Read daily. He posted a pretty bleak assessment of his condition a while back, that was both sobering and inspiring. A true Tiger fan, hope he gets better.

Sad to hear. I have started my day with a cup of joe for the last 5 years with him.

be prepared for the site to blow up when DD passes. it will turn into a money maker rather than a site that supported an old couple. Still, how many on here can say they will be as intuned as he's been with the tigers when they get to be his age?

He is the epitome of what it means to be a positiger. Forever Dandy Don!

I figured something was wrong. You can tell his son had been writing the reports for a while.

right, you can tell, but his son does a great job filling in for DD, using his terminology and format, etc.

His son is doing a great job and I will join most of you who read DD first thing in the morning with my coffee.

I also start my day by checking DD every day. He usually gives a good synopsis of what has happened and provides a good filter for what to look for on this site. I wish him tbe best.

The Dandy's Thanksgiving message is always a wonderful and moving look back in rural Louisiana. Dandy Don is not just about LSU but about my home in Louisiana. Prayers DD

Dandy is a great tiger. I found Tiger Droppings through DandyDon. I never met the man but feel like he is a friend. Most of us have known about his serious illness for a while. I was very happy to see he had the strength to throw out the first pitch at game earlier this year.

Probably the greatest LSU fan. Have been starting my day with DD since well before Tigerdroppings existed. When the internet started getting popular he was probably the first LSU related website if not one of the first if I recall correctly.


Yes I know I am old.

Have enjoyed reading his post for years,how anyone could ever say one bad word about him, he's a true Tiger fan, and i for one am thankful for him and even more so he has a son that will keep it going.
