Saints stomp the Giants too. And it's not the Georgia Dome, its the Georgia Tent.

Thanks for posting Nate. There is a BUZZZ in the air around here, or is it just me ? I can't wait.

I like Sports Illustrated too. CBS Sportsline and Sporting News also have LSU at # 4. I think Notre Dame may be rated a little too high.

As with any sucessful team, you got to stay as healthy as possible. New starting MLB Luke Sanders must stay healthy. And the the O-Line has to come together for LSU. Expect to see more QB's playing for LSU than last year.

In today's Shreveport Times there was an article talking about the new sponsor of the Independence Bowl, PetroSun. As it turns out, former Dallas Cowboy Rayfield Wright, who is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and was interviewed by ESPN during the Dallas/New Orleans game the other night, is President of the company.

I wish it was on T.V., better yet, I wish I was there! But I'll be happy flipping between USC/Arkansas and Notre Dame/Georgia Tech.

Football is finally here!!

Yeah you right ! FOOTBALL IS HERE !!!!! :w00t:

Lots of great college games on T.V. today.

We were at the game tonite, it was lots of fun. LSU beat ULL 45-3. LSU showed a little class by not scoring at the end. The highlight of the night was the return of Alley Broussard.(missed entire 05' season w/ knee injury) He ran the ball well! All three QB's played tonite; Ryan Perilloux finally got to play, but only the last couple of couple minutes. ULL should have a nice season and challenge for the SunBelt Conf. Title, they fought hard. :good:

I did not realize that LSU had won the last 10 meetings vs. ULL by a combined score of 542-0. :wacko: So now it's 587-3. ULL got a FG when LSU fumbled a punt deep in their territory.

^Hey Nate and Brian, we are all in the same boat then; because I am torn to. That also seems to be the theme in the UP Sports forum"Football Predictions". Hard choice! I think the Buckeyes could return the favor this year in Austin, after losing last season in Columbus near the end of the game. I guess I would have to give Ohio St. the "slight" edge. Another nail biter? Ohio State's D is nowhere as good as they were last year; but then again VY has gone to the NFL(new inexperienced QB Colt McCoy).

Here is some great news..

Saints Sell Record 65,000 Season Tickets

Benson praises N.O. fans for 'unprecedented' support

Article

Coming off a 3-13 season complicated by Hurricane Katrina's widespread impact, the Saints have surpassed all marks for season ticket sales and are on the verge of selling out the entire regular season for the first time in the club's 40-year history.
"This is unprecedented," Saints owner Tom Benson said at an impromptu press conference Tuesday at the team's headquarters. "This is the start of something good, real good -- maybe even something great."

Yeah you right ! I know I am ready for some football. Thanks ironchapman for visting the Louisiana forum.

The College season started last week with a BANG!!! And tommorrow #1 Ohio State vs. #2 Texas. And next weekend Sept.16th might be the biggest of the season!

The NFC South looks strong again! The Panthers/Falcons will be one to watch Sunday. Peyton and the Colts will face Eli and the Giants in an interesting match-up. The Saints have some issues on the O-Line. I hope they can mesh during the season for Deuce & Bush ?

That LSU game really wasn't even a game. I was there, and man did we kick the crap out of Arizona. Arizone came out and jumped on the eye of the tiger before the game, and then supposedly spit on Mike The Tiger. Well, they ended up losing by 42, so I'm pretty sure LSU had the last laugh. :lol:

And the Saints beat the Browns today 19-14. The defense, especially the defensive line, really came to play. The O-line also had a great game, contributing to the great performances of Reggie Bush, Deuce McAllister, and Drew Brees.

Manning Bowl on next! :thumbsup:

The SAINTS are 1-0!!! :yahoo: They utilized Bush in all facets of the game; esp. 8 receptions for 58 yards. Peyton did a great job of mixing-it-up with Deuce & Bush. The D looked much improved and the O-Line was a pleasant suprise too. :thumbsup:

I was at the game last nite too...as if LSU needed a reason to demolish them. Not a smart move at all after completing warm-ups 25:00 minutes before the game. The Tigers were already back in the locker room, I wonder who notified them???

I never heard or saw anything about spitting on Mike ?? hmm :dontknow: What an insult to resort to kicking a FG late in the game down 45-0. :rofl:

Indeed it was a good game (I however, only saw the highlights, but Bush still looked good).

Falcons toppled the Panthers 20-6. Needless to say, Atlanta's ecstatic.

I'm still waiting for the Saints-Falcons match up at the Superdome. My thoughts: it'll all come down to the defense. The offense on both sides is great.
