That sounds like hazing... but it isn't included on the preeminent list of hazing deaths. I'll take your word for it that it happened though.

There are a lot of rumors about how the library system is run that don't sound so promising. Hopefully all of these rumors are false. For example, it has been said that the system had upwards of $3 million in uncollected overdue fines and other charges for unreturned items with no plans in place to require payment. It has also been said that the library was waiving these fines and charges after 7 years any way, meaning that you could check out thousands of dollars of items with no intent of ever returning the items, and the library would not only do nothing to see that you paid them back but they would also automatically return your library account to good standing 7 years later regardless. This probably means that the uncollected $3 million would actually be millions more if so much of it weren't waived every 7 years. Recently the library said that they wanted to stop collecting past due fines altogether. There was also a supposed laptop computer loan program that had to be discontinued after all but one of the laptops in the program were stolen or destroyed. Money was also supposedly wasted on a framed-painting loan program that has since been ended. :wah:

I thought that it was supposedly to replace burned up kindling in the fireplace. Also, you wrote that they "read," which is kind of tough on the eyesight when it involves only candlelight-level brightness. :confused:

His brother Brian was a great tight end for LSU and played several years in the NFL as a tight end and long snapper. His dad Gus played for LSU back in the 50s.

You forgot about Gary, Austin, and Hunter. :spank:

These guys were all Tigers but played at a lot of different high schools. Gus and Gary were from Baton Rouge High, Brian was from University Lab, Todd was from Trafton (now Dunham), Austin was from Parkview Baptist, and Hunter was also from Dunham. :cheers:

The Dolphins went 6-10 his second season - no team deserves to go to the playoffs with that kind of a record. :casty:

How can you not be sure about Toledo? His Toledo exit was by far the worst of all of his coaching stops. :lol:

Bruh, I think that was the season that it was revealed that UF had committed an astounding 107 NCAA infractions. These violations were all known before the 1984 season had even started, so they should never have even been eligible for the SEC title to begin with. Honestly, with 107 infractions, they were lucky that they weren't given the death penalty - LSU recently committed just 3 violations (very similar to Auburn's recruiting of Cam Newton, which earned AU no NCAA penalty to speak of) and LSU still had to vacate 5% of their all-time win total, sit out a bowl game, pay fines, shrink their football budget, lose scholarships, and be placed on probation for 3 years.
