Can love take you all the way to heaven?

Oh man! The days are now becoming shorter as the fall air starts to become cooler than what it felt like before. And that the long hot summer that felt so very hot around the countryside where we live is just about over with. And that means that the LSU football team is only days away from playing in yet another college football season, inside of LSU Tiger Stadium.

College football is a very rough and tough sport that these well trained young men truly need to dress as safely as they can to play. Taped inside their football equipment as they keep trying to protect themselves from the serious injuries they could suffer from when playing against the other strong and fast growing young men who virtually take delight from running into each other when and wherever they can.

That the spirit of the thing is the thing in college football and that this human emotion has become the deep feeling inside of these college football players who are playing the game today. And that the LSU football fans now know the deal before the last dying days of summer are given way to the kickoff in yet another LSU college football season, that you and I enjoy so much come hell or high water.

Can these members on this 2015 LSU college football team become champions of the SEC this college football season? You bet your life they can. Les Miles is not the man that I would have hired as the LSU Head College Football Coach, and has never impressed me hardly at all. But my opinion of Les Miles coaching ability has nothing at all to do with how well the LSU college football players are going to play, as an efficient college football team. No! That responsibility is theirs, and them alone. The only person that they can blame for not making a good play, on each and every play, is themselves. And no one else's fault but your own tigers.

I wish that Les Miles could be the greatest Head College Football coach in all of College Football. But that still would not make the task of becoming the Champion of College football in 2015 any easier for the members on this LSU football team. Because if they are to win or lose that outcome is going to be up to them on how well they play the game. If the LSU football team beats anyone it will be because of how they are playing, and not what someone else has done, or not doing. Management is everything in the military, business, and sports, that is true enough but it is still the people who are doing the job where the true winning investment is made. And that is why recruiting is so very important. That God himself said that you are the salt of the earth so if you don’t do it how then will it be done. That he is the Alpha to Omega and that he loves us and wants you to make it there too, so can you and I do enough to make it there also?

When the whistle blows for the LSU tiger to start the game will they take that moment and opportunity to win, or lose, and how determined will they be to win the game that they play.

Les Miles really does love the LSU Tigers in every way so the question remains, can love take you all the way into Heaven? Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you." Matthew 8:13?

When Hurricane Katrina struck LSU football

Hurricane Katrina, 10 years on. As we mark the 10-year memorial of Hurricane Katrina, our LSU blog, And The Valley Shook, has an incredible piece on what things were like in Baton Rouge during the storm and its aftermath. Les Miles had yet to coach a game for the Tigers, but his presence served as a stabilizing force for people around the program.

Those three have stood by LSU and Miles in the 10 years since, but when they look back on that time, a time when they were still forming their first impressions of a new boss, words like "stoic" and "fixed point" are used to describe Miles.

"He didn't know anything about hurricanes," said [Lois Stuckey, LSU football's long-time administrative coordinator]. "He barely knew anything about Louisiana, and here he is in the middle of all this, and he just kept us going. And it got hard. You saw those helicopters flying in every day, and you didn't know what was on them -- if the people were living or dead. Sometimes you just had to cry."
