Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
What happened to Death Valley being a frightening place to play at night? Don't answer that, but acknowledge that these paper Tigers, with a ridiculous and excessive eight home games managed to drop three of them in 2008 following last year's national championship.After slaying the Florida dragon in The Swamp earlier this year, Ole Miss and Colonel Reb were still hungry in slaying the kitties from Louisiana in their home stadium to the tune of a 31-13 victory. Top of my head, LSU's 2004 and 2008 squads have probably been among the worst post-championship teams in the BCS era. There's no shame in a 7-4 record but it is curious following a title where a small army of excellent players returned.
The day belonged to Ole Miss, however.
Today's defeat is another mark on a slightly bloodied SEC this year. The Big 12 has run away with the "best conference in college football" mythical throne this year, and the disappointing play by LSU and Georgia among others, has contributed to the modest malaise.
At least we sort of saw this coming. LSU needed an epic comeback to outlast pesky Troy last weekend. That came several weeks after a disturbing 52-38 drubbing at the hands of Georgia two weeks after another drubbing by Florida, 51-21.
Hold that Tiger? Sure thing. Today's loss was enough to empty Tiger Stadium long before the final seconds ticked away. Ole Miss' defense was brutal, holding LSU to a mere 36 rush yards and 214 total yards. On the bright side, quarterback Jarrett Lee managed to avoid adding to his ridiculous seven interceptions returned for touchdown. He did, however, come dangerously close after an errant pass that would have been taken back was dropped. That prompted the arrival of freshman quarterback Jordan Jefferson who was equally ineffective.
