Good Bye Holy Father Hello LSU's Mike the VI

I afraid it is time we say good bye to this inspiring picture of the Holy Father that was in my header for a tad.




This picture was from a few weeks ago. The Holy Father had been attacked by leftist University Students in Rome and the vast Italian Masses came out in support of him the next Sunday.

However!!!!

LSU Spring Football practice has started where many Louisiana Boys and Girls(we are all young at heart) whether Catholic or the poor Heathen Protestant starts dreaming of what could be come the fall

In It Never Rains in Tiger Stadium by John Ed Bradley he recounts those hot hot Louisiana days practicing and what Coach Mac Said:

the uniform hurt when you put it on. On Tuesday you wished somebody would escort you out into the high weeds on the other side of the levee and shoot you dead and let the river wash you out to sea. We ended Tuesday with twenty minutes of team offense and another hard round of conditioning, the coaches having to scream louder now to get us to run.

"Will the damn thing never come?" I yelled one day, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"What thing?" Coach Mac asked.

"Saturday. I want it to be Saturday."

"Only trying to make you better."
He sat in the shade of his golf cart, watching from the middle of the field, so we had to run around him and waste more energy.

"Only doing this because we love you. Don't think about yourself. Think about the people of the great state of Louisiana. They're counting on you. Every last one of them is counting on you."
The governor was counting on me. The rednecks in the northern part of the state were counting on me. The Cajuns in the south were counting on me. The black people and the Creoles were counting on me. The Asians and the Hispanics were counting on me. The Catholics and the Baptists and the Jews and the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Hare Krishnas -- even the nondenominationalists were counting on me. Under the stars in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night, we were all the same.

"Can't let the people down, buddy. Can … not … let … them … down …"

So we have to support them!!!



Last night before they hit the practice field today they went to the Governor's Mansion. Here is the story and vid
