Will the real LSU please stand up?

Long, long, long time ago, when television was still in its black-and-white broadcast days, there was a show where a panel of special guests tried to guess who was telling the truth about their job or some other unique lifestyle or situation. I believe it was called "To Tell the Truth".

Out of the three guests who claimed to be someone special, only one was the real thing--much like the 2007 LSU Tiger football team.

Just who are the LSU players wearing the purple and gold this season? Are they the real thing, or simply imposters? Their opening line was very convincing against Virginia Tech. Their second and third lines were also pretty good statements when Middle Tennessee and Mississippi State showed up to play.

However, the Tigers must have been trying to fool the national panel of guests for the rest of the season with their performances against all the other teams. They never really put anybody away like true champs and that was frustrating to long-time Tiger fans.

Only one more step for the LSU football Tigers remains to prove to the national panel just who they really are, and that's coming up Monday night, Jan. 7.

Will the Tigers show up like the real thing, full of pop and energy; or will they fizzle out like yesterday's leftover soda?
