Good Morning, West Virginia just scored again.
LSU's bus trip to New Orleans had LIVE aerial coverage of the journey down I-10, which wasn't without problems. Les Miles had a short press conference after arriving at the hotel. It's posted after the break, along with comments from Saban, Rueben Randle, and Brandon Taylor.
Miles picked up another award yesterday morning, winning the Walter Camp Coach of the Year. He is the 2nd LSU coach to win the award, joining.....Jerry Stovall in 1982.
The player's time in New Orleans so far has been....interesting. I don't really care what establishments our players go to as long as it's not a place called Shady's. Meanwhile, our kicker is already on a lucky streak.
Fox Sports has an amazing story on Tyrann Mathieu's upbringing that's well worth your time.
DRINKING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
In an update from Monday, it appears most of the 1210AM staff will land on their feet somewhere.
Miles and Saban are both set to make MAD BANK off of this game.
AD Joe Alleva's got a new letter out, but there's nothing interesting in it
The greatest time sink you will see all year, it's the 2011 Top 50 Sports GIFs of the Year.

The Holy Grail
of sports reporting so far re to Tyrann on Fox and one on SN that’s not far behind. It’s amazing that it’s taken so long to get this type of in-depth look into the life of one of the most dynamic players in CF. I told my wife during the Heisman show when he said he was adopted that there’s probably an amazing story behind that esp knowing the city of NO and all that goes on there. The story in the Fox article is riveting. I’m curious as to why the local beat reporters were not able to get this story first and a LOT sooner?
A great read, if it were not about a young man trying to focus on success.
I understand why, but I hate that this had to be printed now. No one wants to have that kind of pain splashed on pages and consumed, and debated, and questioned, before a hard game of such importance. So many painful quotes, you know he is analyzing each line and asking “why would they say that to a reporter?”
Perhaps the local sportswriters did not print this earlier because the only upside is selling ad space, and the down side is poking a hot spike into the heart of someone that never asked for such pain.

You may be right
I think Tyrann may look at it and read it and be inspired. I don’t know of a more emotional player. I remember him tweeting he was pissed that a ‘Bama player mentioned on Sportscenter about “restoring order” by beating LSU the 2nd time around. I thought maybe that was a reach, but then I thought, but for him it’s probably not.

OK so if WVU scored 70 on Clemson, and Clemson held V Tech to 3, and V Tech scored 66 on Appy State,
Would West Virginia score 133 against Appalachian State? I think the answer is clearly yes.
Don't Panic.

Clearly
Alabama fans, ask yourself this question: Is this who you want representing your University and your fanbase?

Had to wake up pretty early in the morning to think of that one huh.
So, we beat the Pac-12 champ (who beat the B1G champ) and the Big East champ (Who beat the ACC champ), too bad we don’t get a shot at the Big 12 champ. And am I the only one that wanted to see WVU put up 100 (I hate when coaches run the score up by the way)?

For all the transitive property adherents
does that mean we’d beat Clemson by 70-80?

I'd take LSU and the points.
No way Nicholls covers 197.

For once I'm with Protofrog
I’d take LSU and the +197 to upset despite the clear evidence that Nicholls should be playing Bama on Monday.

Nope, North Dakota State.
They beat GaSo worse than Bama. Nicholls v. NDSU for it all.

Thats a good matchup
Last time I saw North Dakota St. (or was it South Dakota?) they still ran the veer.

So that means...
Nicholls beats Clemson by 260, if I follow the math. Move over Cumberland, 222-0!
