LSU



I got a chance to go back and watch the LSU-Bama game from start to finish, and man is that Tiger bunch resilient. 14 penalties, key turnovers, letting Bama score 24 unanswered. But they just kept coming. Bama scored to make it 27-17 and that place went crazy. Then with one pass to Byrd, it was a field goal game again. Later when faced with the 4 and 4 play, Flynn found Doucet and it was tied. Go back and watch that throw. For a QB that had had a bad day, that's a clutch bit of chunking. Then, of course, the defense made the last play and set up the winning TD. But keep one word in mind as they go along...discipline. They have committed some bonehead penalties this year, and if they get to the Championship game, that kind of stuff could cost them. But they always give you good drama. One thing we know, though: Ohio St. does not lack for discipline. But there's a long way to go. Next week, Michigan has their shot to really mess with the BCS.

Les Miles is awful. He's going to end up costing them a game before the season is done. He's already living on borrowed time with some of the bonehead decisions he's made in numerous games this season.

By the way, I really miss you and Kevin in the afternoon/evenings. I used to listen on the drive home and while cooking dinner for me and my girlfriend. It was one of the most informative, fun sports talk shows I've experienced.
