It's 3 a.m. and there's other stuff to be done, so I'm just going to make a few quick notes on the LSU football team. <ul><li>Yes, the Ryan Perriloux situation has taken another turn as you've undoubtedly heard. Check out <a href="http://www.lsureveille.com/">www.lsureveille.com</a> for the best information on Perriloux.</li><ul><li>For the record, I'm ready to see what Jarrett Lee can bring to the SEC.</li></ul><li>Get excited! You heard it here first: pushover Homecoming match-ups are a thing of the past. Victory in next season's game isn't necessarily guaranteed, though it's likely. I'll just refer you to our 2008 schedule and let you look for yourself at the slated home games. I'll tell you this: It's an SEC opponent. :) </li><li>I'll be putting in for away tickets to Gainesville and Auburn for certain, and I have enough priority points to get them. I have relatives in South Carolina, so that's also a possibility. If I can somehow attend the Arkansas game, it will be the first time, and last time, that I've made every game on the schedule as a student.</li><li>I've been told that, even though the announced list of Athletic Director candidates has been released, that the opportunity to file for candidacy has not passed. And looking at the current list, a potential candidate that has NOT applied that would seriously contend is none other than Senior Associate AD Herb Vincent. Don't rule him out of applying, and I'd take him over Verge Ausberry, although word on the street is that "in-house" is out for this position. </li><li>The band isn't "out on the field," but they are moving. The Golden Band from Tigerland won't be in its usual stadium corner spot; they're going to be stuck in the middle of the Student Section. This has potential to affect Greek and organizational student seating, producing a domino effect that might cause problems for freshmen tickets.</li><li>There will be an Athletic Ticket Forum March 6 in the LSU Student Union. I will get the time of that to you soon, but it will be in the Atchafalaya Room. Students can pose concerns about the ticket process, including Priority Points and the postseason distribution process. Attend this event!</li><li>All of LSU's championship football trophies from the beginning of time will be displayed in the Union Art Gallery all day Wednesday, March 5 and until 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 6. That includes the glorious crystal ball from January's Richard Dickson-led thrashing of Ohio State. Dickson went to high school with me, and by now all of you should know his name, number, position and level of awesomeness, which is, unfortunately, incomprehensible by the limited capacity of the human brain. </li></ul>Mike the Tigernoreply@blogger.com
