    that was the finest officiated game I have seen in a long, long time.

    What conference were those guys come from?

    There wasn't a single holding call all night and the majority of the penalties were dead-ball stuff that you have to call.

    Point being: they let the kids play, which is what should always happen in a title game.

    I re-watched the game this morning, and actually, Early was behind the line of scrimmage and had three guys right on top of him when he "dropped" that pass. I think he did it on purpose not to lose yardage.

    I think they were the MAC or something, not sure about that one. I did notice their O-line was holding our D-line a couple times. One play the dude was grabbing at Tyson Jackson's jersey tryin to stop him from gettin the sack...which he ended up getting anyways. Great Job overall for the officiating crew.

    Also, this is all from a first-year OC, with an offense used to running Jimbo's relatively basic packages. That LSU was able to execute all of the TE shifts, bunch WR sets to perfection to keep the OSU defense confused speaks volumes about the quality of these players and coaches.

    Flynn played like a BEAST. Watching the game, I knew when OSU went up 10 that it would turn around fast. Matt Flynn has been a stud all year, no way he would let that team fall. And your offensive coordinator (name is slipping my mind right now) designed some GREAT plays that threw OSU way off

    See now your on the right track. Keep up the good work and positive posts. If you keep doing it your little red x will turn purple and if your extra good it'll start turning gold. It's magic.

    Our OC is Gary Crowton aka "the wizard."

    Enjoy your new hire and please beat the condoms.
