How Sweet It Is - Geaux Tigers


What a night. I am moving a tad this morning. Thanks Ohio State. You were a Quality Opponent and all I hear from LSU fans were how Classy and fun yall were in Nola.


I so wish I could have been there. I didn't have a extra $1500 Dollars laying around this year for the trip. However the pictures I have seen from the French Quarter Last Night looked awesome. There are of course a million stories on the net about Last night, the fans, the game, the players, and Les. However something caught my eye. If I had known Les had this up his sleeve , I think I would have made the 4 and half hour trip down to see it.. I saw this come over the net about 3:30 this morning:


NEW ORLEANS -- Prize in hand, Les Miles had one last thing to do when he left the Superdome. The LSU coach headed to Bourbon Street, walked onto a balcony and held the championship trophy for all to see. By National Writer Ben Walker.


Wow, I bet that was a moment. I am very much want a pic of this. Speaking of Les Miles in 3 years at LSU
