How many 'game day' shirts do you guys still have ? I think I must have at least 15 back at my parents' home.

The White Horse on Highland Rd. Across the street was The Brass Rail.

When were they sued by the magazine and forced to change their name?

No idea, but I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did now that you mentioned it.

Early 90’s? I recall it was just called Sports in 1998.

I’m not exactly sure. It was Sports when I moved in 90.

Seems like it was Reggies in 2003.

Dublin’s for some odd reason wasn’t as much fun as the other bars around Tigerland. I would still go, but I enjoyed the other ones you listed more.

Was The Tiger the bar on the left as you drove into Tigerland with Fred’s, Sports Illustrated on the right?

Agreed. Not big enough and didn't have that appeal. A poor man's Sports.

Before I made my first million, Paul, I thought of buying it out and making a Portugese restaurant and bar, but instead I invested solely overseas in 2006.

It was around 1992-1994 that they were forced to change their name. I don't get how the owners never thought they'd get in trouble to begin with.

I liked it better than the Tiger. LSU football players would frequent Sports in the 90s.

Rolotolos was where mikes now is and was more bar than restaurant. It was then called Heismans for a few months before being forced to change names

I used to bounce at Rotolo's back around 2000. Paycheck almost covered my bar tab some weeks.
