Link Gumbo 10/24/11
It's a bye week, so no Press Conference at Lunch today.
The difference in coaching styles between Miles and Saban is no more evident than in their post game comments this weekend. Above, Miles is relaxed, joking with the media and genuinely looking forward to coaching in this year's edition of "The Game of The Century". Saban, meanwhile, is telling everyone to "chill out" with all the hype.
The press is very good for LSU this week. And it should be with the amazing turnaround the offense has made this year.
There will be a lot of back and forth with the folks at Roll Bama Roll over the next two weeks. Take a look at this quick stat comparison of the two teams.
For their impressive performances, Brad Wing and Barkevious Mingo were named the SEC Special Teams and Defensive Line Players of the week.
LSU now stands alone as the #1 ranked team in all 3 polls and the BCS.
If there is one single saving grace to the utter rage I feel at CBS for both their in-game jokes about destroying 76 years worth of tradition and to them suddenly finding a way to play another SEC game at night, it's that the move will shift the Army-Air Force game into the CBS 2:30 time slot.
(Speaking of which, after this stunt being pulled, I never want to see another sad sap apology letter from the SEC or Joe Alleva about night games getting moved again. Clearly, if someone wants it bad enough, CBS games can, in fact, be played at night. If 76 years of tradition is on the line, you put your foot down, dammit.)
Thanks to another shutout performance by Mo Isom, LSU Soccer marked it's first ever victory against Florida to clinch their 4th SEC West title in 5 years. Mo still needs your votes for the Senior CLASS Award.

Damn straight
I’m still waiting for Alleva to explain why — as far as we are told — LSU did not even ask if any of our games could be moved to night games. Apparently, we aren’t even in the Oliver Twist positions of asking, “Please sir, I’d like some more.” Instead, we must be in the position of the Alpha Beta pledges in Animal House; bent over, ankles grasped, “Thank you, sir, may I have another!”
Very frustrating.

Is this lost forever thanks to the copyright ninjas?
I’m just wondering if anyone found another copy. I see that Xanathol has one, but he doesn’t have a public e-mail addy.

My daughter’s first LSU Hero. I’m frustrated that they don’t have any more weekend matches so that I can take the fam to see them.
Booing = farting. Booing can’t come with caveats and neither can farting. . .You drop that bomb and it’s going everywhere, spreading out evenly across the kill zone. You can try and blame it on someone or something else, but no one is buying. Just don’t do it. - tigerarchitect (2011)

Oh,
Ditto everything that was said above!

I noticed....
Verne and Gary cracking jokes. When they talked about the field conditions Gary said “You think it’s because they have too many day games?” and they both started laughing.
Lee's throw to Randle
Did you guys notice that Lee’s throw right before half time went 50 yds in the air. I just re-watched the highlights…what a beautiful throw. I think that was Lee’s best game yet. It was also the first time i have seen him consistently throw those screens accurately. And finally, it was good to see him check down to his rb or safety receivers several times when the deep ball wasn’t there
Great game for him.
Ditto.
As someone said in another thread, Lee actually looked damn good in this game & not just a “game manager.”

Agree
and was it that throw or another – at one point you could see his head/eyes shift from a receiver on the left, to a receiver in the middle, to one on the right side of the field before making the throw.
