Another GREAT WIN for the LSU Tigers on Saturday. That's the 4th win for LSU against top 25 ranked opponents. The Tigers are still ranked #1 in the AP Poll and still #2 in the ESPN/Coaches poll. The first BCS poll comes out after next weekend's games. It'll be interesting to see if LSU is given credit for the 3 wins aginst ranked opponents on the road.
As I mentioned before, ethanol or ethanol gasoline cannot be transported in pipelines as it would corrode the lines. So, ethanol has to be transported to refiners or terminals to blend the ethanol gasoline by rail tank cars. Read the following article on a major fire near a residential area due to overturned rail cars of ethanol in transport which caught fire. Pretty scary..........

Explosions shake Ill. village after train derails
By KAREN HAWKINS , 10.07.11, 09:48 PM EDT 
TISKILWA, Ill. -- Most residents evacuated from the northern Illinois village of Tiskilwa after a freight train loaded with highly flammable ethanol crashed and caught fire are being allowed back into their homes.
Terry Madsen of the Bureau County Emergency Management Agency says about 700 to 1,000 residents of the town were evacuated after the accident early Friday.
Officials say the evacuation of Tiskilwa, located about 100 miles west of Chicago, was strictly precautionary. Madsen says most of those kept away live in a small cluster of houses on the northeast side of town.
Officials say they expect firefighters will be working to suppress the fire throughout the night. Madsen says water and foam will be poured on seven burning rail cars and other derailed cars all night.
