LSU Preview

Well, this preview is going to be a little different than past previews. I could have written about the matchups between the teams, broken down who we would need to rely on, etc. but I think that has been especially played out for this game. Instead, I'm serving up a cold pitcher of Kool-Aid. After this video, I'll begin a Spirit-style pep-talk. I know, that's not generally our bag, but this weekend, it is. I'm tired of losing to the tigers. I'm sick and tired of never being mentioned on SportsCenter and only seeing highlights of us playing poor defense on Percy Harvin. So I wrote this, more than anything to pump myself up for the game. We're going to be there, and we'll certainly be sauced.

This is THE game. It's our biggest game since the LSU game in 2003. It's not going to end the same way. It can't. Chad Lavalais doesn't play for LSU anymore. But more than that, our team is hungry. They're hungry for blood. For all the build up to that 2003 game, the rebels came out sluggish. That can't happen this Saturday. It WON'T happen. The rebels are going to win this game. They're going to do it for Houston Nutt. They're going to do it for Kent Austin and Tyrone Nix.
But more than that, they're going to do it for Peria Jerry, who chose to stay for his senior year. They're going to do it for Michael Oher, who did the same. Mike Wallace, Jason Cook, Maurice Miller, Darryl Harris, Tony Fein, Dustin Mouzon, Jamarca Sanford. This is a game for the SENIORS. The guys who had to put up with Coach O yelling at them, removing the love of the game. It's for the players who have bled and sweat on the field only to come up short so many times.

It's also for you and me. It's for everyone who stuck it out and stayed a fan. We, the contributors to Red Solo Cup, are going to be at the game this Saturday in Death Valley. I suggest you be there too. You don't want to miss the best day to be a rebel in a long, long time.

When things look down in the game, and I'm sure that they will, remember this. We were down 17-7 at the half against a team that beat South Carolina 56-6, Georgia 49-10, and most of all LSU 51-21, but the team didn't quit. In the face of despair in Gainesville, the team kept fighting. Even after they had just handed a sure victory to Vanderbilt on seven turnovers, the team was not out of steam. Kentrell Lockett wasn't ready to quit when he blocked the extra point that would have tied the game. The entire defense wasn't ready to quit when they held Tim Tebow, the Heisman winner, to a loss on the most important play of his season.

Never give up on this team. They have fought hard battles, never giving up, and they deserve something more than that.
In closing, if you hear of anyone being killed by an LSU fan this weekend after we win, that's probably one of us. We've already decided that after we win, we're going to talk loads of crap. Loads and loads.

Prediction: Rebs by four

What are y'all's predictions?

No matter what happens in the game... CBS's Gary Danielson will take every opportunity to get in to Les Mile's pants.

Don't worry, if there's any trouble, I've got all of your backs. Just look me up, I'll be wearing purple, gold, or a combination of them (tastefully done, of course, and no makeup or wigs), and will be sauced as well. You'll be able to pick me out because I'll be the only friendly drunk in the place.

LSU by 6.

I'll be there for the Rebels this weekend and I hope the Rebel faithful show up in massive numbers!

I'm pretty sure that the Rebel faithful will be surprisingly strong this weekend. I was at the game 2 years ago that we should have won and I think we'll make up for that this time...tomorrow should be a helluva lot of fun.

Old Sis

*200ish rushing yards (Davis gets his with 2 or 3 big runs)
*150ish passing yards (Snead's overrated)
*3-4 turnovers (Nutt's teams fail to protect the ball)
*10-21 points (Old Sis can't punch it in)

LSUcks

*150ish rushing yards (Scott gets his in 5-6 yard chunks)
*250ish passing yards (your secondary makes Lee look good and your D-line doesn't get penetration)
*1-2 turnovers (Nutt's teams usually pull a fumble or two out)
*21-48 points (If LSUcks gets big plays they blow Old Sis out)

Prediction 10-27 LSUcks and the game isn't in doubt after midway through the third quarter. Nutt flaps his arms like a chicken several times during he game.

Go HOGS!

An Arkansas fan predicting against HDN?!? What is this? And by 17? I've got to call my bookie and change my bet...

Rebels by 5

Rebs by fuckin' 30.

I'm no genius, but last time I checked our D-line has been in the backfield a lot this year. Rebs hold off a second surge to win by 7.

Kilgor,

Snead is 2nd in conference in TD passes. Overrated my ass.
We lead the conference in TFL. DLine doesn't get penetration my ass.
Neither Davis is our primary back. Enrique is our 3rd option at halfback at best. You know what you're talking about MY REBEL ASS.

Fuck you and LSU.

& Kilgor

Did you really predict that Enrique Davis would have 2 or three big runs but that the rest of the running game would be ineffective? Have you watched a single game of ours this season including the one we played against you? Eason is the back now.

The Ghost of Jay Cutler said:

"...penetration my ass."

Heh.

Ok, high school humor aside, you got me. I'm not an Old Piss expert (Thank GOD).

I was at our game against Old Piss and I've seen a couple of more Old Piss games on TV. This blog is on my blog reader because it's funny as hell. That combined with having watched Nutt for 10 years is what I know of Old Piss.

You convinced me. Rebs by fuckin' 30.

Oh, and Snead still sucks and this is as good as he will get under Nutt. Enjoy!

Thank God. I don't want any Hog fans on my side.

I just wish for massive numbers of injuries on both sides. Especially for LSwho?.

I'll see you LSwho? fans in 1 week. I have seats right by the LSwho? section. :)

And I have seats right in our section. Good luck.

I agree with Juco's post, for the most part.
If your just looking at the basic facts, his post is right on target, but even Rebel fans know that the Florida team Ole Miss beat, isn't the same team that beat LSU, Georgia, and SC.
Even a sub-par Arkansas team hung around for three quarters in the very next game.
Those three wins, in that order, were the beginning of something special for the Gators, which is why their in a perfect position for a NC right now.
Do any of you Rebel fans really believe that's a fair comparison?
I think the Ole Miss vs. LSU game will be interesting, depending on which LSU team shows up.
If the team that showed up against Troy is there, it could be a long day for LSU, but if the one that fought with 'Bama shows up, then it could be the other way around.

artiger,

I like the way you seperate yourself away from Arkansas fans, even though your own fans are the biggest lunaticks in college football.

Gonzo, they just demoralized us. It was awful. Y'all may not have anything to play for next Friday, but I'm not sure we do either.
