🏈 Les Miles doesn't lose 2 in a row

So because the Death Valley Observer (uber-reliable, I'm sure) went stat digging Bama should assume a loss? Give me a break! Les has had 8 weeks to get that offense on track--how far has that gotten him?

While we are citing irrelevant stats, I'd like to remind you that the 2008 Arkansas team that handed Les his first back-to-back loss in the SEC was a mighty....5-7. Petrino's first year there.

Let's talk about some relevant numbers--101. That would be LSU's total offense rank this season. 115--your passing offense rank. Think you'll be able to take advantage of Alabama's secondary with that?

Auburn already exposed your rush defense. I'm more than certain Ingram and Richardson are licking their chops to get at you guys after we gashed you for 440 the last time you stepped on the field. Your secondary may be talented but the teeth of Bama's offense is their running game.

It would help Auburn if LSU beat Bama--it would almost solidify our trip to Atlanta at the end of the season. I wouldn't make wild assumptions based on Les' past.
 
People in Alabama still use the "not" jokes I see. I am not surprised.

Really as opposed too..........

You know you are from Louisiana if...

* The crawdad mounds in your front yard have overtaken the grass.

* Every so often, you have waterfront property.

* When giving directions you use words like "uptown", "downtown", "backatown", "riverside", "lakeside", "other side of the bayou" or "other side of the levee.

* When you refer to a geographical location "way up North", you are referring to places like Shreveport, Little Rock or Memphis, "where it gets real cold"!

* Your burial plot is six feet over rather than six feet under.

* You've ever had Community Coffee.

* You can pronounce Tchoupitoulas but can't spell it. (also, Thibideaux, Opelousas, Ponchartrain, Ouachita, Atchafalaya,)

* You don't worry when you see ships riding higher in the river than the top of your house.

* You judge a po-boy by the number of napkins used.

* The waitress at your local sandwich shop tells you a fried oyster po-boy "dressed" is healthier than a Caesar salad.

* You know the definition of "dressed".

* You can eat Popeye's, Haydel's and Zapp's for lunch and wash it down with Barq's and several Abitas, without losing it all on your stoop.

* The four seasons in your year are: crawfish, shrimp, crab and King Cake.

* The smell of a crawfish boil turns you on more than HBO.

* You "wrench" your hands in the sink with an onion bar to get the crawfish smell off.

* You're not afraid when someone wants to "ax you something".

* You go by "ya-mom-en-`dems" on Good Friday for family supper.

* You don't learn until high school that Mardi Gras is not a national holiday.

* You don't realize until high school what a "county" is.

* You push little old ladies out of the way to catch Mardi Gras beads.

* You believe that purple, green and gold look good together (and you will even eat things those colors)

* You worry about a deceased family member returning in spring floods.

* You pronounce the largest city in the state as "Nawlins".

* A friend gets in trouble for roaches in his car and you wonder if it was palmettos or those little ones that go after the French Fries that fell under the seat.

* You know those big roaches can fly, but you're able to sleep at night anyway.

* You prefer skiing on the bayou.

* You assume everyone has mosquito swarms in their backyard.
 
If . . . No. Wait. Let me start over. IF LSU wins Saturday, it won't be because Les Miles is the Tigers' head coach. I'm not sure LSU can run against Bama and if Lee gets rattled, he's prone to throw interceptions. Blitz, Bama, blitz!!
