re: LSU Boosters, You Paid for That

[quote]They're never on the floor for the anthem at this being the excuse. That’s even worse[/quote] Pretty much no college football team, including your beloved Crimson Tide, are on the field during the National Anthem. (This is true of my LSU Fighting Tigers as well). Spare me your out...

[quote]Bruce Pearl[/quote] Pearl is the model for what we need. Similar to Dale Brown in being a big personality that demands attention. Has an incredible basketball mind. When we hired Johnny Jones, he was in the middle of his 5-year show-cause. We could have hired him, but it would have bee...
[quote]We were a 10 seed that year. And I'm still pissed that Knight got EVERY FLUCKING CALL after banging the phone mid 2nd half. No way we lose if those refs had the balls to stand up to Knight. And I RARELY am a refs beat us kinda guy. But it was blatantly obvious in that last 10 minutes.[/...

[quote]I have absolutely no idea what this is suppose to represent. English, do you speak it??????[/quote] It's just a picture of Sigourney Weaver "from days gone by." It's her "senior quote" from her high school yearbook. It has nothing to do with your previous post. At least, that's...

re: How many of you believe in "The One?"

Posted by Thorny on 3/15/24 at 12:26 pm
I do not. In my experience, when someone says they've found their "soulmate", they are often using the term to justify their own infidelity. Not always, but often. They are pulling away from the one they married for some reason and justify it "because they weren't 'the one.'" I have a great m...
[quote]2. Florida is the outlier. They have the most talent rich state and have far less competition. Any coach that is not a moron should win 9 games annually in Gainesville. (Just like LSU). Their only limitation is themselves.[/quote] Hey, don't lump us in with the Gators. We've had two mo...
Here is the order for the entire conference: 1 Oklahoma 1939 2 Texas 1939 3 Arkansas 1941 [u]4 Kentucky 1942[/u] 5 Missouri 1944 6 Texas A&M 1951 [u]7 LSU 1953[/u] [u]8 Mississippi State 1963[/u] [u]9 Vanderbilt 1965[/u] [u]10 Tennessee 1967[/u] 11 South Carolina 1971 [u]12 Alabama 1975[...
LSU made the Final Four in their first year in the Tournament. Their regular season's 20-1 (13-0 SEC) record gave them a bye to the Sweet Sixteen, where they won two games to win the East-1 Region. That team included college and NBA hall of famer Bob Pettit (who still attends pretty much ever...
[quote]If we are being honest, that wasn't a particularly egregious foul. It was absolutely intentional. But it wasn't one of the more physical contacts Shaq had to endure that year.[/quote] Perhaps, but I've never seen a foul like that in any other game. Other than this time, I've never seen any...
Recent purchases/gifts: Dri-fit type: Rhoback: Heavier fabric. Higher price than others. Michael Rouen: Fabric similar to Rhoback, but not as expensive. Callaway: Fit is more slim than others. Fabric is good. M Maelreg: Nice feel and great for golf, but first shirt is starting to fade...

re: LSU vs South Carolina fouls called

Posted by Thorny on 3/12/24 at 4:26 pm
[quote]I thought I saw a couple techs not get called on both teams[/quote] I'm not the most knowledgeable basketball fan, and I only watched the 4th quarter, but I surely thought that having an assistant coach give a player on the court a high-five during live play was a technical foul. Wasn'...
[quote]I fully remember the play and have never defended the guy. I was pretty upset about it because it added insult to injury and was a stupid move. As I said previously, it was a cheap shot and not his finest moment. No idea why you just ignored the other sentence or why you guys are crying ab...
[quote]If it was 10 years after the play was over, why did the guy get up and run with the ball after the hit?[/quote] That was a totally different player. Dickerson hit #5, Kary Vincent. Vincent is still on the ground at the end of the GIF, was on the ground for a minute after the end of the ...

re: Eli Manning.. HOF [Yes] or [No]

Yes. If Joe Namath is in, there is no reason Eli shouldn't be. GEAUX TIGERS!...

[quote]Dynasties usually last around 3-4 seasons before starting to fizzle. Bama not only won 5 championships from 2009-2017, they also had multiple seasons where they damn near won it all. In fact, I’d say that every season from 2008-2021 save for 2010 had a Bama team that could have won the NC. Th...
[quote]Washington DC gave a no bid contract to a shitty company for the only authorized betting app. It is universally despised. The Post had an article about how folks go for a drive or bike ride outside the district, then pull over and place their bets on the better apps allowed in Virginia or ...
Has any coach or player been injured (much less seriously) by fans rushing the court/field? Clemson allows fans on the field after every game. They've even designed their goalposts to come down to prevent injury to fans trying to tear them down. Doesn't seem to bother anything. JMHO. GEAUX ...

[quote]Anyway you look at it - we’re something around 6th-8th in the SEC[/quote] Anything that keeps us from playing on Wednesday in the SEC Tournament is an improvement from the pre-season predictions for this team. GEAUX TIGERS!...
