The Aint's no more

O.K. I spent all day Saturday thinking of the Saint's game and I'm a Steeler fan. I was just as excited for that game as I was last year for the Super Bowl. The Saints are the best team left in the playoffs. I think that they will go all the way to the Super Bowl.

Now just think what will happen if that does comes true. They didn't even have a home field last year. They have a rookie coach and a new Q.B. that had major shoulder surgery in the off season. Nobody in there right mind would have picked them to even be in the playoffs let alone be in the Super Bowl. The town of New Orleans will go crazy and then Miami will really now what it is to party. Baton Rouge has a lot of New Orleans people living here after the storm and so this town will be crazy also.

I think that the Saints will beat Da' Bears cuz there defence is playing very well right now. The only thing that worries me is that if they don't put Rex on his back quick he could hurt you. But if they do, he will make mistakes and that will be good. I don't think that Bush will be a big factor in the running game but will be in the passing game. I think that Karney will be more involved like in the Dallas game. Brees has been good all year, should be no change in that. And the Duece will run for over 100yrds again.

So my pick is Saints 32 Da Bears 17

O.K. here are a couple of pic from the Sugar Bowl last night. I got to go with some people from the Church and had a great time. But let me tell you what I had to do to get to the game. Tuesday morning I was in Okeechobee, Fl. we were getting ready to go to Carole's brothers house that lives in a town about 1 hr away. We were gonna stay the night and get up really early and hit the road to come home so I could watch the game at a friends house. I get a call from Kerry Wilkerson ( a really good friend that goes to the church) and he had a extra ticket to the game and it was mine if I could get back. I had to talk to Carole about it because this was her part of our vacation. And she said lets drive thu the night, because she is the best wife in the world. So we went to her brothers house to visit and left that night at 11:40 pm and got to B.R. at 11:00 am. I drove most of the way because I could not sleep. I had to meet them at the church at 2:00pm, so I tried to take a power nap didn't happen.
It was well worth it to see LSU beat the Irish.

Merry Christmas

O.K. I know it's been along time again but it's been crazy at the Turner home. We had so many parties we had to go to and a vacation to get ready for.

We are now in Ohio at my dad's house and want it to snow but it has not yet. Now they say it should snow tonight, lets hope. My brother's kids and wives were here this morning and we opened all the gifts it was very nice to see them all but i wish both of my brothers could have been here but that's another story that I'm not getting in to. Just pray for them. We are in that time now where you just wait for all the food to be ready. You know that 2 to 6 hours that seams like days because the house smells so good from the food and you can't go in the kitchen or you will get fused at for sampling a few things.

It been a good trip so far except for the no snow thing. Carole and E even bought snow boots so they can't wait to walk in the snow. I'm sorry E can't wait but those of you who know Carole know what I'm talking about. If it does snow we will have pics on all of the blogs. And Carole will be in the snow making a snow angle. Ha Ha

BCS

O.K. I know its been a long time. But I hope this is worth the wait.

I think the BCS got it right this time. I think that the Ohio State Luckeyes & the Florida Gators are the two best teams that can be in the game. LSU of course is the best team and would beat both of the team in that game but we can't so I will be going for the SEC even though I can't stand the Gators and don't like the Luckeyes even more. I do think the Gators will give Ohio a good game and with the right play calling I think they will pull off the upset. Now Ohio does have a really good football team and one of the best Q.B. in Collage Football.

If you read my blog a few months back you know I said that the winner of the Ohio/Michigan game would play Florida in the Championship Game.

My score for the game is Gators 24 Luckeyes 21

The Game

O.K. I have been thinking of this now for a little bit. And I think that the winner of the Luckeyes and Michigan game will be the camps. I don't think that if the luckeyes lost they should play in the game but I also think that if Florida wins out they should jump the no lose team of Louisville (cuz they will stay unbeaten ). I think that Florida has had one of the toughest schedules in football maybe USC had a harder one. Now people that know me know I can't stand the Gators or the Luckeyes so if it comes down to them I have to go for the SEC. But I don't think the the Luckeyes will be there. I think that Michigan will beat them and it will be them and the Gators so Michigan will win it all. Now lets talk real football LSU . They play Tennessee in about 2 hours and I do think that LSU will win this game and will win out. The score for today's game will be LSU 28 Tennessee 10. The defense will score a T.D.

The Longest Day Ever

O.K. There was no LSU game today and this day is just going on forever. This morning we did the JDRF walk at LSU. I was very happy with the turnout for our team from Coca-Cola there was about 15 people which is alot for us. We also raised about $800 and Coke will match up to $500 and that the most we have ever raised. Carole was volunteering at the Baton Rouge Dream Center so I dropped E off with her and then there was nothing going on the rest of this long day. I got home and watched a little football and took a nap on the couch.

I have to work Tomorrow, all day, I will be going to the Angola Prison Rodeo. If you have never made it to the rodeo I strongly recommend it. It is the neatest thing and you can get some really neat stuff there and it is all hand made by the prisoner's. They do it every Sunday in October. They have done shows on T.V. on the rodeo.

Next year!

ESPN Game Day before the game









Karen, Me and Jimmy Clyde

Some of the Harvey clan. Evan (holding the pink pillow) Karen in pimp hat, Bradly with psycho eyes and full LSU clothing and Brad dressed in Gator cloths. By the look on his face you would think he knew how the game was gonna turn out.

Get over it

O.K. The game is over.

LSU lost.

Most people didn't think We would win this game anyway.

They are not gonna fire Les Miles.

I will post my pics at a later date, they are not developed yet.

That was a long ride home. The people I went to the game with decided to head back to BR that night so we left at around 10pm and drove straight through. I got home at 7am Sunday.

I've been on vacation this week so I don't have to hear every want-to -be-coach in BR say that they would have done this or that to win the game and they would have won it to.

We play Kentucky this weekend. Now lets get ready for Saturdays game. The Wildcats have a better team then other years but LSU should take this one easily. This games on TigerVision so there should be a good bit of people out there.

My score LSU 45 Wildcats 14

Gators/ Luckeyes

Ok, I leave for the game tomorrow and I can't wait. I,m gonna try to leave around 2pm that would put me at Karen and Brads around 11pm.

This week took forever. I think that LSU has a good shot at this game, If the Tigers throw the ball to set up the run. Now I'm not one of thous people who think they know more than the people getting paid to do it. That's just a thought.

Here is an article from ESPN for all the Russel haters or the ones that don't know him (my brother Dennis).

The other day I was talking to Dennis about football. Which he knows nothing about. The reason I say this is he thinks the Ohio State "Luckeyes" have the toughest schedule in collage football. Now up to this point they have had a tough one but look at who they play Bowling Green (not ranked) then Michigan State (not ranked and may not have a coach) Indiana ( not ranked) Minnesota (who) Illinois (I thought they just had a field for when the Bears were building there new stadium not for football) Northwestern ( again not ranked) then they get there perfect season gone for there hardest game of the season The Michigan Wolverines.

Now let me know how you think has a tougher schedule.

The score for the game LSU 27 Gators 17

Ticket

O.K. I got a ticket to the LSU/Florida football game for this weekend. I've never been to Florida's stadium before. This should be a very good game.

Florida is #5 in every poll out there. My goal is to see the Tigers play in every SEC stadium. I've been to Old Miss and Georgia.

ESPN's GameDay is gonna be there. So it should be a little crazy around there.

I will be going with my friends Jimmy Clyde , Karen (LSU Fan) & Brad (Gator fan) Harvey, and their young'ins. Carole is staying here in BR with the kids. She's the best.

Mississippi State

O.K. I've got two things here. First thing is the Steelers wont lose this week because they have a bye week. Big Ben is just not the same right now ( he did just bounce off a car this summer and have an emergency apendectomy before the first game of the season) But they will do better. They will make it to the Super Bowl and play the Saints and win it.

Next LSU plays Mississippi State this weekend at 11:30am. I hate early games it's not right. The Tigers are supose to play at night. But the will still win this game hands down State is not a good team they got beat by Tulane two weeks ago and had a hard time against UAB last week but did win that one. I think Lsu will have another great game of running the ball and throwing it.

score LSU 43 State 9

Wake up

O.K. I know we played Tulane this past weekend but still you don't fall asleep inside Tiger Stadium. That is what my lovely wife did. She put her head on my shoulder and I was talking to her telling her about the game and she never answered me I look at her and she is sleeping. Yes, she was at the talegate helping me from around 12:30, she didn't get her nap and the next day she came down with the flu but still....

Not the end of the world

O.K. It's not the end of the world here. Yes LSU lost and the refs did not help out any with the bad calls. The SEC said there was no bad call in the game. (Don't know what game they watched but it was not this one) But play calling was not all that good either.

Now don't get me wrong I still like this coach and I think he will change his play calling next time. Like when you can't get the run game going.

The defense looked great they are #1 in total defense, # 1 in pass efficiency defense and tied for 1st in team interceptions with 6, with 7 other teams.

They play the Green Wave of Tulane this weekend and should just knock this team to the moon. LSU should run and pass at will. LSU will put this game away quick.

GEAUX TIGERS

LSU 54 Tulane 6

Auburn

O.K. Lets get ready to rumble. I think that's what they need to say before they start the game. Because this is gonna be a battle. Auburn has a great team that why they are ranked 3rd in the nation. There running game is really good lead by Kenny Irons who ran for 218yrds last year at tiger stadium. I think the winner of this game will not only win the SEC but also play in the National Campionship Game. Now I could be wrong but I don't think so. Both teams to me look that good. So on that note I have to pick the score.

Tigers 17 Tigers 10 L S U

How 'bout them Tigers?

First I would like to take a moment to look back at what happened 5 years ago this day. I know where I was and what I was doing. Carole and I just watch the last 30 minutes of the T.V. show they played and we just sat there with mouths open holding back tears. Just take a couple of minutes out of your day and pray for the families that lost love ones.

O.K. The winner of this weeks pick was yours truly. I missed it by 7.

Did they look good or what. There are still people out there talking about how this team is still not that good. They said that because they could not score a T.D. on the first drive. There are some people you just can't please. They just need something to fuss about. The Tigers have out scored the teams they played 90 to 6. The Tigers are 4 in the nation in passing and on defensive 1st on points allowed 5th on interceptions with 5. LSU's defense has not allowed a touchdown in 14 quarters.
