Lightning doesn’t strike twice for App. State — SmackCaster SmackBlog
How much of an embarrassment was last year’s season-opening loss by Michigan to Appalachian State? Well, no knock on the Mountaineers but LSU pummeled them on Saturday, 41-13 . That is no disgrace. What is the ever-growing disgrace is what Lloyd Carr & Co. did last season, losing to Appalachian State at home. The game could go down as the greatest upset. Ever.
LSU Now 2-0 Against Teams That Recently Beat Michigan [College Football] — Deadspin
The LSU Tigers have just finished up their tilit with Appalachian State, and it wasn't as close as some people expected. The Mountaineers, who of course beat Michigan at Michigan to kick off 2007, were trounced by the defending BCS champions (who beat Ohio State in the BCS title game, who had beaten Michigan seven weeks before that game, 41-13. LSU will now try to get past the hurricane, ...

The state of Louisiana has already declared a state of emergency, and with LSU hosting ...

FanIQ College Football Top 25: No. 5 LSU Tigers Preview & Predictions — FanIQ Blog
Suggested Team Slogan Give Us A Break, Remember How Good We Were In 2007
What we learned in 2007 Well, we learned the LSU Tigers were pretty damn good. Mainly, they were exceptional on 4th and 1. Though LSU never lost a game in regulation (thank you Les Miles, you have a nice day as well), they also won two games by converting on 4th down by, well, the officials opinion.

Is this the most important game in the history of the FCS? — The Grizzoulian
Video from AppFan
No one thinks it can happen again. No one thinks it'll even be close. But what if? Has there ever been more of a "games like this are the reason we play sports" type of game?
App State won't blow away LSU's defense like they did to Michigan. (Sidenote: anyone else remember that Michigan beat Florida?). Then again, they won't be facing as good of an ...
Appalachian State vs LSU, Prediction, Preview — SEC Football Blogger
Appalachian State vs LSU, Prediction, Preview . LSU is not Michigan . That pretty much sets up this prediction. Last year I was telling my buddies that Appalachian State was the Division II kings . No one should ever look past them.
Well, this year, NO ONE will look past them. Not one single team will ever say ” That is just little ole Appalachian State ” . App State might still ...

TARGET FILE: vs. LSU [10.18.08] — Garnet And Black Attack
Perhaps one of the most befuddling teams in the SEC this year is LSU. No one with any sense can deny that the Bayou Bengals are stacked with talent; Nick Saban and Les Miles have set up the program to where a stuffed raccoon could be recruiting coordinator with no noticeable let-up.
He doesn't like your 40 time.
But the Tigers return 12 starters -- "only" 12? -- and lose some of ...
