The LSU Tigers are the national college football champions! Last night's 38-24 mudhole-stomping of Ohio State was pure pleasure in my house. I was the fool driving through downtown Dallas this morning with my windows down, playing the LSU Fight Song at maximum volume on my car radio. O happy day! Man, I wish I was back in Baton Rouge today. Father Joseph, one of our priests, was at the house last night to do a house blessing and to watch some of the game with us. After that awful start, I thought about making him stand there with his hands raised, praying Moses-like for LSU against the Buckeye Amalekites; I would have had Matthew and Lucas hold his arms high if he got tired, just like in the Hebrew Bible. That wasn't necessary. What a great night. What a great team.
Victory for LSU!

Congratulations to the Bayou Bengals. Keep the trophy down South.
Just wait till basketball and baseball.
Geaux Tigers!!!!!
I am thrilled
Oh and I am not for a playoff. Why should College become like the NFL? Now that the Saints are out I am only tuning in to see how the manning boys are doing and hoping that the Cowboys lose :)
I hear a lot of fans say they want a playoff but it would be negative in a lot of ways. Especially to the players that too be honest need another bye week instead of more games.
LSU was a Mash Uiiot going into the SEC game. THe hitting is getting harder and harder and soon we will have some tragic results if we add games in quick succession
Anyway Geaux Tigers 2008 National Chamrions
Still can't figure out how LSU won the title with two losses and Auburn finished 13-0 a couple of years ago and didn't even have a sniff.
I'm about as mystified by college football polls as I am about New Hampshire Democratic primary polls.
As a midwest native, I believe it's time we kicked Ohio State out of the Big Ten. Perhaps, after the past two bowl seasons, we should just kick the entire Big Ten out of the Big Ten.
I used to be opposed to a playoff because I was afraid it would cheapen the regular season. But if the BCS can produce a national champion that lost to Kentucky and Arkansas, I don't know what I'm clinging to.
