Some stand at the base of the mountain and look up and see the future ... hard work to climb back to the top ... one week at a time ... Nick knows the treachery of the path ... all too well ... After a 2003 season ... LSU stands atop the SEC winning in 2001 and 2003 with only an Arkansas fluke keeping LSU out of the 2002 SECCG ... that's Dominance ... a replay of the SECCG tells me all I need to know about LSU coach Nick Saban ... late in the game ... with the game out of reach ... the guy's raving about a concentration lapse from one of his players in the secondary ... he let up in those 60 minutes ... a No-No LSU recruiting has soared above the other programs ... literally the best SEC recruiting this millenium ... LSU has the fastest (not even close), the strongest (not even close) and the most talented big men "in the trenches" ... where it counts ... and in the secondary with Linebacking charging up fast ... Add an ~I~N~D~O~M~I~T~A~B~L~E~ ~D~E~E~ together with a budding passing game and you have a dynasty to rule the SEC the likes of which we haven't seen ... since Spurrier kicked everybody's azz in the 90's And ... we have Saban ... Coach of the Year ... for probably the next seven years ... or even longer ... developing talent like there's no tomorrow The rest of the SEC knows it ... the players know it ... the coaches breathe it like a contagion ... LSU FB is infected ... With a mental WINNING "BELIEF SYSTEM" ... The players really believe and will be allowed to let up ... for even a second ~O~N~L~Y~ ~L~S~U~ ~C~A~N~ ~B~E~A~T~ ~L~S~U~ ~N~O~W~ With just a little luck ... LSU will roll in the next 3 years ... 33-0 during regular season, 3-0 during SECCG and who knows during BCS warfare ... Can it happen? I won't bet against Saban with a full arsenal at his disposal ... and LSU covered the spread in all but 2 games last season ... absolutely the hottest team in College FB Georgia is replaced with Tennessee in 2005 & 2006 ... I can't wait til LSU gets hold of Phat Phulmer's bunch in their own backyard. 2004 (called a tough schedule ... nah) 09/04/04 Oregon State Baton Rouge 09/11/04 Arkansas St. Baton Rouge 09/18/04 Auburn Auburn 09/25/04 Mississippi St. Baton Rouge 10/02/04 Georgia Athens 10/09/04 Florida Gainesville 10/23/04 Troy State Baton Rouge 10/30/04 Vanderbilt Baton Rouge 11/13/04 Alabama Baton Rouge 11/20/04 Ole Miss Baton Rouge 11/26/04 Arkansas Little Rock 2005 (great schedule ...

Sept 3rd???? Nah, you gotta get in atleast 2 full days of tailgaiting b4 the first kickoff of the season...
Yeah I know And I would leave earlier then that if I could but the Army doesn't understand things like that. And since I'm saving my leave for the SECCG I can't leave until the work day ends on Sept 3rd
Hey, Parso ... congrats on your cameo appearance in the LSU season highlight DVD ... saw you in the Georgia game in the end zone You looked like you were "TAIL-gate-ing" for two days before the game :wink:
Gotta love the Cool Hand Luke reference...I watched it from wire-to-wire for the first time ever on Saturday afternoon...I never realized what all the fuss was about... "What we have here...is....a failure....to communicate..." LOL!
Haha, that's actually my roommate in the suite, I'm the other guy. We haven't gotten to see the dvd yet. That picture is from the 1st UGA game at about 8am. We started tailgating, aka drinking ALOT at like 7:30am. He ended up passing out right there for like 30min b4 they opened the gates. That was a great day...
ha... i guess you heard that quote a gazillion times and didn't know that's where it originated? yeah great movie. today a movie like that wouldnt make it...u need explosions throughout to hold the attention of most. Kinda cool when watching the old movies that "nothing" is happening yet the movies are much longer and much more interesting since they have to develop the characters. oops, didnt mean to go off on a tangent and hijack the thread.
