Ah, LSU ... first you get ugly, and then you show up at the College World Series (kind of) and get a little uglier. For the record, you'd get your ass kicked in Game 2 as well. More »

We hope LSU fans do not take it as an insult that hardly anyone considers their title legitimate; every season has to crown one champion, however the champion is crowned, and LSU is fortunate enough to be that team. More power to them; they deserve it, we supposed. But let's skip the charade. More »

OK, we are finally here. The college football season, at last, ends tonight in New Orleans. You know it's an important game in a SERIOUS locale, because they've put the cheerleaders to work. It's Ohio State vs. LSU, for something weird thing we're calling a "national championship." Or something. Enjoy. More »

We enjoy this picture of Georgia center Fernando Velasco, taken after the Bulldogs' win over Georgia Tech Saturday, because he is holding an orange. Presumably, a fan through him — and some other Bulldogs — an orange to symbolize the Orange Bowl. This is odd not because Georgia is not going to the Orange Bowl — it's difficult to victoriously brandish a cube of sugar — but because the Orange Bowl is not a destination Georgia would have necessarily wanted. Were Georgia fans rooting for the Orange Bowl? More »

LSU coach Les Miles, who might be checking out this job posting, wants to make it clear that if college football didn't play overtime, his team would still be undefeated! More »

Last weekend, the genius that is Orson Swindle at Every Day Should Be Saturday attended the Florida-LSU game in Baton Rouge. We've never been to an SEC football game, but, man, do we want to now. We've never heard a better description of the madness of college football Saturday in the South than this: More »

This weekend, during Tragedy Bowl I, ESPN's cameras found Shaquille O'Neal, a 2000 graduate of LSU, up in a luxury box. This means he needed transport to the game. This is what he rode. More »

As much as we look forward to the beginning of college football season, it still takes us by surprise when it actually begins: It's actually kicking off tonight. In the spotlight game, it's Louisiana State, ranked No. 2 by just about everybody, travels to Mississippi State. The LSU fans are excited, and Mississippi State fans are more matter of fact, probably because they're about to take a beating. More »

If you're going to start ripping people, Les Miles, go all the way. That way Every Day Should Be Saturday wouldn't have to step in and pick up the slack with some writer's embellishment, turning what was some mildly interesting radio content into something truly memorable. The LSU football coach was on a Baton Rouge radio station last week, where he predicted an LSU-USC showdown in the BCS title game. He ripped the Pac-10, and the Trojans in particular, saying that USC has a much easier road than the Tigers: "They're going to play real knockdown drag-outs with UCLA and Washington, Cal, Stanford — some real juggernauts."

This, friends, is Pokey Chatman, who, until about 16 hours ago, was one of the most successful young coaches in women's college basketball, leading her LSU Tigers into the NCAA tournament and earning the respect of her peers. Now, though, she's decidedly less than that: Now she's a disgraced former coach who might have been sleeping with more than one of her players. More »

Look, according to union rules, technicians in the ESPN video truck get one 15-minute coffee break every two hours. So if you're the director, sometimes you need to delegate. "Go ahead and choose which section of the crowd to pan, Buzz. I'm finishing my danish." Or, you know, perhaps every fifth person in the Kentucky rooting section had a similar sign, and there was just no better place to point the camera. More »

We are happy to report that the Sugar Bowl was one of several games available on iTunes this year, so we hope all of you Notre Dame fans took advantage of that. Just the thing to view over and over again during church. After LSU's 41-14 win Wednesday night — the Irish's ninth straight bowl defeat — we're beginning to think that ND might not qualify next year. Naw, that's crazy talk. Quarterback Brady Quinn was stupendous, badly missing an open receiver on the first play from scrimmage and going on to complete 15-of-35 passes for a season-low 148 yards. He'll look so swell in Detroit Lions powder blue next year. But shouldn't we instead be praising LSU? QB JaMarcus Russell (at 6-foot-6, 257 pounds, probably too fat to play for the Miami Heat) completed 21 of 34 passes for 332 yards and two touchdowns, and also ran for a TD. Crawfish over Catholics! But don't worry Irish Faithful, help is on the way. (Yow). More »
