Indiana Tiger

FWIW: It's Lena, not Leah, and since you didn't mention it, the woman with Sam is Isabella Rossellini.

Weird title. The Golden Globes didn't snub Rogan; he snubbed them.

The inspiration:

I haven't seen the movie, but this is the documentary that inspired the movie.

Blood Simple (Coen Bros first)
Raising Arizona (Coen's 2nd -- much different from the rest on this list)
Hard Eight (PT Anderson's first)
House of Games (Mamet)
Glengarry Glen Ross (Mamet)
Red Rock West

That phrase originated in the 19th century. Need to up that cash value if you want to sound like a big spender.

This is about KW not wanting to coach rather than Lane not offering. My guess is that the demands on a college assistant are more than he wants to give at this stage in his life.

You're missing a game and it's an SEC opponent.


ETA: There's an @Ole Miss game. Probably doesn't make it harder.

I remember this. Did LSU decide not to play in a bowl game or were there were no bowls available for them to attend? ND also possibly cost LSU the 1969 National Championship. That '69 defense was ferocious

According to Wiki, three bowls showed interest (Gator, Bluebonnet, and Peach). I remember the Peach invite, but not the others, but I have no reason to doubt it. The Peach turndown was somewhat understandable since we participated in the inaugural game the year before. So there was opportunity.

No one outside of LSU cared about this protest. It was an own goal. To the extent they punished anyone, it would have been a bowl game community that had nothing to do with this.

There is no way we would have gotten a national championship. First, we played an incredibly weak schedule. Only 3 teams had a winning record:

o We beat 8-2 AU by 1pt and then got beaten badly in their bowl game against Houston;

o We lost to 7-3 OM, but they went on to beat Ark in their bowl.

o We beat 6-4 AL by 5 pts and they went on to lost pretty badly to Colorado.

Everybody else had losing records and we didn't dominate anyone with a pulse.

We were ranked 8th in the AP after the last regular season game. In the Final AP, Penn State was #2 and undefeated and USC was #3 unbeaten and tied once. There is no way we would have jumped these teams to number 1.

LSU fans like to create a mythology that has no basis in fact--like Arnsparger recommending Archer so he could hire Spurrier or that T-Bob was the hero of the TN game fiasco. We should honor this team for what it actually accomplished and not make up bullshite.

SEC has a requirement to schedule one P4 opponent. Who is willing to schedule us at this late date?
