Hi Folks,

I'm Joe. I've been on Tigerdroppings for a long time, mostly in the rant during football season. I'm a proud LSU grad.

Megan is my daughter. She attends CU but rest assured, she's a Tiger.

She is still missing. We have FBI and seven other agencies actively looking for her as well as hundreds of volunteers canvassing neighborhoods in Boulder. The residents of this town have also come to our aid in a big way. The outpouring of support has been unreal.

Megan is not a drug user and not much of a partyer. She's a chill kid who loves Smashing Pumpkins, plays bass, and is a film major. She's eclectic--pink hair is her thing, like lots of students at CU.

If you can help get the word out, we would appreciate it. As you can imagine, we are living in a nightmare right now; however, I don't have time to collapse into despair. I have to find my daughter.

Thank you.

I read somewhere that in the early days of football, the rule was three downs to get five yards, so the fields were marked in five-yard increments. When the rule changed to four downs to get ten yards, everybody else went to ten yard markers. LSU stayed with five.

I can't find the article to corroborate, so I could be lying.

Edit: The rule changed in 1912, so that part is true.

Watched the first half in the west upper deck, got soaked, watched the second half at Murphy's.

Saban declined a dinner invitation from President Bush when he was at Miami because it interfered with his coaching, on a Sunday night in the off-season no less...I'd guess he doesn't want the distraction.

Edit: Here's the link.

And i also remember watching LSU lose in a downpour, but against FSU in ‘91, when they were #1 in the country.. still cant get that annoying ‘OH, oh ooohh’ chant out of my head.. But running back to Power Hall from Tiger Stadium with my friends in the rain after the blowout loss and and the party that ensued is still a great memory in my mind.. would be even better if we’d won, or even been competitive.

We were competitive. We were up 13-0 in the first half but they turned it on in the 2nd. 27-16 final score.

I tumbled down the bleachers of the half-empty student section when we scored on that long Todd Kinchen catch on the first series.

Daylight savings was that night and Murphy's was open until 3am with Better than Ezra. Win or lose, I agree that it was a great night.

YES!!! Thank you!!!

Last night on the local news in Denver a sportscaster said "Devin White from LSU was so fast in the 40 that he probably ran right past the Broncos' #10 pick to #6 or 7."

I didn't camp out an ended up missing it, but you could hear the PMAC from halfway across campus.

Sidenote: I remember the old barber at the Union bitching about "...all these kids coming in asking for 'Laettner' haircuts." :lol:
