I was lucky enough to be at the game last year in Baton Rouge. It was one of our best games as a team and Kenny Frease had a great game. I was very impressed with their hospitality - freindly to a small group of us from out of town at a local watering hole. The Baton Rouge newspaper carried a very nice write-up about our program before and after the game. The radio talk show was all about the game the next day basically saying that LSU needs to be more like Xavier if it wants to make the NCAAs (they ended up winning the SEC). Fans came up to us in the arena saying they liked our program right after the close loss. Class all the way.

My wife and I also went to the game in Baton Rouge and also found the fans to be very kind, hospitable and respectful while being very loud and proud for their team. They showed their respect for X and more than one mentioned that they always root for X when they see us on TV. While hanging out at The Chimes, a local watering hole, before and after the game the LSU fans were very complimentary of X and the # of fans we brought down. I hope we are as hospitable to the LSU fans.

I laughed my ass off. It's all in fun. It is good to hear that there is mutual respect between the Tigers and Muskies.

Thanks, MORie...but I'm not sick. Sure, I took a hit from that broad the other day outside the Vatican, but Goering, Goebbels and Himmler are changing some stuff around here, so it won't happen again. Plus, Sister Mary Hofbrau has been nursing me back to health over here.

By the way, MOR, I never see you at Mass on Sundays these days. Is there a problem? The Holy Feuhrer would hate to send Colonel Hessler (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi3Rh4TDDlo)all the way over to Lakewood just to straighten this out.

Now, now. You in all your infallibility know that we have decided to throw our considerable weight and questionable fortune to the beautiful inner city Irish parish St. Colman in the Cleveland urban jungle. Mass is attended there at 11:00am each Sunday and we enjoy listening to that infamous Viet Nam war protestor Pastor Father Begin. This is one of the parishes that people refuse to let the Hangin' Bishop close.

I guess its just your Halfs-Heimers periodically kicking in.

Oddly enough, your Pontiff was baptized at St. Colman's. Many o' the O'Malleys check in there from time to time, so we'll check out your story.
