Outgoing Mail

In American warfare vernacular, outgoing mail is a term for friendly artillery intended for the enemy. Here at Tigerbait, it's a you tube to get you in the the right mood about the Tiger's whipping their next opponent and just getting out of the office for the weekend. I give you: Duality by Slipknot.



I really enjoy how this song just drives forward while alternating between a staccato raging and a melodic mellow anger. Plus, it just had to have been a fun video to be a part of, destroying a house while your band is playing inside of it while playing some sort of red light green light with your moving/destroying/dancing/headbanging, all of it alternatively sedate and then out of control.

For LSU to take out Xavier, they are going to have get pretty reckless. They simply can't man up in the middle, and Xavier is strong there. So the Tigers must come out and show Xavier they aren't playing around. In basketball, you don't have to go toe to toe with big men to be physically even or even dominant. LSU has to play as they have, shooting well, taking care of the ball and Johnson's oft quoted toughness while getting after Xavier. They simply can't let Xavier come in and establish themselves and dominate physically. This, on paper, isn't a game LSU should win. But, that's the time you can through caution to the wind, play with abandon and just let it all out on the court.

So we go from freezing cold to 70 degree dang near perfect weather this weekend. I'll take it. Hope it's nice where you are.
