    From an e=mail I recieved tonight from a high school buddy.


    Twas a week before Thanksgiving and all through the South
    A rumor was stirring, spread from mouth to mouth

    There's some Tigers they say that can't be defeated
    And few Ole Miss rebels who should have retreated

    On a Saturday night in Oxford they'll meet
    And only for one will the victory be sweet

    The Rebels have convinced themselves, they feel they can win
    But I just don't think they know the Sh*t they are in...

    The nations best defense led by a former prison guard
    Will not allow Manning to score, maybe not gain a yard...

    Four running backs, three receivers and a leader named Matt
    This damn game's Nielson rating might beat the Cat in the Hat...

    Poor Mississippi fans...confused as can be
    And Eli choked up on national TV

    Hand it to them I say...second place isn't bad....
    You could be old Auburn, that would really be sad.

    So for all of you Tigers with heads held so high...
    Take off your hats, be respectful, don't sigh...

    Raise up your voices, and shout with pure bliss,
    "Geaux LSU Tigers and go to hell old Ole Miss!"

    The cat in the hat
    In Oxford were at

    To play LSU
    Was something to view

    There came a young man
    And most were a fan

    Manning was his name
    And he played a great game

    The tigers were mistified
    When they saw rebel pride

    They thought we would score none
    And were sad when we won

    All thoughts of playing in the Sugar bowl
    Were lost with the victory we stole

    The team that lost
    Had to accept the cost

    And for all and for each
    Accept the bowl Peach

    Many times they'll remember
    That day in November

    When a scrappy bunch
    Ate their lunch

    And the boys wearing red
    Put the tigers to bed

    With tears in their eyes
    The bayou boys realize

    That Ole Miss is the best
    In the SEC's west

    Another version

    Twas The Night Before Ole Miss (version 2) by CJ Cox

    Twas the night before the big game
    And my happy ass is stuck in China
    No, I usually don’t complain
    I’m not normally a whiner

    But tomorrow is the big game
    For all Tiger fans to see
    My fighting Tigers will WIN
    Everyone will see but Me

    But thanks to www.lsusports.net
    For the audio they send
    I’ll listen to the game
    From the first play to the end

    Go Mauck, Go Clayton, and all our running backs
    Our offensive line, a barbed wire fence
    Go Corey Webster, you never give up
    And the rest of the guys on Defense

    And there goes Skyler Green
    Receiving the kick
    Man they won’t catch him today
    He’s just too dam quick

    So Eli and company
    Don’t be too sad
    When the Tigers taste victory tomorrow
    We’ll all be glad

    And dare to think
    Of an Oklahoma or USC loss
    And Tigers in the Title game
    The Superdome may blast off!

    Geaux Tigers!

    Damn good post, LSUTIGERTPAW, sorry you can't watch on TV. Maybe someone can send you a tape. Going to be a great game. Good luck, and thanks again.

    Re: Another version

    lsutigerpaw, it says your location is Palm Island Resort, China. Palm Island Resort??? Are you sure you're not in Florida or California? Palm Island Resort sounds like a place with perfect weather and great golf courses.

    Palm Island Resort

    Yes, Palm Island Resort is a very nice place with a Great golf course.
    China is very contrasting, poverty on one corner and resorts on the other.
    I just spent 13 months in Japan, now 2-3 years in China.
    Besides missing my Tigers, I'm having a great time.
    Although a communist country, there is no signs of it. People here, and Yokohama, are very nice. They all want to be like Americans or go to America.
    But from what I learned so far, there are a lot of nice things about Asia that I wish we would have maintained in the US.
    Crime is very low to non existent, no stupid law suits for every crazy reason, people take pride in their jobs, and they all have a common respect for each other.

    Just like in the US 30 years ago.

    Well, thats it for now, Geaux Tigers! I'm listening at 4:30am.
