13-2…..It Pains Me to Type That!
January 1, 2010
Hey everybody in Who Dat Nation! …. I’m writing this during the LSU Capital One Bowl Game, so maybe I should say “Tiger Nation’?!
Well, just a few brief words on last Sunday’s game because there’s not really much to say……..First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who has checked to see how I am doing. Each day I get better and better. I guess I took a hit to my ribs and they were banged up a bit. It’s just important for me to go in for treatment and get back to 100%.
We obviously didn’t play like we know how to play. I’m just glad that we have time to fix the problems that we have before entering the playoffs. (Of course, we need to fix the problems in Sunday’s game against the Panthers, first!)
A huge congrats to my teammates who made the Pro Bowl! …. Sharper, Stinch, Jahri, Drew, and Vilma! They were all very deserving! There were certainly more guys on our team who deserved to be named, in my opinion, BUT….the NFC is strong on talent and there are limited spots to be filled!
One thing to remember, though, …… If a team makes the Super Bowl, then their players cannot take part in the Pro Bowl……….I’d rather wear a Super Bowl jersey than a Pro Bowl jersey this year, and I bet those guys would say the same thing!
Alright……so, a look at things ahead…………Saturday we travel to Carolina for our final regular season game against the Panthers. Then, we are off for 2 weeks. Coach hasn’t really set our schedule yet for our “bye” week, but I’m guessing it will be sort of like a bye week in regular season……He’ll give us a few days off to see our families and relax. Any guys that need to get treatment will stay in town just to make sure we’re as healthy as possible for our game the next weekend!
I’m really excited about where our team is headed!! I know we’ve given you Who Dats some reasons for concern the last two weeks, but……stick with us! We’re correcting what’s wrong, getting healthy, and we’ll be ready for post-season action!!!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year’s!!
Happy New Year!
Who Dat!
