PrintThe ATVS family celebrated the open week by going to the Birmingham Zoo this morning. It was cold and windy, but we had a good time. Because of the cold, hardly anyone was there. Little Miss ATVS got to ride the zoo train and a carousel. I touched a goat. Lots of monkeys were on display.
This, I suppose, can be an open thread for the action of today.

Bye week
It’s not a bye week for Mrs. ATVS.
Right now I’m watching Purdue try to cough up a big lead to OSU, despite the fact that Tressell decided to kick a field goal on 4th & goal from the 2 while down 16 with 10 minutes remaining.
It's a bye-morning for Mrs. ATVS..
and that sounds really stupid of Tressell. He should lose.

Purdue responded with a FG of their own a couple minutes later, so OSU got the ball again, still down 16, but with under 8 minutes. Doh!
I say Purdue was trying to blow the lead because they did give up a quick score to cut the lead to 8, but they just stopped OSU on 4th down with a little more than 2 minutes remaining.
If this holds, LSU will probably jump OSU in the polls, for what it’s worth. Then again, Iowa may jump us since they are now 7-0.
In SEC land
MSU leads MTSU by 14 with 7 minutes to go.
UGA leads Vandy by 17 with 11 minutes to go. UGA got embarrassed by TN last week, so they really need this game (and we need it too so that our win at UGA doesn’t turn into “no big deal.” Vandy clearly isn’t the joke of a team they have been most of my lifetime, but their record is reflecting it again. Instead of being woeful losers, they are competitive losers.
tnstead of woeful users, they are competitve losers...
only one constant in there Chuck…
but they are also rich losers, since they had the sense to stay in the SEC, unlike TU and GT.
cold zoo days
My most memorable zoo experience was going to the San Antonio zoo with my girlfriend (now wife) on a cold wet winter day. I’m not sure why we went in that weather but it was awesome. We saw very few of the outdoor mammals like the big cats and primates but we practically had the entire zoo to ourselves and had a blast.
Ark gane
The refs were atrocious. Ark got the short end of the stick.

Man, I sure was pulling for Arkansas and South Carolina this weekend.
I think Florida stole Les Miles lucky stick before the game we played against them last week as it seemed everything went Florida’s way and look at yesterday against Arkansas. Two missed fieldgoals by Arkansas which would have made the difference in the game and Florida gets lucky and kicks field goal with 9 seconds left.
South Carolina did not fair as well against Alabama, but both Alabama and Florida struggled. The SEC is definitely the most solid division. Each team can beat another team on any given day if they come to play. I also noticed alot of weaknesses in both Alabama and Florida yesterday which proves to me that if LSU will study they can take advantages of their weak areas when they play them. Arkansas is going to be a very tough game for us. They are a very good football team. Their record does not do them justice as they are a much better team than their record says.
On closing, what about those Saints? Nice to see them playing some solid football. Would love to see them go all the way and win a superbowl before my days are over….
Boo at the Zoo
Rich,
My family and I participated in the “Boo at the Zoo” in Baton Rouge this weekend. This Bye week turned out to be a blessing to LSU and my family at the same time. Beautiful, cool weather, and zoo animals will make a family happy.
I am re-energized for the rest of the season.
