1.) I knew we would win and told all of you that weeks ago.

2.) I think that being equally capable in all three phases of the game makes LSU by far the more balanced football team.

3.) Winning the game by 100 or 1 means, by the only yardstick that ever counts in the record books or in the BCS
selections for the NCG, that LSU is the top team in the country. Love you guys, but you just didn't do what it took
to walk away with the nomenclature No.1 team in the country. WHAT IS SEC football but a bunch of homers
bragging about their own team? This time it just happened to be for big, big stakes.

Tyrann Mathieu is a superbly skilled football player that PLAYS like a short, unwanted recruit. He runs his mouth
far too much to suit me while he is on the field, and he does some really dumb things once every coupla games.
But he is just one more reason you guys were beaten. He was there when he needed to be there, knocking down
passes, tackling players much bigger than he was in the open field, and making our defense stout enough to throw
back the second most talented team in the USA. And he is a punk. But he's OUR punk.

He was a nonfactor in that game. Other than almost decapitating the guy who had been eating his lunch all night with a cheap shot. Doesn't matter anyway, I just believe him to be a punk, and wanted to go on record as saying so.

Anyway, I don't want to sound like a poor loser, because that's not the case. I just call 'em like I see 'em. We're just going to have to agree to disagree on a few points.
