None too pleased to have received a newsletter from onepete.com asking for more $$---$3,000 more---as apparently three weeks isn't enough time to get a firm estimate on a billboard in Los Angeles (the $10 estimate was off, it seems). Baton Rouge, apparently, does not present similar problems to those interested in buying advertisments:
Right. People actually care about the crystal football. Especially those chumps in 2004. Hockey...that's funny.
Yeah, just like the NCAA D-I teams were contractually obligated to the Bowl Championship Series as the method to determine National Champions...the obligation they thumbed their noses at in '03, only to wholeheartedly embrace the following year. So, honestly, how do you 'win' something without playing for it? I'm still waiting on an answer for that. Yeah, put your little billboard up around here. See how long it lasts.
This is without doubt the lamest comeback USC could give. Instead of coming up with something original, they are giving back a billboard? Please, this won't get any news. No one cares. The fact the USC pussies are so upset is what is getting a lot of the news now
Hockey...isn't that a bunch of white guys moving around wildly and not scoring much? Kinda like most of your high school proms?
This whole thing is really getting retarded when you think about it. I'll admit, I think the idea is really funny. But I thought it was a joke, not something that would actually happen. Look, I hated the USC/media bandwagon parade and all that talk of 3-pete... Many said they were better than us in 2003 with nothing to really back it up. Yes, I do believe it would have been really tough for anyone to beat LSU in the Sugar Bowl that year for the National Championship with the kind of atmosphere and team we had. LSU's defense shut down a great OU team statistically like no one ever did. K. State beat them worse, but they didn't shut down OU's offense like LSU did. And most all of the media said OU would be near impossible to beat coming off of a loss because they were still one of the greatest teams ever. Still, LSU won and it was only remotely close because of 2 totally bogus calls on a successful field goal that would have made it 24-7. And most likely, USC wouldn't have scored much at all against that defense either. But we'll never really know. But that doesn't matter. LSU was given the crystal football and called "National Champions" that night. USC never got that moment on the field after their game. And now, IT'S OVER. It's time to LET IT GO and move on. When they lost to Texas I loved it because of all the 3-pete talk, etc. It was an unbelievable game and a great way to end this whole thing. We (LSU fans) got the last laugh because there was no 3-pete to claim. And as soon as the game was over Sportscenter's hosts talked about LSU being champs in 2003 and how everyone should remember that now that USC was not bringing home the title. That was enough for me. Most of the media were probably crying that night. Yet, we're still dragging this thing on. Are we that insecure as fans? I still see the "FUSC" stickers on cars. Look, I celebrated that night and enjoyed that week like I'm sure most LSU fans did. I too wiped my azzz with a picture of O.J. Simpson that night...but come on. We want to spend thousands of dollars on a billboard that will really do nothing but piss most people in that area off. It's a waste of money that could be used for something good (like finding the "real killer" of O.J.'s wife) . If the billboard was up like a week or so after the game, that would have at least been timely. I think this makes our fans appear small and jealous because we're still thinking about USC. Yeah, I know the message is supposed to be directed at the media, but still...It just makes it look like LSU fans are really bored with life. And we are. Look at me, I'm posting on a message board at 11:00 in the morning, I just confirmed it. Of course, I'm still not bored enough to send my money in for this. I don't have a problem with anyone who does send their money in, but couldn't that money being sent in be used for something better. And yes, I realize any excess money would go to Katrina victims or whatever, but that'll be like $2 if it does exceed the amount. Additionally, the billboard should read Zero-Pete because according to the NCAA, no one has ever won a national championship in men's Div.I football. They say that they don't name a champion, even though everyone knows that the BCS was created to basically be the NCAA's way of naming one champ without actually admitting it. How about a billboard that says "The NCAA needs to grow a set of balls, stop being pu$$ie$ and name a true national champion in men's football." Now, that everyone could get behind. If Auburn fans can move on, so can we. I mean, no one got cheated more than them. They didn't even get a share of the title and they went undefeated. It shows how pathetic the AP voters can be. I do believe Auburn could have beaten USC on a really good night. They got the biggest slap of all. Anyway, that's my opinion. But I do say if the bigger USC moron actually puts up his lame sign first...ahhhhhhh, then what the hell, put the billboard up and on the opposite side of the billboard put a picture of Nick Saban mooning the camera.
