I didn't know this, but Tim Molton out for 2009
Apparently, Redshirt freshman wide receiver Tim Molton hurt his knee and is out for possibly the entire season :( I heard he tore his ACL. This happened back in June but I am just now hearing of it now. I am super depressed about this, I was looking forward to watching this guy. He was Jordan Jefferson's main target back at Destrahan High.

No Surprise here, Jefferson Named Starter
Les Miles has named Jefferson starter at the SEC Media Days. That's no shock after Lee's 14 to 7 TD to Pick 6 Ratio last season. But the bigger question was where id Russell Shepard fit in to all of this. The kid is an athlete, no doubt about that. He is a jack rabbit with the ball, got a decent arm, and a good head on his shoulders. Do I think he is ready for the SEC QB job? No, but he is ready to play, anywhere, and Les Miles agrees.
LSU Opener and ULL Game picked up by ESPNU, set for 6pm
LSU vs. Vandy and LSU vs. ULL will be on ESPNU at 6pm. ESPNU doesn't come with regular cable so if you aren't going to the game, you might have to order it. Those games are the second and third weekends in September.
Recruiting Update.... #17, #18, #19
Good Gosh, I should just do recruits in bulk. The Tigers have been racking up with verbal commitments this summer. Les Miles and Co. have adding three more in the last week or so..
#17 Elliot Porter- Porter is a four star defensive tackle from Archbishop Shaw. He is a big, strong guy that should make some noise up front. Committed: 7-18-09
#18 Jordan Allen- LSU's highest ranked commit thus far, Allen is an defensive end from West Monroe. He is a four star commit that I have heard alot about, but never really researched, I might get on that... Committed: 7-18-09
#19 Tyrann Mathieu- Another four star, Louisiana product, Mathieu is a cornerback from St. Augustine in New Orleans. The Advocate had good things to say about him but something worries me. He isn't very big, which for cornerback isn't really a deal breaker especially for his athleticism, but the wide receivers in the SEC are pretty tall while he is at 5'10". Committed: 7-21-09

LSU Football Fan Day is going to be Aug. 9
LSU Football's annual fan day is set for Aug. 9 in the Baton Rouge River Center. Praise the Lord for the air conditioning. Doors open at 2:30 with the coaches and players out for autographs and pictures at 3:30 til 5. When they say done at 5, they mean done at 5 even if you were next in line. That happened to me two years ago in Jacob Hester's line :(. They will give out posters, schedule cards, and magnets. Admission is free...
Commitments #14, 15, 16
#14: Zach Lee- He is a two sport athlete that will play on the football team as Quaterback and pitching for the National Championship Tiger Baseball Team (shout out! Has it really been that long?). Lee is a four- star, pro-style QB from McKinnely, Texas. He is extremely smart too (4.8 GPA). He committed back on June 14.
#15: Houston Bates- Bates is a defensive end from St. Paul's in Covington. He is a three star end that plays mostly on the weakside of the line. From what I can see, he is very strong with a pretty good 40 time of 4.7, but hey, I am only a girl so what do I know, right? He committed back on June 17.
#16: Evan Washington- Some say this one is a rumor but I am going with it. Washington is a 4 star offensive lineman from DeSoto, TX. He was highly recruited by other major schools. A big guy at 6'5" and 290 pounds. Fun Fact: He is the son of former NFL defensive lineman Marvin Washington. He committed yesterday...
