My worst experience was with Bradie James last year at the Spring game. I went to talk to him and take a pic and he told me he didn't come here for that. But as I walked up to him, he was taking a pic with a white girl. a-hole

Well that's because he is from Thiboduax.

I had an experience in attempting to do business with Josh Booty as a partner.
This was not a positive experience.

In the fall of 1987 I was a freshman. It was the night before the famous Ohio St game. I am in line at Mcdonalds and I'm 5 cents short on my order. All of a sudden, I feel a massive meat par grab my shoulder with a nickel in between the index and middle finger. I turn around and it's Eric Andolesak (sp) and Tommy Hodson. Eric says here you go little man. I'm thinking to myself...holy frick. I told him thanks Mr. Road Worrior (he had that look).

BTW, Jose Vargas was one of the nicest guys you would ever meet on campus.

Met Garrett Temple at a local golf course last year. The guy could not have been nicer. He shared what it was like playing overseas and was excited to be home for the summer. Thanked me for recognizing him and was the first to offer a Geaux Tigers.
I was impressed.

Yes it was. We're from Thibodaux, so Eric was a hero to us. My Dad was a college/pro kicker, so Browndyke was just as cool to me.

I was a drunkard student in 2008 and was walking down Carolatta (sp?) Street on Halloween, it was a Friday. I saw this tall black man and thought it was Terrance Tolliver. I start talking to him like it was asking him why he is partying the night before a home game (don't remember who we were playing). He started messing with me saying he was partying all night and then going to sneak and tailgate before the game tomorrow. I was shocked!!!!

Well after the game (it was 2008 so we probably lost) I went to Mike's in Tigerland and he was there. I was again wasted and went up to him and was like whats up dude we talked on Carolatta Street last night. He gave me this look and said, "What the hell is Carolatta?" So I told him the story and he said he was definitely not on Carolatta and how the hell was he going to tailgate before the game?" Needless to say he walked away thinking I was some dumb arse drunk, which is true because I carried on a long convo with some black guy on Carollata street who I thought was TT but definitely was not Terrence Tolliver!!!

My worst- Warren Morris. Went to the Braves-Pirates game at turner field in 99 or 2000. Was there during BP. Had on my LSU cap and had the baseball media guide "program of the decade". I'm not an autograph hound, but I thought it would be so cool to get The biggest LSU baseball hero to sign the guide. He walks past me on 3 different occasions. I was at the rear of the dugout, he was at the front. "Hey, Warren! Would you mind signing for me?" Nothing. Wouldnt even make eye contact. On his 4th pass, I called him a "below average, middle infielder that was still living off if Omaha


Sounds like your stupidity isn't just limited to tigerdroppings.

dpd901, We also did some work for Eric's Mom's family (Levert) on an antebellum home they own in St. Martinville called St. John. The entire family is super nice and very humble, especially considering the collective coin that they have.

Best: Meeting Gabe Northern through a friend. It was his rookie year in the NFL. Massive guy. He shakes me and my friend's hand and my friend tells him, "I can take you." Gabe just laughs.

Worst: The players used to ref intramural flag football games on Monday night. It was my sophomore year and we just happened to sign up to play on those nights. All the players were really chill and approachable. The season progressed without issue until one of the last games. There were a few guys watching our game from the sidelines making comments. The refs conducted themselves with their usual professionalism. Amongst the people on the sideline making comments was this dopey, unassuming, un-athletic to the point of being fat, guy. My same friend from the previous story, who is chinese and 6'1" 250 is on the field. This guy starts making racially charged comments. "Ching chong" noises and just outright derogatory and vicious stuff aimed at my friend. At this point, a fight ensues, they trade punches and the cops are called to break it up.

That person on the sidelines was.....Rohan Davey. During the rest of my time at LSU I never saw the players ref games again. My guess was team officials felt there was too much risk associated with having them interface with students in that manner.

also got to hang out with Brad Smalling for a while on multiple occasions. prolly the biggest pussy i have ever met in my life. he would whine about his childhood and how he had a rough upbringing and what not. this most certainly translated on the football field as well.

i was a jr or sr in hs and i couldnt believe that someone that big and physically imposing could be such a bitch. he would tell me how he would skip practice sometimes to have to take care of "his" kids. thing was they werent his. it was some north LA road trash chick he was in love with's kids. this was a huge disappointment.

as far as JJ kicking my nephew... that was some good shite.

i also remember close after the time Dunson got owned in Tigerland parking lot. he started banging one of my neighbors. i remember seeing him about a week later with his face still fricked up. it was hilarious.

Ran into Shaq when he was with the Magic, post game, & he saw my son's LSU hat & walked over uninvited & chatted with us for a good 10 minutes. As he was leaving to go to the locker room, he looked around & saw about 10 hot groupies standing around the exit: he laughed, looked at the girls, at my son, and told him that is what he loved the most bout the NBA. As for the worst, ran across Joey Bell when he was at his prime for the Indians. By pure coincidence, my family & I were staying at the same hotel as the team. He was walking thru the lobby & almost ran into us as he was not looking & talking with a friend. Spying the LSU hat on my son's head, he sneered & said, plainly & loudly: "frick" LSU. My wife almost lost it & was going for him when I pulled her back. A total prick.
