With the Gators not playing last weekend the only game for The Angry Budgie was LSU v Georgia in Athens, this pitted the fighting tigers against number 18 ranked Georgia.
First Quarter: A tight opening quarter saw both teams trading punts, with neither getting into a position to score. Thankfully for the fighting Tigers the only score was to come for LSU, on a second and goal from the 5 yard line, Jefferson found Scott but the LSU running back was unable to break into the end zone. This left Jasper to score a 23 yard field goal, with just 3min 51sec left in the first quarter.
Second Quarter: More a replication of the first quarter, both teams trading field position with no score to show! Again LSU were the only team to score in the quarter, after 10min 55sec. LSU called a timeout and Jasper kicked the resulting 42 yard field goal. The first half gone and the scores were 6-0 to LSU.
Third Quarter: No score in the third quarter, Georgia unable to break through the LSU wall.
Fourth Quarter: Georgia wasted no time in the third to take their first lead of the game. With Georgia pressing the LSU defence held firm to stop three plays on their own goal line. But it was fourth time lucky for Georgia, when Cox faked a hand off and passed for a one yard touchdown. With the extra point Georgia lead 7-6 with 14min 15sec to go. LSU would re-take the lead after a facemask penalty on Georgria would give LSU a first and goal at the 4 yard line. Scott then dived over the left guard to give LSU a lead of 12-7 with 2min 53sec left. Georgia were not done yet, a great 49 yard pass from Cox to King put Georgia at the LSU 16. Two plays later and another pass Chris Hawkins scored a touchdown to put Georgia in the lead 13-12 with 1min 09sec to play. LSU were to break Georgia hearts, with just 46sec to play. On a second and 6 Scott broke the line of scrimmage and past the Georgia secondary to score a 33 yard touchdown, this gave LSU a 20-13 win.
Attendance: 92,746 at Sanford Stadium.

Phoenix v Romford 04th October Game Review
Sunday's game saw the first visit of the Raiders to the Ice Dome, having not won any of their previous games I hoped the Phoenix would not be their first! The previous night saw the Phoenix travel to Swindon for a potentially tricky away game. Thankfully the Phoenix turned it on and skated away with a fine 5-1 victory. On to sunday nights game.....
First Period: Rather uncharacteristically the Phoenix got into the scoring ways with a power play goal! Shock horror! It was to come with 2min 13sec gone in the game and with Payette and Walker combining to set up Greg Wood on the far post for the score. More surprise was to follow when the Phoenix added to the earlier score with another PP goal. This time with 6min 01sec gone Ian Bowie with his first of the game piling on the misery for Romford. With the Raiders offering little by way of offensive force the Phoenix scored their third of the period, When with 12min 55sec gone Robert Lachowicz scored his first of the game.
Second Period: After the blitz of goals in the first period the Phoenix chose to rest Steve Fone and let Adam Summerfield play the remaining two periods. The Phoenix had noticeably eased up in the game, as the second saw only one goal. Again for the Phoenix, scored at 21min 10sec, Hagelberg fround Ian Bowie who scored his second of the game.
Third Period: Sensing the will of the Raiders just about gone the Phoenix pressed home their advantage. Three minutes after Mattsson had rung the post Adam Walker broke his duck and scored his first of the season, coming after 43min 32sec. Ed Courtney showed once again his silky skills and accuracy, scoring the Phoenix sixth after 46min 22sec, with a wicked shot through the 5 hole. The best goal was saved for the last, after 49min 50sec the Phoenix put the game to bed, when Roberth Lachowicz went the length of the ice to score a fantastic goal!
Verdict: A much better performance from the Phoenix, the full effect hidden by Romford being so poor! Also another game where the Phoenix Brit's shone! Even though it was a fairly simple game, the Phoenix still had a team in front of them!
Attendance: 1,000 in the Dome.

EPL Season Playlist - First Edition
Right over the past week or so I've been thinking about doing another musical themed hockey post, and a couple of tracks came to mind that could be quite appropriate! There will hopefully be a few of these posts as we head through the season so consider this the start of something this season! Following in from a Five Minute Major, Breakaway British Hockey Blog and TAB's first attempt, this post will see some obvious choices and some not so obvious choices!
So without further ado onto the music......
1) One Minute Silence - Fish Out of Water
'Some you win some you loose....the fish are out of water'
This one came to me rather randomly recently, this song was the single reason I bought the album. Cracking tune and, during my time at uni was a favourite on the rock club dance floor! On a hockey front, the lyrics cant be more apt, the tale of a hockey season, games you'll win and games you'll loose!
2) Saliva - Ladies & Gentlemen
'Like nothing you've ever seen before, watch closely as I open this door, your jaws will be on the floor, after this you'll be begging for more'
The theme tune to the Phoenix entry video in previous seasons, and an absolutely perfect song. The lyrics are appropriate (as any first time hockey visitor would attest too) and a real heavy tune. Easy to clap to, and a tune so perfect that since the Phoenix have dropped it for this season, a 15 page thread appears on the forums about the choice of tune! The appearance of which, Rob over at The Pyre commented on recently!
3) Journey - Dont Stop Believing
'Don't stop believing, hold onto that feeling'
The thinking for this song stem's from a quotation at the foot of the Phoenix website, from MD Neil Morris:
'If you believe in a dream for long enough it becomes reality - Neil Morris - April 2003'
With all the crap and heartache Phoenix fans have been through you really cant stop believing!
4) Children of Bodom - In Your Face
'Say one, more word, I double-dare you, BRING IT ON, Its my world, you're in it, It'll take you down in a minute'
Read those lyrics and you cant not think of hockey, pure aggression and fight. Two things which are very important the moment you step out onto the ice! It also illustrates how quickly you can go from dominating a game to complete humiliation! Better take care out there boys 'n' girls!
5) Biffy Clyro - That Golden Rule
No real reason for having this tune in the list, except for its epicness, forget the first half of the song just go straight to the last half and enjoy!
So that's it for today, hope you like the tunes, feel free to comment!

LSU Fighting Tigers vs Mississippi State Game Review Saturday 26th September
Next up last weekend for the LSU Tigers was an away game against Mississippi State in the Davis Wade Stadium in Starkeville. This would be a tough game against the number 7 ranked team! Anyway without further ado onto the game!
First Quarter: It was to be a poor start for Mississippi when, on the first snap of the game, the snap by Lee slipped through his recievers hands into LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson's fingers. He then ran untouched for 37 yards to the endzone. With 12min 47sec on the clock the Tigers were 6-0 to the good, the extra point conversion was not held by LSU holder Derek Helton. Mississippi were on the board when they drove 66 yards over nine plays to the LSU 2 yard line. Dixon then took a great misdirected pass and dived over to score. Add in the conversion and with 7min 14sec the Buldogs held a 7-6 lead. Not to be outdone LSU then went on their own nine play 66 yard drive, culminating in a touchdown for LaFell and the extra point made the scores 13-7 with 3min 45sec left in the quarter. Sadly for LSU a special teams mistake would hand the Buldogs the lead. After Alex Russian hiked the ball over Helton's head the Buldogs finished off with a 1 yard touchdown drive. This out Mississippi ahead 14 -13.
Second Quarter: The only score of the game was to come to LSU, after a fumble by Mississippi's running back Arnil Stallworth, LSU converted a 22 yard field goal. Scores at half time 16-14 to LSU.
Third Quarter: LSU started the second half in style, with plenty of time on the ball Jefferson aimed a 58 yard touchdown dart into the hands of LaFell, this gave LSU a lead of 23 points to 14 with 13min 30sec in the quarter. The Buldogs pressed hard and with 6min 33 sec on the clock they were rewarded. Marcus Green caught a 50 yard pass from Tyson Lee for a fine touchdown. Scores now 23-21 to LSU.
Fourth Quarter: What was to come was something special, Chad Jones fielded a punt on the LSU 7 yard line and running down the left sideline ran for 93 yards to the Mississippi endzone. This was LSU's second logest punt return in their history. After that impressive score LSU were 30-21 in the lead with 14min 36sec left in the game. The Bulldog's new they had to press for a score, and with a 46 yard catch by O'Neil Wilder the Buldogs had to settle for a 22 yard field goal. With 10min 13sec the scores were 30-24 to LSU. The LSU defence held firm and the final score was to come from the Buldogs, with 51sec to go in the game, Helton was confined to the LSU endzone and rather than punt from there elected to step out of the endzone for a safety. Final score Mississippi 26 LSU 30.

Florida Gators vs Kentuky Review Saturday 26th September
Last saturday saw the Gators finally go out on the road, next stop Lexington and a matchup in the Commonwealth stadium. The chance for a 4-0 season awaiting the gators!
First Quarter: After beginning on their own 34 yard line the Florida Gators were quickly in a scoring position with a first and goal opportunity, Sadly for the blue and orange they had to settle for three points, when Caleb Sturgis scored a 22 yard field goal with 11min 13sec left on the quarter. After forcing Kentuky to punt from their own end zone the Gators were in great field position. Tebow was able to rush for a three yard touchdown, and with the conversion Florida were 10-0 with 7min 11sec to go. More misery was to come the way of Kentuky, another punt from their endzone, this time was blocked by Chris Rainey. Another touchdown and conversion had the Gators up 17-0. The next Gator possetion yielded a 58 yard scoring drive, capped by a two yard rush with 2min 35sec to play. The 2min and 34second drive ended with a 13yard touchdown pass for David Nelson. To cap it off Aaron Hernadez caught a 44 yard touchdown pass in the closing seconds of the quarter putting the Gators 31-0 ahead.
Second Quarter: The Gators defence held firm in the initial stages until the 8min 48sec mark. The Wildcats went on a 14 play 58yard drive, capped by a two yard reception on a fourth and goal score by Ross Boque. This cut the lead to 31-7 in the first half.
Third Quarter: With 3min 49sec remaining The Gators got their first points in the second half with a 32 yard field goal from Sturgis. Not much else happened in the quarter!
Fourth Quarter: After trading possession until the Gators forced Kentuky to punt from their endzone. The resulting reception and drive got the Gators to the Wildcats 8 yard line. Brantley only needed on play to connect with Riley Cooper on an 8 yard touchdown pass. This score now 41-7 with 6min 39seconds, this score was to prove to be the final of the game.
Attendance: 71,011 in Kentuky.

Phoenix v Milton Keynes 27th September Game Review
In a homecoming game for Nick Poole, the MK Lightning skated into Altrincham for a top of the table clash. Supported by some fine (and noisy) support the stage was set for a cracking game! Like the Lightning the Phoenix came into this came off the back of a difficult win in Sheffield saturday night. By all accounts the Phoenix had not played well! Anyway onto the game, two points and a 4 and 0 record were on the line!
First Period: From the off it was obvious this game was going to be instense and fast! From the initial exchanges the MK Lighning made it clear they were the best team to have played on the Alty ice so far. Huge physical presence and pressure backed up by some skillfull play and excelent goaltending, from veteran Barry Hollyhead. Some good chances in the first, however it was MK who had the most clear cut opportunities. The first goal was to come (unsurprisingly) from MK with Adam Carr netting while short handed, you may discount what I say next as im a Phoenix fan, but this goal should not have stood. The ref managed to miss a rather obvious hook on Hagelberg in front of the Lightning goal. This was followed by the lightning skating up the ice to score! After some poor powerplay's from the Phoenix (who had 4 by this point) MK showed them how it was done. With just over 17 seconds of their first powerplay Steve Fone was picking the puck from his net. Ross Bowers scoring and humiliating the Poenix! The only bright spot of the period for the Phoenix faitfull was a stunning diving save from Fone early in the game!
Second Period: Thankfully the Phoenix upped the pressure in the second, and were finally rewarded after 27min 59sec on the powerplay (yes the power play) Tony Hand found Hagelberg in front of the net to score. A good goal, after the Phoenix had finally managed to drag Hollyhead around his goal and out of position. The Phoenix then camped out in the MK zone trying to get the game tying goal, but it wasn't to come in the second!
Third Period: Early in the third the Phoenix hit the post and continued to press, however it was MK who scored first. After 57min 53sec Adam Carr put the Lightning 3-1 ahead. More Phoenix pressure followed, with the Phoenix Brit's leading the charge. Then in the dying minutes new Phoenix captain Luke Boothroyd stepped in from the blue line and fired a wrister into the bottom corner. A rather contentious goal, as there was a rather loud 'ching' as the puck went past Hollyhead. With the Phoenix pressing the home faithful had their hearts broken when, at 59min 06sec MK number 4 made the final scores 3-2 to MK.
Verdict: A tough game, not helped by a below par performance from the Phoenix. MK showed why they were joint leaders, and no Phoenix fan could really say they didn't deserve the two points! The Phoenix now know what needs to be done, some players need reminding that hockey is a 60 minute game! But credit where its due, the Phoenix Brits put it a very good effort!
Attendance: 1,063 according to PowerPlay magazine in the Dome.

UL finally got on the board at the 11min 26sec mark when Masson completed 4 out of 8 passes for 34yard, placekicker Tyler Albrecht grabbed a 40 yard pass to make the scores 14-3. In the dying second sof the half Jasper scored a career best 52 yard field goal to make the scores 17-3 going into the break.

Fourth Quarter: Into the final 15 minutes now and UL had a chance to score their first touchdown of the game. Sadly locked onto the LSU 3 yard line UL fumbled the ball and the chance was gone.
