And had to accept the invite. Texas needed the SEC far more than the SEC needed Texas.

Of course Texas was begging to join the hayseed SEC to try to regain some actual relevance in college football.

When I was in school at LSU, the entire week before the Ole Miss game, especially when in Tiger Stadium, was like a big festival. Flag football tournament on the Parade Ground for charity, panty raids (yes, they actually happened), food fights in the cafeteria on Thursday night.

None of them had connections to Louisiana before coming to LSU.

For many years after every home game prior to the Ole Miss game, “go to hell Ole Miss” was chanted as people left the stadium. It wasn’t just the student section. It was everywhere.
There is a letter on display at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in Jackson calling for a protest against the admission of James Meredith to Ole Miss. The anonymous letter, apparently written and circulated in early October of that year, ended with “Go to Hell LSU.”

A friendly correction: Louisiana was founded as a French colony before 1719, 1699 to be exact. New Orleans was founded in 1718. The town of Natchitoches was founded in 1714.
It was not founded as a penal colony.

Full visiting bands always were allowed to perform at half time at LSU, certainly in the 70s. Aggies always brought their band, as did Alabama, Ole Miss, etc. I assume it has always been that way.

Professors who actually understand what their job is would not be discouraged from working at a university that expects teachers to comply with standards for how to conduct classroom teaching. There are ways to discuss controversial subjects without being a jerk and insisting students agree with the professor or face being banned from class. That isn’t what an academic freedom is about. But I would hope that professors like the one who was fired would be discouraged from working at universities in Texas and elsewhere. They shouldn’t be teaching.
As a professor, I do expect my students to be respectful to me and to each other, and I, likewise, am respectful of them. Students are free to form their own opinions. I do want them to know why they have formed the opinions they have,

Actually, it’s not all that unusual for an associate professor to be a department head. It depends on the size of the department, who is available, length of service, and who is willing to do it.

I was referring to the dean and department head. They were removed from administrative positions, not fired. Sorry if I wasn’t specific enough. Glad the instructor was fired, however.

But they still are on the faculty. He removed them from their administrative positions, but didn't fire them.
The President of the of the university knew that if he didn’t act quickly, he would take heat from the Governor and, I would think, lots of alums. Not sure he did it out of real conviction, but at least he didn’t defend the actions of the dean and department head.

If he was intended to be a sacrificial lamb, why did Bama tie themselves to a 70 million buyout? I think they seriously thought he was the guy.

Sherman didn’t found LSU. It was established by the legislature. He was the first Superintendent of the school, however.

I think it’s funny that a guy who follows people making a living by playing games that are purely for entertainment, like baseball, gets upset about people who make a living making videos that are also for entertainment.
re: Post your team’s best punt return ever
Posted by tigerinridgeland on 7/2/25 at 8:43 am to TigerintheNO
Hard to top the Cannon punt return for historic value.
The ref runnng down the sideline wasn’t a ref. He was an Ole Miss fan who snuck into the game in his high school ref’s uniform. He couldn’t get a ticket to the game outside the stadium, so he went back to his car, put on his ref’s uniform (he refereed high school games in Mississippi) and walked into the stadium through the officials’ gate. No one challenged him, so he stayed on the sideline for the whole game, True story.

Based on general statistics, married men are more likely to have an affair than married women.
Do you have any statistics that show male professional athletes are less likely to cheat than other men?
Cases that gain notoriety aren’t a sufficient basis to draw a statistical conclusion.

Franky, yes, a separate property agreement before marriage does in fact protect the husband or wife as to property acquired or income earned by each spouse during marriage when there is death or divorce. But in most cases, community property works pretty well. And if you don’t want to get married in Louisiana, then the same holds true for Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Washington, Oregon and Wisconsin. In other states, “equitable distribution” can generate similar results.

quote:
Bama said they want space in yours
LSU has won 48 NCAA national championships. Alabama has 10. That doesn’t count football, since that not determined by the NCAA. But if we add football, including 18 claimed by Bama, LSU still has 24 more national championships than Alabama. I don’t think Bama will need space in LSU’s trophy case anytime in the near future.
