While I never visited this store, I enjoyed your trip down memory lane and reflection on today's world vs yesteryear.

I especially enjoyed this quote...

Yet together they possessed that mysterious quality that certain simple things acquire when encountered at the proper age and in the proper place.


I hear Morgan Freeman in my head.
Don't know what a crowd pop is but I was intrigued by a stat that flashed up just after the Landry TD saying that was Mett's 8th TD pass of the year. In 4Q of game 9. I thought it must have meant the 8th TD pass to Landry but then I looked it up and saw Mett's season totals were 12 TD's / 7 INT's.

I had (thankfully) forgotten exactly how bad QB play was under Miles with a few exceptions. Wish I could have visited this board from the future and told them that 7 years later an Ohio State transfer would throw for 60 / 6 just to see the reactions!

Note: I'm not bashing Mett in this thread and realize this was his first year as a starter and the 2nd half of the Bama game was his awakening. Just reflecting that these type of numbers were our expectation under Les.
Saban named it appropriately after the 41-9 loss to UF in 2000. The Catastrophe Syndrome. He was referring to the players it applies equally (maybe more so today) to the fan base. It means you are just waiting (and expecting) for the next bad thing to happen.

We were wearing them down as the game progressed and DJ was very good


Yep. Of all the “ifs” last night, if we don’t give up the TD drive before half, we win. Just dug too deep a hole.
I said it in thread last night I remember many on this board saying we needed to move on from the Big 10 retread (Burrow) after 2018 UF game. Burrow took an incredibly bad sack that led to a late turnover in the red zone and ended all hope with a late 4Q pick 6.

There’s no substitute for time and experience in a system. Am I saying that Sam is Burrow? No. I am saying that Sam has much more upside than we have seen so far. Exactly what that is remains to be seen but his competitiveness (like Burrow) is unmistakable.

Unless it’s a dislocated patellla which a knee pad absolutely could have protected against.

+ Starkville
Worst combo ever. 95 loss in Lexington.

Who can name 37 and the big play he made in LSU history?

I get it though. I was pretty worked up when Saban went to Bama. But not this level we’re seeing now in Mississippi


Yeah. Imagine Saban went directly to Bama before we played in the 2003 Natty.

That’s how they feel.

That rule dropped while Dinardo was here too. That's how Florida wore white at home against us in 1998 while Dinardo was still our coach.



Ah Yes. I forgot about that.

That was one of the first screw job games by the SEC. Fred Booker pick 6 erased by a late phantom lined up in the neutral zone flags.
So sad the crackback block is now illegal. Greatest ever was Nicky Savoie vs Arky in 95 to free David Lafleur down the sideline.

Thanks NorthEndZone!

2 is cool but when I look back on my 16 year old daughter, the 5 - 7 years are hard to beat.
quote:

Dinardo got the rule changed about 30 years ago


Dinardo got the rule changed to say the home team CAN wear white but it required the visiting team to agree. This was the reason for the White Out Vandy in 96 when they refused permission.

Sometime between then and now, the SEC dropped the requirement for the visiting team to agree. Now it’s 100% home team choice.
Nix-to-Twillie

You’re not dealing with the most mature or rational here. Half the folks on this board don’t even know what your handle means.

I agree. I still pull for him and wish him the best.
You are correct. INT was at the 33 and FG was 49 yards meaning the D gave up 1 yard on 3 downs on that possession.

I said it last night and will repeat it here. I don't recall an LSU D-lineman being this dominant as a true freshman since Booger in 1995.

Yes, Marquise Hill and Dorsey were very good freshmen but not this dominant.
