Why isn't Dr. James Andrews touted more as an LSU Alum.

Come on Snakebucket...

his renown is state-dependent. Definitely not a household name.

Jesus, they've bought him too? frick it, He's ours. Everything he learned, he learned at LSU. All those ACL's, MCL's and other CL's he's repaired were repaired by TIGER HANDS. This should not be glossed over when touting academic achievement.

I hope you're not serious.

This guy is the ALI, The JORDAN, The BABE RUTH of sports surgeons.

If you've not heard of him you can't be a dedicated sports fan.

Sorry, but L=C is telling the truth. And once Bama claims something, it becomes their's.

frick Bama, He got his degree from LSU. He can't hide from it, nor can the gumps steal it. All those athletes owe a debt of gratitude to the institute of higher learning that is LSU.

His son went to LSU, so it isn't like he is anti-LSU. I think I read his daughter went to Ole Miss though

He's not an LSU fan for whatever reason it seems. He has season tickets to Auburn and Alabama.

Good write up about him in ESPN The Magazine about a year ago and it seemed like his time at LSU was a blip to him.

He's definitely known. He's the go to surgeon for athletes and even celebrities and the insanely wealthy. It seems every day he's written about in some article about an athletes surgery. Guy seems to work his arse off.

The good news is that very few people in this state have any idea who Dr. Andrews is.

You forgot to mention my name in this thread. Just cause I didn't make the big leagues you left me off.
But seriously he is the most down to earth guy ever and treated me like I feel like he would treat Drew Brees.

When he did my surgery he talked about LSU a good bit and about his time there.

If I remember correctly he said he was an all sec pole vaulter.
