I'm still waiting on a couple of pictures before posting about the fun events of this past weekend, so let's talk football. Jeff and Erin graciously opened their new house to us and a few others for an away game party on Saturday. LSU played 'Bama in Tuscaloosa that afternoon, but the Tigers unfortunately couldn't come away with a win against the third-ranked team in the country. I, like the rest of the LSU fans out there, will always wonder if that botched call on Patrick Peterson's interception cost us the game, but like my friend Scott said, if it comes down to just one call, it's too close of a game to begin with. I guess we can't win them all, but our boys played very respectively opposite Saban's stellar team. Let's hope the Tigers can win out the rest of the season and snag a good bowl slot.
On the other hand, the Saints are still on fire. We went back to Jeff and Erin's to watch the game on Sunday, and the two of them were mighty glad of the win....they almost believed their house was a bad luck charm! Even though the boys in Black and Gold haven't always played their best football this year, they have still managed to emerge victorious. But to make it even better, many of the players seem to know that despite continuing to win there is always room for improvement in their performance (ahem, Reggie, are you listening?). I find myself alternating between not knowing what to do with myself until their next game and being extremely nervous for the team and the amount of pressure they must be under to win. But I'll be honest: it's more of the first one.
Oh, and see this link for a story that ran in the local paper about the Saints....you may recognize the person in the fourth picture on the right!
