LSU's Offense & Tennis Hooligans

LSU seems to have found their offensive coordinator. Gary Crowton, currently Oregon's offensive coordinator, is heading to Baton Rouge to serve in the same capacity at LSU. I think this is a great hire for the Tigers. Crowton runs a wide open, pass-happy offense that should entertain the Tiger faithful and put loads of points on the scoreboard. Crowton has served as the head coach at Louisiana Tech and BYU. He's also been the offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears. Crowton hasn't really been the same since his Louisiana Tech days, but with the talent in Baton Rouge, he should return to his glory days of five wide offensive sets. LSU now has a fan's dream: a blitz happy defensive coordinator and a high octane, wide open offense. Isn't that what every fan wants out of their team?

By the way, it looks like Crowton is a Mormon as he graduated from BYU and has seven kids. He should fit right in at Tiger Stadium, a place much like a Mormon temple in faith and devotion. It just happens to be filled with drunk, loud, and mean LSU fans.

In other news, tennis hooligans disrupted the Australian Open yesterday. Looks like beer and nationalism produces tennis fights, too.
