NEWS FLASH! JORDAN JEFFERSON TO START ON SATURDAY! SUN WILL ALSO RISE ON SATURDAY!
(Not to be harsh about it, but c'mon guys, y'all know how Miles works. Any shift, baring injury, will be gradual over time at best. And if we should see him on the field this weekend, I want T.C. McCartney as an option in next week's poll.)
What's that? Star prospect Johnny O’Bryant announced yesterday that he's signing with LSU? I wonder where I heard that before (begins asking Jrlz for the box score from next week's Auburn game...)
Begin your weekend on FSN the right way by watching your 17-1, SEC West leading Volleyball team on the road against the Fightin' RebelBearCalamari of Ole Miss, LIVE on TV at 6:30 pm.
Meanwhile, Soccer is also on the road and is also playing at Ole Miss Friday night. Time to get started on turning around last year's horrible all-sport record against the Rebs.
Here's Coach Miles talking tough about agents on The Dan Patrick Show yesterday (just don't ask him about Michigan St.)
The most sadly humorous line you will read in a baseball story this month.
LSU coach Paul Mainieri said he's sure Ott's dominating summer has his confidence back up as he competes to be the closer once again. He said he is "pretty sure" Ott will be the closer this season.
*checks roster* *sees Matty Ott, 16 tommy john patients, a handful of transfers, and an old bucket of 10-K*
Mainieri, you cad. Baseball began scrimmages this week, I've got WBRZ's camp report after the break.
Great story in the Rev this week about some of the legacy players on the football team this year. I didn't know that Chase Clement had 4 uncles who played football for LSU.

more fuel for the LSU is disrespected column
Chris Low, ESPN’s SEC blogger, lists the top 5 o-linemen in the SEC and the five that missed the cut – no LSU players — but Pouncy, UF’s center, who got abused by Nevis, is his third highest rated.

Low
I’m surprised he could write those blogposts as it required him to put the Auburn pom poms down. Zod as the fourth best defensive player in the conference is, frankly, a joke.
He’s been ripping on LSU all offseason and all year. No one likes to be wrong. And make no mistake, he’s been staggeringly wrong on LSU for about a year.
Fake Pundit. Real Fan.

Chris Low; paraphrased.
LSU will finish 4th in the SEC west.
LSU will finish with four conference losses.
Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, Auburn, and Georgia are the conference contenders.
Pre Tutor-gate
LSU will lose to UNC.

Pouncey has been a joke.
There are many better centers than him in the SEC, including our own Lonergan.
Jrlz rhymes with Charles.
I've watched a lot of UF football in the 5 yrs I've been over here
And part of Pouncey’s problem is the adjustment to center. However, as you said, he hasn’t played well at all even besides the yips with the snaps. I don’t know how many times I have to say it to to people over here before they get it- When you have trouble blocking Miami (O.) straight up, you got problem son the O-Line, injuries or not.
And anybody who watched last week’s game with an open mind would easily see Nevis ate Pouncey’s lunch all night long. Nevis had as many TFLs in that one game against the “All-American” as UF’s best DL, Howard, has all year long.
I forget the play & the point in the game, but on one play Nevis blows up a double team (that incl. Pouncey) so badly, he actually took out the other guard not helping out on the double team that was blocking the other DT )(that I tihnk was Downs) with the wash.

The average sportswriter is completely clueless when it comes to grading OL play
All conference teams, All-American teams, are all judged just on reputation, irrespective of actual on field performance. This is how you get things like Wille Roaf, 10 time Pro Bowler.
Don't Panic.

i knew posting Low's comments
would get you guys riled up.
Can anyone who can measure Oline performance (I can’t) tell me – did Pouncey suck this bad last year as a (was he a guard?). His brother was very good, and is in the NFL. Is Meyer hurting this kids draft chances by forcing him into a position he’s just not that good at?
Who the heck did Low have ahead of Zod?
Not at all
Pouncey was an All-American guard and a worthy one. Watch him pull out into space and get to the next level on a defense and you can still see why.
But he’s clearly not a center.

Hit the nail on the head
People don’t realize how difficult it actually can be playing a different position that’s only 3 feet away.
Pouncey has been downright awful (by his standards).

Low's rankings...
1. Drake Nevis, DT, LSU
2. Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn “He’s running a close race with Nevis for that top spot and may eventually get it.”
3. Justin Houston, LB, UGA
4. Zod, Swallower of Souls, LSU
5. Ahmad Black, S, UF

Actually this is hard to argue.
If Zod wasn’t being poisoned by cramptonyte he’d clearly be the best but we need him on the field at the end.

I live in Vietnam by the way
so it was 11:19 Friday night here. Don’t want everyone thinking I’m a lush (actually I am, but I don’t want people thinking it!)
Tiger beer of course!!
It’s Singaporean,. but I have to drink it on principle alone. Geaux Tiger! Haven’t tried any seaweed brew, but the different rice wines aren’t too bad. Haven’t gotten up the nerve to try the snake wine though.
I really enjoy your posts SouthernMan, and especially your positive attitude. Keep up the good work!
Did a little research
and I’m positive this is the first time anyone has said cramptonyte ever (on the internet). major props for the creativity SM. there’s some guy in the UK calling himself Cramptonite but he doesn’t mean it in this way, and there’s some school called Crampton where the kids call themselves Cramptonites.
on behalf of liberal arts majors everywhere, SM gets an A+.
Thanks
gotta try to keep up with the high standards of ATVS creative meh meh monikers.

Well...
… technically, he’s in one very brief scene in the 1st one. But “Kneel Before Zod” is definitely Superman II.

He is the super being that has no equal and you will kneel before him!

Miles QB Touch
NOBODY in College Football has the magical touch for handling team chemistry like Les Miles ! Les is a team guy through & through. He was raised that way & was well schooled in the magic of TEAM by Coach Bo. His players call him COACH, unlike Mike Archer’s guys who called him Mike. Les lives & breathes by the concept that TEAM is more powerful than the sum parts that make it up. Les knows that JJ would be crushed if he wasn’t listed as starter & that J. Lee can handle being the “back-up”. If J. Lee was elevated to starter status & got hurt or plays bad, JJ wouldn’t be half the qb he needs to be to fill in. Tiger Fans, let’s enjoy this genius aspect of our Head Coach. College Football is more than x’s & o’s. FEAR THE HAT Is back !!
