VISITING LECTURER: LSU JOSHUA ON, APPROPRIATELY, LSU
Teams: there are a lot of 'em. In our ongoing attempt to bring you the most outstanding mediocre coverage of college football as we know it, we bring on visiting lecturer LSUJoshua, who will lecture today on Dr. Miles' School for the Garishly Attired and Athletically Gifted. Enjoy.
One: what color is your season? In other words, please explain the metaphorical state of your program through the metaphor of colour.
LSU is crystal clear, as in our two BCS trophies and how its obvious by now that Les Miles knows more than you about coaching football. Make excuses or downplay all you want. Simple fact of the matter is that LSU among the tippy top of cfb elite and isnt going anywhere anytime soon, thanks largely to Miles ability to out recruit and out coach the rocket scientist you pay a South America defense budget for.
I challenge any man in this room to meet me in Kitchen Stadium. On the menu: your ass.
Two: What historical nation and period do you resemble most right now?
Cimmeria. Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aireus. Its a great time to be a barbarian citizen of this Hyborean Age empire right now as the Tigers are enjoying their greatest stretch of success to date. A year like this used to be spent on the sidelines as we waited for new guys to mature for the next run. Now, extreme levels of talent and some of the best conditioning and coaching around have LSU always competitive, if not dominant. Upstart neighbors are brutally subjugated (Miss. St., Bama, Ole Miss) and we get the best of the serious competition, sometimes decidedly so.
Yeah, occasionally some wandering barbarian rhino out there might take time out of circumcisions to try and take a cut at us or some village idiot from the plains might to give us trouble, especially around the knees.
But we know we have it good and we are enjoying it. It may crumble at some point, but well be dead drunk or dead from being drunk or just drunk or dead from high cholesterol. Whatever the case, well win plenty, drink a lot, eat a great deal and try to have fun, and almost definitely to our detriment:
A further close-up of what to our detriment usually means:
That dude turned up on a LSU message board. He got A LOT of stitches. Imagine that.
Three: You have important players. Discuss a few of them hastily.
Charles Alexander is returns from injury at DT. He will be an unholy terror. No one will notice him because of Ricky Jean Francois (say it with me, /zshaun frahn swoi/) in his Oscar winning performance as Galactus, eater of worlds running backs, extra points and quarterbacks. I would like to use Orsons moniker for him, the Haitian Sensation, but his LSU profile says his nickname is the Freak. I aint gonna argue. Also, do not be surprised by our new freshman corner, Patrick Peterson. Youre gonna know running backs Charles Murphy and Richard Scott. Theyre pretty good, but theyll look great behind a talented veteran offensive line that should clear the way.
With the departure of Perrilloux to fight terruh, we will feature a white, sorta slowish, inexperienced and hopefully as error free as possible qb.
And when I say inexperienced, think of yourself trying to undo that bra for the first time. It looks simple, youve seen it done, you know you can man up on it, but until you accomplish it, it can be startlingly elusive. This could be unsettling, until true freshman Jordan Jefferson takes over. He was a steal in recruiting (injured senior year, most schools laid off of him) and as long as he stays healthy, he could shine.
Four: Name two games we might actually want to watch featuring your team.
The rematch with Florida in Atlanta for the SEC crown. And Auburn, that game almost always decides the SEC West and slakes your thirst for a bit of the ole ultraviolence. Have some milk with that.
Four-A: Save us all some time and mention the game were better off NOT watching.
Every game, but just the parts where your team interacts with our defensive line. We took Dr. Mindbenders Serpentor approach and grabbed Glenn Dorseys DNA, combined that with a trapdoor spiders, some of Mike the Tigers and whatever genetic material is extractable from Wild Turkey 101 in a medieval candlelit lab (candle tallow rendered from the flesh of hapless Mississippi State quarterbacks) and combined with the rage virus from 28 Days Later.
We put all that in a centrifuge or maybe we just wrapped it in bacon, then deep fried it, whatever. Then we cloned it and the result? The dline 2 deep: Charles Alexander, Marlon Favorite, Al Woods, Ricky Jean-Francois, Tyson Jackson, Drake Nevis, Rahim Alem, Kirston Pittman. Youd be happy to have any one of those guys start for your school. And they would. Its not up for debate.
Five: Every hero forgets something in their toolbelt. What does your team lack?
The buckle itself, aka a quarterback with more than a quarter of experience and two pass attempts. But not so much really. LSU has won two SEC and MNC titles with quarterbacks who took care of the ball and not much else. So maybe well just wander around without a buckle to that belt, like your fat uncle whos always just sitting around with his pants unbuckled with the top button undone. Give him a break, hes full and he is dominating that couch like you wish you could.
Six: Describe your team with a Jimmy Buffett song. No, were seriousdo it.
Werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein
Werewolves of London
If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
Better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Werewolves of London
He's the hairy handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
Werewolves of London
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect
Werewolves of London again
Draw blood
Yeah, thats Warren Zevon, but Buffet covered it and that makes it a Jimmy Buffet song, albeit on technicality. Ha HA! I defeated this diabolical trap! Anyway, it is quite apt for the LSU Fightin Tigers, for they will rip your lung out, maul old ladies and drink pina coladas.
Seven: Were master wagerers. Give us a bet to place for up to ten dollars about your team.
The handicappers will give the kneecappers the edge, but LSU will triumph in Auburn. The Tigers will then go 5-3 to win the West and battle for the SEC crown in Atlanta. Urban Meyer will bow his head in defeat to the Hat. Itll be a. Great. Day.
LSUJoshua, fine work. The Library of Congress recommends that if you are truly interested in learning more about LSU Football, you just go to a game at Tiger Stadium and get mindfucked by the unreality of a big night game there proper-like. Books have nothing to do with this shit. You may read more about LSU Football at LSUTigerBait.com, and should.

My fat uncle won’t get off the couch ‘cause he’s lazy and unmotivated. Interestingly enough, he can barely comprehend how he ended up there, either. And pants fall down lacking a belt buckle, leaving one … exposed. Good luck with that QB issue you don’t think you have.

The football Gods frown on such preseason bravado (especially when it turns a blind eye to some realities which should be extremely disconcerting to LSU fans). Repent now, Joshua, or pay a terrible, terrible price. Remember UAB?

So LSU fans are crazy for being confident, yet some on here believe the team is just going to magically fall to the middle of the pack after spending the last 5 years as a top 10 mainstay? Riiiiight…
You’d have a better chance of hearing a Georgia fan accepting that they actually lost a game without somebody being lucky/referees being out to get them.

Oh Billy Billy Billy – you LSU fans are the ultimate at never losing a game to a better team. Its always the ref’s fault, or injurie’s fault, or the weather’s fault. I’ve lived with it my whole life. Even in the lean years, there was always some reason other than LSU plain got beat.

Bama, an upstart? HUH??? Bama hasn’t been good in recent years, but I think there’s a long history there that makes calling Bama an upstart only slightly southward of moronic.
Also, I do remember a certain player named Javier Arenas returning a punt that gives the lie to claims of brutally suppressing opposing teams…

it’s funny, for all the recent success LSU has achieved, all i can think about is how badly Florida would beat LSU in the go-go ‘90s. i mean, we’re talking homecoming game scores. eric kresser lobbing bombs with no time left to put the score somewhere just below triple digits.
but they are good now, so that’s nice for them…

I am a big LSU hawk, but I cannot agree that we are still at the top of the SEC. I LOVE Les Miles, but he will be rebuilding this year. They will prolly lose three games.

@34: Most years, any two losses and you’re out. You might not have noticed if you just crawled out from under a rock a few days ago, but last year was a bit unusual. (Also of note: both losses were in 3OT to teams with winning records. VT’s losses may have come to better teams, but one of those was a 48-7 ass-kicking at the hands of LSU. OU lost to Colorado and Texas Tech and didn’t have the marquee non-con ass-kicking on their resume that LSU had; Georgia didn’t even win their division, much less their conference; Missouri lost twice to the same team, which makes it pretty clear said team is better; USC lost to freakin’ Stanford; Kansas’s best win was over the 6th-place team in their conference and then over Central Michigan; West Virginia lost to the Wannstache; and Hawaii’s best win was over last-place-in-the-Pac-10 Washington.)

to no. 20:
holy crap are you serious? LSU is the team that has had historical success. from an undefeated and alabama-esque 1908 national championship, to back to back sec championships in the ‘30s and the 1958 national championship. the only decade where LSU had little success was the 90’s.
florida barely even played the game til the 80s and then they had to cheat to win. even with spurrier they had a grand total of ONE national championship.

Les Miles is a man who can recruit like no one else, and he makes decisions that require more balls that the combined testicular fortitude of your previous six generations.
Having said that: leave Les to recruiting and replace the LSU coaching staff with an army of kittens, and the Tigers would still win 10 games every season.

Comparing losses is the wrong way to approach quality. It should be about comparing wins. Just sayin’.

I’m glad LSU football is doing well, because its English dept is struggling quite a bit.
Look at the following passages taken verbatim from the text:
Charles Alexander is returns from injury at DT. [sic]
We put all that in a centrifuge or maybe we just wrapped it in bacon, then deep fried it, whatever. [I can’t tell if its the awkward commas or the awkward ending of the sentence that makes this sentence a disgrace.]
Upstart neighbors are brutally subjugated (Miss. St., Bama, Ole Miss) and we get the best of the serious competition, sometimes decidedly so. [Not only a ridiculously arrogant sentence, but it violates at least 4 grammar rules.]
This submission was darn near incomprehensible. I hope the rest of the LSU fanbase has a stronger grasp of the English language than this guy.

@45: I think you need to consider both the quality of the wins and the quality of the losses. But in this case, I’m not sure it mattered – LSU’s signature win (the ass-kicking of VT) was the best, and their losses (both in multiple OTs to reasonable-quality opponents) were the least damaging, so no matter how you look at it, they’re easily the top 2-loss team. And given the complete lack of quality wins by Hawaii and Kansas to that point, I have no problem with them passing over both.

Joshua @ #59…right, it is all talk until they line up and the clock starts…its just that some do more talking than others and it gets old fast.
As for ass-raping, I question your defense’s ability this year. Even with all the nfl first rounders last year, your vaunted defense didn’t seem to achieve climax on numerous occasions…the victory over Florida was determined by highly questionable offensive play calls which, while providing a climax of sorts, would certainly make one wonder if one was hitting the right hole…

Hey Joshua,
I thought it was funny. People are getting touchy around here as we get closer to the season.
I’m convinced there’s some kind of inverse effect to Einstein’s theory of relativity at the end of the offseason. The closer you get to the beginning of the college football season, time actually lengthens and slows. Will the Hofstra vs. Connecticut game [I]never[/I] get here?
