Will anybody be sober?

LSU's Tiger Stadium at night? You have got to be kidding me.

Well, in the fall of 2010 West Virginia will trek down south to face LSU in a night game. To quote the kids, "This is going to totally off the hook." (They still say that right?)

Picture this: About 80,000 totally blitzed cajun inbreds co-mingling with 15,000 liquored-up hillbillies. Sweet!!! ESPN will need a permanent crowd-cam, and Erin Andrews will think Rey Maualuga's sneak attack was consensual.

This is an outstanding non-conference match up. WVU is proving that its not afraid to play anyone anywhere. With ColLinkorado and Auburn on the schedule in 2009, Michigan State in 2010-11 and Florida State in 2012-13. Of course the Mountaineers are saddled with playing in-state stepchild Marshall for what seems like an eternity.

LSU and Les Miles have also proven that they will take on all challengers also, unlike many others in the SEC who fear leaving the warm weather and comfort of the South. The Tigers face Washington this season and again in 2012.

Would have loved this game more during the Pat White/Steve Slaton era when the Mountaineers owned the SEC. But if HC Bill Stewart can get out of his own way WVU could continue its dominance over the nation's best conference.

I can't wait for this game. Maybe we should start celebrating now.
