GoldRing: "People are going to start gathering to walk towards LSU tiger stadium in less then 40 days by the thousands. Into and out of the nighttime's exciting shadows flicker once again beneath the great cement walls of the LSU tiger stadium flood lights, night games were rare last year as automobiles will roll bumper, to bumper, as far as the eye can see. Acting with haste to keep parking in the smallest of places just to come and see a LSU college football game. The rest of the city's light will seem lonely in the background.
The Mississippi River has been strongly flowing it's fresh water pass the place that is now a man made riverbanks of piled up earth, for thousands of years, where LSU tiger stadium and the City of Baton Rouge Louisiana, now stands. The once virgin green tunneled foliage of tall trees, sunbeams, and illumining flowers, have scattered here and there because of the intrusion of people in the thousand of homes, cemented streets, and square shaped buildings of people living today.
Old magnolias, draped with long hanging gray moss, seem to silently tell us of a once great green forest of what was a natural nature show from years before people, long ago. Whisperers from somewhere in the night tell us of this somehow.
I heard old timers when I was very young, talking about entire forest of five hundred year old oaks trees, and giant pines, that lived in the early North America forest still in his time. My imagination could picture the tall green grass, and large spread out ferns, big trees, of untouched land back in time. I can't help but wonder why the people back then and now never stopped to only use what they needed, and did not go through with completely killing off all of the great old forest trees. That the great old trees in there own right must have shaded this beautiful land as never before.
Likewise here with us now then in the spirit of Walden pond. I know what Henry Thoreau must have felt like back then when he so clearly talked about the pond back in his time. That the natural health of our country's green beautiful land is only just a little of what it use to be. Too many people causing to much waste and not content to work a little harder for the real value of not over using Mother earth natural product.
Only a few of what was then remain with us today, and that lost is breathtaking in really. Never will I see a American forest like it once was. Never is something that is attached to death, when and where time stops. Rushing death or killing very old trees in our country's great forest that will never return in our life time, is something only insane people might do. Most people like you and me, live to share this beautiful blue green earth with the land and time that we live in. What has the stock market ever truly gained for us now, but a lot of trouble. Why does our world's economy seem not to be worth the very paper that it is written on from a once healthy valued forest tree. What a crazed history that we were born to. Wars, killing, massacres, slavery, crime of all kind, ugliness against the young, superstition, political madness for wealth and power. It is a wonder that we have advanced our civilization as far as we have till now.
But tonight for that to be that as it may, we have also inherited a lot of very good traditions. LSU is about to play a college football game again. And we are alive with the time of our life within tiger stadium, that was built only just a few miles from that grand old Mississippi river that I first thought about, because of this first LSU football game. That Tiger stadium is located in Baton Rouge Louisiana, Louisiana State University, The old war school. On the banks of the very old Mississippi river.
I will be thrilled senseless to see the new LSU Quarterback throwing a forward pass to a receiver breaking into the open field. That the LSU quarterback does not hold onto the ball to long. Releasing the football at the right moment for the best opportunity to complete the pass. Utilizing the proper timing between quarterback and receiver, not wasting that moment would simply give me a great thrill alone. To help me to heal from all the cuts and bruises that I received in the last three years. Watching young men who did not catch on, over a very long three years period of time. That we had no real choice at quarterback, and that feeling is over."

Rabalais: On money, Miles and stadiums
By Scott rabalais

Knowing how many faculty members there are on college campuses who detest major college athletics (you could fill Tiger Stadium with them and have a waiting list, especially for the club seats), one wonders if the LSU athletic department has picked up any Facebook faculty friends after the announcement late last week that it is donating $5.5 million to the university’s ailing academic side for the 2012-13 fiscal year. The money will help the university avoid staff and faculty cuts, LSU Chancellor Mike Martin said...Read more...http://theadvocate.com/

Power Ranking All 124 College Football Stadiums
By (Featured Columnist) on April 19, 2012
When it comes to college football stadiums, for some teams it is simply not fair.
Home-field advantage is a big thing in college football, and some teams have it way more than others.
There are 124 FBS college football teams, and when it comes to the stadiums they play in, they are obviously not all created equal.
There is a monumental difference from the top teams on the list to the bottom teams on the list.
Either way, here it is: a complete ranking of the college football stadiums in 2011 from 124 to 1.read and see more...http://bleacherreport.
