Tinker
Why you trashy little ingrate
they were the world that you are living in now. All that you see is what
they made. How else do you think all of this was built?
The talents of hard working people who built all of the
world you now see is from the generation after generation of people
doing their best to keep their heart and mind together. As their body's
stressed and strained against the task of doing their jobs. Working long
hours as they also supported their family members and neighbors after a
hard days work with a loving spirit and strength. That was sometimes
nothing more but exhausted nerves that refuse to quit.
Now after you hear a few conversation from some celebrity
wise guys on television you now have the nerve to tell the world that
you think that those generations of people were religious fools, and
dumb people.
Why you lazy little excrement get far far away from the
people who are laying buried here in the graveyards of hallowed ground,
because the people you are criticizing to me here and now were indeed
your betters.
My father once told me that there is no Justus in this
world Son, now I know who he was talking about. He was talking about
you, Mr. Wise Guy.
For goodness sakes you are not even
worthy of the generation of people before you. So how in the world
could you be worthy of God's blessing.
If I was you I would go read more books and stop looking
at mindless entertainment on television. And after a while comeback and
tell me who you really think we're wasteful fools after all.

Auburn
WAFFLE POWER (EARLY 1990S) It is difficult to pinpoint exactly when Coach Gus Malzahn began a tradition that continues after every home victory, but reports pin it back to his years as a high school football coach in Arkansas, from 1991 to 2005. That was when Malzahn started to celebrate home wins with trips to Waffle House. Malzahn is down home like that; his players say they have never heard him swear.
END OF THE TUBERVILLE ERA (2008) Under Coach Tommy Tuberville, Auburn finished the 2004 season undefeated. But by 2008, the record had slipped to 5-7. Enter Gene Chizik.
TREES POISONED (JAN. 27, 2011) An Alabama fan who went by Al from Dadeville called Paul Finebaum’s radio show and bragged that he had poisoned the Toomer’s Oaks, two trees on the Auburn campus that fans had “rolled” with toilet paper after important victories.
MARSHALL BOOTED (FEBRUARY 2012) Before Nick Marshall became Auburn’s starting quarterback, he went to Georgia to play cornerback in 2011. He was dismissed from that team, as reports swirled that he and two teammates had stolen money.
The dismissal took place February, and Marshall landed at Garden City Community College, where he played quarterback and threw for more than 3,000 yards in 2012. Garden City finished 7-4, and Marshall transferred once again.
He ended up at Auburn.
0-8 (NOV. 24, 2012) Two seasons after winning a national title, Auburn, in Year 4 of the Chizik era, absorbed a 49-0 beating at Alabama. That dropped the Tigers to 0-8 in Southeastern Conference play and led to Chizik’s eventual dismissal.
Those Tigers struggled late in games. They tied Mississippi, 17-17, in the first half of an October game but ultimately endured a 41-20 defeat. They matched Vanderbilt, 10-10, through the first half a week later but lost that game, too.
“In the fourth quarter, we were in the game with a few opponents,” offensive lineman Alex Kozan said. “But as the season went on, we were just getting obliterated in the fourth quarter. The confidence of the team kind of fell out. Once we couldn’t make a bowl game, it really started to go downhill fast.”

This
LSU Fighting Tiger Football teams Backfield in 2014 reads and sounds
more like a Law Firm that is in the big money business. Than a college
football teams backfield. But in reality the similarity is not so
far-fetched is it. Because surly after they show their wares to the
college football Nation they will absolutely merritt million dollar
contracts from professional football.

Now turning to football recruiting news, LSU was well represented in yesterday’s US Army All-Star game. The West team, which included LSU commits Trey Quinn, Ed Paris and Davon Godchaux (who didn’t play because of injury) won in impressive fashion by a score of 28-6.
In all-star games like those, you don’t get to see too much of any particular player because there’s so much substitution, but even so, it was easy to see that LSU linebacker commit Clifton Garrett is a special player. During the game his name was called a lot, and at one point the announcer falsely stated that Garrett was still uncommitted, and as soon as he did I heard from several of you who were very concerned. I’m hear to tell you there’s nothing to worry about with Garrett. His commitment to LSU is solid and he’s very excited about it, as you can see if this postgame video interview with him by NOLA.com. The more I see this young man play and hear him speak, the more I believe he will be a truly remarkable Tiger.
Another linebacker who made quite an impression was Kenny Young (6'2", 225, John Curtis, No. 14 on my list of Top LA Prospects). Young, who is currently uncommitted, had a sack, a tackle-for-loss, and led the team in tackles. At this time, Young’s leaders appear to be LSU, Texas A&M and Florida State. I hope LSU goes all out in recruiting Young and that he ends up a part of this class, and I predict he will.
LSU target Travonte Valentine also looked very impressive in the game, and I look for the 6-foot-3, 320-pound defensive tackle to be a Tiger when it’s all said and done. As expected, Valentine officially de-committed from Miami yesterday, due to the strong possibility of Miami head coach Al Golden going to Penn State, and publicly stated that LSU is now his leader. Valentine and Young will both be visiting LSU on the 17th, and that will be a hugely important weekend with several visitors on hand. As soon as I have a complete list I’ll let you know.
Another prospect LSU fans were watching closely in yesterday’s game is wide receiver Frank Iheanacho of Westside High in Houston. Iheanacho was LSU’s only big target to announce in the game, and he chose A&M, as expected. However, NOLA.com’s Jimmy Smith is reporting that LSU remains in very good shape with Iheanacho and that this thing is far from over. In fact, in this article entitled, “A look at LSU’s 2014 recruiting board heading into the stretch run,” Smith goes as far as to state, “I received a call from a close source who said Iheanacho’s pledge is nowhere close to a done deal for the Aggies. In fact, had the Tigers had a little more time, Iheanacho would’ve declared for LSU on Saturday.” Buckle up, Tiger Fans, this final stretch in recruiting could be quite a ride!

The Road to the National Championship

Published: January 5, 2014
Even by college football’s standards, this season was turbulent, taking
more turns than a board game. Auburn was unranked when the season
started; Florida State was 11th. The expected contenders Alabama, Oregon
and Ohio State fell by the wayside. The Tigers survived on last-second
victories, while the Seminoles won every game by at least 14 points. On
Monday night they meet in the national championship game, competing for
the sport’s biggest prize.

Florida State favored to break SEC’s grip in final BCS game

Associated Press |
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Before the Bowl Championship Series is
replaced next year by a playoff, No. 1 Florida State and No. 2 Auburn
will meet tonight at the Rose Bowl in the last title game.
One seems to be a team of domination; the other, a team of destiny.
FSU (13-0) ripped through its schedule, winning each game by at least 14 points behind Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston.
"I still think our best game is out there," Coach Jimbo Fisher of FSU said Sunday. "I'm looking forward to playing it on Monday night, and our kids are looking forward to the challenge."
Auburn (12-1) is the most unlikely team to reach the BCS championship game. It went from 3-9 last season to the Southeastern Conference championship in its first season under Gus Malzahn, and the ride was a wild one. The Prayer at Jordan-Hare beat Georgia. The Kick-Six beat Alabama.
Destiny? Fate? Luck? The Tigers don't see that.
"Hey, I know we're a team of hard work, I know that," said tailback Tre Mason, a Heisman finalist who has run for 1,621 yards and 22 touchdowns for the No. 1 rushing offense in the country. "These guys put a lot of hard work in with me every day, blood, sweat and tears all year long."
Auburn is the first team to reach the BCS championship game after having a losing season the year before and could become the first national champion to start the season unranked since BYU in 1984.
Malzahn, who was the offensive coordinator when Auburn won the 2010 national title, said Sunday he told his players before the season that one goal was to make the biggest turnaround in college football. And Auburn has matched the 2000 Hawaii team for most improved record in FBS history.
"Well, Auburn is a great program and used to winning championships, so I knew that we were going to get it turned around," Malzahn said. "I didn't know how quick. There was a lot of questions when we first got there. We did a lot of Dr. Phil-ing early, and our guys came together and they believed."
Malzahn's up-tempo , Spread offense is a combination of deception and power that seems to improve each game. Against Missouri in the SEC championship game, Auburn ran for 545 yards.
"Well, you have to have eye discipline," Fisher said. "Any time you have moving parts, any time you bring something in front of you, just like when you're driving, if somebody flashes a hand in front of you while you're driving down the road it makes you blink, it makes your eyes distracted and you get off of what you're looking at.
“At the same time, they become very physical with how they play, and you get yourself out of position, they knock you out of the way, and there's a four, five, eight, 10 or they break a run right up the middle."
Fisher has put together the most talented two-deep roster in the country, a collection of five-star recruits and NFL prospects reminiscent of Bobby Bowden's best Florida State teams. The Seminoles won two national titles under Bowden, Fisher's predecessor, and played in the first three BCS title games.
They had not been back since 2000, but a prodigy led them.
Winston will turn 20 today. A redshirt freshman and the youngest player to win the Heisman Trophy, he set FBS freshman records for most yards passing (3,820) and touchdown passes (38).
The Seminoles outscored their opponents by 42 points a game and have not trailed since Sept. 28.
Winston and the rest of the starters have spent most fourth quarters relaxing, and the ACC was no match for the Seminoles. Will the lack of stiff, four-quarter tests put Florida State at a disadvantage?
The Seminoles say no.
"I can't help that another team can't keep up with us," linebacker Telvin Smith said.
Florida State also will be trying to break the SEC's grip on the national championship. The streak is at seven, but FSU is favored, and the Seminoles are fine with that.
"I'm glad everybody's calling Auburn a team of destiny," Winston said, "because at Florida State, we control our own destiny."

San Antonio — The four LSU commitments at
U.S. Army All-American Bowl for, one day at least, had their eyes on the
Under Armour All-America game.
The
Tigers hoped to land commitments from five of the seven prospects that
were announcing their college decisions during the game, and the
soon-to-be LSU freshmen were hoping for five new teammates.
LSU
landed commitments from safety Jamal Adams and Leonard Fournette, the
nation's top prospect. While the night didn't go exactly as the
commitments in San Antonio had hoped, they were still pleased with the
Tigers' haul this week.
"It’s
awesome," Trey Quinn said. "Leonard's a big pickup and Jamal is
definitely a big pickup as well. The No. 1 player in the nation is a
huge get for a team. I can’t wait to be on the same offense as him and I
think we’re going to be hard to stop especially if we get another
commit in a few weeks.
"Don’t
get me wrong, we’ve have a lot of quality high school running backs at
Barbe, but Leonard is a different thing out there. You can’t focus on
one pass or run every time. We’ll definitely have some defenses losing
sleep."
"I
wish we would've gotten (Devante) Speedy (Noil) and Gerald (Willis)
too," Godchaux said. "But I saw Leonard and Jamal (chose LSU), so I'm
happy for those guys."
Defensive
back Ed Paris, who's been one of the Tiger's most vocal recruiters,
said the Tigers still have a shot at the two Karr standouts (Noil and
Willis).
"We can always flip 'em," Paris said emphatically. "We can always flip 'em."

Who is up next for LSU? (Posted on 1/2/14 at 6:45 pm)
** Now updated post All-American Games **
The UA Game is behind us. Lets just assume those commitments stick. The Army All American game went as expected.
We have 18 commitments, and expect to sign 25, so we have seven open spots.
The remaining recruits, for the most part, are Signing Day decisions, and these are the names you are likely to see the most in the coming weeks.
DB Adoree' Jackson
WR Malachi Dupre
DE Lorenzo Carter
LB Dwight Williams
LB Kenny Young
OT Derrick Kelly
DT Breeland Speaks
OT Rodriguez
Now, there is very little chance that we sign all the names you see here, so who knows who else the staff reaches out to in order to fill the remaining holes in this class. Just for kicks, this is how I personally rate the remaining prospects, the likelihood they end up here and the importance of position.
WR Dupre
DT Valentine
DT Speaks
DE Carter
DE McDowell
DB Jackson (Much higher priority, just not convinced he comes here)
LB Kenny Young
OT Kelly/Rodriguez
LB Williams
DE Thomas
NOLA article on remaining LSU prospects
Now, we usually have much better chances with uncommitted targets, rather than trying to switch committed ones, but the staff is going to amp up pressure to fill this class with exceptional talent. Valentine and Speaks are or were committed to other schools, and they are not quite ready to give up the Karr duo, mainly Willis. Also keep an eye on TAMU commit Frank Iheanacho
quote:
Look for Iheanacho's decommitment down the road, with a nod to LSU highly likely. The announcement he made Saturday was to appease the U.S. Army All-American Bowl folks and honor his word that he would declare during the game. His mind is far from made up, sources said. LSU is fully aware of the situation and won't stop recruiting Iheanacho.
Also, expect some names to come out of left field. Sleeper prospects with spectacular senior seasons or real potential, like the OT recruits Kelly and Rodriguez. WRs George Rushing and Melvin Holland Jr, Athletes Russell Gage and Santos Ramirez, to name a few.
