Never knew which side of the formation to line up on? Really? Just curious to how you know this?

Where you at the game? I was! Quinn blocked throughout the game. The disappointment is in the fact that the best receiver at the game was not thrown to. He dominated practice all week. But of course you are an expert I'm sure.....way to support a futuretiger! Go ahead, tell me how you made all state and sprung tons of TD's.

Great Work! Love watching the hype videos.

Tiger's Put Boot Up Arky's _ _ _!

Good Stuff. I like this. What about sticking with what you originally calculated and adding the variable TOP.

Points Scored / yards / minutes = Explosiveness of Offense or should we say Explosiveness of Team since Defensive points are in these numbers.

LSU would be fourth in the BCS top ten by using this equation. Right behind Oregon,Houston,Okie state.


Disclaimer - quick calculations here.

Punt return average is now down to probably.....4 inches.

LSU needs a bigass spot light like this and shine into the night sky on Saturday nights. Got chills just thinkin' about this.

Always look forward to the Pics. What about NIKE combat uniforms for the band and Golden Girls! Just Thinkin'. Possiblities?

You are right. JJ should start against Auburn. You know, since it makes no difference.

Got the chills reading this article. Can't wait for next week!

Thanks dreaux. I don't post often but I love to read the rant.

I feel compelled to write this. Easier after a win of this magnitude, of course, but here it is.

Many years ago, Saban - while at LSU - was recruiting a player at my high school. I was thrilled to meet him and asked him if I could show him something in my office that I was extremely proud of. He walked into my office and I began to describe the meaning behind a picture frame displayed proudly on my wall. I told the short-version story of how my dad, my brother and myself attended the LSU-Alabama game when LSU defeated Alabama for the first time in Tiger stadium in 30 years (The Irony). My brother ordered a picture from Tiger Rag showing an aerial view of Tiger Stadium and a huge arrow showing where I sat with my Dad and Brother. My ticket stub was framed with the picture. My brother gave it to me as a Christmas present. All tiger fans, I am sure, can appreciate this special moment when you can fondly remember an LSU game with your Dad and family members. I told Coach Saban this quick story and how special of a moment that was for me. I basically thanked him. He looked at the picture and without saying a word...walked out of my office. I felt as if I was just waisting his time.

Fast forward to a couple years ago. It was summertime and I was at a baseball field watching my son play ball. Word spread that at the park that extremely hot day was Coach Les Miles. Sure enough, he was there watching his son play baseball. He was wearing shorts, a soaking wet t-shirt and had his shoes off, feet propped up on the chain-link fence. I waited for his son's game to finish, and then approached him, greeted him, and made a small request. You see, it was Father's Day, and I asked Les Miles that if I got my dad on the phone, would he wish my dad a "happy father's day?" Coach Miles looked at me and with intensity said, "Get him on the phone." I began dialing. My dad answered, and I said, "Dad, someone wants to talk to you." I handed Coach Miles the phone and he introduced himself, wished my dad a Happy Fathers Day, and went on to hold a conversation with him.

This morning I personally understand why the players want to play for coach Miles. For the same reason that I personally want him to succeed...because my father and I mattered to him on that extremely hot and humid summer day.

I want the Tigers to win and I know his job is to make sure that happens. But, no matter what happens - win or lose, eating grass or not - I will always be a fan of Les Miles, the man.

The psychology behind the negatiger inherently exists in the evolution of the board - "the rant"
To "rant" is to defame, fume, rave, harangue. Psychology reveals this is normal human behavior - a simple normal distribution. Segments of the board's distribution are positive, segments are peacemakers and interest seekers, and, of course, some segments are negative - thus negatigers. Negative comments are healthy components to any message board. This forum allows people to vent and officially release thoughts that we all have during the game or after the game.

If you don't have this distribution, then the board would not be very engaging. I love the balance of this board. That is why we all make it one of the best boards in the country. Instead of throwing out our tv sets, we can just get on the "rant" and "rant".

I agree. It is time for an offensive scheme change to better suite our personnel and simplify. LESS is MORE. Paralysis by ANALYSIS comes to mind watching the keystone cop substitution patterns and illegal procedures that are obviously due to the hesitation with side-line checking and lack of rhythm from the play calling and confusion. We miss blocks, timing is off, etc.

Look what happened when we changed our defensive scheme.
