it sucks too!!!! the govment can't get paid from MJ sells. they do from cigs Co.tho.and all that campaign money to potential candidates helps as well.I guess you can't bite the hand that feeds you huh!!.

I am kinda pissed about this, as I was very much looking forward to watching Lee just abuse Tryann like a child.

Hey, Trav! Been super busy, but I'll be checking in a lot more often. I'm surprised some consider Oregon the team to beat in the PAC over USC.

I was already intensely worried about facing Barkley/Woods/Lee with Tyrann helping out. Now it is far more daunting a task. Still, we've got a very deep secondary, but few teams can lose a game-changing talent the level of Mathieu and not feel the loss. I fully expect USC to make the title game. How is the USC depth looking this year? Injuries can cripple any team's run, but are you guys thinner due to the sanctions?

I thought the Reggie Bush "scandal" was a trumped up charge by the NCAA, and sure enough the Saints felt the same thing from the NFL this year. It's sad to see some buy into the kool-aid that USC was out of control or that the Saints wanted to cripple opponents as if these types of things don't go on at every university/team. Anyway, glad to see you guys in contention despite the sanctions especially with Barkley coming back. That's the best way to give the middle finger to the NCAA. Hopefully my Saints do the same and make it to the Super Bowl.

LSU faced Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl two years ago with Patrick Peterson and Mo Claiborne on the field at corner. Three defensive backs forced 4 turnovers that night. All freshmen players -- Mathieu, Reid, and Simon. Tharold and Eric are now juniors and we have talented kids beneath them. We also have a new secondary coach who stresses more technique. We had talent galore at defensive back under Ron Cooper, but I think our fundamentals might be better under Corey Raymond.

And I agree that Tyrann's cover skills were his weak point. He was a playmaker, though, and it's tough to lose those.

Yup. Agree with what you said. However, if Mettenberger handles the passing game as expected... It will negate his loss, some. Two passing TDs a game will be a great improvement.

Our depth at CB:
1. Tharhold Simon Jr
2. Jalen Collins RSFr
3. Jalen Mills Fr
4. Dwayne Thomas Fr
5. Jernquick Sandolph Fr

S:
1. Eric Reid Jr
2. Craig Loston RSJr
3. Ronald Martin So
4. Micah Eugene RSFr

Nickel:
1. Micah Eugene RSFr

Glad I won't have to hear all that stupid honeybadger shit this season.

Oddly enough, Tyrann didn't like the nickname at all. It eventually blew up, but he wasn't a proponent of it. My understanding is that he's a good kid, but obviously he had some issues he wasn't willing to work through.

How is LSU going to score any points this season now?

TLK

I'm still willing to bet he'll be on somebody's All American team come the end of the season.

That's what I'm reading, as well.
