re: Stadium gameday atmosphere is a problem…
Posted by engl6914 on 9/24/23 at 5:36 pm
Back when the stadium held 67,000 all of the areas north, west and south of the stadium were open fields with the exception of the ROTC building and Alex Box. The parking was free and very close to the stadium. You could get out in a reasonable time even if staying for the end of the game. Now th...
re: Why isn't Kelly getting more criticism for end of game clock management?
Posted by engl6914 on 9/24/23 at 5:05 pm
There must be 1,000 decisions Coach has to make before and during a game. This decision about the field goal is just one of them. Of course some of these decisions will be wrong in retrospect. It's too complicated to be otherwise. ...
re: Vegas has LSU 15 point dogs to GA in Atlanta

Same point spread as against Alabama. We’ve become a very good defensive team and getting better. The fact that improvement is occurring makes it hard for odds makers. ...
re: The Loudest Ever?
Posted by engl6914 on 11/8/22 at 7:43 am
I went to my first game in 1960 as a 11 year old, a 7-6 win over Miss St, and was awestruck. I wondered if the crowd was as loud a year earlier when Billy Cannon made his punt return. I have been since to virtually every game cited on this thread. What I can tell you is that they are a series of ...

[quote]ESPN showed a sound meter that registered at 110db in the NEZ last night.

You can look it up, but 110 db is like a jackhammer, or standing near the runway with a 747 on its take off roll....
re: Trying more to understand this fumble non recovery
Posted by engl6914 on 11/6/22 at 8:14 am
This play and the "pass interference" /tipped ball play in Alabama's overtime possession may have had something to do with Kelly's decision to go for two following our overtime TD. The longer overtime goes the more likely some referee call decides the game....
re: Why are the tiger stadium speakers so bad?
Posted by engl6914 on 10/30/22 at 8:26 am
[quote]The logical conclusion is that you wind up installing a lot of quieter speakers that are closer to the listeners. But there are trade-offs and it’s extremely complicated as I mentioned in my previous post.

I think this must have been done in Bryant-Denny at Tuscaloosa. When I go...
re: What is the cost for a pair Stadium club season tickets?
Posted by engl6914 on 10/6/22 at 8:38 pm
I don't have the bill in front of me but recollection says two seats in 309 is about $7,000 donation to Stadium Club (maybe TAF). Then buy two sets of season tickets ($300 for two to Alabama and $200 for two to Ole Miss). Then make a contribution of, say, $500 for the right to buy a parking spot i...

A fault of memory. He was AD here from 1978-1982. I should've looked it up, though it's close enough....
Will there ever be another Tiger Stadium?
Posted by engl6914 on 10/6/22 at 3:35 pm
Just reading the thread regarding crowd noise high marks at TS. We have at TS what amounts to a legend in its own time. Other SEC fans have heard and wonder about the place. I remember Ath Director Dietzel 30 years ago proposing a new stadium down Nicholson because TS was so maintenance heavy. T...
re: Loudest Tiger Stadium moments that weren't game deciding?
Posted by engl6914 on 10/6/22 at 12:01 pm
My moment would be four plays before the pass to Eddie Fuller to win the Earthquake Game. On the final drive, when LSU had to have it, Hodson hit Willie Williams with a pass on fourth down to set up the final four downs of the game. I've been going to many, many games at Tiger Stadium for 62 years...
re: LSU Fans reputation
Posted by engl6914 on 10/4/22 at 1:43 pm
Those of us who have lived in other areas of the SEC are aware of the reason--south Louisiana is culturally distinct from the rest of the SEC. They are not sure what to think or do about us. I lived three years in Birmingham and remember the quietness and uncertainty when the issue of going to Bat...
re: Need to play Nuss
Posted by engl6914 on 10/2/22 at 2:02 pm
I'm not complaining--about any QB. Wasn't it only 9-10 months ago that we didn't have a QB? A wide receiver suited up as QB because he had played QB in high school. He and 35 others suited up. For a bowl game.
That we can put a competitive team out there at all, let alone see the great plays ...

re: After having seen three games, predict our final W/L
Posted by engl6914 on 9/19/22 at 2:21 am
I don’t want to get into numbers of wins but will say this coach is blessed with the gift of insight. We already have a team to be proud of, and I sense coming, though perhaps not this year, some monumental games against Alabama—the kind where the football world just stops and watches. ...
re: What, exactly, was everyone expecting last night? We got a dose of reality.
Posted by engl6914 on 9/5/22 at 2:13 pm
We only had 30 players to suit out late last year. There's a large infusion of transfers. We have a new coaching staff and players working with each other in a game for the first time. I thought it was a great achievement to come back the way we did. Standing back to look at it, the QB and the t...
re: The general response to Kelly, who did AMAZING things for ND, is disgusting

The ND fan reaction reminds me of us when Saban left. In fact, there are some of us still calling him Satan. ...
re: So we settled for Kelly? I guess Woody thought Saban was too old.

I think hiring Kelly will mark a turning point for the better for LSU football, just as did Saban's hiring 21 years ago....
