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!

Whether you want to believe it or not, baseball season is here. *sampsigh* And with MLB's Opening Day and the NCAA Men's Championship game both in the books, with the exception of the NBA playoffs, we are about to be subjected to months and months and MONTHS of baseball. Might as well make the most out of it, right? I'm not expecting to post much about baseball this year but it's not every day that one of my Chicago White Sox players makes the play of the year....on Opening Day. Don't believe me, just check out what Mark Buehrle did:
Pretty crazy, right? Hopefully we're in store for more plays like this throughout the year.

Hopefully.


[Note: Also in baseball news: My high school beat our rival, and my former high school, following a grand slam. State Championship #2 on the way?? Ow.]
