Pretty Awesome Vid Of Mike Pregame On the Score Board(excellent quality)
Time to let the LSU/Florida game go and focus on Kentucky. A few final thoughts. First great write up on what the LSU gameday is like and what makes it so special. Awesome write up at the always good Every day is Saturday here(warning as always his posts are a tad explict and adultLanguage etc so you have been warned :). However he gets a feel of the place so I am putting it on here. Two great parts:
"On Friday night, a quick drive around the campus confirmed our suspicions. It felt like a tour of a war camp of some unnamed guerilla army on maneuvers. Figures moved under trees in black silhouette against Christmas lights that read “LSU” across the front. Cars prowled, sniffing out prime real estate for tents. Televisions flickered behind the mesh of screen netting. People crawled all over the campus a full 24 hours before gametime. At Florida, show up at 12 p.m. for an 8 p.m. game, and you may tailgate anywhere you like; at LSU, show up at noon, and you may park in Slidell and take an airboat into campus.
Again: patients are left on the operating table sometime around late Thursday. That’s how devoted LSU fans in full flood are to tailgating.".."The tiger is real.
You know that there’s a live tiger on campus at LSU. And that they parade it around before games. And that you’re going to see it. But seeing it registers the lunacy of the whole event at a level that only the visual can really deliver: it’s a live god***** tiger in its own bizarre cage/car, staring out at all the fresh meat it could possibly ever want from behind mesh and generally looking very, very unimpressed with the whole affair.
The crowd loses all sense when it arrives, bringing LSU pregame out of the realm of mere “pep” and into a conflation of sport and primitive totem worship. .....Tiger Stadium is proxy Mardi Gras. Something cuts Tiger Stadium loose from the fetters of reality. Perhaps it’s the brown liquor buzz peaking with the setting of the sun, or the lurid dark purple the sky turns just as the sun is sliding beneath the horizon, or the combined and complete attention of 92,000 people all focused on one communal point of attention. We’ve read about the intangibles of playing in a place like Tiger Stadium before–the vague “something” described alternately as “special,” “different,” or “MY GOD I’M NOT GETTING OUT OF HERE ALIVE”–and scoffed. We scoff no more. It’s real, live, and tangible enough to hang your freshly slaughtered baby alligator carcass on in a pinch. (We met a tailgater who, in festive fashion, had slaughtered a baby alligator that morning in order to prepare it for the tailgate. Tiger meat’s a bit harder to come by
Great stuff. Thoughts on the game. First Tebow is the most footaball player I have seen. Wash Rinse and repeat. Second, The Florida Gators are going to be SCARY next year. I mean like horrific scary. God help us all in the SEC. Third Coach Miles is awesome. That was not rash gambling we saw on the field but very savy game day coaching.
Jacob Hester Winning TD
Fourth, if the Heisman truly meant anything Jacob Hester would be in contention. He represents and has represented on and off the field what that award is all about.
Coach Miles with the Future Starting QB of LSU in the background.
Fifth, Ryan Perriloux will be a awesome QB and will be a great STARTER NEXT YEAR. He is learning what team is all about and Coach Miles is teaching him well.
Finally it is great to be a Tiger and we should enjoy the the "now" while we can. As the the tale goes of ancient Rome and the slave that would whisper one thing into the Conquering hero ear when they returned triumphant to Rome "All Glory is Fleeting" On that note though let end with this.
Awesome sounds and scenes of the Crowd when the the final Score of the USC/Stanford Game was announced.
