Tinker:
The America news
media should really be ashamed of themselves in the way that they have
been reporting to the American people about president Barack Obama.
This color business has just about run it course and is becoming very embarrassing to just about everyone these day.
Barack Obama is not failing because of his color but in fact because of him. And the American news media know it.
Well all I every heard was how he was trying to spread the wealth to the middle class American people who were somehow held back because they lived in a raciest country like America.

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
Good morning, Tiger Fans,
A battle of unbeaten Tigers will take place this Saturday when 6th ranked LSU (3-0) opens SEC play against Auburn (3-0, 1-0) at 6:45 p.m. (ESPN) in a sold out Tiger Stadium. LSU has won six straight SEC-openers and is 6-2 under Les Miles in conference openers. Auburn, under first-year coach Gus Malzahn, is off to a 3-0 start, which includes a 1-0 league record after beating Mississippi State 24-20 last week. While The Fighting Tigers of LSU enter the contest scoring an average of 46.0 points and allowing an average of 19.0 points per contest, Auburn enters averaging 31.0, while allowing just 17.7. LSU is 38th in the country in terms of rushing yards per game (218.67) and 44th in passing yards (269.3), while Auburn is 31st in rushing yards (238.67) and 89th in passing yards (201.7). In total defense, LSU is 10th in the country by allowing 267.7 yards per game, while Auburn is 92nd by allowing 433.7 per game. On paper, LSU has a clear advantage, but we all know that LSU-Auburn games usually come down to the wire.
There have been quite a few memorable matches between LSU and Auburn in my lifetime. The one that first comes to mind is the 1988 game that LSU won 7-6. I was a freshman at LSU that year, and I can clearly remember sitting in the student section and hearing the crowd erupt when LSU's Tommy Hodson hit Eddie Fuller in the back of the endzone on fourth down with 1:41 remaining to give the Tigers a 7-6 win over fourth-ranked Auburn. On that play, the noise from the stadium crowd registered on a seismograph across campus. If you want to revisit that legendary “Earthquake Game,” check out this video clip. Another memorable game was the 2007 contest that LSU won 30-24 in Tiger Stadium when Demetrius Byrd caught a 22-yard TD pass from Matt Flynn with just one second left to lift LSU to a 30-24 win. The play seemed to have caught Auburn off-guard as the Tigers could have attempted a 39-yard field goal for the win, but instead, in classic Les Miles style, decided to take one final shot at the endzone. You can relive that play by watching this video.
Last year’s contest against Auburn was not so memorable, and although it’s always great to beat Auburn, the game was a bit of a downer. In case you’ve forgotten, here's a video reminder. It was a sloppy, mistake-ridden game that came down to the wire and ended with LSU on top 12-10. LSU was penalized nine times for 80 yards and Mettenberger had two very costly fumbles, one of which came in the redzone. That fumble was particularly concerning considering Mettenberger had turned the ball over two times in the red-zone during the first three games of the season. Fast-forward to today and it appears that Mettenberger has really improved by leaps and bounds since that first SEC start of 2012. He has yet to throw an interception, leads the SEC in pass efficiency (205.3 rating), and has completed 45-of-69 passes for 797 yards and nine TDs.
Clearly a lot of credit for Mettenberger's improvement goes to new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Cam Cameron, but a lot also goes to receivers Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham, Jr., as well as an offensive line that has done an excellent job of pass protection. Last year at this time the receivers had a bad case of “the droppies” and the offensive line was in a state of flux, trying to find the right mix of personnel with a lot of banged up players and without All-American Chris Faulk who suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2. This year things are much different. Beckham and Landry have been running better routes and catching everything thrown their way. Combined, the two have 32 receptions for 576 yards and nine receiving touchdowns.
Landry leads the SEC in receiving touchdowns with five, while Beckham Jr. is second with four. And as for the offensive line of La’El Collins, Vadal Alexander, Elliot Porter, Trai Turner and Jerald Hawkins, they seem to be getting stronger and more comfortable in their roles with each game, and more importantly they have all remained injury-free. (This is when we should all stop to knock on wood.)
Tonight at 7 p.m. Coach Les Miles will hold his weekly radio call-in show, and in tomorrow's update I'll have a recap of what was said. The show can be heard in the Baton Rouge area on Eagle 98.1 FM as well as on the Internet in the GeauxZone on www.LSUsports.net/live.

Tiger Rag
LSU running back Jeremy Hill's performance just a glimpse of what's to come
9/17/2013 9:36:49 AM
By LUKE JOHNSONTiger Rag Assistant Editor
LSU sophomore running back Jeremy Hill saw the crease, planted his left foot in the ground and turned on the jets.
Fifty-eight yards later, Hill was back where he spent a large portion of his magnificent freshman season – in the endzone, being mobbed by teammates and cheered on by fans after he had given the Tigers a 7-0 lead in the first quarter.
It was a glimpse that Hill is nearly the man he was last season. He finished the game with a team-high 117 yards on just 11 carries, and was the only LSU running back to tote the ball in the first quarter.
But it was just a glimpse, according to both coaches and himself. As good as he was against Kent State, he is not yet where he needs to be.
"He can run, that’s not the issue,” said LSU coach Les Miles. "It’s just making sure that he sees the cuts. He hasn’t carried the ball, even in practice, significantly. We’re really getting him back and sharpening his skills to where they were last year.”
One of those missed cuts came on his second carry of the game. The LSU offensive line opened up a gaping hole on the left side and Hill hit it hard. But one quick cut to the outside could’ve turned into a huge gain, instead of the four-yarder he ended up with.
It’s part of his game that will come in time, or according to Hill, when he busts some of that rust that accumulated while he was suspended indefinitely from the team earlier this year. Part of that process was getting involved early, and Hill figures that’s why he got the starting nod against Kent State.
"I think coach just wanted to do that (starting) for me just to get the rust off and get a feel for playing the game at a high speed,” Hill said. "Seeing some of my cuts, I definitely missed a few. I’ll just go back in the film room and look at it and improve on those things for next week.”
Hill said he did what he could to stay in shape during his time away from the team. He ran the LSU lakes and worked out at the LSU U-Rec, but none of that could replace the high-intensity workouts the team was going through with strength coach Tommy Moffitt.
So he was behind the eight ball when he was reinstated to the football team. He may have been in great shape by average human being standards, but he wasn’t in football shape.
That’s coming back, though. And when Miles said Hill wasn’t at his peak level, he clarified that it didn’t have anything to do with his effort, but more with the subtle nuances of running the ball that come with game experience.
"I am not saying he is not giving us great effort, that is not what I’m saying at all,” Miles said. "What I am saying is he’s not quite there yet, but he is coming. His shape is better. You cannot go by snaps. Snaps are a great teacher, and he just hasn’t had many.”
But not everybody is convinced that Hill isn’t quite back to his old self yet.
"Was he not the guy you saw last year?” Mettenberger asked, with his trademark hint of sarcasm. "Then I can’t wait to see that. He looked pretty fine to me. If the guy from last year is so much better than the one now, I’m excited for next week.”
Everyone else seems excited by Hill’s increased role, too. The Tiger Stadium crowd went berserk when Hill crossed the goal line for the first of his two touchdowns on the day. The fans appeared to have welcomed him back to the LSU family after a trying experience this offseason, one that Hill has readily admitted was his own fault.
Now, he’s back on the field doing what he does best. It almost didn’t happen, and Hill realizes that.
"It’s a humbling experience, man,” Hill said. "I’ve been through a lot, but staying focused and humble has gotten me through it. Just coming every day to practice and working has gotten my mind off a lot of things, not being distracted.”

AUBURN, Ala. -- Whether they’re ready or not, the Auburn Tigers are in
for a war on Saturday when they leave home for the first time to face
No. 6 LSU.
“It’s going to be some helmets that get kind of messed up,” defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson said. “[Auburn equipment manager] Dana’s [Marquez] going to have a lot of work on his hands getting all that paint off the helmets, but it’s going to be different. We haven’t played anybody with this type of style this year.”
It’s
an LSU team that’s far more physical than any of Auburn’s first three
opponents. LSU features a power offense epitomized by running back Jeremy Hill,
who is a bruiser in every sense of the word. In LSU’s victory over Kent
State, the 6-foot-2, 235-pound back rushed for 117 yards and two
touchdowns on just 11 carries.
But it has been the improved play of quarterback Zach Mettenberger that has taken the LSU offense to the next level. The senior has thrown for 797 yards with nine touchdowns and no interceptions through the first three games. According to ESPN Stats & Info, he has a total quarterback rating of 91.6, up from 39.3 a season ago.
“Their quarterback has done a good job and protected the ball," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. “I believe he hasn’t thrown an interception yet, and he has thrown quite a few touchdowns. Any time you can couple that with a good run game -- which they do have a very good run game -- that is a challenge.”
For Auburn to have any shot of slowing down LSU, it has to start up front on the defensive line.
It’s a group that has had its ups and downs, but it's yet to find the right combination. The coaches have experimented with close to a dozen linemen -- veterans and newcomers alike -- and while there have been flashes, the unit has lacked consistency as a whole.
“They have had some injuries and some guys have had to step up, so you know the more consistent we can be with our personnel moving forward, the more consistent those guys will be,” Malzahn said.
In Saturday’s win over Mississippi State, Auburn welcomed back a key member of the defensive line -- senior defensive end Dee Ford, the team’s top pass rusher from a year ago and a leader on the defense. Ford missed the first two games after injuring his knee during fall camp but said it felt good to be back.

“You’re
always a little nervous when you haven’t played football, and I haven’t
played in about a month,” Ford said. “You just never know, and practice
doesn’t really simulate a game. I was just anxious to see how I play,
and I think I played well.”
In his return, Ford finished with six tackles and two quarterback hurries. It couldn’t have come at a better time for Auburn because it will need both his talent and his experience when it faces LSU this weekend. Ford gives the defensive coaches a player on whom they can rely up front as they continue to seek continuity on the line.
“Some of our younger guys have the physical ability and have really done some impressive things, but they don’t have the knowledge right now and they’re sometimes getting themselves in trouble,” Johnson said. “But Dee obviously gives us the experience and that edge capability.
“What we’re settling in on now, we’re trying to get to the point where we really feel like we got the best four and a couple of guys that rotate in.”
Regardless of who rotates in against LSU, they better come ready to play. It’s a put-up or shut-up type game for an Auburn defense that still has a lot to prove, beginning with the defensive line.

I am a machinist by trade and keep wondering just why because I am so mechanically incline that I can't also get the knack for the writing skill.
But alas I am still offensive to the readers when I try writing anything like a note, or small reply to your skillfully written sports column.
That is neither here or there with me however because I like talking about LSU football anyway.
This 2013 LSU football team is much better on offense because the improvement of Zack at QB and the added help of Cam Cameron is simply plain to see.
Of course it matters very much just who you are playing against because if Zack was up against the Green Bay Packard I dough if he would look so hot.
Auburn is a SEC football team and that is a good test for us to see what this LSU football team is made of in the coming weeks. Georgia in Athens is a heaver life. So the next two weeks will tell us LSU football fans soon enough if we are witnessing a champion in the making. Or just another good LSU tiger football team that is good enough to go play in a good bowl game after everything is said and done.
I think that we are looking at another fighting tiger championship team

The Nickname: "Fighting Tigers"
Way back in the fall of 1896, coach A.W. Jeardeau's LSU football team posted a perfect 6-0-0 record, and it was in that pigskin campaign that LSU first adopted its nickname, Tigers.
'Tigers' seemed a logical choice since most collegiate teams in that year bore the names of ferocious animals, but the underlying reason why LSU chose 'Tigers' dates back to the Civil War.
According to Arthur W. Bergeron, Jr., PhD. and the "Guide to Louisiana Confederate Military Units, 1861-1865" (LSU Press, 1989), the name Louisiana Tigers evolved from a volunteer company nicknamed the Tiger Rifles, which was organized in New Orleans. This company became a part of a battalion commanded by Major Chatham Roberdeau Wheat and was the only company of that battalion to wear the colorful Zouave uniform. In time, Wheat's entire battalion was called the Tigers.
That nickname in time was applied to all of the Louisiana troops of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The tiger symbol came from the famous Washington Artillery of New Orleans. A militia unit that traces its history back to the 1830s, the Washington Artillery had a logo that featured a snarling tiger's head. These two units first gained fame at the Battle of First Manassas on July 21, 1861. Major David French Boyd, first president of LSU after the war, had fought with the Louisiana troops in Virginia and knew the reputation of both the Tiger Rifles and Washington Artillery.
Thus when LSU football teams entered the gridiron battlefields in their fourth year of intercollegiate competition, they tagged themselves as the 'Tigers'.
It was the 1955 LSU 'fourth-quarter ball club' that helped the moniker 'Tigers' grow into the nickname, 'Fighting Tigers'.
Thanks to Arthur W. Bergeron, Jr., PhD., a historian at the Pamplin Historical Park, for contributing to the above information.
Colors: Purple and Gold
There is some discrepancy in the origin of Royal Purple and Old Gold as LSU's official colors.
It is believed that those colors were worn for the first time by an LSU team in the spring of 1893 when the LSU baseball squad beat Tulane in the first intercollegiate contest played in any sport by Louisiana State University. Team captain E.B. Young reportedly hand-picked those colors for the LSU squad.
Later that year, the first football game was played. On November 25, 1893, football coach/chemistry professor Dr. Charles Coates and some of his players went into town to purchase ribbon to adorn their gray jerseys as they prepared to play the first LSU gridiron game.
Stores were stocking ribbons in the colors of Mardi Gras -- purple, gold and green. -- for the coming Carnival season. However, none of the green had yet arrived at Reymond's Store at the corner of Third and Main streets. Coates and quarterback Ruffin Pleasant bought up all of the purple and gold stock and made it into rosettes and badges.

RAH!
"Hey Fighting Tiger"
(In 1962, at the request of Athletics Director Jim Corbett, LSU Director of Social Recreation Gene Quaw adapted the original composition of the Broadway hit “Hey Look Me Over” from the musical Wildcat to include LSU lyrics. “Hey Fighting Tigers” was played publicly for the first time at the opening game against Texas A&M, in honor of coach Charles McClendon’s first game at LSU.)
Hey, Fightin' Tigers, Fight all the way
Play, Fightin' Tigers, win the game today.
You've got the know how,
you're doing fine,
Hang on to the ball as you hit the wall
And smash right through the line
You've got to go for a touchdown
Run up the score.
Make Mike the Tiger stand right up and roar.
ROAR!
Give it all of your might as you fight tonight
and keep the goal in view.
Victory for L-S-U!
"Tiger Rag" (Hold that Tiger)
Long ago, way down in the jungle
Someone got an inspiration for a tune,
And that jingle brought from the jungle
Became famous mighty soon.
Thrills and chills it sends thru you!
Hot! so hot, it burns you too!
Tho' it's just the growl of the tiger
It was written in a syncopated way,
More and more they howl for the 'Tiger'
Ev'ry where you go today
They're shoutin'
Where's that Tiger! Where's that Tiger!
Where's that Tiger! Where's that Tiger!
Hold that Tiger! Hold that Tiger!
Hold that Tiger!
"Touchdown for LSU" (Pregame)
Tigers! Tigers! They've come to town,
They fight! They fight! Call a first down,
Just look them over, and how they can go,
Smashing the line with runs and passes
high and low.
Touchdown! Touchdown! It's Tigers' score.
Give them hell and a little bit more.
Come on you Tigers, Fight them, you Tigers,
Touchdown for LSU.
Rah! U. Rah!
