So did you know LSU had a boxing group/squad/pride/gaggle/litter/whatever you call a boxing team? I didn’t, but now I do and feel smarter for it. And not only did we have a team, we won individual national championships with “Pee Wee” Moss in 1949 and Tad Thrash in 1950(kick ass boxing name). LSU will be honoring Mr. Moss this weekend by having him throw out the first pitch on Saturday against Florida.

Big Baby has turned up his game. The former LSU Star averaged 21 minutes and 7 points per game in the regular season playing in his second year with the Boton Celtics. However, after losing Kevin Garnett for at least the first round of the playoffs, Big Baby stepped in and averaged a solid 18 points and 41 minutes a game. The Celts moved past the Bulls after a hard fought series that went all 7 games. The Celtics meet the Magic in the second round tonight.
They do it every year around this time. The guys over at collegefootballnews.com come up with their ridiculous ‘Way Too Early Bowl Predictions’. This year is no different. Sure, it’s fun to think about the season ahead of time and try to come up with who you think will win it all and how the season will shake out. But…..
Truth is, no one ever knows. Do you remember the unbelievably wacky 2007 season, when LSU made it to the National Championship game on the last night of the season? Oh and by the way, I’m pretty sure these guys just give USC the automatic bid to the championship game every year and then just insert the hottest team from the year prior. This time around, it’s last year’s champs, Florida. More after the jump……

Austin Ross got the win yesterday and lead the Tigers to the series win after splitting a double header on Saturday. LSU is now 36-13 on the season and 16-8 in the SEC. The Tigers are now in the home stretch of the season and host Florida in a three game series starting Friday.
The LSU Rugby team absolutely dismantled teams this year and gone pretty much unnoticed around here. They recently returned from Berkely, CA where they went 1-1 trying to win the national championship. They beat the crap out of Utah 47-5 and lost a close one to San Diego St. 44-30. The week before, they beat Air Force 51-18. Earlier in the year, they beat Sam Houston 68-13 , Rice 81-0, Texas 58-3, Texas A&M 33-14, and 120-0 over Texas Tech!
I’ll be honest, I know little about the game and the rules, but I do know one thing……these guys know how to drink! Back in the day they hung out at Brightside Bar and Grill and I had a couple with them once and sang some songs. It was great!

Yep. It is a real contest. Name of the Year is a group that was founded in 1983 and every year they pick the best name. I guess once you’ve been in the contest, you can’t be again….. who knows.
Anyway, Barkevious Mingo the new LSU Tiger linebacker has won it. We knew the name was awesome when we first started hearing about him in the recruiting season. He will join the team this summer I believe. In this contest, he was up against names like Chew Kok…..really?!?, Atilla Bucko, Taco Vandervelde, Crystal Metheny, and Nutritious Love. I know, I can’t believe those are names either.

Collegefootballnews.com has voted LSU as tied for the 10th best WR school in college football. Here is the story.
Everyone remembers where they were when Michael Clayton tipped the ball to Jack Hunt Devery Henderson in Lexington, KY November 9, 2002. And man, I can remember being in Tuscaloosa the day that Josh Reed and Rohan Davy went off and torched the Tide 35-21, setting team records in the process. Reed caught 19 passes for 293 yards and a TD. Davey had 528 yards passing. LSU’s wide receivers have always been solid as long as Jarrett Lee wasn’t throwing to them. More after the jump.

Ok, look. I’ll be honest with you. BMOT50 made me drink on a week night last night and I feel like crap so I can’t really think of any clever/witty things to write for you today. I can actually feel my pulse in my forehead and I think I wet the bed last night so things aren’t too great in UDR land right now. So anyhoo, I found a little article stating that the BCS is like communism and my dynamite commentary on the subject is……yep. It seems that the majority of people agree with me so take that individualism. You can read the article after the jump.
