It was laughably sad how many fans of Kansas St. were bragging on Twitter about having supposedly beaten the team that won the nat'l title 2 years prior to that meaningless bowl. No matter how many times that I pointed out that there were a dozen or so at most players from the '19 squad playing vs. KSU, few to none of whom were starters in '19.

I have some ideas:
1. Saban says “crayfish”.
2. Saban thinks tilapia is real Cajun food.
3. Saban puts heighteners in his shoes.
4. Saban orders vegetarian gumbo.
5. Alabama= the anus of America.

For any of you who used to listen to Buddy D's show on WWL AM after the Saints' games in the '90s & 2000s, I have a few questions.

1. What was the name of the guy who billed himself as the "President of the Down to Earth Club" as a pessimistic response to Bubba & the Magic Carpet Riders?

2. Have any of those frequent callers (Dr. Kavorkian, Sid from Jefferson, Bubba & others called in since Deke & Bobby took over the show? I've never heard them.

Watching in my living of my house near Monterey Bay. I'm sure I startled my neighbors since I yelled loudly & there was only a few separating my house from neighbors on both sides.

Miles has gotten to where Cholly Mack was in many ways. Nice guy Good winning % BUT could not win the BIG ONES.

Mack was 2-14 vs the Gumps. He lost his last 9 games vs Bama. Miles is 5-7 vs Bama & lost his last 5. Looks like history is repeating itself.

I understand the whole band not traveling if it's for financial reasons. If only a pep band can go to each road game, so be it. Better a portion of the GBFTL than none at each game.
I just hope it doesn't end up as it did during the Broadhead Administration. The band had to organize its own transportation to Oxford 1 yr in the 80s. They carpooled enough members but not the whole band.

If so, can you give us update on what's happening? How big in the presence of LSU fans? How are the locals reacting to this (like the extra business or hate the increased traffic)?

Counted among some of Michigan's wins are games vs high schools.

They (Tulane) are arguably the worst Div.I program in the last 40 years.

As much as I hate Toolame, I must say this is not true. The Green Weenies had very short-lived success w/ Tommy Bowden (7-4 & 11-0). They've played in bowls several times. They did beat Old Myth & MS St. occasionally when playing them every season until the late 80s.
If they were nearly as smart as they claim, they never would have left the SEC. They would've still struggled to win as much as they did as an independent. However, they could've financially set as another perennial loser, Vandy, is. They certainly would've have at least 30K at homes games for SEC games, even if that meant the opponent had the majority in the stands. Their regular scheduling of teams from the East Coast (Navy, Rutgers, etc.) as an independent led to plenty of empty seats in the Dome for decades.

Arnsparger's main problem was recruiting. He had a lax attitude. He figured the quality players in LA would automatically gravitate to LSU. So some high profile recruits went elsewhere after not being courted by Arnie's staff (Neil Smith to Nebraska is an example.)

Also, the performances in the bowls were embarrassing.
