Tiger fans a joy to be around I just wanted to let the LSU student body know how deeply their fans touched us at the UA/LSU game Saturday night. My son is in the “Pride of Arizona” band, which put on the pre-game and halftime show.
The LSU fans cheered loudly for our band, and stayed for the post-game show.
Afterwards, the LSU folks came up to many of the band members, shaking hands and complimenting them on their work.
My son was overwhelmed by the warmth that not even our own hometown “fans” show. You all truly have class, and this band mom is impressed!

God’s law should not be mocked
I am appalled at Mr. Jay Melder’s column of September 5.
You are correct in saying I can’t handle the idea of “God being locked in a closet.”
My Christian faith is a lifestyle, not just a random assortment of beliefs. What bothers me most about your article is the fact that you are doing the very thing you accuse Christians of doing. You claim that “just as you wouldn’t want someone rubbing their beliefs in your face, they don’t want you to do that either.”
I feel the same way, yet in writing your article you are doing just that.
You are mocking the beliefs I hold dear, the beliefs I live my life by, and in essence telling me that your beliefs are better than mine. I pity the fact that you feel you must mock others’ beliefs to be secure in your own. But more than that, you are mocking God, and as Scripture says, “God will not be mocked.” When you say “put down your candles, God didn’t go anywhere,” you are right. He’s still here and He’s still deserves respect. I also did not appreciate your rewriting of the Ten Commandments.
Those are the sacred writings of God, not something to parody. Perhaps you should practice what you preach and respect others’ beliefs.
