Yea saint,
He's talking about 20-25 years from now when LSU will have come within 10 games of evening up the series (currently 46-25-5 in your favor).

I never thought they were, much like LSU/UF. If both clubs are doing well at same time there's interest, outside of that...

At current rate since turn of the century (8 - 4) that'll be about 60 years. I don't think I'll hold my breath for that one.

"What he did and what he promised to do are full of political instruction and also of warning. In his own State of Louisiana he showed how it is possible to destroy self-government while maintaining its ostensible and legal form. He made himself an unquestioned dictator…. In reality, Senator Long set up a Fascist government in Louisiana. It was disguised, but only thinly. There was no outward appearance of a revolution, no march of Black Shirts upon Baton Rouge, but the effectual result was to lodge all the power of the State in the hands of one man. If Fascism ever comes in the United States it will come in something like that way."
~ The New York Times, September 11, 1935
Also go listen to his Share the Wealth speeches.

quote:
Number one, we propose that every family in America should at least own a homestead equal in value to not less than one third the average family wealth. The average family wealth of America, at normal values, is approximately $16,000. So our first proposition means that every family will have a home and the comforts of a home up to a value of not less than around $5,000 or a little more than that. Number two, we propose that no family shall own more than three hundred times the average family wealth, which means that no family shall possess more than a wealth of approximately $5 million—none to own less than $5,000, none to own more than $5 million. We think that’s too much to allow them to own, but at least it’s extremely conservative. Number three, we propose that every family shall have an income equal to at least one third of the average family income in America. If all were allowed to work, there’d be an income of from $5,000 to $10,000 per family. We propose that one third would be the minimum. We propose that no family will have an earning of less than around $2,000 to $2,500 and that none will have more than three hundred times the average less the ordinary income taxes, which means that a million dollars would be the limit on the highest income.
He stifled commerce in Louisiana by building the Old Mississippi River Bridge in Baton Rouge low enough to prevent large barges from traveling upriver because they wouldn't play by his rules and donate to his political machine.
There are tons of examples of what the man did to harm this state.

That'd be a great way to make a beautiful stadium look bad. I have a hard time picturing endzone decks that don't look like an eyesore.
I think it will be awesome. They would go from the boxes to the boxes and wrap around the scoreboards.

You have to admit that you made yourself sound really stupid saying that Saban made TS appropriate for expansion when we expanded it by 14k the year before he was hired
Posted on 4/27/12 at 8:40 pm to chinese58
Idk about that playa.

I don't have to admit anything, and to answer your earlier statement, I can be a lot more wrong.

Credit that sabun gets for this expansion: 0%

Not sure how much value I'd put in a NY article written about LA.
And those speeches were given during the Great Depression? I'm sure everybody and their brother was looking for a way to fix it. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I don't put as much weight in what a politician says as compared the policies they inact.
You're probably older and more knowledgeable than me when it comes to Long, but I've never heard anyone say he was terrible for LA.

FDR thought Long was a dangerous man, and he instituted the damn New Deal, which has proven to be a disaster.
Trust me, Long was awful for this state.
