Game day.

Typical Houston Nutt. I've always considered him the Dale Brown of football. Overachieves when he doesn't have talent, doesn't know how to coach it, and loses games he is supposed to win and vice versa. Having said that, LSU plays NC tonight. LSU SHOULD beat them badly.

HOWEVER, this is Gary Crowton we are talking about. I'm scared to death he will see all these supposed mismatches and instead of following a solid game plan, will start trying to get cute. He's the kind of coach that will quit running a hot back even when the defense hasn't stopped him because he thinks they will start keying on him. Or run options to short sides of the field with hobbled qb. The defense alone should ensure LSU handily wins the game but with Crowton running the offense and Jefferson at qb, who knows. I favor LSU by a touchdown but shades of the 1978 Orange Bowl come to mind. I may get drunk and live blog this game.

As for Bama, don't think Saban didn't learn a lesson from 2004 when the Tigers came into training camp a little too relaxed and out of shape. I don't think Bama will have a problem being focused this year.

If LSU opens in the no huddle I'm going to start breaking stuff.

MSU could beat LSU 100-0 and Ole Miss could loose 0-100 to Alabama, and the cover of the CL would be all about the stunning Ole Miss loss and how the stats and the score just don't match up. The MSU game would be mabey on page 3 of the sports section. I am sick of the partisan assholes at the CL.

From the looks of their eroding subscriber numbers you aren't alone in your disgust.

What happened to the entry "Geaux"?
I read it last night. Had lots of good info about the UNC football players, too. It disappeared. Where?

Was in the tent in Starkville and didn't see anything except replays of the Ole Miss loss, but it sounds like a typical case of overconfidence, which is 100% on the backs of the coaches. LSU? Not impressed. Same with Texas and Oklahoma and a few others. This should be an interesting season...

Without many key starters and NCAA sanctions still looming, UNC came back to damn near beat LSU after the predicted rattled 1st half.

I don't think SEC teams should fear LSU this season.

And, kudos to Jacksonville State and UNC . It's nice to see teams that don't give up when victory seems impossible.

What do you want me to say? Same old crap from Miles and Crowton. Four or five losses this year. Frustrating because you can see individual talent all over the field. I think every team in the country would take Peterson and Shepard. Nevis was a beast last night. What Saban could do with that team would be scary. Hell, what Mullen could do with that offense would be even scarier. And Meyer could probably run that spread with JJ at qb and set some records.

Les Miles is a terrible coach. He wastes talent like no coach I have ever seen. Saban could take the same LSU team we saw last night against NC and beat anyone in the country.

Ole Miss is going to have a long season. They might not win even one SEC game.

Hard these days to know what is the coach and what is the players.
Some of the young men who have talent have no discipline or desire . Or, some of them have floated along on natural ability alone without ever really learning the game. Some have no sense of team . Some are so troubled as to be toxic to the team.
When a football scholarship was a means to get an education rather than getting drafted to the NFL, the coaches had a lot more control and authority.

our friends from Baton Rouge got a real good dose of Atlatnas traffic........spectacular spin and smash on 85/75 connector. still Bumper to Bumper at 12:00am. Was able to give two Tiger Flagged cars good and straight directions to all the fun in Buckhead at the "W". They seemed grateful and trusting after I told them I was from Jackson. ATL was not the town to be lost in last Saturday.......with LA tags. Close win. But a win just the same....

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.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
