Good morning,
First I'll start with some news. LSU will be getting a new Mike the Tiger. Mike the Tiger V died last year and the search has been on since. Don't brush this off as trivial. LSU's tiger is highly HIGHLY respected and loved in Baton Rouge.
I first heard back in June that the new Mike would be introduced at the first home game on Sept. 8 against Virginia Tech. However, that was put to rest on Monday when reports said Roscoe (not yet named Mike) will be on campus on the 8th, but not in Death Valley. Good news for Tech fans.
If you want to see where Mike VI will live, visit the website. It's insane. Click here.
One other thing...
Colleague Mark is looking for a new college football team to root for this year. He's calling all readers for a vote. Now, we all know who I am going to vote for, but the rest is up to you.
OH! Thanks to Reggie Bush for stopping in and posting. Might be the comment of the year.
I'll return later today.

Bill Simmons has a good reason why he doesn't follow college football. It's not a sport you just pick a team and root for. You have to have a reason for rooting for them. Seems that the reasoning for most of Mark's teams are "They're good". Which means in a few years, when they hit a rough patch, he'll be back to having a vote online for his new team. Follow CFB, be a fan of college football as a whole. Plenty to cheer for.
Just my opinion. And if you have to pick, pick the Hokies.
