Chick-Fil-A Bowl. . .

Does that mean the game can not be played on Sunday?

I do not believe LSU merits a bowl this year, and yet they get picked up by the Chick-Fil-A Bowl in Atlanta. They are to play Georgia Tech. As I recall Georgia Tech was once in the SEC like Tulane but bowed out for the ACC. Georgia Tech has to cross town to play while LSU has to cross Mississippi and Alabama.

Unless Coach Miles has done something about his Offensive Coordinator and his Defensive Coordinator(s), it will be all Georgia Tech game. I understand, that Miles was on his way to the west (left) coast to recruit when the selection was made known. I guess it was not so impressive a selection, eh?

At least the team will get to play together once more. A little more experience for the quarterbacks and some NFL exposure for the seniors. Maybe it will be a good game after all.

Tuberville bowed out of Auburn. Think Lou Holtz' son will take over? I do not know who is in the offing. I know that Tennennesse opted for the ex-coach of the Raiders. He was not to good at the Raiders and so, should be just as bad at the Vols. It is the time of the Commodores! May they rise and defeat the Volunteers soundly. Any rate there is a vacancy. Could be Jimbo Fisher? A lot of new head coaches did their time at LSU. Pelini, the coach at LA Tech and maybe it will be Jimbo's shot at the big job. He is slated to replace Bobby Bowden but looks like Bobby is gonna die in place.

Sabin met his match playing Florida. Bama put up a good fight. Coach Sabin has done wonders with his team but the wonders ran out against Tebow and Company. Florida should do a number on Oklahoma. Oklahoma likes to run up the score. Don't guess they care much about the future, some of those teams are gonna rise up and do a big number on them one day, and then they will cry foul.

Will TCU appear on the LSU schedule next year? Rumor has it that they will either in 09 or 10. That would be a good game.

Saw where LA Tech is going to a bowl, the Independence Bowl. Correct me if I am wrong, but that's closer than the Sugar Bowl is to LSU to LA Tech. Oh, I guess it is about the same, say 90 miles. I mean how far is Ruston from Shreveport? LSU as been there, last time played Notre Dame and won (again, too). Good on Tech.

Understand ULL (to me it is SLI) was also bowl elligible but no selection. Would have been nice for their program.

Well, off to New York next weekend to see Will and company.
