How do you like these apples America?

Oh by the way let's also start trying to make same sex sexuality a marriage, you know just because we say that same sex people having sex is also a marriage. Just like opposite sex people, right. Then we can also say that cars are really trucks, and apples are just like oranges because we just said that they are. We can simply resolve our money differences between each other by calling a gold brick, a chocolate bar. We are so wise these days that we can do just about anything, right?
Somehow I still don't feel better about America, even though the college students seem to like changing frogs into princes. I keep seeing frogs for some reason. I keep feeling like the rest of the world think that the American people are indeed crazy. American Eagle please bless America, right?

VIDEO: Big Cat drill
Watch as the Tigers go head-to-head.
By LUKE JOHNSON
Tiger Rag Assistant Editor
The Big Cat drill was open to the media again on Tuesday, and there were a couple interesting battles.
I apologize for the angle on the Odell Beckham and Jerqwinick Sandolph battle, Anthony Jennings stepped right in front of me when they were about to go. But Beckham had the best showing of anyone. Also going were Ronnie Feist and Ethan Pocic, Fehoko Fanaika and Quentin Thomas, Evan Washington and Christian LaCouture and Avery Peterson and Jalen Collins. Check them out in this video.

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
Lots to report in today's daily dose, but let's start with the news of LSU picking up its 8th football commitment for the class of 2014 in Sharieff Rhaheed (DE/LB 6'2.5", 205, Fort Pierce, FL). You may remember that last week Rhaheed gave his verbal pledge and let it be known that he wanted to be a Tiger, but LSU wanted to get him on campus to meet him in person before making the offer fully committable. Rhaheed visited LSU yesterday, and, according to several reports (and his own tweet) the offer and Rhaheed’s commitment are now official. Rhaheed played several positions on his high school's team and is listed by most recruiting services as a defensive end, but word is that LSU is looking at him as an outside linebacker. Based on Rhaheed’s highlight video, he seems like a nice get for Coach Miles.
In other football news, the Tigers practiced yesterday and will hold a scrimmage tomorrow, but today the folks at LSU will be busy with LSU's Pro Day. The event will allow 28 former Tigers to show what they can do in front of pro scouts in advance of next month’s draft in New York City. I say 28 because on this LSUSports.net Pro Day Page, 21 former Tigers are listed as participants and another seven are listed as “working out” at the event. The 21 participants include Chancey Aghayere, Drew Alleman, Chase Clement, Cleveland Davis, Josh Downs, Josh Dworaczyk, Lavar Edwards, Chris Faulk, Michael Ford, Alex Hurst, Bennie Logan, P.J. Lonergan, Tyrann Mathieu, Barkevious Mingo, Kevin Minter, Sam Montgomery, Eric Reid, Russell Shepard, Tharold Simon, Spencer Ware and Brad Wing. The seven former Tigers working out at Pro Day include Will Blackwell, Karnell Hatcher, T-Bob Hebert, Jordan Jefferson, Jarrett Lee, Alex Russian and Charles Scott.
ESPN3 will provide coverage of Pro Day starting at 1:15 p.m. CT. The former Tigers will actually get started before then with a series of tests including the vertical and broad jumps and the 225-pound bench press. The 40-yard dash, along with various other running drills, will start at 1:15 p.m, and the day will conclude with the players being put through individual position drills.
In baseball news, LSU defeated Tulane last night, 14-1, in a game that was called after eight innings because of the 10-run mercy rule. It was a great game for the Tigers as freshman right-hander Russell Reynolds (1-0) was nearly untouchable, allowing just one unearned run on four hits while striking out four. And how 'bout those Tiger bats? Alex Bregman continued his amazing hitting and recorded his fifth straight game with at least three hits by going 4-for-4 on the night. Mason Katz finished 3-for-4 with four runs batted in, adding to his NCAA-leading 41 RBI on the season.

Tyrann Mathieu at LSU pro day

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Tyrann Mathieu worked out in a No. 7 jersey Wednesday and went through drills at LSU's indoor practice facility next to Eric Reid and Tharold Simon.
The good old days, at least for one day, were back.
More From ESPN.com
Tyrann Mathieu made the headlines, but other Tigers impressed at LSU's pro day, including Russell Shepard, writes Gary Laney. BlogIt's also the biggest reason Mathieu is such an intriguing prospect. Booted off LSU's team in August and out of college football for the 2012 season, Mathieu presents NFL teams with what one scout in attendance called a "balancing act."
On one hand, there are the physical skills, evident during drills Wednesday. On the other hand, there are the off-the-field issues that make him a risk for any team willing to take him. While former teammates boosted their stock with great test results -- Simon's 4.50-second 40-yard dash and Michael Ford's 4.4 40 and 39.5-inch vertical leap stand out -- physical ability isn't Mathieu's big test.
Mathieu didn't even feel the need to go through physical testing after a strong performance at the NFL scouting combine.
The bigger goal for him is convincing teams that he won't be a locker room detriment.
"I think I'm doing a pretty good job," Mathieu said at the end of his workout. "The way I'm carrying myself, with the combine and with the way pro day just went, we're looking forward to the future, looking forward to being part of somebody's team."

LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2011,
returned to the school Wednesday to take part in pro day.
More importantly, he carried himself in a professional manner, mindful that NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel in attendance are all well-versed in his history and are particularly mindful of how he presents himself.
"I think they know everything already (about my background)," Mathieu said. "I think they just want you to be honest with them. That was my best friend coming into this offseason and going into this draft was, just be honest, and open."
Mathieu said he knows he let his team down. But he also said he wants to impress on teams that he brings positive attributes to a locker room as well.
"I think back at LSU, and I was a true leader," Mathieu said. "I know I made some mistakes, but I think was a leader for my teammates and I was always helping those guys."
Reid affirmed Mathieu's locker room role, noting the Tigers missed him in 2012.
"I missed being on the field with him," Reid said. "He did good. He can fly. He did everything I expected him to do and better.
"Somebody's going to take a chance on him, and they are going to get a great player."

Jeremy Hill could be LSU's X factor in 2013
March, 26, 2013
By
Edward Aschoff | ESPN.co
With spring practice in full swing, all eyes are on Zach Mettenberger and LSU's passing offense. And that trend should continue through fall practice and once the season finally gets here.

AP Photo/Gerald HerbertFollowing a 12-touchdown season in 2012, Jeremy Hill aims to keep the Tigers running next season.In fact, he could be the X factor in LSU's offense.
The Tigers want to throw the ball more, and probably will with Cameron's philosophy and all of Mettenberger's receiving targets returning, but a powerful running game has always been in Les Miles' arsenal. Having a bullish back like Hill, who resumes his role as LSU's No. 1 running back, will help continue that trend.
But like Mettenberger a year ago, there will be a lot of pressure on Hill to perform. He arrived with a load of hype last year, and once he took over as the starter midway through the season, he was one of the most exciting running backs to watch in the SEC. He finished the year with 755 yards and 12 touchdowns. He started five of the 11 games he played in.
Starting with the South Carolina game in early October, Hill carried the ball at least 12 times each game during the last two months of the season. During that span, he gained 124 yards in a win over the Gamecocks and 127 yards in a win over Texas A&M a week later. He rushed for three touchdowns in those games and averaged more than 7 yards a carry in both outings. A week later, he carried the ball 29 times for 107 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Alabama.
His numbers dipped in the final three games of the season, but he came roaring back for three quarters against Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. After rushing for 124 yards and two touchdowns (averaging 10.3 yards per carry along the way), he didn't touch the ball at all in the fourth quarter, and the Tigers let a 24-13 lead slip away inside the Georgia Dome.

On the season, Hill averaged a rugged 5.3 yards per carry. He also gained 490 of his yards on first down, averaging 6.1 yards per carry. Eleven of his touchdowns also came on first down, and he rushed for 291 of his yards (5.6 yards per carry) and six touchdowns in the fourth quarter, making the Chick-fil-A Bowl game plan in the fourth quarter that much more perplexing.
Mettenberger should be better this fall, but Hill will have to pick up where he left off and be able to carry even more of the load. He'll be able to get breathers from Alfred Blue and Kenny Hilliard, but Hill will be the focal point of the running game. He has a great combination of size and speed and packs quite the punch, making it hard to prevent him from toughing out a couple extra hards on every run.
People continue to pump up guys like Todd Gurley and T.J. Yeldon -- and for good reason -- but keep two eyes on Hill this fall. He has all the talent to be a special player in this league, and if the passing game gets going, Hill will be freed up to do even more in 2013 ... and that's not a good thing for opposing defenses.

The BCS commissioners will meet April 23-25 in Pasadena, Calif., to officially announce the first championship site and other details about the upcoming playoff.
In January, sources told ESPN that Cowboys Stadium was the "prohibitive favorite" to host the game. Because Cowboys Stadium, which hosts the AT&T Cotton Bowl, is such an overwhelming favorite for the inaugural championship, several communities opted not to bid, sources said.
"It's pretty clear to everyone that it's headed to Cowboys Stadium," an industry source said.
Still, Tampa Bay, which has hosted four Super Bowls and the men's and women's Final Four, bid for the game. This could make a favorable impression and help its chances in landing a future championship game, sources said.

ESPNDallas.com weighs in on issues facing Big 12 South teams, as well as Texas A&M, TCU, SMU, UNT and other area colleges. Blog• Big 12 Blog
• Blog network: College Football Nation
To bid for the inaugural championship game, stadiums had to meet a minimum 65,000-seat requirement. Also cities could not host a semifinal game and the championship in the same year.
Besides expecting to land college football's new title game, Cowboys Stadium also will host the NCAA's men's Final Four nine months earlier, on April 5 and 7, 2014.
It's anticipated that this summer, the yet-to-be-named playoff is expected to start accepting bids for the Jan. 11, 2016, and Jan. 9, 2017, championship games, sources said.
