Monday Night Football
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
Monday Night in Tiger Stadium. Eesh...just doesn't have the same ring to it as Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium, but alas, that's what it'll be as LSU takes in Tennessee tonight in a game Rita postponed from Saturday.
So, break out your fanny packs and lucky underdrawers, it's tiiime for some football! LSU fans have been starving for football since we've already been snookered out of two homes games by hurricanes, so we'll take anything at this point. I've heard people say this game shouldn't happen due to Rita's damage and even heard a caller on a talk show suggest that the whole season should be canceled. While I respect the needs of hurricane victims, I think that idea is quite nonsensical. I believe this is an important step in getting back to normal around here. (It also helps my conscious that there are still no deaths caused directly by Rita, although I know many people are out of house and home.)
Aside from all that, it should be quite a game. The Vols come into the game ranked 10th, after falling to Florida last week. LSU is ranked 4th now, even though there are still a lot of questions about this team that the Arizona State game didn't answer. A lot more will be known about this team after tonight, though, so let's play ball!
Geaux Tigers!
