NEW ORLEANS: CRAPPY PHOTOS, GOOD TIMES

We’re in New Orleans covering the BCS title game, and taking pictures with our iPhone. What you call crappy, we call “misty and mysterious” picture quality.

We’d agree, but that would be factually inaccurate vis-a-vis Florida.

I would think that a prestigious job with the sporting news would include the perk of an iPhone…

I found out this week that the real Orson Swindle and I served in the same Marine Corps Fighter Squadron…VMFA-235…The Death Angels…

I saw that ominous shadow from Tropical Isle on the corner of Bourbon and Orleans. Didn’t realize until I was brutally hungover that it was intended to warn against drinking hand grenades.

Be sure you grab a couple of Sazeracs at the Columns Hotel. Also I recommend Jean Lafitte’s Old Blacksmith Shop – just walk down Bourbon away from Canal until you fear for your life, and it’s on the left.

Does anyone give a crap about this POS championship game?

I’m guessing it’ll look a little like the SECCG: Mediocre play through three quarters, one team makes some boneheaded plays in the 4th to seal victory for the other team. Those of us who aren’t idiots yawn, the rest of us (some of which are employed by ESPN) will swoon like it was the Best! Game! Evar!, and then rank USC and WVU and Notre Dame and Hawai’i ahead of Georgia.

But again, does anyone give a crap about this POS championship game? I’m doing a party for it, but damn if I ain’t ever entertaining the notion of just going to bed early for work.

Seriously. My boss scheduled me for 8AM the next morning, and while that’s a bitch, I’m probably going to be in bed before the end of this game one way or another.

IF LSwho wins, then the following teams will have legitimate claims to being the MNC: LSwho, UGA, KU, Mizzou, WVU, & USC. Honestly, not a single one of those six teams really jumps out at me either. They all seem to have about the same resume. Seems rather arbitrary to give it to the LSU trash. Of course, tOSU will screw everything up if they win. Damn Buckeye trash. I wouldnt be surprised if those bastards from the Big10 win by 3 touchdowns. The underdog always wins these damn MNC games.

After sitting thru the 3 1/2 hour debacle in the Capital One Bowl on New Years Day, I am now a firm believer that UM sucks. Oh, BTW, so does our defense, special teams, etc.

As a Buckeye fan, I realize if a team’s winning by three touchdowns, it’s LSU. Unless Les Crowton/Gary Miles calls a double reverse screen to Ciron Black every play, that offense isn’t getting shut down.

That is a really fucking creepy shirt that guy’s wearing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m from Ohio, so I know how immature approximately 85% of our fans are, and I’ve seen more Calvins pissing on the block M than most men have dared to dream, but I still can’t get over a burly Brutus getting sucky-sucky-five-dollah from a five year old in a Michigan cheerleader outfit.

I think Chris Hansen is a Michigan grad, to boot.

stapler says:

The problem is that we have no idea what tOSU team will show up on Monday. They have had over a month to prepare. They could have changed their entire offense and defenese over the span of a month. The large amount of time between the last game of the season and the MNC is, I believe, why there are so many upsets in the MNC games. In the NFL, the Super Bowl is rarely an upset. That’s because the two teams have only about a week or two to prepare, so basically everyone knows what two teams are going to show up to the game. But with college it is different. I would not be surprised at all if tOSU comes out and dominates. But the large amount of time in between games makes it very unpredictable.

excellent suggestion, VandyJ. but be sure they make that with rye whiskey and not bourbon. and check that they make it stirred, not shaken.

The Buckeye fan wearing the T-shirt depicting a Wolverine cheerleader blowing Big Bucky (or whatever the fuck they call that hideous half man/ half poisonous nut creature) is such a gutless little bee-yotch. The nearest Michigan fan is 800 miles away, so he feels safe to bash UM with a denigrating image. Hey Bee-yotch, how about walking around the French Quarter with a T-shirt showing your Nut Man getting blown by a Bayou Bengal? What’s that? You want a Dixie longneck spitting your scalp? Gutless bastard. I can’t stand the Wolverines, but I hate spineless little pussies like this tOSU idiot even more. His shirt would be funny if he was bar hopping in Ann Arbor, but just serves as a punk identifier when worn where only friendlies can see it. Geaux Tigers!!

DN Nation-

At least Dawg fans can take comfort from two of the four teams that jumped over them after the regular season ended losing their bowls, with the possibility of LSU being the third.

The Sooners jumped from 9th to 4th. Whoops.

NRBQ, At least the dawgs made an adjusment and almost came back to win that game. Oklahoma was ‘lost in space”………Danger Will Robinson, danger.

BTW, the cashier line at Harrah’s is notoriously long. DO NOT suddenly become impatient to cash in your chips and instead kill a few more minutes at the nearby blackjack/craps tables.

Stupid.Stupid.Stupid.

Mr Pelican Pants says:

Well since tOSU has had about 6 months to prepare for one game, one would think they would show up to play. The problem for LSU is that they run a Big 10 Style offense, and guess who is built to stop the Big 10 offense? tOSU! If Les will try to run some version of the spread and exploit mismatches, they should win. IF they try to line up and play Big 10 football w/tOSU, they will lose. Point blank. LSU should have lost at least 4 games this past year and if they stay lucky, they win. I think LSU by 3….24-21…

You can remove UGA, KU, and Mizzou from your list of legitimate title rights contenders.

All things being equal, if you don’t win your own conference, then suck it. Two of those three didn’t even PLAY in their conference championship game.

Other than bowl games, those teams have won exactly squat this season.
