Tinker:
Three more years of a pompous self centered selfish person , who is president because of the tormented sense of moral obligation in white liberal people, who like to treat black people special because of their colored. A racist feeling gone wild by overreaching this population back in time, where no one can go to change what happened back in history when people lived differently. The stupidity of this American population is the worst part of writing about how Barack Obama became president of the United States. It certainly was not because of his ability. No the people of the United States is now stuck with this guy because of his color.
And how could we ever forget it right because of the American News Media?

JOHNSON: Mettenberger perfected the imperfect against Georgia
10/1/2013
By LUKE JOHNSON
Tiger Rag Associate Editor
The stage was set.
Less than two minutes remaining in the ball game, his team trailing by three, Zach Mettenberger entered stage right.
Cue the nervous glances and hand-wringing and silent prayers being sent skyward from the crowd.
He had already delivered the type of virtuosic performance that would make the most accomplished players stand and clap their hands together out of respect and gratitude for the way he executed on his once hallowed ground.
All that was left was The Drive. The final act in a drama so tense my neutral-colored and objective palms were sweating in the press box.
After taking a sack on first down, Mettenberger fired an 18-yard strike to Odell Beckham to move the chains toward the inevitable.
Cue the sportswriters scribbling out descriptors of the moment in their steno pads, words that were probably illegible because they weren’t looking at the paper. They couldn’t take their eyes off what was happening on the field. What was about to happen.
The stage was set.
But the script wasn’t already written.
For what felt like the first time all night, Mettenberger and the LSU offense fell short of glory that seemed predetermined. Mettenberger’s final attempt sailed above Odell Beckham’s outstretched hands on 4th and 10.
The Georgia sideline erupted and the crowd, which very well could’ve been cheering for Mettenberger instead of the equally masterful Aaron Murray, let loose an ecstatic roar of relief.
It had a chance to be perfect. The outcast returning to conquer his native land. The hero and the villain all at once. The only ending that would’ve sufficed for the game that just unfolded.
It wasn’t perfect, though. Things never are. But Mettenberger was as close as it gets Saturday night in his old stomping grounds.
Mettenberger spent the entire week leading up to the game downplaying its importance, reciting phrases from the Big Book of Clichés like it was scripture and he was at the pulpit.
It’s just another game.
It’s only important because it’s the next game.
Well, you know what? This wasn’t just another game. This was the game. It’s human nature to go back to the place you once called your own and want to show everyone what might’ve been.
And that’s exactly what he did.
For the better part of three adrenaline-fueled hours, Mettenberger was slinging darts all over the yard at Sanford Stadium. He might’ve been playing his first meaningful football at the place where he dreamed of playing, but he looked like he had been slinging it around between the hedges his whole life.
He was impervious to a fearsome level of noise from the crowd, guiding the LSU offense up and down the field with ease despite the fact that the offense most certainly could not hear his commands.
He didn’t flinch when the Bulldogs defense consistently beat the LSU offensive line. With hands in his face and massive bodies freight-training their way toward him, Mettenberger calmly rocked and fired as though he were playing against air.
He threw the ball in tight windows, like the one he threaded one to Jarvis Landry between what looked like the entire Georgia defense for 25 yards on third and 10.
He was clutch, like when he found Odell Beckham Jr. for a first down on third and forever with the Georgia student section gnashing its teeth right behind him.
He was perfect. Until the end. He finished 23-of-37 for a career-best 372 yards through the air, but it’ll be the last four passes, all of which fell incomplete, that Mettenberger will remember, and that is unfortunate.
The history books will remember it differently, but Mettenberger was for all intents and purposes a winner on Saturday. The performance he delivered in a hostile environment against a top-10 team should be remembered as the best of the last decade by an LSU quarterback, and that’s before considering the fact that Mettenberger had to be feeling the pressure of coming back home.
If there’s one thing that can be learned from the game it’s that nothing’s perfect, no matter how close it appears to be. Mettenberger’s checkered past and on-field rejuvenation that nearly 93,000 people were privileged enough to witness live was proof that imperfection can be just as awesome to watch if its done right.
After Murray kneeled away the game in an ending that didn’t suit the previous 59 minutes, a disappointed Mettenberger made his way to the visitor’s locker room, defeated for a day but not finished writing his story.
Exit, stage right.
Bravo.
And, if both teams win out, encore?

What's the matter with you people? This was not the story of a young
man "returning home", "returning to his old stomping grounds". This was
the story of a Quarterback, a LSU Quarterback playing his heart out for
his TEAM. It's the story of a Quarterback who gave it his all, and still
had praise for his TEAM in its loss. Even though Mettenberger put forth
the finest display of Championship caliber football I've seen in four
decades, he's only human and he had to come off that field thinking
about how the defense could have done a better job to help him win the
game. That should be the story you should be writing about. He did his
job, and he did it while his Mother watched a home game for her and he
played an AWAY game for him. I'd bet my wallet, he never once thought,
"I'm returning home", nor "I'm back to my roots", nor "this is where it
all strted for me", nor any other media propaganda which could have
easily unsettled a lesser personality.

Thanks
for taking the time to read, George. We did, in fact, write about
Mettenberger and the LSU offense not being backed up by the defense in
our game story, which you can find here
(http://tigerrag.com/football/
Mettenberger returning to
play against the team he dreamed of playing for while growing up was
definitely one of them.
