Bloghardt's Reflector


“If now I seek the forgiveness of sins, I do not run to the cross, for I will not find it given there… But I will find in the sacrament or Gospel the word which distributes, presents, offers, and gives to me that forgiveness which was won on the Cross.” (AE 40, 214)

Almost Troy-ed...

Posted At: 1:13am by Bloghardt

There they were, down 31-3 with a little over eleven minutes to go in the third quarter.  LSU had done nothing.  It was going to be another humilating defeat in a season of bad defeats.

Jordan Jefferson was in for a fourth down at the three yard line.  LSU had just limped down field.  If they were going to do anything to get back into the game, they needed to score. 

My brother and I were talking about our father.  He never believed a game was over until the final second ticked off. He once had to take his two sons home early from a game that LSU was winning big to USC.  USC came back and won.  Dad was really upset that he had missed the end of the game.

This time... LSU scored.  Then, they scored again...and again.. and again.. and again...

Improbable.  Unbelievable.  Thirty-seven unanswered points in a little over a quarter.  I was stunned as I listened to it on XM Radio.  Then, wow, it was on ESPN360 and I watched the end of the game on the internet.

It shouldn't have been that close.  It shouldn't have been even a game.  But, it was... and LSU escaped with one of the best victories of the year. 

Now, I have to tell Little George that he was right and I was wrong.  He said last year that we'd play for a national championship with two losses.  That had never happened and so I told him that he was probably wrong.  He said today that they'd come back.  LSU has never come back from this big of deficit in one quarter.  He was right.  I was wrong. 

I guess IV is more like Jr. than III.  Gotta love what the Lord does inside families between generations!
