What I always wondered is, when Dorsey was out, why such a dramatic change in the defense? I know Dorsey is a game changer and causes teams to change their entire offensive strategy, but do you guys have a huge drop off in effectiveness when going to the second stringers? Is depth a problem on your D-line?

Because we were going to our 3rd and 4th line this year. Ricky Jean Francois was suspended for the regular and we lost Charles Alexander for the entire year with ACL. Pittman is coming back from 2 years of rehabilitation for injuries and may get a 6th year from the NCAA. The season has forced us into SO and FR sooner than we normally would and I do not think they understand the defense as much as Dorsey and Alexander. Injuries in the secondary has seen the rise of true freshman phenom Chad Jones (TF) and we have even seen some of Jai Eugene (RSFR).

The injury to Dorsey has not allowed him to protect our LB's as much and allows people to concentrate on Tyson Jackson coming around the end. One of our best LB's have been playing hurt all year and so has Steltz who got jacked in the Kentuckey game. Chevis Jackson has been dealing with eye problems experienced in the Kentucky game, but I think that is past him now...

Tiger Christmas

LSU TIGER Christmas
Twenty four days before Christmas, in a state in the south,
Les Miles was pissed as he opened his mouth.
?Miles to Michigan,? was reported as fact.
To which Miles responded, ?Herbie you don?t know jack!?

The Tigers had suffered a gut wrenching loss,
At the hands of McFadden and the rest of the hogs.
And Bo in his sweatshirt, and Miles in his Hat.
Were determined to prove they were better than that!

When the Tennessee Vols ran out on the field,
There were ruckus applause from the mentally ill.
Still in the locker room, Les told his team,
?This season ain?t over. We still have a dream.?

The hurt throwing arm of QB Matt Flynn
Meant Ryan was the man they put their faith in.
Then the fans all heard, what Les said in the Dome.
?I ain?t goin? anywhere. I?m happy. I?m Home!?

The fans were still thinking ?This might be a trick.?
?til someone pointed out ?Hey, this guy ain?t Nick!?
The Hat took the field for this championship game,
And he brought all his Tigers, and called them by name;

?Now, Hester! Now, Early! Now, Highsmith and Putt!
Let?s let ?er rip and shut these guys up!
Take to the field! And give it your all!
Then later we?ll watch numbers 1 & 2 fall.?

The fans still weren?t sure as to what team would show,
The Virginia Tech game seemed like so long ago.
But there in the stands, the fans they did cheer,
As Perrilloux played his game of the year.

While out in Ar-Kansas, the hogs claimed the boot,
The tigers were focused on far better loot.
With the game knotted up, Ainge threw a quick out
But Zenon was ready and took six to the house.

He wore a LSU jacket, and a white turtle neck,
The same as he wore when his team beat La Tech.
With the hat on his head, and a childish grin,
Miles put his team in the title picture again.

His smile-how it widened! as Pitt won its game!
He cheered Oklahoma, when it did the same.
The stars were aligning, it couldn?t be true.
Turns out Miles WAS destined, to play O-S-U.

With a month to prepare and a month to heal up,
We?re all pretty sure which team will show up.
He ain?t going to Michigan, and we?re sure of that.
But Tressel and the Buckeyes should still Fear the Hat.

On December first, he called L-S-U home.
Then set up the Tigers, to play again in the Dome.
It soon will be legend, how Les started that day,
?Can?t talk now. . . . I?m busy. . . . [Y?all] have a GREAT day!?

but wait... there's more...

[ahem]

fast forward, o Tracker, to january eight
in the year of our lord, two-thousand and eight
when Miles' tigers lay licking their cuts
from the lashing they'd had from Jim Lauri-nitus

what hopes, what plans, what bonuses dashed
when Les found AD Martin's cell number (that he'd stashed)
ring ring went the bell on bill's little box
"take me please, bill, ann arbor so rocks!"

... take it Taos

Just a reminder to those of you that may be coming down without tickets. Ticket scalping is illegal here, if you buy a ticket on the street be careful of who you buy it from, they probably won't broadcast the game in the New Orleans jail. :-) Beware of counterfiet tickets, there are not only a lot of them out there, but they are very well done. It is almost impossible to detect them. We have even been having them show up at LSU games this year. Also, the New Orleans police are not to be messed with. They are very tolerant of people having a little too much to drink and doing some heavy partying (They have lots of experience with it) but if you cross the line there is no mercy.

Are they bringing out the horses again for crowd control?
