I don't normally watch football, but I did watch the last quarter. I must say it was AWESOME!

>I do believe there were 11 freaks of nature across the field from him last night and he certainly was more than able to conquer despite size.

Florida has one of the largest defensive lines in college football (269 lbs./player) The average NFL defensive lineman is 289. Hester is strong for his size, but was barely able to squeeze through with the help of the Tigers' gargantuan offense. He's a great college player, he won't be an outstanding pro. He would have been awesome in 1975, but today you can't rely on steroids and weights, you need the genes and the bones. He's too big/slow to be a speed niche back (like Holliday) and he's too small to be a big boy in a different position. A 4.6 40 won't cut it for a 6' 225lb. white guy in the NFL

I hope I'm wrong.

I have been a season ticket holder for awhile and this was THE best game I have ever witnessed in Tiger Stadium. I watched a recording last night when I got home and unfortunately TV did not do this game justice. You barely get a sense of how hard these guys were hitting each other out there. Another thing that was soooo awesome was Mike VI coming into the stadium. They played "Eye of the Tiger" and rolled Mike around the field and there were goosebumps on top of goosebumps. Usually a lot of people start leaving early. I only saw 4 people that I know for certain left the game. When it was announced that USC lost the whole stadium shook like it was surrounded by freight trains. I do not want to see LSU play this team again this year.

We can't play them again, they're out of the SEC championship and there's no bowl that could realistically end up hosting both of us.

Fla. is not out of the SEC Champ. They are only one game behind USC and they play them Nov. 10 There is a very good chance we'll see them again.

LSU has been a power house this year. They still have a about three big hills to climb. It is the small green waves that can be so dangerous. I still think I enjoy LSU Baseball much better than football. Much more civilize game such as tennis. The LSU mens baseball is so much fun to watch starting with regional, super regional and then College World Series in Omaha. Even if LSU gets beat I will keep trying to pick teams. Rice is good and so is Clemson.

LSU had the #1 recruiting class in the country this year in Baseball. Rice is always good and don't count out Tulane. I think this will be a good year for Tiger Baseball.

The man benches 450 lbs, and he's young, don't be so quick to count him out-

Smaller/weaker players have done it. With a little determination and drive, he'll do fine.

Hey Joe.....SHUT UP... you are getting on my nerves!

joepole · 10-09-2007, 08:28 AM

I apologize for being right most of the time.

We'll only find out if you are right after he is drafted and after his first season in the NFL. Until then , your thoughts are only your thoughts and theories.

I think LSU is better off losing this week and not having the pressure of being #1 so they can get back and play ball. Get well soon Hester.
