My response:

Dear Editor,

I think I can speak not only for LSU fans and Louisiana residents when I say this, but also for any levelheaded, humane individual, but your comments about LSU and its administration were utterly un-called for.* I'm sure you have access to a television, sir, and of course you know about the recent catastrophe that has hit not only the Gulf Coast, but our nation as a whole.* It surprises me then that you would choose to write such an odious and appalling article.* Clearly the weather is out of anyone's control.* Surely you do not blame LSU for doing everything in its power to assure that these extenuating circumstances are handled in the most efficient and logical way possible, do you?* Honestly, do you think that your beloved Volunteers could do any better under these trying times?* Maybe that is a moot point, but I do not think it farfetched to believe that LSU is trying its damnedest to remedy all obstacles thrown its way.**

I find it particularly sickening that you go as far as to call LSU out and insinuate that UT should do everything in its power to inconvenience LSU when we return to Tennessee in 2006.* Believe me, LSU is not trying to obliterate any chance UT would have to play a game in as safe an environment as possible.* That, sir, is asinine.* I'm sure coach Fulmer has been bending over backward in effort to delay this game even further, or even more horrific, have it played in Tennessee, but it is not my place to call him out on those insinuations.*

LSU has played one game thus far this season--on the road, against a formidable opponent.* Most other teams have four games under their belts at this point.* LSU's players have had to deal with situations I would not wish on anyone.* All I'm getting at is that I believe these LSU players to be true heroes.* As such, I think they are entitled to finally be able to play a home game.

My last grievance:* Did it ever occur to you that Baton Rouge is located in Eastern Central Louisiana, and that Hurricane Rita is affecting Southwest Louisiana?* By Monday, all that will be left by Rita is more heartache and suffering--and a saturated playing field--but my point remains, LSU players deserve a home game.* If you think for one second that LSU is not inconvenienced by any of these circumstances, please do yourself a favor and turn on a television.

Geaux Tigers, and God Bless,

All that really needs to be known is that the guy who wrote this 'journalistic opinion' is an editor. Hah.

JayB · Sep 23, 2005

Correct, and as such, it is his right to be able to post his thoughts in that way... However, what he said was just a classic case of bitching and not getting your way. Tough f'n luck! This is LSU's game... it's not meant to CONVENIENCE Tennessee's fans.

my reply:

Mr. Brice;

I am sure you are getting enough responses on the heartless comments made in your article.

The problem I have is this is a poorly written piece. Its awkward ramblings really have little structure, continuity and conclusion. It was obviously written in a moment of anger which is unprofessional for a seasoned journalist as yourself.

Please take this as a critical advice so hopefully you it will not affect your tenure at this most prestige place of journalism, The Daily Times Maryland, TN.

Sure hitting him on his talent is worse than about subject matter. My job is done here!

Maybe its an LSU fan that lives in Irish Bayou. Dont be so quick to judge. :hihi:

I would imagine this fruit cake has stopped reading all of your replys once he recognizes the redudancy of them. He's accomplishing what he set out to do, ruffle your feathers. Why give this guy the satisfaction of responding, I promise you he's not taking your comments to heart.

Here we go... Had no class... was bored... and checked message boards. Here's the stance of the SEC on this debacle about who went overboard that I could see...

LSU: Tennessee
Tennessee: :lsup:
Auburn: Tennessee
Bama: Tennessee
Arkansas: Tennessee
Georgia: Tennessee
Florida: Tennessee
South Carolina: Tennessee
Vandy: Tennessee

Either we have some new friends in the SEC, everyone hates Tennessee, or they were just plain WRONG! :hihi:
