LSU moves up.

Congrats to Ole Miss yesterday. It would be so tempting to blame the loss to Ole Miss on the complete stupidity of Les Miles and Gary Crowton yesterday. The examples are almost too numerous to list. Passing the ball repeatedly after getting into field goal range with a minute to go, letting 17 seconds or so run off the clock before running the last play, letting another 26 seconds pass by when the FG unit could have been running on the field so T-Bob could snap the ball when the whistle blew, the onside kick in the first half, running the same stupid play twice for a two point converstion, or the inexcusable play calling by Gary Crowton. The last minute of the game was one for the ages as shown in this video:



But I'm not going to put the blame on Les Miles. Ole Miss came out ready to play and in the second half, they looked like they wanted it more while most of the time, LSU looked like it was going through the motions. LSU never could figure out how to stop the Ole Miss blitz and Ole Miss whipped LSU's line on both sides of the ball. Hard to beat a fired up team like Ole Miss when your quarterback looks clueless, linemen are getting dominated, and receivers are repeatedly dropping the ball. Ole Miss got the win because they wanted it and they earned it. They gained nearly 500 yards in total offense and except for the Hail Mary play, held LSU to just above 200 yards. They made fewer mistakes and were more physical. That will usually guarantee a win 99% of the time.

Meanwhile, the Ole Miss fans should enjoy seeing this make the top story on Yahoo. The Sports Reporters on ESPN this morning were laughing about it and its made it all over the web. Couldn't have been scripted any better for the Rebels. Congrats to the Rebels.

Now some fans unfortunately focus on things like the score while overlooking what was more important yesterday: LSU moved up from 107 to 106 in the NCAA rankings in offense. This can not be over-emphasized as it shows LSU is improving on offense and the young players are finally figuring out Crowton's system and implementing it. The future indeed looks bright for LSU's offense and LSU football if yesterday was any indication.

Shouldn't a defending national champion be doing a little better than #106?

11:47 That's my thoughts as well.
Kingfish, do you really think we give a damn that LSU moved up? Ole Miss Won the game bottom line!

@11:47 - check the internet before you make a claim that LSU is the defending national champions. heck, wikipedia might be able to give you the correct answer there.

Look, moving up in offensive rankings after playing a quality SEC opponent on the road is a big deal and gives LSU fans much to celebrate. Yesterday was a pretty good day.

Ole Miss had some bad calls also. 1st and goal on the 4; why don't you pound it in. At least you run maximum clock on "pound it in" plays!

Ole Miss should have won that game by 14 points--the refs were all up in that game yesterday--but why do I care. ROLL TIDE ROLL.

It almost seemed to me like the LSU coach wanted to lose - would he have any motivation to do that, I wonder.

The funniest comment on the game was a question called in to a radio sports talk show about the Ole Miss/LSU game...

" Don't coaches have to undergo drug testing too?"

While some of the more purist and old-fashioned football fans narrowly focus on some factors such as the score, I consider the game to be a positive. The special teams of LSU was outstanding and as I said, LSU moved up in offensive rankings. Tolliver proved himself to be an outstanding receiver and although Chavis's defense allowed a lot of yards, it kept LSU in the game. This game proved LSU is a champion.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).

Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.

In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
