Looking Ahead (Kind of)

PrintI haven’t written word one about the Mississippi State game for two reasons:
ONE. I’m not going to see the game. I’m going to Austin City Limits this weekend. I’ll tape the game but I won’t get to see it until I know the outcome, so it’s hard to get jacked up about a game I won’t see.
TWO. We own Mississippi State.
This isn’t a We Rule And They Suck post. We owned Mississippi State when they were the better team. Even Curly Hallman beat MSU. I don’t get it. We have some sort of voodoo hex over them. LSU’s won eight straight over MSU. LSU’s won 15 of the last 16 games. And the last seven games have been absolute blowouts. The 31-13 win in 2002 was the close one. The second closest game was 37-7 in 2005.
It’s just not interesting.
Hell, their one win in the last 16 years was on a controversial call. Here’s the thing. The call didn’t even bother me. My reaction was “Hey, let them have one.” That’s a bad sign for a rivalry. If that had been Bama, even if it was Ole Miss, I’d be angry. But I wasn’t.
So we have another game against Mississippi State. I’m hoping they give us a game, but not too good of a game. Then again, I won’t be watching.

what up poseur, just wanted to say that I can’t get hyped for the game for the same reasons. I’ll be at ACL and won’t be leaving until after Beck. I know there is an LSU fan viewing party at Lavaca Street Bar. I plan on going after ACL and celebrating with LSU fans another LSU victory. I’ll either be in a purple tie dye lsu shirt or a collared nike gameday shirt. HOLLA
I’m thinking about skipping Beck (I’ve already seen him) to watch the game. But if there is a viewing party, I might show up for that. I’ll bring my Matt Mauck/ Jacob Hester/ Richard Dickson jersey to change into in the car.
Saturday’s lineup is stacked. But I think I’m gonna end it on the Black Keys and then check out the second half of the LSU game.
Not that you care, but here’s my personal lineup of shows on Saturday:
Fleet Foxes, the Fratellis, Drive-by Truckers, Man Man, Erykah Badu, MGMT, John Fogerty, and the Black Keys. at 8:30, I make the call of Beck or the fourth quarter of LSU-MSU. I’m most excited about DBT and Man Man back to back. If you’ve never seen Man Man, you really ought to. They are insane.
