As you may have noticed if you read this blog regularly, and you are a very select group, I have not been posting much lately.
First, I apologize.
When I took a job in sports journalism I thought that I would have plenty of time and inclination to write on the side about LSU and other important sports points. But I haven’t. Truth is, most of the time when I get home from sitting in front of my mac at work all day, the last thing I want to do is sit in front of another one and do more work.
One major frustrating thing about that is that I feel like I have things to say. Some ideas that have been floating in my brain to do, but that I haven’t gotten around to are:
1) My survey of high school coaches on the Miles vs. Saban debate.
2) Why I hate Bob Stoops.
3) The inane history of the BCS, and why what we have now is exactly what we had before.
4) What LSU needs to do in the offseason
5) Why several Louisiana schools should seriously consider FCS.
Plus, the whole thing about trying to spend time with the family, when I am gone 2-3 nights per week with work has been tough.
So what should I do, then? Am I to continue in passivity that stagnation may increase? By no means!
But I am not sure what exactly to do. I would love it a couple of people were willing to do this thing with me, and thus would provide a (slightly) more collaborative feel to the site, which would ease up the pressure of posting every day, and allow us to feed off of one another’s posts. But so far, my attempts to find individuals to do this has failed.
I could just shut it down, but I don’t really want to do that, because I enjoy it.
Plus, this LSU season has been disappointing, but I have also been traveling a good bit, and it is not easy to blog when one is spending quality time with family.
So again, I am at a loss.
I have really enjoyed being a part of the SEC Power Poll – that has been great. There are a lot of great, and very well-written blogs in that left hand sidebar, so go check some of them out.
On that note, I will put my final ballot up today or tomorrow, and we will be coming out with an All-SEC team in a few weeks, so be sure to look for that.
So, then the great question: Whither go we hence?
I don’t know. Suggestions welcome.

I can understand how hard it is to keep blogging, but I enjoy reading your perspective on all things LSU, whenever you do provide. Therefore, I hope you do keep writing, no matter how sporadic it might be. Now that you’ve posted them, I’m really interested in the ideas you have above (specifically 1, 2 and 4). But I completely understand if you decide to pull the plug completely. I don’t know if it floats your boat, but you can always ask to be a guest writer on one of the other LSU blogs out there. That way you can write what you want when you want it and not feel the pressure of keeping this one up.
