LSU 2014

On this morning after we reflect in the aftermath of Auburn's rout of LSU in Jordan-Hare 41 to 7.  I was worried about this game because, after all, it was LSU and they had beaten us 6 of the last 7.  In retrospect there was no need to worry.

We were there to see our Tigers start fast with a 17 to 0 first quarter lead and a 24 to 7 lead at halftime.  We cruise in the second half.  The defense looked great.  The offense was balanced.  The defense held LSU 0 for 13 on third down.  Most important things: the defense flexed its muscle.  Our run defense is getting stout, and our pass defense is improving.  McKinzy and Frost didn't start, but no matter.  Nick Marshall had a great day passing.  Sammie Coates came to life.  It feels so great to thump LSU!

This sets up an amazing game next week.  The country will looking at the Tigers going to StarkVegas.  The Bullies ripped TAMU.  We hit the daily double as Ole Miss beat the Updikes.  What a weekend of college football!

Oregon lost.  Oklahoma lost.  Alabama lost.  For what it's worth, Auburn will surely be ranked #2 in the polls.  Next week's game against State could be the most decisive game of the year.


We get there early, visit with Ben in his apartment, then wander over to the Student Union for lunch and to watch the UAT/Ole Miss game.  We leave for the stadium at the half of that game with Alabama leading 14 to 3.  I never dreamed that the Rebels would roar back to win 23 to 17. I kept watching the score on inside the stadium and the AU crowd roared when the end of the game was shown on the screen. We hit the daily double!

We buy two tickets quickly for $75 a piece.  I am stunned to see that face value if $95.  It's a full house of course.  We are at the mezzanine in plenty of time to see the pregame festivities.  Bo Jackson is honored.

 We enjoy the mezzanine as usual.  There is a man there dressed with shoulder pads and a helmet to provide side entertainment.

We say goodbye to Ben in his parking lot and head for home.  We are hungry by the time we drive thru Arby's in Sylacauga.  We return home with a big win over LSU!!!
