Tourney Update
The NCAA 360 tourney is chugging along as we are almost done with round two. Get those games in, guys. (Yes, I am fully aware that Dan has not played his next game..and that I haven’t either..)
And for the record: Using “WTF” in a review isn’t by itself a bad thing if used properly. I didn’t think Dan used it the right way (remember..my rules, I make ‘em up!) so I raked his knuckles with a ruler. See, that’s right out of High School English 101.

Well, it was a sunny day in Baton Rouge as the LSU Tigers met the University of Tulsa.
In the beginning, things were popping for LSU. They scored on their first two drives. One on a 11-yard pass to the HB and another on a 15-yard pass to a WR.
In the second quarter, Tulsa got into the game with an amazing 48-yard field goal that had another 10 yards of distance to clear. LSU answered with a lucky strike and scored 64-yards later by the WR. LSU also barely cleared a 46-yard field goal to take it into halftime.
The third period was quieter as LSU scored on a short 2-yard run by the HB. In the fourth, Tulsa mounted a late drive and scored with a 25-yard pass to his TE.
Here’s how the stats broke:
LSU had 254 yards of offense to Tulsa’s 177. The LSU QB was 6-6 with one TD. The Tulsa QB had a tougher time as he went 4-14 with one TD. Total passing yards was 165 for LSU and 81 for Tulsa. Rushing was 18 attempts for 80 yards and a score for LSU, and 22 attempts for 96 yards for Tulsa. Time of possession was 8:42 for LSU and 11:22 for Tulsa.
DD Trane played with honor and I found a new friend. He was a pleasure to have as an opponent and I’m sure he’d take me next time. We both play Madden as well so I’m sure we’ll have many gridiron battles in the future. But this time ended with the score 31-10 for LSU.

And I just realized what a moron I am. I’d been playing my LSU dynasty all day and just had LSU on my mind. I was supposed to play with Arkansas. I sent DD Trane a message, but I’m willing to accept a DQ for this. The teams were not evenly matched. What a dunderhead I can be.
