Didn't think Auburn was the underdog. That said, yeah I guess it was disrespectful. At the time, people really didn't like TT due to his arrogance, and this was just another reason to dislike him. It was just all part of the LSU-AU rivalry that gave us some great and memorable games for over a decade.

Man, LSU fans take cigars pretty seriously. We've had smoking them on their field likened to someone's death and pissing on their logo.

We definitely were.

I don't see it, but even if there was some disrespect is it not time to move on?

It was his first year at AU, was this arrogance demonstrated at Ole Miss? I really don't remember.

This I can agree with. Been lots of great games and interesting side stories.
