Top HS Quarterback to LSU!

Lemme tell ya sumpin!
          Makes sense doesn't it. The biggest name for a quarterback goes to one of the biggest football schools. If you are a top recruit and you want to play the best, you go to the SEC. No other conference is close. Since 1900 there never has been. For sure back in the olden days when the only national press around, came out of Nue Yawk, there was still a hatred by Yankees for everything southern, reconstruction was not that far gone. So all the northern teams got all the press, and most of the championships. The power shift was given a big jolt when CNN opened in Atlanta, and from that time onward the news was no longer dominated by Nue Yawk. ESPN got to promote Charles Woodson for the Heisman trophy though, a very good corner back on a very good team over one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever drop back, the great Peyton Manning, but because of that no one takes ESPN seriously anymore. With the comedy antics of their announcers like Lee Corso, Kirk Hebstreit, and all the rest, ESPN is more of a Comedy / Variety show than about sports. Think the sports version of the Globe LOL. People get more news and updates from the Net and Twitter than anywhere else.
          He pledged to Indiana, his home state then renigged on his word. He then announced his final 2 were Notre Dame, and Vanderbilt, he was going to get a real education, at Vanderbilt at least. Next thing we hear he's going to LSU. He must not have been into chunky women. Has he talked to Nick Saban yet, or Mark Richt at Georgia, Derek Dooley at Tennessee, the Gators, Arkansas? Don't go so fast Gunner, you still got time.    
          Gunner Kiel has stepped in it, he has the chance to stamp his name on a College Football Championship. When you play at one of the better schools in the SEC you have that chance. He didn't play the top talent in high school, but he did throw for 2,517 yards, for 28 Touchdowns with only 4 interceptions. We'll see if he can perform on the biggest stage in college football. We're watching Gunner.
          Has anybody told this kid how hot and humid it is in August in Louisiana? Go Gunner! Go Tigers!
