The 1987 club went 55–14 and battled its way back to the College World Series for the second season in a row,

The 1986 team was the one that went 55-14. LSU was 49-19 in 1987. Also, the jersey is a close replica, but as you can see in the old photos, the logo on the front was not on a flat horizontal plane. It was slanted up about 20 degress from left to right.

That does it. Only a matter of time before Wade is back.

As for Forde...

A&M picked a bad time to have a two-game losing streak.

Cool, it's not your life. Just because you're a talking head on National TV doesn't mean your opinion matters on what others choose to do with their life.

It's silly really.

Exactly.

If there is one thing that has become abundantly clear in the past week, its that LSU is where Kiffin wants to be. Why should Kiffin have turned down the chance to do something he really wants to do? Howard can say Kiffin should have stayed at Ole Miss a million times, but it won't change the fact that Kiffin just didn't want that.

:lol: Next week will be 'determinative' as opposed to just saying next week will determine. Here's another word for you.

pretentious: a word that describes people who try to impress by sounding more knowledgeable than they are.

And, the answer to your question is maybe. The Ole Miss game, win or lose, will not determine if LSU makes the playoffs, so your supposition that the game will define LSU's playoff chances is incorrect.

What’s funny is that if LSU and Texas played each other at a neutral site next week, Texas would still be the favorite.

Maybe. But until Arch shows he can handle being a college-level starting quarterback then I wouldn't be putting money on Texas.

I always love these press release quotes that don't even try to hide that it was written by someone other than the person it is attributed to.

Shaq is worth half a billion. He doesn't write press releases or statements that are disseminated immediately after he has met privately with business and community leaders. It was a written, on-the-record statement clearly endorsed by O'Neal. The statement didn't try to hide anything because, you know, there was nothing to hide.

Here's the Kentucky radio call.

Here's an example. Look at Kentucky basketball. They don't have great relationships with their last three national championship coaches.

Pitino wins the 1996 NC, leaves to coach the Celtics, and later returns to the college ranks coaching Louisville. Tubby Smith followed Pitino, won the 1998 NC and a few down years later resigned to become the head coach at Minnesota. Kentucky's latest NC head coach, Calipari, is now the coach at Arkansas.

shite happens.

Sure, but where are all the stories about A&M wasting money on a baseball stadium. They were there when A&M paid off Jimbo. No one is writing negatively about A&M spending the money on baseball. For that matter, no one did when Mississippi State built the best baseball stadium in the country. Tennessee is about to spend Jimbo money on its baseball stadium. Where is all the negative press? Its almost like baseball is a sport deserving of the expenditure.

Nah. Graves obviously has the means to live anywhere he wants, but he lives in Baton Rouge, where Raising Cane's is headquartered. As for the chicken, I can't recall the last time I ate some of it.
