2009 Capital One Bowl Invitation Press Conference
As you are no doubt aware, LSU will face Penn St. in the Citrus Bowl. A few PSU fans have stopped by to say hi. They've even put together a ridiculously early look at the game.(I swear, we are never gonna live down that Les Miles gatorade pic) Be a good neighbor and go visit. Try and find out what in the world a Nittany is.
McCarthy Watch continues, but no charcoal smoke has been emitted from Mike's tower yet. As for the story within the story, The Rev has issued the weakest non-apology apology I've read in a while. Something tells me they still trust their anonymous source...
Frank Wilson officially joined the coaching staff on Monday, though no word on whether or not he will coach in our bowl or Tennessee's (Peach on New Year's Eve vs. Va Tech). And although Porter is already recruiting for Memphis, he has been asked to coach for LSU one last time.
- 1st team: OT Ciron Black
- 2nd team: WR Brandon LaFell; CB Patrick Peterson; S Chad Jones
- Honorable Mention: All-Purpose Trindon Holliday
2 good recruiting pickups this week. Frank Wilson's first recruiting contribution is Hahnville RB Alfred Blue who was leaning towards Tenn. or Ole Miss. Next, the Tigers gave an offer to Parkview Baptist punter Brad Wing, an Australian exchange student who is still in his first ever season of Gridiron. He had pretty good stats in the semi-final win over E.D. White last week. That makes 25 recruits for the 2010 class, Dandy Don has a full list.
Volleyball dropped a heartbreaker on Sunday to the Aggies in 5 sets, ending their postseason. It was a great season that saw 3 Lady Tigers make the All-SEC first team, including SEC POY Brittnee Cooper, and Coach Fran Flory picked up the SEC COY award. And at least we got to send the Greenies home first.
News to me: we have an Equestrian team preparing for Nationals.
The new Basketball Practice Facility on the north side of the PMAC is finished and both teams are already using it.
Board of Sup's News: Trent Johnson's contract extended to 2014 and his compensation was increased to 1.05 mil a year. Coach Flory got a 2 year extension and minor pay raises for Soccer's Brian Lee, Women's Golf's Karen Bahnsen, and Women's Tennis's Tony Minnis.
If we survive the flooding today, The Geaux Show will return tonight to talk about all the championship games, a look back at the season, and your calls. We'll hold off from having an honest discussion of PSU for later in the month. Join us round about 8:15pm CST if you feel like shooting the breeze.

All teams are off for Finals week, the next LSU game is Men's Basketball at home Saturday night against Natchitoches.

I was told
by a guy (he can comment further if he chooses) that the reveille’s source is pretty reliable and the smoke is eminating from a fire.
Fortunatley is does appear to be issolated and Miles/AD have handled it properly so the damage should be limited to McCarthy/Hicks. Neither will be around next year.
I kind of expected them to deal with it while the kids were all off for finals but it may not be for a little while yet.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
McCarthy and Hicks are involved in an investigation
But that was ALL that was right about that Reveille story. Every other detail was pure fiction.
Just have to trust me on this one
I don’t work for the athletic department, but I do work with them on occasion.

Sounds good
My source is usually right and he was pretty sure there was some flame causing the smoke, he still didn’t think it was going to be a big issue once its all dealt with.
Anyway, I like your version better so I’ll stick with you for now!
I hope you are right.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Hello from PA!
Everyone wants to know what Nittany means.
It refers to the mountain lions that once roamed near the school, and to Mount Nittany, a local landmark.
Looking forward to this game and Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez
I’d love to get to one of you home games one day, I have heard great things abou the whole experience.
Hope to see you over at BSD for some lively debate and good natured smack talk

Dear Peterson,
THIS is what the SEC thinks about you: you’re pretty good but not great. I think you have to improve. Please pin this in your locker.

I was actually serious...
Peterson is a beast; good ball presence, physical, good speed and soft hands. I don’t get the Haden love. He takes too many chances, isn’t very physical, but has good ups and speed to spare. I’ll take the former over the latter 8 days a week.

I'm serious, too.
I want PP to put this in his locker. He was robbed. So was Kelvin Sheppard, not even making second team. I want them to be angry for next year.

I think name recognition is part of it
Peterson has been pretty quiet the last few games because quarterbacks aren’t throwing to whoever he’s covering.
+1
I’m surprised that Rennie Curran beat out Brandon Spikes for First Team. The Eye Gouge is the only reasonable explanation for that. I would have liked to see Kelvin Sheppard on second team as well.
CHAD JONES! WOOOO!!!!
I see other reasons for it...
Spikes goes for a killing, highlight shot on nearly every play. Curran just wraps up, good form tackle, is all over the field and is fundamentally sound…if the kill is there, fine, but it’s a much more disciplined style of play than Spikes.
After Ro leaves for NFL lucre, this is the best LB in the league.
