When your trainer owns a bat company, game trophies are easily made.
A few more awards to hand out this week as Eric Reed was named the Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week and Drew Alleman was named a Lou Groza "Star of the Week.
This bit snuck by us in last week's buildup. Fleur de Lis pizza got a huge shoutout from Grantland last week.
Bama lost. Time for some epic Meltdown and Schadenfreude (NSFW)
It's a little early to discuss it, but LSU-Bama is one of two possible rematches in the championship game.
I wish I'd have thought of this earlier, but LSU-Bama really was a Big 10 fan's dream game.
It would appear Bama fans are not going to let Eric Reid's interception go without protest, even with official confirmation from the league office. Have fun stewing over that for a few years.
In case you missed it, Mizzou joined the conference on Sunday and will enter the East division (along with excellent blog Rock M Nation.) As expected, it's given the SEC cause to revisit their TV contract. (From a baseball angle, this is kind of a disaster. Mizzou's TOTAL home attendance last season was 13,344, which is just a handful more than LSU pulled in for the Friday night game of the UF series this past year)
The LSU Soccer team was placed in the NCAA tournament as an at-large and will start against 3 seed TAMU on Friday night. Goalie (and Friend of the Site) Mo Isom got a nice profile in LSU Legacy magazine and is still in the running for the Lowes' CLASS award (and, for you student readers, is still running for homecoming queen)
Patrick Peterson did his superman thing again last weekend. Now, there's even brief sightings of him on offense.
The SEC has announced the Thursday Night Baseball lineup for the 2012 season and LSU is only featured once, in the April 5th game @ Florida.
Things are kinda desperate at Tennessee when they have to pull a kicker from a frat house just minutes before a game. (was there not an available Colquitt brother in the stands?)
The Right Reverend Houston Nutt will be forcibly separated from his flock at the end of the season and Ole Miss AD Pete Boone will follow shortly behind him. The surprising (and frankly worrying) news about this is that the Dread Pirate Captain Mike Leach is interested in the job. Rebel fans seem to be in his favor.
With the potential loss of Leach, the list of candidates ok options for the Tulane program gets shorter.
More postgame videos and player interviews after the break.

Managing Editor/Chief Lackey-And The Valley Shook THE LSU Tigers Blog of the Week for 52,136 Weeks in a Row and Counting
From the article you posted about bama protesting the Reid INT
At 5:51 in the Alabama LSU game highlight reel above, Michael Williams makes a catch on the goal line. It’s the 4th quarter with 11:11 to go and the game is tied 6-6. Momentum is on Bama’s side after a couple of big offensive plays: an 18 yard McCarron-to-Maze pass to the Bama 45 for a first down, and a Trent Richardson rush for 24 yards to the 28 for a first down.
5:51? In Alabama we call that 9 to 6…And I’m done…
2011 LSU Accolades:
"Saban thoroughly outcoached by Miles" -Jen Engel, Fox Sports
"I really like corndogs" -Sparky
"Imperial Intergalactic Overlord Barkevious Mingo" -Andy Staples
"If Alabama's defense is a boa constrictor, slowly sucking the life out of opposing offenses, LSU's is more like a goon that throws the offense into a burlap sack and starts beating it with a stick." -Matt Hinton
"Oregon’s Chip Kelly is generally considered a coaching mastermind. Miles toyed with him here Saturday night." -Dan Wetzel, Yahoo Sports
"I don’t want to say that I think Mo Claiborne is faster than Patrick Peterson…..but I think Mo Claiborne is faster than Patrick Peterson." -Les Miles

Bama is upset about an INT call by the refs?
Well I never…
I guess there is such a thing as a make-up call. Just sad it took 2 years to get it.

How a Bama fan feels about that (Reid's) interception call is a good litmus test
for delusional stupidity. The intelligent Bama fans admit it was a clear interception. The dumbass homers somehow convince themselves they are seeing something that didn’t happen.

Anybody else get goose bumps watching LSU sing the Alma mater at 'Bama.
Much classier than cigars or flaming spears at the 50. Nice addition to the traditions Les.

We were into making babies with Patrick Peterson before it was cool.

Thanks for the link
I’d heard about it but not seen it. I cannot believe the dude already has the Cardinals record for most punt return TDs in a career.
Oh wait, yes I can. /swag
Don't Panic.
