Living in Texas now, I can tell you that most of the casual, bandwagon A&M fans around here seem to remember Johnny Football and the Aggies beating us last year. They beat everyone last year.

Good post, TigerCard. Apparently your two biggest problems are: (1) you did not know personal information about a former Tiger football player's biological father before you read about it in SI, and (2) you posted something about an article that interested you, even though you were not the first to read it or post something about it. Shame on you. The Rant is hard core.

Lobo: More credibility than someone with 10,000 posts. Thanks for the info. Let's see what happens.

I agree that your average college football fan will not be very excited about a rematch. I can't imagine a boycott, but interest would probably be down. But to answer your questions:

1. Most LSU fans don't care whether anyone else watches.

2. Most SEC fans don't care whether anyone else watches.

3. Bama is the second best team, and it's not even close. There are human pollsters all over the country voting Alabama No. 2. They are not part of the monopoly. And they are not just doing what Les tells them to do.

4. For all of those who "lost respect" for Les for saying he would welcome a rematch with Bama, there is no good way to answer that question other than the way he did.

5. Finally, if Oregon and Stanford were voted to play for the title, I suspect we would all be complaining about the schedule they played, and I don't hear anyone saying that about LSU's schedule this year.

Have I answered all of your questions?

This is not about whether it rains in Tiger Stadium. Obviously, from half the posts, it does. We've all been to games where it rains. My first game as a freshman at LSU, it started to drizzle and I made a comment about it. An old man walking to the game told me that it never rained on Tiger Stadium, and I heard that several more times before kickoff. To me, it is a fun tradition, one of many. And being older myself now, I take every chance to tell the younger fans that it never rains on Tiger Stadium. To me, it is not stupid. Just another fun tradition.

I like that. I think I'll start using it.

But under this theory, Mett would not be the starter next year. Next year, we will have a different QB with two years of eligibility left, so he will get the start. Right?

Best. First. Post. Ever.

If you are talking about Friday night, do not spend it in Arlington. Dallas or Fort Worth are your options. Either one will be great.

Thank you for your reminder about how easy it is to forget what it was like to be 18, 19 or 20. Your point about being judged on you most embarrassing moment really hit home with a lot of people.  Very thought-provoking article, very well written, and something that really needed to be said.  And you said it in a way that most could not.  Best of luck.

Thank goodness there were no cell phone video cameras back when I was at LSU. I've been in a few bar fights, but they were soon forgotten, with no lawsuits and nobody pressing charges. And did some other stupid, embarrassing things in college. I somehow went on to find a good job, become a good husband and father. Thank goodness I am not forever judged by most embarrassing, stupid moment in college.
