My Tigers Will Rock You

You may be wondering why I haven’t posted anything about my beloved LSU Tigers yet this football season. Well, believe it or not, today’s Gold game against Mississippi State will be the first game I’ve seen so far this season! The first game, vs. Appalachian State, was pushed forward and moved to one of the ESPN channels I don’t get due to the hurricane. The next week’s game was postponed to November, due to the damage caused by Gustav. The game vs. North Texas wasn’t televised (Notre Dame gets on TV no matter who they play or how many games they’ve lost, but heaven forbid the #5 ranked team in the nation should be on TV when they’re playing a team from another division—but I digress). Last week, I was at the awards banquet at the ACFW conference and thus missed the game against Auburn, which looked like a great game (and I had fifteen or twenty text messages on my phone from friends on both sides when I got back up to my hotel room!). So tomorrow, after I put in at least six hours of work on a couple of freelance projects, I’ll be watching LSU vs. Mississippi State, 6:30 p.m. on ESPN2.

Now, in tribute to “my boys,” here’s a little video I found on YouTube:
