I've been reading lots of comments about how we're going to get crushed and hoping to get past this weekend and on to the bye week. I gotta say, that's not my take at all. We may get crushed on the football field, but if we do it's because we've witnessed a great football team, something that we aspire to be again. We may see a great performance by Fournette, but SU fans generally appreciate greatness (with a few notable exceptions). The field that Fournette will play on has seen many great runners and great teams. You can post your own favorites. The walls, roof, and seats are different but we've been playing on the same field since 1907 and on the quad before that. The football karma there is strong.

SU has been at its best when competing with the best. Why wish that opportunity away? College football games are significant events and can be memorable to a generation of fans. I want this weekend to be memorable for giving LSU a good game and to compete beyond our physical dimension, though I'm looking forward to the tailgate almost as much. We finished 6-5 in 1984 though we beat #1 Nebraska, yet that win has inspired many of us for a lifetime. LSU fans I think want to win for sure but want to enjoy the experience above all. LSU won't get much better by simply kicking our butts. Let's help them as a team by making it competitive both on the field and with hordes of SU fans in the seats. Let's celebrate the event and hope our children remember the day for 50 years. LGO!!
