I'm not going to lie, I was excited about Meyers, i thought that could come in and strengthen any weak spots in our line. Here is to hoping we don't need him next year. I also have a feeling this recruiting class is not going to be spectacular. I do not believe that we will land Rouse, Jackson, Bennett, RP, Shelly. I think we will have a very sub par class, that will make everyone think LSU will be hurting, when actually we are fine... I am of the opinion that we could have 0 commits this year and still be fine because Les will have all year to talk to '06 recruits. Although i would love for us to get all the guys above, I just don't see any of them commiting to a program with so much talent that they would all either redshirt or ride the bench.

The German Army coined this term of respect for U.S. Marines during World War I. In the summer of 1918 the German Army was driving toward Paris. The French Army was in full retreat. In a desperate effort to save Paris, the newly arrived U.S. Marines were thrown into the breach. In June 1918, in bitter fighting lasting for weeks, Marines repeatedly repulsed the Germans in Belleau Wood. The German drive toward Paris sputtered, fizzled, and died. Then the Marines attacked and swept the Germans back out of Belleau Wood. Paris had been saved. The tide of war had turned. Five months later Germany would be forced to accept an armistice. The battle tenacity and fury of the U.S. Marines had stunned the Germans. In their official reports they called the Marines "teufel hunden," meaning Devil Dogs, the ferocious mountain dogs of Bavarian folklore.
