"Standing on the steps of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, it is said that Benjamin Franklin was asked by a passerby, "... what form of government do we have?" to which Franklin responded, "a republic if you can keep it."
Now, over two hundred years later, the words of John Jay ring true, "Let virtue, honor, the love of liberty ... be ... the soul of this constitution, and it will become the source of great and extensive happiness to this and future generations. Vice, ignorance, and want of vigilance, will be the only enemies able to destroy it."
No truer words were spoken. John Quincy Adams, oldest son of John Adams and sixth president of the United States, "Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it."

Tinker...2013
How do you like these counterfeit dirty low down thief's, selling out their mother and fathers, family, and friends, neighbors, country, for a few extra dollars. The price of freedom now feels like the crawling repulsive feeling of the people who are brushing aside the great work of our four fathers, only to join the present day mafia type way of doing business in America today.
I saw a picture show called once upon a time in America. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
And I thought gee could this show be a clear insight into what we live around now in America today. To my deep regret that exactly what we have now. The politically correct tramps hiding behind the front of what they really are, crooks.
The American free press might not like Americans keeping their guns, but I'm keeping my gun anyway. The next time that I am around a TV reporter I'm going to kick him in a very bad spot!
P.S. Why is the American economy not coming back to full production? Because everyone know the truth about who's running the place. Would you trust a bunch of crooks with your money?

TCU veteran defense to prepare for an LSU offense now with Cameron calling plays or an LSU defense with quite a few new moving parts to prepare for a TCU offense that will not name a starting QB probably right up until the game most likely.
Know its early but just reacting to article in Dallas Morning News about their QB situation and the fact that they are running neck and neck for the starting job.

I for one was more then worried about losing 11 experience juniors from LSU 2012 football team.
But after reviewing the LSU Gameday column http://gamedayr.com/gamedayr/lsu-tigers-freshmen-most- likely-to-play-in-2013/ , It looks like we can still make a good fight out of this coming LSU football season. These guys are some great looking replacement that should indeed do a good job, filling in for the good LSU football players who left for the NFL draft in 2012. Leaving this 2013 LSU football team holding the bag. So I feel much better about that problem.
However, be that as it may, the question still remains. Will the LSU QB play efficient enough to keep moving the 2013 LSU football team down the football field. If Zach does do a good job. LSU will be right in the very thick of the championship battle. Can Cam get Zach playing QB good enough, that is my big question?
1. Kendell Beckwith – LB, Jackson, LA; 6-3, 228…freshman, What is certain, however, is that Miles was more than delighted to fend off Nick Saban and Alabama, who heavily pursued the elite talent.
2. Fehoko Fanaika – OL, San Mateo, CA; 6-6, 340…junior college transfer. LSU eventually won out over Florida and Georgia, and the Tigers may already have a starting position waiting for Fanaika at one of the tackle spots.
3. Quantavius Leslie – WR, Raymond, MS; 6-4, 191… junior college transfer. If Leslie does indeed qualify, he’s almost a lock to start.
4. DeSean Smith – TE, Lake Charles, LA; 6-4, 222…freshman, Smith may have the biggest upside of any player LSU signed.
5. Frank Herron – DE, Memphis, TN; 6-5, 260… five-star freshman. LSU had to fight off a scary, eleventh-hour push from Texas to secure Herron’s services,

Larry Jones first arrived at LSU when Harry Truman was president and America was at odds with Korea the first time. The year was 1951, a decade before the birth of the current U.S. president. Jones was recruited to TigerTown by Gaynell Tinsley after a stellar prep career at Little Rock High School, the same school that produced baseball Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson. It would become Little Rock Central High School-site of the infamous 1957 integration struggle that ended after President Eisenhower called in federal troops.
Jones was among more than seven thousand students in his graduating class and was destined for an impressive stay at LSU where he started at both center and linebacker for the 1953 and 1954 Tigers. “The game has become a lot quicker,” muses Jones about his chances of playing in today’s game.
Jones played on the last two squads fielded by Tinsley as the Bengals staggered to a 10-9-3 mark in 1953-54. Those seasons ushered the beginning of the Paul Dietzel Era, and Jones was coaching the Chinese Bandits as an assistant in 1958 when LSU won it all. Jones followed his boss, Dietzel, to Army and South Carolina and ultimately became head coach at Florida State in 1971.
Jones had two good seasons at Tallahassee and one disastrous year. In 1973, the Seminoles went 0-11, and a once promising head coaching career for Jones closed at age 39. Assistant coaches who tutored under him included Bill Parcells, Lou Holtz, Mack Brown, Steve Sloan and Bill Battle. A few years after Jones departed FSU, Dietzel again called his friend and associate to come to work for him. Jones became assistant athletic director to Tall Paul in 1978.
Four years later, Dietzel was forced out as AD, and Jones was selected as the interim replacement until the arrival of Bob Brodhead from Miami. Realizing the awkward nature of succeeding his friend and mentor, Jones remarked at his first press conference, “I am not here to castigate Paul Dietzel.”
When Brodhead was bounced from the post in 1986 because of an array of not-by-the-book shenanigans, Jones again served as interim AD and competed for the position against Joe Dean. When Dean was selected, Jones was a good foot soldier for a few years and then found his true calling as a fundraiser for LSU.
In 24 years of courting alumni to support his and their alma mater, Jones has raised more than $35 million in contributions. During that time, he has assisted in the construction of the Lod Cook Alumni Center, the Cook Hotel and Conference Center, the Jack and Priscilla Andonie Museum, the LSU War Memorial, Tiger Walk and Tiger Plaza.
Jones employs old fashioned techniques to stay in touch with donors. Handwritten notes are his trademark, and he has friends all over the United States. Jones may be the only man on the planet who counts both Dale Brown and Bob Knight as good friends. He got to know Brown during the Tigers rise to prominence on the court in the late Seventies and early Eighties. Jones knew Knight when the basketball legend was coaching at Army. The two played pickup games against each other, and reports are that the 6′1 Jones stayed even with the 6′5 Knight.
Jones has been battling the ravages of esophageal cancer the past nine months and has been fed through tubes. The lone time he had part of a meal by hand was last Thanksgiving. “I couldn’t stand it any longer,” Jones recalls. “So I tried to eat, and I got sick.”
Larry Jones will turn 80 on Dec. 18. LSU has been the driving force in his career from 17 to 79. He has two degrees from the Ole War Skule, and nobody loves LSU more than the coach who has been a fixture at LSU during the terms of nine U.S presidents.
Jones is the 2013 LSU Alumnus of the Year and will be inducted into the LSU Alumni Association Hall of Distinction on April 12 at the Lod Cook Center. Other inductees include football stalwart Kevin Mawae and former baseball standout Mike Papajohn.
LSU should let the sunshine in on presidential search process
Larry Jones is a classic example of a professional who was not injured by being named publicly as a finalist for a job he did not receive. In 1987, Joe Dean was chosen as AD over Jones and fellow finalists Eddie Jones of the Miami Dolphins and John David Crow of Texas A&M.
A year earlier, Mike Archer was named LSU football coach even though Steve Spurrier and Mike Shanahan publicly sought the position. Spurrier and Shanahan were not scarred by public rejection.
Earlier this month, the LSU Board of Supervisors hired F. King Alexander of California State Long Beach as its new president. The names of the other candidates have not been revealed by the Board with Associate Athletic Director Herb Vincent noting that secrecy is assured to applicants.
Vincent is another example of a talented man not harmed by being a rebuffed finalist. Herb lost a close race for athletic director to Joe Alleva, but has continued to do fine work on campus and would be the frontrunner to become AD if Alleva left town.
The members of the LSU Board do not forfeit their First Amendment rights when they join the august body that runs the state’s flagship university. In fact, one of the members is a newspaper publisher-Rolfe McCollister of the Baton Rouge Business Report.
The state’s open meetings laws may have been violated, so McCollister could do his reading public a service and accidentally drop the names of the other finalists on the floor of his office in front of his publication’s executive editor - former Tiger Rag editor J.R. Ball.
Rolfe could then leave the room and have J.R. provide the public with information it should have. As it is, the LSU Board is in the embarrassing position of not only being sued on this front by the Baton Rouge Advocate, but also by the LSU Daily Reveille, the student newspaper.
The Reveille’s 21-year-old editor, Andrea Gallo, is showing more fortitude in her pursuit of the truth than the seasoned professionals who comprise the LSU Board of Supervisors
