Do you think the 2008 LSU football season is tough? Do you think this season is any tougher than the 2007 one? We had an interesting conversation about this the other day with a really nice guy from Georgia. Obviously the man wan’t the biggest Tigers fan, but he was very knowledgeable, and his argument is [...] - [Read more]

Alec and I will be heading to the 2008 LSU Tailgate Kickoff Party this year. This is an LSU tailgating party that is sponsored by Tiger Central off of Greenwell Springs.

Over the course of the past month or so (yeah...it took that long!), weve been participating in another mock draft via e-mail. The draft was only four rounds and consisted of other fantasy football bloggers, including Read more]

Hey everybody, hopefully youre enjoying your fantasy football off-season! Unlike my co-blogger Matt, I actually enjoy fantasy baseball quite a bit (Im in third place, while Matt is in fifth), so Im not chomping at the bit quite as much as he is for the football season, but Im getting there. With the NFL draft done, its time to start thinking about the upcoming year. Over the next few weeks, Ill try to get a decent set of power rankings up on the site, starting with quarterbacks this week.... - [Read more]

We just bought a cool 2009 LSU calendar that we want to show you all. It’s pretty neat. This is a vintage 2009 LSU football calendar. Basically it looks like a throw back to the early days of football. Pretty neat huh? We’re going to wait until we get it in the mail to decide [...] - [Read more]

As had been recently anticipated given OSullivans (hereinafter "Sully") unexpectedly decent preseason, head coach Mike Nolans lack of trust in Smith, and Sullys understand of the Martz system, the 49ers have done what was near-unthinkable a month ago and promoted a 29-year-old journeyman QB over the 2005 #1 overall draft pick. Smith had been thought of by some as a sleeper pick this season, but unless... - [Read more]

Draftmix is a website that offers a novel approach to fantasy sports. A Draftmix "league" is a very short-term commitment - it lasts only a week. You participate in a normal fantasy football-style draft on a Wednesday, drafting players who you think will put up the best... - [Read more]

A few nights ago, Matt and I participated in our keeper leagues draft (see our leagues rules here). As those of you who have already experienced a keeper/dynasty league know, it is quite a bit different than a standard league draft. For those of you who have not been lucky enough to partake in this kind of league before though, I just wanted to give you an... - [Read more]

With a whole friggin month still to go before football season, and my fantasy baseball teams in various states of disarray, Ive got a serious jones for some fantasy action. Thank goodness for ESPNs Jim Caple and his scoring system for fantasy Olympics, which involves drafting athletes from a variety of Olympic sports. Scoring is quite simple, and actually makes a lot of... - [Read more]

We just love this LSU video. It starts off with a little fluff, but around 40 seconds in you get to watch the Billy Cannon Halloween run. It just doesn’t get any better than this. We would pay just about anything to have seen Billy Cannon score for the win in person. Were any of [...] - [Read more]

Im sure tonight Jeff Garcia can sleep a little bit easier, knowing that he is still the starting quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I wish I could say the same for Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemens though, who saw their dreams of leading the New York Jets to another disappointing season come crashing down when the Packers traded Brett Favre to the Jets last night for a conditional... - [Read more]

Although I only drafted the man formerly known as Chad Johnson in one of my leagues, I find it hilarious that he officially changed his last name to Ocho Cinco, and now that is the name youll be seeing while reviewing your rosters for this weekend. Looks like most of the major fantasy sites are up to date...Yahoo, Read more]

Our Tigers came out with a passion to start the 2008 season against Appalachian State!
