I found this shirt in my parent’s coat closet & thought I should wear it for today’s Iron Bowl. I’m not normally an Auburn supporter, but I’m always a Tide hater. Go Tigers!

LSU vs Florida
I made a quick trip to Louisiana this weekend and was able to catch the LSU-Florida game. My good friend Dave called me on Thursday to tell me that he scored a ticket for me. While I already had planned to make the trip to attend a wedding with Blanche, this news changed everything!
Number 1 ranked Florida came to town to play Number 4 ranked LSU, which made for the first top 5 matchup in Tiger Stadium in 50 years. The game had been sold out for weeks and the campus was crawling with more people than I had ever seen. We arrived on campus early enough to tailgate, and were also lucky enough to have the connections to get into a VIP tailgate party and eat well before entering the stadium. Our seats were great – 2nd row above Florida’s entrance tunnel. There was lots of yelling at Tebow, Meyer and all of the other Gators.
The only thing that could have made the game better would have been an LSU win.
Can't wait for Friday…
LSU has been ruling the scene in Omaha at the College World Series since they've arrived. I expect nothing less from them on Friday as they prepare to play the winner of the Arkansas/Virginia game. And yes, LSU has already beaten both of these teams this past week. If they win on Friday, they will play in the Championship. Geaux!
The ABCs of LSU Football
Every young child learns their ABCs as they grow up. They are the foundation of all education, and no child can learn anything without first mastering them. The same goes for any LSU Tiger: Just learning the lore of Death Valley or the correct way to pronounce "Geaux." is fundamental. The ABCs of LSU football are also a strong foundation of your fanhood. A is for Alabama, a hated rival. B is for Billy Cannon, our Heisman winner. C is for Championships, in which we have three. D is for Death Valley, where teams fear to play. E is for Earthquakes, for which our stadium has caused. F is for Fans, the best in the nation. G is for Geaux, means go; it's as simple as that. H is for the Hat, he has our back. I is for World War I, the only event to stop an LSU season (1918). J is for Joe Alleva, our Athletic Director. K is for Kentucky, home of the Blue Grass Miracle. L is for Les Miles, the head coach of our team. M is for Mike the Tiger, he is always on the prowl. N is for Nick Saban, foe once friend. O is for Ole Miss, they can "Geaux to Hell." P is for Pros, we have produced many. Q is for Quick, you have to be in the SEC. R is for Reed, first name Josh, our only Biletnikoff Award winner. S is for Southeastern Conference, where we are charter members. T is for Tailgating, won't find any better. U is for Undefeated in the BCS. V is for Victories, we have 701. W is for White, the color of our HOME uniform. X is for 10 (X), the number of SEC Championships we own. Y is for Yard Lines, we mark every five. Z is for Zydeco, the songs of the south. Now you know your ABCs, next time won't you cheer with me? GEAUX TIGERS!
What's going on… Tuesday
1. U2's new album, No Line On the Horizon, is out now – and they're playing live on Letterman ALL WEEK! …nice.
2. I watched the very first Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night as he moves into Conan O'Brien's former slot. He's no Letterman or Conan – but hopefully he'll improve with time.
3. LSU Football has scheduled home-and-home games against West Virginia beginning in 2010. It's about time we play BCS teams of another conference. Hopefully we'll add a Big 12 or PAC-10 game in the near future.
4. LSU Basketball is ranked in the top 12 and is the regular season SEC champs. LSU Baseball is #1 in all the polls. What a great time to be a Tiger.
5. I registered to run a 5K – Komen Race for the Cure later this month. I'm not a marathon runner by any means but I try to jog a few times a week. I guess I'll find out just how much running I can handle when I show up for this race.
