He did the same dunk to a scrub team earlier in the year. I can't remember who though.
Grambling. LSU thumped them by 60 or some ridiculous number.
I remember seeing the breakaway in the Zona game and knowing he was gonna do that dunk. Nearly took the roof off the place.

It will vary for pretty much every record. You can use actual books like the Goldmine guides to help you narrow it down, but websites like Discogs.com and popsike.com will give you more specific clues and information. You can also see a decent market approximation of the record.

I know we don't have that in Baton Rouge but I wonder if they do that sort of thing in other cities?
New Orleans has the "Record Raid" and has swaps twice a year where you can buy or sell with other dealers. Lafayette also has the "Acadiana Vinyl Haul" and has had swap meets usually in the spring and fall. Both groups have facebook pages if you want to look into that.

My grandparents were there and my grandmother's favorite story about the game was about the Ole Miss fan who kept asking her, "where's your Billy Cannon?" all night. During the return, Grandma tapped her on the shoulder and said, "there he goes right there!"

re: Another Look at the Game Winning Shot (In Pictures)

I guarantee you Hornsby shooting that shot from that spot was an option on the play.
Agreed. They have run plays specifically designed for Hornsby to shoot from the corner. I can remember the game at WVU where we needed a 3 to tie and it was a similar spot. They've also set him up for that corner shot on set plays before half-time buzzer. I think he likes that look. Not to say he was the primary option, but TQ clearing that corner was definitely part of the design.

I don't think he'll sign with LSU either, but besides wanting him on the team, I'd love to watch all the posters who have been ripping him start crawfishing and talking about how great he is.

Excellent. 13 days until we're one loss away from idiots calling for CPM to be fired.
re: Elbert Robinson: how is he developing?
Posted by Jack Burton on 1/11/15 at 11:10 am
He has dropped a lot of weight since getting to LSU and he's still struggling with stamina and quickness. I hope he improves in those areas (and knowing his defensive rotations) bc you can't coach height.

If things continue as they have, you'll be forced to see it sooner or later. Until then, you'll be dealing with the disappointment year after year. I'm not being a condescending dick when I say that I used to be like you. Lot of water over the dam between then and now
I'd rather expect success and be disappointed by failure than to concede before the game is played.

I've thought about it. I don't think about my team that way. The minute I start believing that they can't improve or compete with other programs then I'll stop watching them play. Call it what you like, but that's how I support the Tigers.
There was a coach that diagnosed the LSU fanbase with catastrophe syndrome. He was correct. It was gone a while, but it's back.

A definitive statement that LSU is "dead" as a championship caliber program is asinine and a knee jerk reaction. Yes, they have won 4 in a row against LSU, but to say that means that the Tigers can't or will never beat them or win another championship is an opinion. Not fact. Thus, my opinion that the OP and those ascribing to that thinking are vaginas.

Jesus what a bunch of weepy vaginas.
re: WWYD as Wisconsin Coach?
Posted by Jack Burton on 9/4/14 at 8:29 pm
If the coach decides not to go for it, then they should have run out the back of the endzone and taken the safety. Yes, gives up points but it doesn't use as much time, you can still try to put them in their own territory with a kick or go for broke with an onside. TD will still win it for you and if you get the ball back (whether onside kick or 3 and out) your field position is likely infinitely better.
In my opinion, of course.

re: The LSU par-3 golf course is now a parking lot??

I hope they add an elevated walkway to this plan. It wouldn't suck for people to be able to cross Nicholson without waiting for the light.
re: Thank you Andre Stringer!!

I will miss those parking-lot threes of his. He really developed his game over the 4 years and has been a great representative of Tiger Basketball. Best of luck to him in all things!
re: Would you be upset if Tiger Stadium had tan stucco...

I'd be happy of they got rid of the butt ugly fake brick and prison shutters on the west side. Worst look on the whole goddamn stadium.

There was a good student turnout for the game Saturday. I hope that continues.
