Someone give that man some rep...

everything he has said has made sense

casey, you fail to realize 9/11 affected only 17 blocks of business mostly.

Katrina leveled an entire coastline of mostly homes, displacing close to 1 million people if not more. i love football as much as anyone here except islstslsu, but sometimes you have to forego what you love for the betterment of your fellow humans.

life is a bitch

only a few blocks of business? lol

thousands died, millions were scared to death, and you make it sound like it was just some sort of neighborhood robbery

You CAN NOT COMPARE WHAT HAPPENED at 9/11 to what happened here!

THERE are more people without homes living gods nowhere, then there were people that died on 9/11.
Right now the people that have died are the only ones that have it easy. That might sound heartless but it is true.
People have LOSS EVERYTHING. Do you understand that their ENITRE lives where in those HOMES. THEY HAVE NOTHING!!!

If all we have to endure is one season without LSU football we should consider ourselves LUCKY!

Its not like someone did this and we have to prove to them that our way of life will go on like 9/11. DO YOU REALLY THINK MOTHER NATURE GIVES A FLYING **** IF WE PLAY FOOTBALL.

check your facts.

9/11 encompassed 17 to 20 blocks of downtown New York, most of which was the World Trade center buildings.

we are talking about an area from Alabama to almost Baton Rouge.....do the math dill

well do and say what you want, but next week, we WILL play...

Les and the team obviously is chomping at the bit

Miles replied, "I think they are pensive. I think that they want to play a game. I think that they are frustrated, because of the inability to help. I think they are sad, and they see how much difficulty the state is going through. I think that they are very sensitive to that.
"They know people that are in real difficult times and it is not normal. It is not business as usual, and it is tough to go beyond, yet they step out on the field and take a break for two hours and they practice hard."

Well no **** they are ready to play. That is what they are there to do.

There are 2 memembers of this board that have not been heard from since Sunday.


And you hit it on the head with your 9/11 comment

Thousands died and millions were scaried.

Here and now
Thousands dead and MILLIONS WITHOUT A PLACE TO LIVE!

The facts of the matter are this. Two things, and two things only drive the industrialized world.

1. Commerce and 2. the pursuit of happiness. These two things drive each other.

These people will all receive some help, and will all have a chance to make a new life no matter where or how, that will mostly be up to them. But no matter what, not this hurricane, not the war, not terroism, or anything else will ever stop this country from making every effort to obtain and grow those two things.

You can say what you want about sports just being a game and it not being relevent to life, or whatever BS you want to feed yourself. But the truth is Football is a way of creating commerce and happiness for much of the country. This is why everyone of us have jobs and families, because we all want those two things.

It will not be long before the lights are back on in TS.

Well, I know that I've been extremely heavy-hearted all week long. I'm not sure that even multiple Jamarcus to Dwayne 70-yard bombs could excite me right now, or on Saturday. I can't say how next week will go, but I have a feeling that things will still get much worse for a while before there is any hope of them getting any better. I'm not even sure if I've cracked a smile all week...oh except for when I watched The Daily Show the other night. Outside of that, I feel very, very sad. I just don't have much emotional fortitude.
