Methinks “elite” has overtaken “take away” and “fluke” as the most overused and misused terms among ranters. Somebody please move us on to a new catchword. Take away that one fluke play and our elite players kicked butt. ...

Posted by ROPtiger on 12/17/19 at 8:12 am

Go back and read the whole story. It was in Sports Illustrated a few years ago. Not only did orthodontist Billy Cannon serve as dentist for prisoners, he was asked by the warden to take over as director of the entire medical facility.

re: Why does College Football hate LSU

Posted by ROPtiger on 11/28/19 at 7:52 am

College football is not a good hobby for wimps, crybabies or those with inferiority complexes. I don’t really know how good Ohio State and Clemson are because neither is my team and neither has played my team. My team ....the LSU TIGERS....is much better than I thought just 3 months ago....and...

Is Oby’s Cajun Restaurant not stil there? It was my favorite for 20+ years of meetings several times a year at MSU. Good po-boys, muffs, drafts, etc. BTW ....numerous new motels built in Starkville during that time. Check out Oby’s a few blocks from campus....
