I hadn’t watched LSU much, but after reading too many TD posts I thought your QB would be in a wheel chair and have his arm in a sling. He looked pretty good to me. Your defense was prepared and aggressive. Good luck down the road.

Bryant’s first game as HC at Alabama was in Mobile, at Ladd Stadium on 1958 versus LSU . . . temporary wooden bleachers were added which collapsed during the game.


Actually, the bleachers were there in August 1958 with tape stating they were condemned. i was there for boy scout jamboree then and remember seeing them excluded from use. i also went to the game in September, my first college football game.

You should have been in Tuscaloosa before GulfStates paper mill closed
I am glad that he might live in Louisiana, for I won’t have to worry if I am on trial got a crime I didn’t commit he will be on the jury.
1979 Bama v LSU in Baton Rouge. “It never rains in Death Valley” from the Cajun natives but it rained all day in Baton Rouge. We had tickets on row L in the end zone, not too bad I thought. Later I learned the Cajun alphabet apparently starts with J. We got to watch a fraternity flag football game as pregame preparation for the muddy field.
In the late 70’s I was working with UAT football team and some older coaches were talking about the death of Coach Crisp. They were telling about routine practice then was to take players who hadn’t participated in scrimmage that day to Starkville to scrimmage those from Miss St that who hadn’t scrimmaged that day either. Yes, it is close.
Anyone with honest opinion on why USCw has so few fans. Is it a reflection of the atmosphere around the Coliseum or the break down of LA society in general or can you give a better reason.
Just one game comes to mind, 1977 bama at home against UGA which finished 5-7. After game, won by bama 18-10, Ga student walking down the street yelling to many quiet, sullen bama students “Why so quiet? Ya’ll won.” Does the thrill of victory dim with prolonged success? What say you?

I was sitting with my wife in the South EZ pleading with Gus to “watch for the fake pun”. After watching his following years coaching, I now believe if he could have heard me he would have ignored me because he was the smartest man in the stadium.
As to the ranked recruiting classes over the years that followed, I think the ratings reflected the individual recruits and did not indicate a well mixed recruit class.
I’d give a mention to the coach whose pregame instructions often were “Let’s hang a half a hundred on them and get outa here”.
Not a mention of Darwin Holt. This is a young crowd.

Deliverance was filmed in several states none of which was Kentucky.
I thought that this might be an interesting read but after a time wasting search it seems that the actual title is “ The Fall of the House of Zeus.
Just saw this on IMDB this AM- “Between the two of us, Bill Clinton and I have settled any lingering myths about the brilliance of Rhodes scholars” -Kris Kristofferson.

re: Craziest Scores in SEC History

Have to go back to before my time. Uat beat Auburn in the 1st renewal of the series in 1948 55-0. The next year Auburn won 14-13.
My first thought on seeing the post was Bear Bryant wearing a football helmet on his first return to Grant Field after the Darwin Holt-Chick Graning episode to protect him from empty whiskey bottles donated from the GT fans in the stands.

The CPF had nothing to do with this set up. Alabama, Alabama, and Ole Miss all lost only one SEC game, Alabama beat Georgia who beat Ole Miss, ergo Alabama and Georgia play in SECCG.
