Link Gumbo 9/22/11
Apologies for the brevity that follows, but this is the last you'll see from me here for a few days. More on that later this morning.
Yesterday's big story was the beginning of Gran Jury testimony in the Shady's case, in which the 4 victims and a few unidentified witnesses testified. They will reconvene next Wednesday, when Jordan Jefferson will take the stand in his own defense, says his attorney.
Les Miles had a brief press conference after practice, and despite a bunch questions about the Grand Jury he wouldn't make a comment on, the news was that both OL Chris Faulk and P Brad Wing should be available on Saturday. It's posted after the break.
The radio show last night was alright, but Miles' answer to the Evil Twin's question (which had a Nazi reference of all things) at the 40 minute mark about how Miles became a Michigan Man is an amusing anecdote and the discussion that followed on burning couches is one of the classic Les Miles answers. It's posted after the break.
Rivals.com is in love with how our defense keeps reloading.
The Sugar Bowl got caught making political donations to Gov. Blanco back in 04 and 06 for a total of $5,000. This doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me.
Anchor of Gold's game reviews have a "PiBB ICE Player of the Game" which should be reason enough to revel in their beatdown of Ole Miss again.
The 40's must have been a weird time at LSU. What else could explain the student body throwing a stripper in the lake. [SFW] (judging by the pics, looks like it happened in front of the indian mounds)
Wanna see what the SEC league office looks like?
After the break: The Les Miles Show, player interviews, WVU HC Dana Holgorsen's Press Conference, and this month's edition of Tiger Talk with LSU volleyball coach Fran Flory and new LSU Softball coach Beth Torina.

Listened to Coach Holgorsen
Was impressed and he has some of that Mike Leech pirate quality about him and he reminds me of Will Patton, the actor (Armageddon, Remember the Titans)

“Man, what are you doing with a gun in space?” fame
I like how Les enjoyed a lot of things—(I love how he uses “enjoy” all the time): among the many, RS being back and the kickers getting more distance on the kick-offs—that has to get better. Good to hear both Faulk and Wing should be available. Geaux Tigers!
Reporter: What would you say a Greg Studrawa offense is like? Stud:
"Attack and be very physical…fly around…attacking, come after you and come after you and come after you…." Me: I love this answer.
GET TO THE RIM HEAT (and SKY)! ATTACK THE PAINT!
Geaux Mo!! and the Lady Tigers!! Beat Missy St. and Ole Missy
Mett with the barefooted kicks, nice

We need more Mo on this site.

Is cool with us having two crushes?

By the way

Is that what that song is that Mo is singing in my head?

that history site with the stripper story is awesome
there’s a ton of great stuff on it. like this picture of the old absinthe house in new orleans at stome time in the 20s or 30s.

Remember the Rose Bowl: The Story of the Alabama Crimson Tide & the Grandaddy of Them All
nice, awesome pic

She is not hard to pull for.
and Mettentanna, only 56 yrds. Longer than I can throw, but what happened to 175 yrds from his knees like Jamarcus?

In his defense I think he took it easy on the throw
but she could have nailed a 50+ yarder on the FG
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
Honestly, I wouldn't want her on FGs because it would take away the running game and I'd hate to see he leg get broke on a block
but she might be abe to reach the end zone on KOs. Sign her up!
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
He threw it from the Goal Line to the other end of the Facility.
The length of the Facility is 70 Yards or so, including the End Zones, no?
On one attempt, he threw using his left arm.
Forever LSU, 'cause that's how we roll.
They said his long throw was like 56 yards
which is way shorter than it looked and a lot less than I would have expected.
It was also pretty obvious from the kicking portion that Mo could have jacked a FG from another 15 to 25 yards, IMO.

Yeah
It looked to me like 65-70 yards in the video, but obviously I wasn’t measuring.
Lol and if she is the kicker next year, we may still do RUN fakes, but I sure hope we don’t try to do any fake field goal passes…
Is it just me or does Holgerson
vaguely loook like Drew Brees?

She puts the lotion on her skin, or else she gets the hose again.

Men, there's a little crippled boy sitting in a hospital who wants you to win this game. I know because I crippled him myself to inspire you.

Dana Holgerson - "I was at the 50yrd line, front and center last year for the Cotton Bowl"
“and we (Ok St) had a pretty tough battle with A&M so I knew what they brought to the table and LSU whipped them”
“I’ve been in the same neck of the woods (with Miles) for over a decade so I know what he brings to the table and it going to be physical!”
