don’t care how much it cost, you have to go to this game, buy a ticket from a scalper” bought myself one for a stupid amount of money, was all the way up in the top deck by myself surrounded by Florida fans. It “heavily misted”. The Stanford beating USC announcement. Hester being a monster and refusing to be stopped. All the shite talking Florida fans having their souls ripped out in the background 4th quarter. I don’t think I will ever be able to top it.

One of the few coaches I always pulled for unless he was playing us. Real leader, always straight up and genuine in a time where that is becoming harder and harder to find. Football just got a little less fun today.

The last line of the MSN article really puts the state of LSU football in perspective right now.

"As maligned as O’Brien has been, he likely will have some chances to “get right” in the upcoming weeks. Alabama shouldn’t have much trouble handling Tennessee, LSU, Mississippi State and New Mexico State.

But whatever issues the Crimson Tide are having on offense (and defense), they had better get them figured out by the time they finish the season against Arkansas and Auburn."

Buddy if you think that that all went down and the coaches didn’t know about it then I don’t know what to tell you. O has stretched the truth to some wild degrees this year but that was by far the most ridiculous one. Well, maybe second most after talking about how good the defense looked in the off-season.

When he wasn’t at the march? When it was obvious and noteworthy enough that it was making headlines that he wasn’t there with his team at a time when other coaches were marching/ holding events for their respective teams.

The fact that this is still an issue is so stupid. Regardless of your politics or O’s politics, if it’s important to your players then make them believe it is important to you too. I’ve never heard Saban speak a word about his politics or beliefs but when it came time for him to show up and stand in front of his team because something mattered to them, he did it because that’s how you lead and that’s how you get people to follow you. Case in point look at their team and look at ours. I’m sure there are other things in play but I know I’ve never even heard a whisper of Alabama’s team quit on that dude. “One team one heartbeat unless it’s politics and then make sure you make your beliefs heard even if they disenfranchise your players” is hard to get behind.

Dude is such a die hard LSU fan he doesn't even know that Marshall's first name is Terrace not Terrence...
