re: Dogpile in Hoover??

Evidently a lot of you did not catch the reference to Lane Mestepey .
A dog pile cost LSU one of the top pitchers in the US in 2003. Lane Mestepey, our ace, was injured in a dog pile and had to take a medical redshirt for the entire 2003 season. He never reached the level of his pre-injury pitching.

re: Farthest ball hit in old Alex Box was by a non-tiger?

“…even tiger stadium were often hit on the bounce” – sounds nice, but I seriously doubt that Tiger Stadium ever had a bounce hit.
Using Google Earth: from the old home plate to Tiger Stadium is 1,002’ +/-, to the Admin Building is 625’.

Fixed it for you.
Your topic reads: “Do other teams fans make fun of our mullets?”
I opened your post thinking that you were an Alabama fan who got confused as to where the SEC rant was. Then I saw that your question was regarding our Tigers and my first thought was that someone should take this poor, misguided idiot behind the woodshed and smack some sense into his pea-brain.

After we steam-rolled Army, our team had them do a “victory” lap followed by the Tigers. It was a great show of sportsmanship.
re: Leland Maddox is the worst color commentator in the business

And why would Mainieri be on the mound talking to Houston’s entire infield about defensive strategy?
Can you refer to someone as a “color guy” and still be PC?

This is a very poor and tasteless attempt at humor.
Everywhere you see people calling the current military “heroes”, and unless this is applied to a specific action, it is grossly overused and degrading of the true meaning of “hero”.
When we came home from Nam, it was a vastly different kind of homecoming – it was one not deserved and certainly not one that would not be tolerated today.

re: 1968 Sugar Bowl - LSU vs. Wyoming
Posted by Pietra on 2/27/13 at 5:06 am to JEAUXBLEAUX
What always struck me about the game was that Wyoming had 15,000 fans there. A not very impressive number until you learn that that was 10% of the entire state!
The city of Cheyenne had a population of 115,000.

re: Why no lids/straws at LSU concessions?
Posted by Pietra on 2/17/13 at 9:38 pm to purpleblackgold7
The following actually happened and the policy is still in force at the “request” of the Department of Homeland Security – your tax dollars at work:
I questioned one of the concession managers when they first stopped supplying straws at the Box. Believe it or not, the reason is that immediately after 9-11, out great and wise government decided that that not only finger nail clippers on airplane fights were a security risk, but drinking straws were also a risk at sporting events! Yes, they could be used as weapons, but who in their right mind would highjack a baseball stadium? Therefore public universities, etc. were “encouraged” to stop give straws to customers. If you remember, plastic knives and forks also vanished at the same time because they also had the potential for use as “deadly weapons.”
PS: And without straws, you have to take the lid off to drink – ergo, no lids.

Actually, they were reserve / substitute SEC refs who live in Tuscaloosa. Wasn’t it obvious?

re: Any Referees? Question about "Forward Progress"
Posted by Pietra on 11/24/12 at 9:54 am to Tiger Phil
You have to remember that calls go back many years and were based on the common practice at that time.
The official clearly had his right arm up prior to the fumble. The play is dead not upon the whistle, but when the official determines it is dead. This goes back to when officials wore the whistles on a lanyard around their necks and sometimes lost their whistle during a play or could not use it in a timely manner.
The arm up signaled the play dead. On the punt return, the butt on the ground was the spot.
