LSU has a basketball team?

They did. Then Shaq left and Damion Jones from Baton Rouge decided to go to a real school. Anchor down!

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Going with the Irish here...like the fact that both Irish QBs will see gametime today.

Besides...it's about time they won a bowl game AND against an SEC team at that.

Should be a good game in my opinion.

8 plus hr drive? SB to Nashville is 6.5 hrs. Driven it many times. It is the same distance from where I currently am. 8 hrs would put you almost to Atlanta or into central AL.

Yeah ... well me & bros took a few 'pitstops'.

 

[Shield-Thread Killa]
