I will only say I was in the Pastime late playing pin ball machines....yes, it was a gambling outlet back then....not flipper machines.
Pastime wanted to shut down for the night, Art was losing big that night, and didn't want to quit. Two cops showed up, and trust me when I tell you those two big cops never had a chance. It was over for them quickly. Pastime shut down immediately, I along with few other spectators were ushered out. As far as I know, Art was never arrested for this.
For my money, it is, and will always be Art Cantrelle.

Art Cantrell was the running back around the time I started going to the games as a kid. He wins the title of most legendary bar fighter.

I remember the night of the Rusty Domingue incident. He won the game for us by blocking an extra point or a field goal then he celebrated by stabbing someone in a bar. He later became a minister.

That would be Joe Atiyeh. He was the bad arse of the 2. George was bigger but Joe was 100% bad arse. Heard a story of him taking down 3 guys at same time.

You may have George mixed up with Joe. George was huge and intimidating but Joe was the real deal.

LSU-Nebraska was a tie 6-6, the blocked XP, allowed McClendon to kick 2 Field Goals and tie it.

it’s funny how after smartphones, we have way less instances of people slinging 900 pound machines around as if it were a traffic cone.



Speaking of 900 pound pinball machines, according to my smart phone google search, the vintage machines weighed between 200-350 pounds depending on their quality.



Thank you for your research.

I will admit that that 900-pound weight was an estimate -- a very inaccurate one, evidently -- from what I remember from the time.

Back then, those old machines were called “biffers” -- you had to bang on them, to try (mostly unsuccessfully) to control the ball, and get it to go into the desired hole.

Today, the collector community (there actually is one) refers to them exclusively as “bingo” machines, to differentiate them from modern flipper machines.

They were heavier, then, because they were entirely electro-mechanical. There were no lightweight modern electronics inside -- just motors, and rotors, and relays, and solenoids, and incandescent lights, and lotsa real wiring.

So I stand corrected: now I won’t be wrong about that, anymore.

There was a Defensive Player(his name escapes me), he was probably the baddest MF'er to play Football.
He put The Smackdown on everyone's "Roody-Poo Candy arse"

I know a guy here in Asheville that says he knocked James Carville out in front of the TKE house at lsu.


Won’t say his name though.

Eric Hill


He cleaned out Sports one night after a game. Cops wouldn’t even go inside. They just let him calm down for an hour.

I remember when Odell Beckham Sr. broke a guy's jaw in Tigerland.

I used to hang around a girl that was pretty good friends with Alan Faneca and we'd periodically run into him at parties. He was a big man.

Ole Art was so bad he'd make a train take a back road. Plus, he could make an onion cry!

I remember a big bouncer at the Tiger in the early 90s picking up a podna of mine by his throat and throwing him out the bar. I believe they called him Zook.... I figured Kevin Steltz would be in this conversation as well.

Not an LSU player but in his hay day, Gayle Hatch was one of the baddest dudes in BR. Heard him tell countless stories and have heard many others confirm.
