First I want to give recognition to the toughness that LA Tech showed as a team. I was very impressed with your rushing defense. It was extremely tough to run in short yardage situations against you guys.
Heard several fans talking about how much time your QB was getting to throw. Impressed with the protection he was getting.
On behalf of the entire LSU fanbase I'd like to appologize for the crowd's general lackadaisical attitude. Horrible atmosphere. Nobody was interested in making any noise. Seemed everyone was more interested in talking about homecoming and Lee Greenwood (who I thought did a great job in spite of technical difficulties with the mike) and Ohio State losing and never got into the game at all.
Speaking of technical difficulties, it would seem that LSU could do SOMEthing about repairing/replacing our clock system. That's at least the third game this year that's happened to us. How difficult is it to get a working clock? I told the people around me we needed to hire some Tech engineering grads to design us a working system. haha.
I loved the band's performance at halftime with the cool formations. The tank and the soldiers marching in formation. Hope you could see that from the visitors section. Looked really good from the West Upper.
Three LA Tech fans sat immediately behind me in the West Upper. We talked quite a bit. Nice guys. They had driven up from New Orleans.
Speaking of driving, the Tech caravan caught up to me around Winnsboro. Three busses, two State Troopers, and a Yukon I think. That was a little cool because it was the second week in a row. Last week I was on a charter flight back from Tuscaloosa and we landed in Shreveport around 1:00 am and were informed we would be delayed getting off the plane until a 737 (I think it was a 737 anyway) landed and came to a stop beside us. Turned out that was the Tech plane landing from last week's away game.
Back to the game, though...LSU was definitely fortunate for the score at the half. If not for some puzzling playcalling by Dooley and that insane interception at the end of the half, you guys would have been right there at the half.
We need your kicker and while we're at it, we also need some type of kick coverage, please. A favor for a fellow Louisiana team? haha. Our kick coverage is AWFUL!!! Seems like every week we give our opponents great field position each time we kick off. We've got to be the worst in the nation in that category. I've never seen anything like it. Doesn't matter who we play. They make us look like the school for the blind on kickoffs. I don't understand it. And I don't see how we'll win the SEC Championship game, let alone the BCS CG if we don't manage to fix that somehow.
Phillip Livas is just as good as advertised. Many LSU fans were upset last year when we didn't have room to offer him a scholarship.
Some of our guys need to get their heads out of their rears and play with intensity or we won't make it past Arkansas. Got to play well every game to keep the voters on our side.
I hope all of you that made the trip had a good time in spite of the generally poor atmosphere.
