Leonard Fournette Is Staying Home [Rap Squats & Respectful Bows All Around!]

I knew it all along. I swear.

There's no way that good ol' Leslie Edwin could let arguably the biggest offensive recruit in recent history that just happened to be from Louisiana, leave the state for his collegiate career...is there? Yesterday I actually entered the day extremely somewhat optimistic that LSU would go 5 for 5 with the remaining recruits at the Under Armour All-American game. And I wasn't the only one.

Today is the day #LSU5For5. Just kidding. I mean, I hope I'm not, but LSU can't have things that nice yet.

Well, 5 for 5 didn't happen. But we did get two, including the the #1 overall prospect, Mr. Buga Nation himself, Leonard Fournette.

And I couldn't be more excited. Why am I so excited? Don't believe me, just watch:

See? He's Adrian Peterson 2.0. He's currently a man among boys. When he gets to LSU he'll be a man among young men. And besides, he does rap squats.

Leslie Edwin strikes again.

#Geaux Buga Nation !!!

LSU vs. Alabama 2013. I'm Ready.

Game of the Century Part....5?

Now that my Bears handled business against the lowly Green Bay Packers Monday Night (Don't taser me, bro!), I can now focus all of my energy on the other game I circle every year: the showdown against Alabama. It seems this game always has some kind of national championship implications, and this year is no different. I also just really hate the team, school and brand of Alabama. Come to think of it, there's really only a few teams that I really and truly hate: the Green Bay Packers, the EA Spartans, the Detroit Pistons, the Indiana Pacers. But none of them come even close to my hatred for Alabama. I mean, what's not to hate? And with all of this "Saban to Texas" talk, I'm actually hoping he sticks around. Nah, let me stop lying. Geaux Tigers.



Official prediction: LSU 38 - Alabama 27. We'll use this win to propel us to the Top 10 in the BCS and paired with our upcoming win against A&M, we'll represent the West in the SEC Championship. Stamp it.


Also, Les Miles is a mad man. Gotta love it.

(6) LSU at (9) UGA. Man, Oh Man.

LSU. Georgia. Biggest game of the year....to this point. (I'll probably say that at least four more times this year.) We're a little over an hour until kickoff but it's never too late to get hype. I'm expecting big games out of Jarvis Landry (8 catches, 85 yards), Jeremy Hill (115 yards, 2 TDs) and Zach Mettenberger (225 yards, 2 TDs) in Zach's first return to Athens since 2010. Georgia's offense will be able to move the ball but their defense will have no match for the most improved quarterback and offense in the SEC. Official prediction: 31 - 24 LSU. WRITE THAT DOWN, Georgia fans. Here we go!

3 Days

Three. More. Days. I actually might make it to Saturday.

Actually, there's really only one day until football makes its triumphant return. College Football officially kicks off tomorrow night with UNC/South Carolina. I'll be shocked and personally disappointed if I miss a single snap. But, really, we all know it's about LSU/TCU on Saturday. I'm......literally at a loss for words. We'll call it "excited." I'm going to a friend's crib tomorrow for the LSU pregame-game tomorrow (I'm betting on South Carolina, btw) but my mind will obviously be on the Tigers matchup against the Frogs. And TCU Coach Gary Patterson has definitely become increasingly douchebag-like over the past few weeks. Especially after taking shots at the throne. His punishment must be [and will be] more severe.

But back to tomorrow's game. My official prediction: USC over UNC 28 - 17. Jadeveon Clowney with 6 tackles (2.5 sacks) to lead the Gamecocks to victory. I hope he gets a legit shot at the Heisman this year. After all, he is a Freak.

25 Days

Whoo! We're inside of a month until LSU/TCU at Cowboys Stadium. I'm hype. And it seems like TCU is having trouble keeping players around. Interesting. Anyway, we're 25 days away. We're right on time for some hype videos. Enjoy.

Um, about those tickets....

32 Days

LSU/TCU is coming soon. Verrrrry soon.

Also: LSU opponent preview: TCU

49 Days.

It's about that time. I've started my official countdown to the Cowboys Classic between LSU and TCU. Even though it's essentially a home game for TCU, I'm beyond hype. Tiger fans travel like you wouldn't believe and we won this joint—handily, might I add—back in 2011. Now my only project is actually finding tickets in the next month and a half. IT SHALL BE DONE.

Note: Here's And the Valley Shook's predicitons for the offensive depth chart. Great info. Read every word.

Can you tell I'm excited for football?

Holy Shit, Jarvis Landry.

En route to a thrilling 20-13 win over Arkansas, sophomore wide receiver Jarvis Landry came up with arguably the catch of the year.
Holy shit.

And although all hope seems lost, I'm still crossing my fingers for the Sugar Bowl and not the god-forsaken Capital One Bowl.

LSU vs. Bama 2012 - Part 2 [...Kind of]

I'm ready for this.

My parents are ready for this.

My Grandparents [really should get] ready for this.

The biggest game of the 2012 College Football season is about 30 hours away and I'm way too dialed in. My Tigers have the unique opportunity to get back in the National Championship hunt all while avenging last year's loss and inflicting pain on bitter rival Alabama. Whew. The last time I was this hype over a sporting event it was LSU vs. Bama 2012 Pt. 1. And unfortunately, we all know how that turned out.

Just in case any LSU fans [and you Alabama fans—I know you're out there] need an extra motivational boost, just check the video below. Man.

Tigers. Please don't kill my vibe.

3 Days.

Almost...


....there.

9 Days.

Oh man.

I can't wait.

S3 = Sampson Sports Struggle.

2012 has been a very trying year for literally every one of my sports teams. I really can't put into words. Trust me, I tried. Life as a Sampson shouldn't be so tough.

So Uh....Basketball Season?

It's been a very [very] tough sports week for me.

First, this happened.

Now, it's looking like we might lose our #1 pro-style Quarterback commit Gunner Kiel to Notre Dame.

LSU football fans can't catch a break. It's definitely time for basketball.

Sigh.....only 228 days until the North Texas game.

FINALLY. THE REMATCH IS HERE.

It’s here. It’s finally here.

Well first off, Happy New Year all. I've basically been on an extended blog break since the holidays but I'm finally making my triumphant return. And for very good reason. Tonight, January 9, 2012 at 8:00 pm EST, my LSU Tigers are up for their third National Championship since 2003 [and perfection] against the hated and bammish Alabama Crimson Tide. Less than a week after getting spurned by arguably the nation’s top safety prospect—and fellow Dutchtown High School alum—Landon Collins, we’re set to make history as the greatest football team in history. I’m aware that that’s a pretty bold statement, but I’ll stand by it. [Trust me, I’ll explain another day in another post.] Regardless, tonight’s the night. If you’re looking for me, I’ll be the shorter fellow sporting the purple and gold “BEAT BAMA AGAIN” t-shirt.

And I’ll be slightly drunk.
OK, I'll be really drunk.

Whether you're going for the Tigers or the Tide, this video should get you hype:


Oh, and about Landon Collins, the battle isn't over. Here are words from Randy Rosetta himself:
I'll take that.

And seriously, could you imagine the Coaches' Trophy in these hands?!




GEAUX TIGERS!

TODAY IS A HUGE DAY.

This guy's face pretty much explains it all:
I've been looking forward to November 5th for quite some time. And for very good reason. We finally have the LSU/Bama showdown that we've been waiting for. It goes without saying that we hate each other literally every time we play but a #1 vs. #2 match-up only fuels the fire.

In addition the Game of the Year, we also have Party of all Parties: N*ggas In Paris [A Birthday Celebration]. Fresh off the DC leg of the Watch the Throne Tour [pictures coming soon], we have a Parisian-themed birthday party for my good friend Victoria and myself. Oh man, it's gonna be a hell of a day.

Oh yea, about the game. I'm looking forward to a surprisingly dominant Tigers victory. Can't wait to see my Bama fan friends and hit em with the:

Geaux Tigers!

LSU vs. Florida...Let's GO.

Got the boys from FU UF coming through Baton Rouge today. With Texas A&M joining the SEC West next season, this might be the last time we play Florida on a yearly basis. Might as well go out with the bangiest of bangs. Not like extra hype is needed but this should add some regardless:

Oh, and watch for a big game from Tyrann Mathieu aka Honey Badger aka Tyrannosaurus Rex.
