We’ll be here til the bitter end, throwing out observations and highlights. We’re not going to do a play-by-play, because a) it’s a lot of work, and b) it’s dumb. Feel free to chime in.
- LSU wins the toss, defers, and kicks off. Touchback.
- ND fakes a punt on 4th and 3, LSU stops them!
- On first down, Russell goes long to Doucet, caught on the ND 3. Kieland Williams up the middle for the TD on the next play. LSU 7, ND 0. Nice start, Tigers.
- LSU defense holds ND again. ND punts, touchback.
- Russell to Bowe, TD!
- LSU 14, ND 0 | 6:03 1st qtr
- If they’re gonna play that damn Iron Man / Nissan Titan commercial at every break, it’s gonna be a long night
- ND touchdown. Heck of a catch by Grimes.
- The announcer keeps calling Chevis Jackson “Cheeevis”.
- Russell fumbles, ND ball on the LSU 20. Truly buttchunderous.
- End of the first, LSU 14, ND 7. ND threatening to score.
- ND misses a FG. LSU jumped over a snake that time
- Commercial Suckage: Yes, they’re underdogs, but would it really “shock the world” if Florida won?
- Sweet! Johnathan Xenon picks off Quinn’s deep pass and shuts down a pretty impressive drive
- More Commercial Suckage: They want us to believe a Ford Whatever-it-is is superior to the Accord and Camry.
- Interception overturned on review. Ok, maybe. But given the calls this bowl season that weren’t overturned, this one should’ve stood
- Upon further multiple reviews, that was absolute effing bs. That was an interception by LSU. We was robbed!
- Sweet mother-effing justice. THAT was an interception, by god.
- Of course, you can’t challenge a play if the ball carrier is ruled down by contact. Unless you’re like, Notre Dame or something. Then they let you challenge it. Jeebis.
- finally they wise up
- Colt David misses a FG.
- Darius Walker is having a career night. Pelini needs to find a way to shut this crap down pronto.
- Touchdown Notre Dame. Tied at 14 with 2:25 left in the half.
- Russell hits Doucet on a bomb. 58 yards in the air, Early down to the 5. Nice.
- Russell runs it in for the TD. He could’ve walked in on the previous play but threw incomplete. LSU 21, Notre Dame 14 | 1:15 left in the half
- Halftime. 21-14. Could the Fox crew be any more Notre Dame biased? This is nothing short of nauseating.
- The Jack In The Box commercial about Jessica is teh funneh.
- Jeebis. The moron kicking a FG for money at halftime needs to turn in his man card.
- Crap. Doucet fumbled. They’re reviewing to see if the ND guy had possession before stepping out. Close, but we suspect they’ll give it to ND, because they’re, like, ND.
- Holy Shiz! A challenge actually went our way! Unsurprisingly, Les doesn’t understand the rules and has to ask the official if he gets his challenge back. This isn’t the first (or second, or third) time this season Les has demonstrated lack of knowledge of rules.
- We’ve just got to say that we’re DAMNED glad to see Justin Vincent having a good game for his finale’. Seriously. We bitched all year about him playing when he was so ineffective, but we’re glad he’s going out on a high note. He did, after all, help us win a national title.
- effing sweet! Flynn pitches to Jackson on the fake FG and he gets the first down!
- Meh. LSU ends up with the FG anyway. LSU 24, Notre Dame 14. 9 minutes left in the 3rd.
- We really should know this already, but what happened to Charles Scott? Anyone?
- LSU hits a FG. 27-13, 4 minutes left in the third
- Gheyer of the Game: this kid from Hammond that plays in the ND band that they just interviewed. Seriously fabulous. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
- Russell 58 yard TD to Lafell! Russell’s arm strength continues to amaze us, no matter how many times we see him do this sort of thing. We was running sideways and just flicked it down there, bullseye. Unreal. LSU 34 Notre Dame 14 | 00:18 left in the third.
- how was that defensive pass interference? McKnight freakin’ tackled Jackson and they call it on Jackson?
- Interception by LaRon Landry. Nice.
- Keiland Williams runs for a td. 41-14.
- Jamarcus Russell comes out with about 2 minutes left and gets a well-deserved ovation.
- Final Score: LSU 41 Notre Dame 14
- JaMarcus Russell wins the Sugar Bowl MVP. Masterful deflection of a Brady Quinn comparison (paraphrasing): “I wasn’t playing against Brady Quinn, I was playing against the ND defense”. He says he’ll talk to his family and pray about it before making a decision on his future. Good answer. Thanks for the memories, kid.

Jeff Samardjiza is a big guy.
Jan 3, 2007 at 7:41 pm
HECK YES! Air it out!
Jan 3, 2007 at 7:43 pm
Might as well start out aggressive when you get a gift like that fake punt. I like it.
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:24 pm
I like peanuts.
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:31 pm
Even on that attempted run, JaMarcus lost control of the ball on the ground. He may elevate fumbling to a new level. Playcalling is suspect. Do we have 4.1 mil to offer Saban?
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:34 pm
I can’t complain much about the playcalling. Russell just needs to quit trying to be a hero and hold onto the damn ball.
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:36 pm
I just need something to bitch about. Say…is it me, or are all the blitzes inside with no outside contain? Every time ND breaks to the outside, it’s good for at least six. Think Charlie might notice?
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:37 pm
I’m hoping Pelini has noticied and makes some adjusts at the half
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:41 pm
Amazing catch by McKnight. Amazinger interception by Zenon.
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:43 pm
Amazinger? Isn’t he a golfer?
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:43 pm
Major suckage on the overturn. that ball did NOT touch the ground.
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:44 pm
The golfer hasn’t had amazingness in years.
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:44 pm
I have to agree. That’s crap.
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:48 pm
Overturn THAT one, bitch!
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:49 pm
Smack, what’s a Zenophobe?
Jan 3, 2007 at 8:49 pm
I think it’s an upcoming ford vehicle that’s supposed to be better than an accord.

Charlie and Walker noticed. Did Bo?
Jan 3, 2007 at 9:19 pm
Thank goodness for superior talent. ND adapted quicker than Pelini. That’s a compliment for ND, not a knock on Pelini. I’m sure he’ll close that outside down in the 2nd half. LSU should shut them down in the 2nd half and win by 14 or more.
Jan 3, 2007 at 9:41 pm
Fecking Darius Walker. Hate is good for the soul. In fact by then of the game, i should be in a pure state of bliss. Blissfully hating Quinns womanly good looks.

QUIT RUNNING THE WR SCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jan 3, 2007 at 9:47 pm
Are you drunk sir?
Jan 3, 2007 at 9:57 pm
The only time that 5 yard slant fails is when the receiver drops the ball.
Jan 3, 2007 at 9:57 pm
no, the WR screen is usually highly ineffective when the DB is sitting about 3 yards off the line of scrimmage. Just sayin.
Jan 3, 2007 at 10:03 pm
this anti-spam thing is weak man. I bet I can write up a script that can do the math. You should make it go in French, 1337 speek or something.
Jan 3, 2007 at 10:07 pm
it only axes the math questions by default. i can change it to a text question and define the answer. problem is, with the math questions it generates the numbers randomly using php, thus you get lots of questions. if i define the question, i can only define one. i wish someone would write a version of this thing where you could define a bunch of questions and answers.

I’ve decided my problem with Miles is that he acts more like a fan on the sideline then a head coach. At times it looks like he’d be more at home with a beer in his hand and a tub of popcorn then with those headphones on his head.
Jan 3, 2007 at 11:26 pm
“talking to the family” translates to, “I’m gone.”
Jan 3, 2007 at 11:29 pm
yeah, he’s outta here. it’s probably for the best, although we’d be deadly next year if he stayed.
still, Perrilloux has been patient, and it’s time to give him his shot. Hopefully whoever Les brings in to replace Jimbo will run an offense designed around his abilities.

Dude,
You should have seen the faces of the Irish fans in New Orleans. I was told by quite a few of their fans that they were ’sick and tired’ of hearing how they were going to get their ‘asses handed to them.’ Well, they DID get their ‘asses handed to them.’ Some of them are dreading next year because of the youth on the team.
Jan 6, 2007 at 6:09 am
It’s sorta like that joke about the dude telling the doctor “it hurts when I do this” and the doc says “well, stop doing that”. just tell the notre dame fans “well, stop getting your ass handed to you.”
