LSU Lays the Biggest Egg of All Time


Pathetic. Dreadful. Terrible. Pitiful. Ugly. Boring. Maddening. Embarassing. And downright BAD!

Those are just a few of the words describing LSU fans emotions on their team's total ineptitude against Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game last night.

I picked LSU to win for all the obvious reasons as mentioned before in previous blogs. I was wrong again. If I were a betting man, I'd be homeless. My picks on anything lately seems to be the kiss of death for the team I'm supporting.

Bama kicked their bayou asses up and down that field in the Dome. Suprisingly, LSU never responded to the relentless Tide lickin'. They quit. What the hell happened on that field? LSU took an ass kicking that will haunt them for years.

Nick Saban also kicked ass. He kicked Les Miles backside back to his Ohio roots. With two weeks to prepare, Saban showed he is a bonafide genius in football with lots of grit and grind. In those same two weeks, Miles showed he is a bonafide lunkhead who was exposed under the glare of the tv lens. Unprepared. Entitled. Out-played hundredfold by his rival Saban and the Tide. Miles may not recover from this for some time.

LSU suffers a shut-out at home...92 yards total offense...five first downs...only once over the 50 yard line...in front of a national audience... in primetime... as the #1 undefeated team in the country. Good luck Les trying to explain this colossal failure to your supporters. Numbers never lie. Just brutal.

LSU's QB Jordan Jefferson looked like a high schooler against that defense. The over-hyped Tyrann "Honey Bear" Mathieu, LSU defensive back, looked equally over-matched and dimunitive against the hefty and quicker Bama opposition. Morris Clayborne, future NFL first rounder, was invisible. Superior teams do that to star players on inferior teams...makes them go away and hide. Bama shut them down totally.

Bama dominated from the opening to the closing whistles. Inexplicably, LSU laid down early. So did the LSU fans. Many left at halftime...they smelled a rout. What a putrid way to end a magical season that turned suddenly into a disaster! LSU's loss will cast a long shadow for a long time on their program and head coach, Les Miles.

Geaux Tigers no more. Sorry. I'm not falling for the Baton Rouge hype anymore. And hype it was.
