i agree with george. they probably thought that espn would get wind of it and fans would be pissed at Les for not being honest. any loss and then finding out would have led to an uproar and a national media circus about les and an embarrassment of coach k. having said that, the disease is differen...

lsu hasn't lost a bunch of games under les miles, but the majority that they have lost was because they got beat in a battle royale by the better team. most of the rest, a la Kent. in 2007, they lost because they didn't come out ready, not because of the other teams won with emotion. arky and ole ...

Will our run d be better than last year?

i'm not worried about the corner and the edge, but the 1st two levels of the middle. i know pep wasn't the greatest, but can freak and brockers equal or surpass he and drake? is ferguson ready to contribute? whoever takes over the middle, they aren't as big as Kelvin and it would be unusual if the...

an opponent's emotion doesn't work on lsu, only hard grinding. oregon is not a grinding team and emotion can't carry them. lsu's emotion is the only emotion that can get lsu in trouble....

Jamie Howard got a free ride to LSU doing what he loved to do, supposedly. no telling all the finge beneifts he also received. hey, he practiced. in games, he lifted his arm up and threw the ball down the field, he handed off the ball. sometimes he even got tackled, but he always sweated a lot, all...

0-2 tds; i think we could dominate; or we could allow him to break loose for a good one; or he could get one hard-earned one; or he could get one on a break out and one hard-earned one. what i do not see is him breaking for two long ones or earning two the hard way. also, may be one in the heat of ...

i agree. i think they did it to "debunk" the "myth" that everybody is against the min. size limit. but everybody i know is against it including my father in law who has probably fished the basin over a thousand times in the last 40 years. at least with the Corps of Engineers, I can tell you that the...

my father in law is a badass. used to tournament fish and was successful. he and i fish during the middle of the week a lot, mostly not with each other. he has caught two limits this year and has probably fished 8 times in last month, all of tues-thurs afternoons. i have never caught more than 7 an...

:rotflmao:; NOBODY catches their limits most times they go out there... so, you really are a bass tourney fisherman. :rotflmao: for the record, i think they need to make it something like five over 12" and five over 14" or some combo like that. anyhow, the fish are looking a lot better this...

everybody i talk to that fishes in there does not support it. every comment i saw on la sportsman under the pics of the fish kills after gustav was critical of the size limit. hard to believe their poll numbers. something like 17.5% of repsondents said they were "tourny fisherman". taht seems high...
