He is a former employee of LSU's SID.

Big big big LSU fan.

His mom works for LSU in the AD but not FOR the AD.

Not mad, just curious. Lil Nicky is a former employee of LSU and posts about him stay on the Rant.

TIA.

Because as awful as the story is, it really doesn't have anything to pertain with LSU athletics.

Saban doesn't either. That should be posted somewhere else.

OT board has so many BS posts, Shelby's story keeps getting buried.

Most threads about Saban will usually tie in or have something to do with LSU athletics, though.

I agree with the BS posts, but the OT lounge is the right place for it.

Can it please get stickied at least until funeral arrangements are made?

Many people on here knew Shelby. He's donating his organs. He was a HUGE LSU fan, donated his time to McKinley's Football team (statistician).

These people on O-T ... many are not from LSU.

The story will be on page 20 by tonight with all of the "What did you eat for breakfast" type posts.

So bump the thread if it keeps getting buried. Also, be thankful that the thread wasn't deleted as these type of threads usually are.




ETA, request a sticky from Requesting Admin in the thread.

I have requested sticky more than once.

The Shelby story is larger than life now. I got it onto WAFB. WBRZ and NOLA picked it up.

Hillar Moore was at the crime scene. He went to the hospital with Shelby and stayed the whole night. He's also been back to the hospital a few times. He emailed me with a statement that it's a shame this type stuff happened to such a fine man. He knew Shelby from days at the Old Box. He wasn't just "doing his job."

I went ahead and ra'd for a sticky, too. Maybe it'll get one by lunch time.

if it falls to page 20, then obviously not as many people as you think are interested in reading about it on the OT.

Then, unfortunately, you may have indirectly gotten your answer.

It's certainly a sad story, Red Stick, but if it sinks to page 20 on the OT, then either not too many people know who he was or apparently care about the story .. Just an unfortunate part of life .. You can't force people to care, I guess ..

On the flip side, I do see your frustration as I have seen threads like that stickied before and am sure others will be after .. Don't know the criteria here ..

Eta: just read through the thread closely .. when you started soliciting for donations, that's where it gets dicey .. looks like two other groups outside the OT that would be closer to him and more compelled to donate are already collecting .. They should be able to raise enough, hopefully .. When you start doing that here, it's frowned upon .. Like Captain said, you're lucky the thread didn't get deleted ..

FYI, I've seen many posts about this type of stuff in the past. My post started off as prayers for LSU fan Shelby Holmes.

Be very careful not to upset the mental giants here.
